    I got a new camera as well, but I'm not 100% thrilled with it. I may get another one. It takes an incredible picture, but it takes about 5 seconds for the flash to recharge.

    Other than that, I am all done preping for CIV. All I have to do is wait. [face_whistling]

    Well finally got the cash to completely payoff my hotel for the entire trip so the only left is spending cash as my costumes, plane ticket, badge, and autographs are PAID!!!

    It's great to see that everyone's CIV planning is just about finished. Kudos to everyone and their Star Wars diligence!

    Man, we are in for one heck of a great time in LA... =D=

    Puppies born. Start getting deposits on them in about 4 weeks... sell them prior to C-IV and I don't have to worry about spending cash! Of course, I know I'll end up keeping at least one those sweet things!

    Plane ticket, 4-day convention pass, Carrie Fisher autograph session ticket and round-trip Super Shuttle reservation (for LA only) - done. I have hotel reservations but I'm still saving for that, as well as spending money, food money, an LA tour, maybe Disneyland and maybe a trip to Venice Beach. But I might not be able to afford all these tours financially or timewise.

    Danpa...

    It is free and it was featured in the movie Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. I think the Tar Pits would be cool to visit, but I am into that sorta thing. Anything that scientific makes me excited and it does not hurt that it free either. Plus, I wanted to sare something with the kids that they may not see in a long time!!!

    Amidala081499,
    I think I remember that scene now (I haven't seen that movie in a long time). I'm like yourself, if it's free it can't hurt to go check it out. :D

    I finally took the plunge! I've been messing with my schedule for weeks now but tonight I decided to book my airfare to San Diego since Southwest's sale ends tomorrow ($109 one way). I arrive on the 15th. I've made my San Diego and Anaheim arrangements. I need to book a hotel for the few sightseeing days I'll have in LA before C4 begins. Then I need to decide if I'm going to San Francisco before I make it to Vegas. I'm running out of funds and I need lots of spending money during C4. I suspect everything is going to be expensive.

    Anyway, badge purchased, hotel reserved, flight & Amtrak booked! All I need now is my GenCon & Official Pix schedules.

    I'm going to pick up one of those prints this weekend at the CSC. AaS, did you get a signed one?

    The pups are only 5 days old and I already have 3 sold! (no, they don't go to the new homes for about 7 more weeks) That's my C-IV cash. YES!

    Flight and hotel are booked, awaiting to receive the badge which I bought a few months ago.

    Money, packing and anything else will be last minute, as usual. :)

    OfficialPix will have their table inside their autograph area, where all the pictures are sold. You'll be able to get the pictures in the same place you'll get the autographs themselves.

    so i'll pay them there I take it? cash or coupon is what I need to know. being that i'm getting other autographs, I was curious as I said, if I should buy extra coupons online to cover the cost of the pics or do I pay cash. hope that made sense. :)

    I think I understand now. You pay cash (cash or credit cards) for the pictures. The coupons you purchase are for the actual autographs that you want.

    I just tallied up all of my pre-orders that I have with Starwars.com, SideShow Toys, and ShopAFX. I'm on the hook for over $1,800 worth of Star Wars items this year! :eek:

    Between all those pre-orders and preparing/saving for CIV, Star Wars is gonna own my wallet in 2007!!
