    LMAO, facts only.
    The only remaining question now is how much will Official Pix be charging for the dual photo op?

    One thing I learned from going to London this year was that your really don’t need to bring any cash. Everything from train tickets to food stands accepts contactless payments (phone or plastic card), and many places only accepted those forms of payment. I ended up reconverting most of the pounds I brought on this trip.

    One thing to remember is to tell your bank or credit card provider before you travel if you don't do a lot of international trips. Unusual usage of a card can trigger a security alert and you might find your card blocked if they don't know. Visa or Mastercard are commonly accepted here but there can be issues with Amex or Diner's Club.

    Just because you're banned from the newsletter doesn't mean the rest of us are.

    apparently I'm banned from the newsletter as well. I haven't gotten the email yet. They probably blacklisted me after my review of Orlando 17 and chic 19.

    What is this newsletter you are talking about?

    I just finished recording the next episode of the podcast I'm doing, with a lot of talk about Celebration and how none of us doing the pod was there. We have great plans for London though and of course we are planning on applying for the podcast stage.

    It's funny as I never receive the generic news emails at my yahoo email (I actually created a gmail just to get them) but everything linked to my ticket purchase normally comes through so I would have expected to get the survey.

    I never get the newsletter and just like I didn’t with Chicago, I haven’t received the survey this time either!

    Don't worry. I asked for more David Collins panels on your behalf.

    I feel like next year is our best shot at getting Mark for awhile. It's ROTJ's 40th, surely that has to count for something?

    I think it's possible he goes to the panel. The question is would he be willing to make the trip to London? I don't expect him to sign again.

    He did the first two London events but both of those were before he retired from conventions. Like @star_wars_is_good says, I think there's a chance he comes for the panel (really, really hope he does!) but I wouldn't expect him to sign.

    If he does then I hope he does his own panel as well as the 40th, they're always a highlight :)

    Unfortunately, going to London is out of my price range and abilities right now, but again, I'm so thrilled for everyone who can go, especially those who live close enough that it won't be a far trip.

    My biggest regret right now about not being able to attend is that I have a feeling the Art Show is going to have a lot of great work inspired by the Obi-Wan Kenobi series and I'm going to miss out on it [face_laugh]

    I'm just throwing this out there and will bring this up again as we get closer, but if there is a print that I really want, would anybody be willing to pick it up for me? I will pay you extra for your troubles and of course shipping and everything. I was thinking it would be easier for American fans who attends to do this, since it would be easier for them to ship it back to me once they got home. I'd really, really appreciate it!

    Didn't even think of Kenobi! My wallet was crying just at the thought of ROTJ art, now it's double crying.

    If no one from the US can pick up the print for you then I can as we're definitely going.

    Thank you so much! [face_laugh]

    I just realized there is probably gonna be a lot of art inspired by the first season of Andor as well.

    I'm sure they're also working on the ROTJ edition of "From A Certain Point of View", so I wonder if they'll try to get as many authors as they can to be there to sign it like they did for the ANH edition.
