The Social Thread -- never mind Announcements, let's just chat!

You guys should check out this little video if you haven't already. It's a must for all Star Wars fans. LOL!

Great video

 

That was doggone funny....

 

Typical Star Wars fan sense of humor. =) That's just one of the things that I've always felt has made us better then them! ;-)

 

OMG That was great! LOL I love films like that!

 

Eh, I like them both equally. I grew up with both and they are both so different that it's a matter of which I'm in the mood for. One is SCIENCE-fiction and the other is science-FICTION. Star Wars is a fantasy where the fiction greatly overpowers the science, it takes place in the distant past in a distant world. It's like dungeons and dragons and Lord of the rings in space. Star Trek is the "possible" human future it's what WE might be able to achieve if we put aside our own differences and work together, good and evil aren't black or white and the science part of the fiction is more grounded.

 

Best wishes for a Happy (and safe) Fourth of July!

It's hotter n' a firecracker out here...that's the Summer in Sun City for you....

 

I'm off to Comic-Con today, so y'all be good until I get back .

I'm working with OfficialPix (with Mark Hamill -- I'm getting a picture this time <g>) and Lucasfilm again, and will miss the Star Wars Extravaganza -- you guys will probably find out where Celebration V is going to be before I do, if you follow the G4 show! LOL But the news will spread fast, I know.

 

Give Mark a kiss for me!!

 

Have fun!

 

Worked this morning for OfficialPix: first impressions: Ashley Eckstein and Catherine Tabor are amongst the nicest, nicest people one could ever hope to meet.

And Tom Kane is not bad, either -- but I've met him before, so he doesn't count .

I'm hoping that Steve and/or Mary may give us something to chew on at tomorrow's Fan Club breakfast -- but they are really being close-mouthed. Like I said, you guys will probably find out before I do, since I'm working during the "Big Reveal" LOL.

 

OMG...Helen...I am sooo excite for you!

Wowsa, what am I going to do. I am leaving for a D.C trip tomorrow and I will not be around for the big announcement. Grrrr...I am nervous as all heck!

Guess I will have to bring a laptop!


Huggles!

 

Rumor has it that it is indeed Chicago. Wouldn't be a surprise considering the SW lineup at WizardWorld this year...

 

I would not be surprised if they pick Chicago. I already planning on not going that way I won't be disappointed and I won't waste my precious time losing sleep over a star wars convention. I am bias since I live aa hour south of Indy and the economy will not recover in time to save money for a Celebration V.

 

Are you kidding me?????

The economy is going to get a huge kick in the tushy for that week!

Saving savin savin.....

 

If it is Chicago it will work out brilliant for me as i aqm going to visit the land of my hero in history ie Abraham Lincoln and i am going to spend a couple of days post C5 in Washington DC and Chicago O Hare airport is one of my favourite airports,and flights from the UK are quite reasonable,BTW i will be in the market for a roomate as well,any offers please pm me.

 

Small world, Me too.

 

My husband just told me Hasbro announced that it is having a contest and one of the prizes is a trip to C5 next year but no location was given.

 

WOW! I live an hour north of Indy!

 

Really, I live 13 hours east of Indy.

 

There is a large group of fans that are two hours south of Indy (in Louisville). Hello again Echo-3!

If C5 is in Chicago, the Louisville Galactic Alliance is going as a group. Also, I was just in Chicago in May. I know the layout of the area and have some info on a few hotels up there.

Still hoping Indy gets it though

 

Come on, Chicago!

 

I think it is pretty clear that Chicago will host C5. Why not announce it at SDCC? Well, if you are going to be in Chicago in 2 weeks for another convention, why not announce it in the host city (as I'm sure Sansweet will be doing at Wizardworld ).

 

Nothing is 100% guaranteed it is official. Unless Steve Sansweet told someone and they are keeping the information to themselves. I doubt I will go it is Chicago. 5 hour drive is too far with the economy like it is. The interstates around chicago on the Indiana side are terrible. I am a terrible driver with congested traffic going 80mph plus. Makes me nervous and I sweat to death. I would not go to Chicago by myself. Mapquest says it takes 5 hours. I hope Indy gets it. They deserve another chance to host it now that Gencon it not in charge. If gencon was not charge for CII or CIII then more fans would of looked more favorably on the Indiana Convention Center after having the conventions. I talked to several people who went to CII and/or CIII where I lived and they have no problems with it. Go Indy!

 

I think the one problem with Indy is that all the expansion and remodeling won't be finished by next year. But go Indy for C6 in 2013!
