Celebration IV in Los AngelesSo who is going to join me in California for a four day celebration of all things Star Wars?

I am everywhere. Right now I'm in Disney for Weekends while at the same time being home to tend by bonsai tree (named Vergere). Tomorrow I will be in line waiting for Aaron Allston while packing for the return trip and repacking for the trip back down for next weekend. Mooahaha. It's wonderful being a shadow.
But yeah, I get to go. My sister and I are, how should I put it?... Fanatics.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Take me with you! 
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Well you're way closer than I am. We've got about a years notice, so if you start off walking I'll make them land the plane to get you. 
You should ask your parents about going, though. It's great.

Lady Ducki
|
When is it?
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Blah. This is the part I forget easily. I want to say the 18-22. But I could be wrong and it might be the 20-24. All I know is that it's scheduled for '07.
|
Lady Ducki
|
'07? I don't think I can go to Europe and LA in the same summer

'07 you say. Hopefully I can go, I want to go to at least one Star Wars celebration before I die  . I guess a little bribing would be in order or I could always sneak out but I think the would notice me being gone.

Hm, interesting. I'll try to talk my mother into letting me go, after all, I've had to go to California and New York because she wanted to go to a couple events as well, only fair that she does it for me as well. No way she'd let me go by myself though, so she'd probably be following me around,lol

I live in California.
But I wanna live in freakin' Maryland... 
|
Emperor Shadow
|
We know. Are you going? If so, I'll probably see you there.
|
Dork of Mordork
|
Probably not, I'll be in Virginia by then, lol.
I can't wait till I move to Maryland after though... you should know why. And there's also family there.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Yes, I know why. We've got the best time zone.
|
Lady Ducki
|
I kinda miss Maryland
|
Emperor Shadow
|
I only like Annapolis.

Baltimore is so much better!
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Oh, yeah. I forgot about Baltimore. Make that two.

I highly doubt I will be going. I was at Celebration III, and it was insane. I spent too much of my time waiting in lines and getting frustrated with how badly organized it was... it's like they said "these are Star Wars fans, they're famous for waiting in lines for days, even weeks for a good seat at a movie - they won't object to waiting hours for an event, when there are a dozen different events going on at once, that they have to miss because they're waiting in line!"
The volunteer staff had less training on how to handle a situation like that, than at any convention I've seen with one-tenth the attendance. I ended up getting a couple offers to join the staff because a few people knew that I knew what I was doing, and my response was that I had little enough time to fit in a third of what I wanted to do there, why would I want to have even less time just to get a free t-shirt and a partial refund of the con ticket (which was one of the cheapest parts of the whole thing, compared with plane fare and hotel tickets).
All that, plus I hate Los Angeles, and if I ever see it again, it will be too soon.
For quite a while I was pushing on the sw.com forums, to having a touring Celebration IV, with smaller conventions at different locations around the country. I'd be more likely to follow that tour around and go to ten conventions each with a few thousand people, than go to another one with thirty thousand people.
All that said, I still may break down and figure out a way to attend, if they add an event that I just cannot miss.

I'm from Pax River, lol.
But I like Baltimore, for a few reasons.
Pax is great too.

I'm going to meet the one author I personally haven't met but my sister adores (Karen Traviss). Other than that, I may cycle through and meet one or two of the celebrities and be there for the big announcements about the T.V. shows.

Awesome, say hi to her from AnAkInSoLo, and see if she remembers me, , cause after all, I was the one to create the idea of an Ask Jaren thread on sw.com, , and she said she had missed me while I was off creating this Empire, .
