Dennis is a real nice guy. Have fun folks! I wished I could have stayed at the exhibit some extra time. Anywho, if any of you get more Zam pics, if you don't mind them being grouped together with mine and some other folks on a cd, please email me at zamiam@comcast.net I am hope to compile a FIDM Zam pics ref cd. I missed out on more upper body shots, cause I didn't have enough time to take more pics. I also had the problem of not being able to use flash which caused havoc to half of the pics I took. You will have the same problems unless your camera has coolio features. One of our friends had a night vision camera shot thingee which worked a lot better in the darkside room. I took video footage, cause the lighting was a better capture than using my sony digicam. You might want to use that instead. The 20x zoom on my digicamcorder did wonders in comparison to my digicamera The "not having flash" caused the autofocus to go haywire, and tons of pics came out like I was riding in a roller coaster while taking pics. I of course, can't go to this meet, but thanks to Maul Maus I went last month. It was freakin cool, the store owner asked me to sit in the x wing with my costume. (After 3 years, I had to take a pic of my costume next to the real thing.)
Have fun stormin the castle! :)

I’m still so glad you had a blast at FIDM last month during your So Cal visit and if anyone deserved that face to face with the real deal it was you Yvonne. (y)

I'm still feeling guilty not meetup with you and the Zammers last month! :(

I'll be sure to make it down for sure this time for the meetup and I’ll pickup some better shots while I'm there of the TDH trio.

I learned a bit since my last visit and I think I might be able to get some better shots, which should help ya out with the missed Zam upper body shots you didn’t have a chance to get. ;)

In addition I'm bringing an extra digital camera, which I got my hands on that should make for some excellent high resolution shots.

Thanks Andy-Kun! I think we never determined how the upper chest plate eventually got hooked together from under the hood, so, if you could get some top down shots, and straight on chest plate and veil shots, that would be great, maybe some krinkles in the fabric might reveal some things.. who knows? I really appreciate the pics you gave me before, but like some of mine, they turned out hazy like a we were on a roller coaster. Have fun, which I could meet up with yalls over there, tell Dennis I said hi again and the store owner. I have pics of me in the xwing, but have had no time to load up stuff-cause of my bambino :) I know, I should have pm'ed Andy this message, but hey, anyone else who wants to send me their zam shots, I would be very happy! Oh, and if anyone has the night vision - if you could get the underside pic of her right gaunt, there is a cigar looking thing on the undersidet-- that would be awsome, my digi pic only caught it's shadow. I know- weird angle...

Well, I gotta fly out at 6:45pm so I plan on being at the exhibit probably bout when it opens and maybe doing lunch with folks around 1 or 2pm. And if anyone wants to wear a costume, that is cool- I guess so long as the exhibit allows it. I'll be in a TDH shirt and ummm, I'm a brunette now too :D

Have fun!! Wish I could make it out there again for this. Costumes were fine with FIDM. I think only weapons were frowned upon - that and pointing too closely at the exhibits! :rolleyes

When it comes to lunch - check out The Pantry (within walking distance even in costume) - But be warned each meal is enough to feed the entire Dune Sea Garrison! ;) Okay... I'm exagerrating, but not by much!

Just a heads up, fan day probably won't be the 20th, but they keep changing the day so I honestly can't give an exact date, but it looks like early december. That works for you guys, however, since the exhibit is pretty uncrowded on non-fan days, so you'll have time to eyeball the costumes without a crowd. And of course it'll be easier to find each other, heh.

FYI -Our local FanForce is coordinating some events with FIDM for the next fan day. And we were told by our FIDM liason that it was Dec. 4 and that they are planning some big events. Don't know what exactly, but it's supposed to be unlike any other regular day. Supposed to be a great day for costumes though!

Well, just bought tickets for 11am- that is the time for the first group. There are only about 65 tickets for that time slot so I would recommend buying tickets in advance rather than trying to get them at the door if y'all are wanting to meet up in there. Tickets were $5 each http://starwars.fidm.edu/index.shtm
Does anyone know if there is anywhere to eat inside the exhibit? Otherwise, if you leave, then you would have to buy a ticket to get back inside and well, we plan to probably stay the whole day.

There's a small cafe outside, but I don't know if it would even be open. It wasn't the few times I went. They probably wouldn't let you eat inside the exhibit anyway as it's a small place with limited room, so there isn't anywhere to sit down and chat.

They do have a small cafe with pre-made stuff but the hours are rather irregular. However, since the cafe is "outside" the exhibit, you have to leave the exhibit in any case. To go back in, you need another ticket! So... just plan on buying two tickets! :(

There are a number of other restaurants in the area - the staff at FIDM was very helpful in recommending some. We went to the Pantry which was about 2 blocks away, reasonably priced and each meal is enough for 2! There were a couple others in the area as well.

And FYI - there is also parking in the garage under the FIDM museum. It's not listed on their website, but it's there!

Have fun! (y)

Would it be okay for me to come if I haven't completed my Fett costume yet?


I don't think everyone is dressing up. Fan day I believe is on the 4th at FIDM. That is usually a day where a bunch of fans show up dressed up in proper SW attire. I have an obi-wan costume, but don't think I am going to wear it...hell I am trying to see if I still make this lil' gathering.


Anyone ever eaten at Laweys? MMMMm mmm mmm :)
I've been to the pantry and yes it is a landmark, but in my opinion if you get anything other than breakfast I feel they just served it out of a can. (i.e. the corn)
 
We'll be comming down from the Central Valley. Now to order those tickets for 11'ish. Can't wait to meet everyone!

I can’t believe I’m going to miss this! :facepalm

I just found out yesterday I have conflicting dates with Gencon and an industry guest panel I’m doing Saturday and Sunday.

I’m still planning on going on Fan day for reshoots and meetups but it still isn’t consolation for not being able to attend TDH gathering. I’m saddened and disappointed I’ll be missing out. :cry

Regardless I hope each and everyone of ya have a great time next Sunday! (y)
