Celebration VI Roll call

[Bothan]

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it. Unexpectedly deployed overseas at the start of the month on pretty short notice. My two daughters are more disappointed than I am; they wanted to meet Princess Leia and Asohka/Ashley Eckstein. I've got my fingers crossed that I should be home by Halloween. At least my girls can wear their costumes then (Barris Ofee and White jumpsuit Padme, both are the Clone Wars animated versions).

 

[Bothan]

Any chance someone could pickup a set of the Han Solo (men's size Large) and Princess Leia (women's size Medium) CVI exclusive tee shirts for me? If so, please PM me and I can workout payment via PayPal.

That stinks...I have 70 days left in korea, sucks I have to miss CVI I know how you feel man.

 

[Bothan]

Yeah...no worries. I'm really only bummed for my girls after so many deployments. Now, at least there is no deadline to get my ESB Fett 501st approved after I get home. Keep your head down F4R and we'll link up at CVII.

Hi guys I'm already in Orlando (Staying at my parent's place). I hope to meet my fellow TDH members. I can't wait til this thursday!

 

[Scott Kaufmann]

I'm sorry to hear that Bothan. I may be able to help you out in regards to the shirts.

Also, so everyone is aware. I am thinking that we should have the TDH group picture taken on Sunday. Haven't decided on a time just yet however, probably around noon or 1 perhaps.

For someone who has never been to a convention before, anybody have tips on what to keep in mind? I feel like I might get overwhelmed by everything that's going on that I miss something that's a must-see. The only must things on my list is to try to get Mark Hamill and Bulloch/Logan's autographs and perhaps a pic but I'm not trying to miss anything cool going on.

It's an absolute blast! I found the layout to be really confusing last time (and it looks like this year's is exactly the same). The first thing I would do is get a map and get a feel for the way the thing is laid out.

The merchandise and autograph areas are on the first floor; The 501st and R2 builders are on the second floor; most of the panels are on the third floor; and the large theater is on the fourth.

Last time, we didn't discover everything on the third floor (the panels,etc.) until 2/3 of the day was over. The third floor activities take up the entire floor but the activities are all in different rooms so from the escalator it doesn't look like there's anything going on up there – especially if you go up the secondary escalators as I guess we did. The signage complete sucked (to say the least) at the last convention and you're very much on your own to know where everything is.

The SWCVI iPhone app is pretty good btw and has maps, schedules, etc. You can even create an itinerary based on the events schedule.

Glad I could help. I'm surprised you could even read it with all of the type-o's!!!

I look forward to seeing you there!

One other thing, the convention is not in the large new convention center, it's in the older original one across the street. They'll have you park at the new one, but you'll take a bus to the convention across the street.

Rozen Plaza. Comfy enough. Staying a few days extra then heading to Atlanta.

[redkraytdragon]

Had a great time talking with the few of you that I was able to meet (and had time to) and I apologize for not being able to spend more time at the dinner. I had a great time and hope to do so again in the near future. I hope to meet many more of you!
