They've also posted a list of the closest hotels, should anybody want to get a room.

Still no info on panels or costume contests or Trivia Competitions... hopefully soon! My Slave Leia costume takes a WEEK to put together!

I did the exact same thing. I stood up and said, "HOLY SHIT! I GET TO SEE CHEWIE!"

And I'm sure I'll be the first person ever to go, "Chewie, is that you?"

I have always imagined that he would smell of menthol cigarrettes and cheap bourbon. Now I can put my theory to the test!

I just signed up for that community. I didn't know about it. :D I really hope you do the Buck Godot costume. That would rock!

I've been relatively "eh" about the artist list so far (save for Steve Rolston), but DAVID MACK. I think I may have actually just peed myself a little.

Yeah when is that.....I mean come one I've gotta go. Remember you also gotta help me with a costume if there is a costume contest. Think the Buffy/Farscape booth'll be there again?

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

I'm sure the Buffy/Farscape booth will be there again this year... they've got a couple of Farscape guests coming again!

No idea what to do for your costume, though... all the super-heroines and villains I can think of are BLONDE! But I'm working on it... I'll try to post some pictures for you later tonight
