I did , but did not stand in line thanks to a freak for Mark Hamill :monkey3

I remember that. Maybe you can return the favor at CVI. :D

Mark was one crazy line and pretty much chewed up half of my day, but we did have prime seats, and you did get to dance with a pretty amazing looking woman.

After failing at Lucas last year, and waiting all day for Mark, I think I have been pushed to the dark side and am considering upgrading to at least Jedi Knight for CVI. I want to be able to slide into the front rows of whatever I want to at the last minute.

Remember pussface? :lol

A little reminder, we saw them in line for Avfin's "what's his name" Crumb prints, and every other time I saw that couple they looked miserable. I mean, jeesh, I guess they had a right to complain, but if I was holding this at CV, I think I would have remained fairly happy...

Why were they miserable?
 
Some more of my memories from CV, just because:


Freaks Party!


First Day...


I'm a happy SW fan. Look at my poodo eating grin, as mom would say.


Filonious Monk...


Not bad seats, eh, Avfin?


One thing I was definitely after.
Still have to get this framed though...



Last day, and man was I blue. Sunday always sucks.


Strange party that night.
But still, my best convention experience to date!
 
Why were they miserable?

You know, I think there were a few instances where they felt cheated out of what was promised to them holding the Master badge. I think there were only 50 of these. They may have been sharing it, but a few meet and greets did not happen, and there were other things. Some of which can always be chalked up to the hired event staff not being aware of differences in the badges. Hopefully all of that will be cleared up for the next event, CVI.

Still, all of the staff I encountered were very helpful and understanding of our pain waiting and such. I even complimented the one girl running the lines outside of the theater. People were always being gruff with her, but I let her know she was doing a great job with what she had to deal with. Those lines are difficult.

Using the same location and Reed again will likely only help the next convention. I only hope I stand a chance at scoring one of the coveted Knight badges. But I have a feeling many will be in the same camp as me, and they will go in a flash.

Doesn't matter to me, I'm going to have the most amazing CVI possible, no matter what! :D
 
I'm going to try to update my first post with attendees now, but if I miss anybody, please just PM me or let me know otherwise.

The meet and greet thing would get to me, as that's mainly why I would purchase such a pass.

Like you said, logistically they have their feet wet, so things should run smoother this time around. But of course, you're probably not using the same staff of volunteers now either, so who knows.

I'm anxious to see the auto list. I would love to add to my small pile of 1...lol.
 
You should do a count down to, if its not to much trouble.

How does one do a countdown? I'm mentally counting the days in my head. :lol


Also, I'm seriously considering giving this an outing at CVI:

We have a long wait for that, but I will say that the premier badges would most certainly come in handy for autographs as badge holders can cut the line whenever they like. Another three hours lost waiting for Carrie and Mark's autographs. But still a lot of fun, not matter how you cut it.

I waited with Boushh for Carrie, and she was such a delightful person. Then when I let her go ahead of me right before we entered the closed off portion for the autographs, the line was cut, as Carrie had to go off and do a photo op. Boushh pleaded my case and the guys running the room let me in as the last before the break. Thank the maker, I did not want to wait another hour or so for the photo session to take place after being there almost an hour and a half already!

Yep, Celebration, good times indeed. :rotfl

Note to self - buy a VIP pass of some type. :lol
 
Dammit, now the cat's out of the bag.

Note to gibby - they are quite expensive. Dont' quote me, but I think Master was $350, but that could have been Knight.

Yeah, I remember when you and avfin were trying to get me to come down. I was like "I'll get a VIP pass - how bad can it be?!?!". :horror:lol

I didn't go last time, so this time I'll spend the coin and make sure I'm not waiting 3hrs for an autograph. I'll need that time to be in line for the prints or drinking at the bar with Harrison Ford! :lol
 
Would you say the Rosen Plaza is a decent alternative to the Centre, since the centre is sold out?

I don't know much about it, but it is across the street from OCCC. It's just on the side of the OCCC that wasn't used for CV last year. That said, it wouldn't be much of a walk.
 
Love reading these posts--
Furystorm---I remember Pussface and the great times :hi5:
Darth Waller--Learn your movie lines:slap
Lopie--Great time at party :thud:
Shropt---I remember that One man show :pfft:
Gibby--You are going to have a blast :yess:
 
I hated waiting in line for hours only to watch people with the VIP passes cut in front of me. How much are those tickets? I may have get one of those this time around.
 
Can VIP tix be purchased online? Definitely interested in this. HATE waiting in long lines.
