Sakuracon This weekend anybody want to go Sunday???
« on: April 06, 2009, 06:20:56 PM »
I had so much freaking fun at Emerald City Comic Con that I am going to Sakuracon on Sunday.
I don't have a japanese Animation themed costume, so Stormshadow it is. Hey its Anime right?

If anybody wants to come, I got space for you in my car. I am leaving EARLY Sunday morning,
and if you want I can come get you Saturday night.  I will be coming back Sunday night.

Costs for sunday are 30 Dollars for the con,
and if you chip in a few dollars for gas/parking that would be appreciated.

Lets do it......

So it looks like Sakuracon and Norwescon are on the same weekend....

Yeah that is very unfortunate.
I had a decision to make and I don't know if I can go to a con where the guest of honor is the man
who killed Chewbacca. LOL.......

What? You mean Yuuzhan Vong will be in the house? Say it aint so!

I wouldn't mind meeting Salvatore. I think he is a phenomenal writer. I just won't be hitting any more cons here in the very near future. This one tapped me out, and I didn't spend any money other than what it took to get there and back!

I will be there. Though I'm going up on Thursday so I will be there the whole weekend.

I'll be wearing this on Sunday, though: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/Trumby/References/Firo/snapshot20090202202103.jpg

So, I guess that means that neither of you willever want to meet the Maker, himself, George Lucas, huh? After all, he is the one who said that Chewie had to die. He was intimately involved in the overall story arc of this series.

Honestly it would depend on the situation. If he and I were at the same con I wouldn't even bother to get in his line.
Assuming his line would be a mile long I am not so star struck by the man that I'd wait an hour to get to talk to him
for 30 seconds, let alone pay god knows what to have an autograph.

Though if I had a chance to attend a 501st group dinner, something small like that, that he would be at I'd probably go.

I try every day to pray for you.  I would LOVE to meet George Lucas.  I would be honored.  Of course out of respect I wouldn't bring up my issues Episode I-III or Indiana 4.  I would just be thankful to meet him.  Thanks for everything Mr. Lucas!

I'll be either wearing the one posted before or this on Friday. TS will be worn on Saturday.

Excellent, hope I find some then!

Nope, they don't have to be anime at all. There's a lot of people who do video game characters, movie characters, comic book characters. All sorts of different things.
