NO EXCUSES THIS TIME! WE GOT PLENTY OF TIME TO GET MONEY AND GO TO THIS!!!!! BIGGEST FUN YOU'LL EVER HAVE! MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IN 2007 WE'RE ALL GOING TO LA FOR THE BIGGEST PARTY EVER!!!
To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Gen Con LLC will throw the largest party ever for fans of the saga, taking over the entire Los Angeles Convention Center in May 2007 for five days filled with live entertainment, celebrities from all six movies, special film and video presentations, an exhibit of movie props and costumes, exclusive merchandise sold at a 24-hour-a-day store, pop culture tributes, immersive events, costume contests, and scores of additional activities.
Star Wars Celebration IV will fill the L.A. Convention Center from Thursday, May 24 to Monday, May 28, 2007. Admission to the first day of the event will be for worldwide members of the Official Star Wars Fan Club, many of whom will help plan and run special programming themselves. The convention will be open to the general public from Friday through Monday, Memorial Day.
"Generations of fans have loved Star Wars, many passing along the 'Star Wars gene' to their children," said Steve Sansweet, Director of Content Management and head of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm. "This is the first chance to celebrate all six movies in the saga-George Lucas' complete story-as well as the vibrant future of Star Wars. If you've ever been to one of our Celebrations-or if you haven't been before-this is the one not to miss."
Celebration III, a four-day event held in Indianapolis in April 2005, attracted more than 34,000 fans from all over the world. "We started getting questions about a possible Celebration IV even while the last convention was running," Sansweet noted. "So we're determined to far outstrip anything we've done before, both in size and scope, as well as introduce many first-time activities and lots of exclusives."
Lucasfilm is also working on other Star Wars-related events in the Los Angeles area just prior to Celebration IV, "so we're expecting Southern California to become 'Destination: Star Wars' from the weekend before through Memorial Day weekend," Sansweet said.
The convention announcement was made jointly by Lucasfilm Ltd. and Gen Con LLC. Gen Con will once again manage the convention on behalf of Lucasfilm and the Official Star Wars Fan Club. The Celebration IV announcement is being made a year in advance to give fans worldwide a chance to plan for a week-long "Destination: Star Wars" blow-out in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is the ideal site for a 30th Anniversary convention, Sansweet said, since there are many Star Wars roots in the area. It was also the location of the first official Star Wars fan gathering, the 10th Anniversary Convention. Star Wars opened on May 25, 1977, on just 32 theater screens in North America, including Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.
One of the highlights for fans at a Star Wars convention is the chance to buy unique merchandise, including an exclusive, limited-edition action figure. Because this has led to bottlenecks and long lines in the past, the Celebration IV store will be bigger than ever, self-service, well-stocked with merchandise, have plenty of check-out lanes...and be open 24 hours a day from the opening of the show on Thursday until the close on Monday!
"Gen Con is thrilled to be working again with Lucasfilm on this very special event," said Peter Adkison, owner of Gen Con LLC, producer of Gen Con Indy and other Gen Con events. "Together I know that we will produce a convention that will not only meet, but exceed, fans' expectations. With Lucasfilm 100% behind this show, it's going to be the biggest party in the history of the franchise. We are particularly focused on dramatically improving the selection and service in the Celebration store."
Stay tuned to starwars.com as your primary source for updates about programming, guests, activities, entertainment and exclusive merchandise at Celebration IV to be released as they are confirmed closer to the convention. Online ordering for tickets to the event and for discounted hotel rooms is scheduled to begin late summer/early fall. There will also be information on getting around Los Angeles, traveling to and from the Convention Center, and on shuttle buses available for convention-goers who are staying in the city.

Celebration 3 has been one of the best experiences of my entire life.
After Celebration 3, one of the most difficult things has been returning home. I have just spent four days in Star Wars nirvana mingling with tens of thousands of the most excited Star Wars fans around. At any given moment I could turn around and see a squad of stormtroopers marching down the hall; I could make an obscure Star Wars joke that everyone around me could laugh at; I could go see Nick Gillard, Jake Lloyd, or live theatre performances of Star Wars at any time that I wanted; and most importantly I could turn to anybody in the convention center, in my hotel, or just walking down the street, and we would immediately have a connection.
But now that I'm home, all that is gone.
Celebration 3 was such a departure from "real life." It was a true vacation from reality. For four days, Star Wars was the only thing on my mind, and the minds of 40,000 people surrounding me. Now that I'm home, people are concerned with school, work, finances, and family life. This may sound weird, but I really miss not being able to turn around and just start a conversation about Star Wars with a complete stranger. I miss the atmosphere; I miss the fans; and I miss the tangible excitement. Real life just seems so. . . Boring.
Today I find myself doing nothing but scrolling through my hundreds of pictures that I took at C3, playing with my C3 memoribilia, and reading comments about C3 on the internet.

Its finally here. My Star Wars Celebration 3 badge came in the mail yesterday. Only 15 days more to go. I can't wait. This pass is like the key to heaven. I am having such high expectations. I know I'm going to have a wonderful time. I have a great friends going and my wonderful girlfriend will be by my side. The trip and hotel hasnt been so expensive but the costume is something I will never do for a very very long time.
But anyway, I had a great fun time at Toys R Us last friday. It was so cool to be the first to get the merchandice and funny watching other desperate fans get there toys.
Those people running for SGA office are soo annoying. I hate flyers. I'm not voting. I've only met one nice guy running for office and that was because he spoke to us for a few minutes in class. I wish i could vote online or something just for that guy because I do not want to step into GC. It sucks.
The semester is almost over. I can hardly wait!

Biology II Exam One OWNED
I got an 87% ( with the 12 point curve given by the professor)
Not bad when the class average without the extra points was a 55%! I got to thank Luis Mejias PLTL notes and study sessions with Manny!
Manny I hope you did just as good man! check your webct when you come back from New York
