This guy was really nice. Of course, we took his picture quite early in the day, probably before the cosplayers could get sick of people taking photos.
Through the miracle of WiFi, we are blogging to you from the Omni Severin hotel, just three blocks from Star Wars Celebration 3. We travelled from Seattle yesterday. It was not a happy flight. United no longer serves food, so we ate nothing but Lavaberry Pop Tarts all day. Plus, we hit a couple of air pockets on the leg from Seattle to Chicago. We hates air pockets.
Mr. Tikistitch greeted us with his new acquisition.

Eeee! It's a SCARY CHEWBACCA DOLL. Put it away, put it away!!
We stopped for brunch on the way to the con. We pleaded with Mr. Tikistitch to buy us something that WASN'T Lavaberry Pop Tarts.

Here's the breakfast crew: Martin, Duncan, Philip (the crazy Frenchman), Anne, Mr. Tikistitch. We're not pictured. Do you think we're crazy?

We finished up, and started for Celebration. These are some real cool, real chubby statues they have outside a bank near the con. Wow! The line went on forever!!

Look both ways before you cross Boba!!

Here's another bounty hunter wannabe.
We started in the room where all the regional Star Wars clubs had their booths.

The Ohio club has fezes!!

We whined a lot, but they wouldn't give us one.
This is the booth for the 501st, the guys who dress like stormtroopers.

Check out the targets!! Heh.

Then ron & chris came by. Duncan was like, "OMG OMG, where did U get those bags????" So, we headed next to the dealer room....
This is getting kinda long, so we'll post more later.
