I need a short paragraph on how you discovered SW for http://www.sagajournal.com, 250 words or less. You can either e-mail it to me at lazypadawan@hotmail.com or go right over to the SagaJournal website and submit it there. Need it done no later than tomorrow! Thanks!

I'm still working on Sunday, Monday, Conclusion/Epilogue reports for Celebration IV. Plus a pic spam! Stay tuned!

But in the meantime, go check out this month's SagaJournal. a_p just posted a fantastic essay about the mythical meaning of twins and there's a review by matril of The Making of Star Wars. Plus a new "Discovering SW" story!

While poking around the CIV board at TFN, I read about some famous non-SW folks who were spotting poking around the convention. I mentioned a couple of days ago that Jane Wiedlin was there. Folks also saw "Veronica Mars"/"Fanboys" star Kristen Bell in the Exhibit Hall after the "Fanboys" preview, "Napoleon Dynamite" star Jon Heder, and your pal 'n mine, Corey Feldman. There's a hilarious story about Feldman trying to butt in line to get David Prowse's autograph only to get told off by Prowse himself. Heh heh.

starwars.com posted a bunch of pictures in its Bantha Tracks online supplement (accessible only to Hyperspace members) and noted that an early count of attendance at CIV shows it will exceed attendance at CIII. So much for the gripers and sour grapers at TFN who are trying to claim attendance was lower because "nobody" could travel to Los Angeles. This is in the midst of a really stupid thread on why the next con ought to be in Indianapolis because we can't load 15 people in a car and split gas down to $5 a person if it's in Los Angeles. These guys don't realize that no matter where you hold a convention, it's going to be close and convenient for a lot of people, and far away for a lot of others. Granted, some locations are better than others...there ought to be a federal law that no future Celebration ever be held in Denver again. But does anyone suggest that Dragoncon leave Atlanta so it can be closer to fans in Seattle? Or that Comic Con leave San Diego for St. Louis so that it's more convenient for the residents of Mexico, Missouri? I missed two Celebrations because I didn't have the money to go. But I'm not agitating that the next one be here in my town. I'm not sure I'd want it here anyway because then everybody I know would want to bunk in my house for free ;).

Heck, my ideal location for a Celebration is Las Vegas. That way we can all crash the Star Trek Experience!
