I have to say the Star Wars convention was a ton of work but also a lot of fun. L.A. is a strange place but I did enjoy my time there.
I got to meet up with some old friends and make some new ones and met people from all over the world. It's neat how a common interest can unite people from different parts.
Carrie Fisher was there - she's was very pleasant and is looking very well these days. I also got to meet Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) Kenny Baker (R2-D2), and Ray Park (DArth Maul) amongst others. The mayor of Los Angeles was at the opening ceremonies to declare Star Wars day in Los Angeles.
I picked up some neat souvenirs including a Chewbacca bomber jacket - wait until my-coworkers see that one!
There was a great exhibit of Darth Vader helmets that had been painted by several different artists - the talent of these people was amazing.
There were a lot of people great costumes as well along with the ever famous 501st Stormtroopers who are always in attendance at these shows.
I had a great time but I'm glad to be back home in my own bed.
Hope all is well with all of you - goodnight!
