SciFi Expo..... Here I Come!!!!
I am SOOOO EXCITED!!!!! :D SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

The Dallas SciFi Expo convention is Oct. 20-21 and I'm GOING! For those who may not have heard, this year the event is focusing on Star Wars and they're calling it "Star Wars Fan Days". There will be many familiar Star Wars faces as guests and all focusing on our favorite saga!

My mom is going with me even though she isn't a sci-fi fan by any means, but we always have fun together. :)

To top it off, yesterday I called her and talked to her about the Fan Club Breakfast that is being held on Saturday morning. She said, "That sounds fun. Let's go!" I was thrilled!

So last night I was able to procure tickets to the Breakfast when the ebay auction opened up for the purchase! Yea! :D

I attended the Fan Club Breakfast at CIV and had such a good time. Interacting with folks at that event was just fun!

This breakfast will have Jeremy Bulloch as the guest giving attendees free autographs and Steve Sansweet will be there as well!! Maybe I'll actually get to meet him this time! ;)

I'd love to know if anyone else is going to this event! It would be fun to meet up!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!!!! :x

Actually, I'm paying $50 for it as that's how much it costs to get into the breakfast!

At least that's cheaper than the one at CIV ;)

Sounds like a blast. They never have stuff like this on the right coast :p

Well, okay, the SW science exhibit did kick off in Boston, but that was an oddity.

Wish I could drop everything and meet up with you and mom! One of these days, at least hopefully at C5!:x

My mom is going with me even though she isn't a sci-fi fan by any means, but we always have fun together.

So many understanding mothers in the GFFA... think she'd go with you to a Star Trek convention too?

Ask him if I can have my $20 back.

Hm, did somebody get tricked into buying the "Boba Fett figure that shoots projectiles out of the back but actually doesn't" scam?

Oh My Gosh . . . I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (is that enough Os? :)) EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!

I so wish I was going with you. It would be so much fun to hang out with you, and it would give me another chance to show off my oh-so-cool shoes in your presence!!!

If I said I was green like Yoda, would that be okay? I don't often feel envious, but I will in this case. ;)


Have an awesome time, hg!!! I'll be there - in spirit - with you!
