Over at the Jedi Assembly, someone (thinking it was Schph Gochi) has an Artoo-Detoo-sized-and-shaped cooler. If you put a dollar a day into that thing each day for three years (we had three years back then...IMHO they waited WAAAY too long to announce C4...give us a year and a half...don't give us the location that early! Just tell us it's happening!) you'd end up with over a thousand dollars. Now, though, maybe try three dollars a day, but if you don't have Artoo, use a Rubbermaid trash can or something.

OMG! That first link was awesome! Who wrote that? It revealed so well what we all realized just hadn't verbalized in such depth! A couple things I had not thought of... very cool, very cool... save that to my favorites I will and will also be printing it out for my scrapbook!

Nice tips, Miss Padme! Michelle1968 and I are going with a couple of other girls, so that will cut down some, but still costs are high! Every penny counts, right Michelle?

This is true! I'm going to start putting all my loose change in my Darth Vader piggy bank.

All right Michelle! I used to have an Obi-Wan piggy bank, but I gave it to my oldest daughter when she became a SW fan!

Ladies, pennies should not be a problem, since we discussed that I would pick up the tab for the room...So save your pennies for crude and other things and just think about having a good time!!

Now, think I will go and look for a hotel room, closer to the convention center, since it seems that hotels are now opening their rooms up.

Thanks for the post Ms. Padme.

Michelle1968, I wrote that piece, just under a different name .

No way! I'm so impressed with it and you!

Thank ye .
