BabelCon 07/17/09, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
« on: July 14, 2009, 08:05:16 AM »
We are making final preparations for our trip to BabelCon. We will be arriving Friday Afternoon/Evening. We have a table in the Merchant's Room and should be situated by Saturday Morning.

I'm curious as to who all from FX-Sabers will be attending and if you all would like to get together either Friday or Saturday Night somewhere around the vicinity of the convention, maybe grabbing a nice meal somewhere, ...

I'm honestly not sure what to expect, this is a small convention, but we plan on enjoying ourselves nonetheless, so, who all have plans to show up?

Confirmed attendees are:

MasterJedye
Dagobah Jedi
Barris Offee
Chewbacca
Morris@rt

I didn't follow this at ALL, but interestingly enough my wife and kids and I are flying into Baton Rouge friday afternoon and renting a car to drive up to Natchez, Miss to visit some relatives.  Where is this thing going on at?  maybe I'll see if I can talk the wife into hanging around friday evening and meeting anybody there, or possibly letting me escape saturday and come visit :-)

Thanks Chewie, nice helpful map there too!  I'll let you all know later in the week if we'll (or I will) be able to make it!

We're gonna PAR-TAY!!!!!

I hope to see everyone that will be down there!  Gil, hopefully we'll see you, that would be awesome to have someone serendipitiously show up!

Even if the con itself is little (the vendor tables close at 6pm!) we're gonna have fun no matter what!

I'm so looking forward to this!

This all starts tomorrow! Hoping to be there and registered in our rooms by late afternoon!

Tomorrow night is Private screening of the new Harry Potter movie for BabelCon guests, ...hopefully we can hit that.

LOL.... A Rancor could fit inside that case. ;)

Seriously guys, I wish I could have been there too, but I'm saving my money for my Hong Kong trip. There's always next year!

I'll be there with you in spirit, have a great time and take lots of pics!

It was a lot of fun.

Got home about an hour ago and it was awesome getting to meet more local saber enthusiasts.  CHEWBACCA and Master Jedye are a riot.  BARRISS is an endless source of fun ;)   morrisart85 was good to meet you and wish you coulda chilled with us more.

Can't wait for the incriminating pics and vids.

May The Force FX Be With You!

Dangit I could have sworn I posted early friday on this thread!   >:(

Relatives had a nice schedule of activities and fooding for us which didn't allow time to stop by, though I would have loved too!  Hope fun was had all around.
