While at Celebration III

[Jedi Rohn Starr]

As a member living in central Indiana, I was wondering what else those that are able to attend might be interested in doing?

I'm just offering my suggestions on other things to do. Just ask and I'll try to give a good suggestion. I'll try to gear everything towards the downtown area so you don't have to travel far from the convention center.

[Blizzard]

I won't be doing anything outside the Convention Center, I plan to be there open to close. Other than going out with Senators one or two nights.

[Greedo Boy]

I'm going to beat everybody at chess! Twice! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/saber.gif

[Siri Ruane]

When not at the Center, which won't be that long I'm thinking, I'll probably be hanging out the hotel. My grandma's driving 8 hours out of her way and paying for the majority of the whole trip, and isn't big on Star Wars in the first place, so I'm not gonna complain when she just wants to chill out at the room. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

They have bars in Indiana, right?

Yep. There are several right near the Convention Center.

Actually, it's up. And don't try it during rush hour, it'll take forever.

[Sam Kenobi]

I believe it was called Jillian's. I'll go google it.

[Sam Kenobi]

Hmm. I am puzzled, somewhat. I have been to this place. It was great. It's a Dave & Busters sorta place, arcade, bar, restaurant, bowling alley, etc. For parties. Could easily hold a few people from the G.S., and it's not far from the convention center (well, I walked from the RCA Dome, at least. What puzzles me is that the location does not show up on their main site. Anywho, I think that something like that would be a great place to hang out, and would help set it up, even if I don't go. Any thoughts?

Jillian's (http://www.jillians.com/)

[Luvinna]

That would be a good idea. But they don't even list a restaurant in Indy. Maybe it closed, or changed names...? How long ago were you there, Sam?

[Jedi Rohn Starr]

First off, sorry about taking so long in replying about this.

The zoo is west of the convention center. It's been a while since I've been there, but I think that you just follow Washington Street west.

[Tovor]

If anyone has cell phones we should keep them on at the convention to keep in touch from different parts if we don't all stay together. I included me in "we" in case I go, you know. So if I do go, I have to get a new cell phone because the one I have is Metro PCS which I pay monthly a flat rate and have free long distance actross the country, but the phone itself has to stay within Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties to work. So if I make it to C3 I'll need to get a new phone, to have when in town up there, and to keep in touch with other buds there.

No one said you have to have lap dances. I honestly don't know what clubs might be downtown now. The only one I remember is the Red Garter Lounge. But it moved somewhere else and I don't know if it's still open. Most of the better ones are on the outskirts of the city limits.

[Tovor]

Hey Dobi... check the legend in the lower left corner of the map pic I posted... it has Kilometers and Miles

[Luvinna]

1 mile = 1.609 kilometers, so 7 miles = 11.263 kilometers

Yeah.. That ain't so bad at all...
Do you think the price was high?
It's cheap comparing to Norwegian prices.. A decent hotelroom in Norway costs from about 100 up to 200 $ per night... Someplaces more...

[Luvinna]

I'd say that's a little pricey for a single room, but it is the La Quinta, and they've got a good reputation. Also, you're probably getting to the point where hotel rooms near Indy are in high demand, so we might start to see some price gouging. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

If someone needs a room, maybe we can find a way to do some room....

It was actually the same price for a double room, so if I change my order and put in a bed or so it's actually the same price.. That's what they said at the booking site of theirs...

More Autograph Stars in the Celebration Sky!
February 24, 2005

The list of autograph stars coming to Star Wars Celebration III April 21 - 24, 2005 continues to grow, with more stars to be announced soon. Come meet the actors behind your favorite characters in the Autograph Hall, brought to the show by Official Pix, the Star Wars autograph provider for Celebration III.

So this time we get an "Autograph Hall" eh?! Instead of the cramped little section of the main hall like last time... Interesting... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue2.gif

Not likely unless you plan on being at the con center by 7 a.m. at the latest.

Your best bet to get to the con center is to take I-70 eastbound to West Street. Head north on West Street until you see the RCA Dome and park in the lot just to the south of that. The cross street is South Street. You'll walk past Victory Field, a minor league baseball stadium on the other side of West Stree.
You can then walk from the parking lot, along West Street, to the entrance on the north side of the convention center. Last time, the line wound around the block in that direction.

I suggest that you dress for the weather. It can be quite cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoons. Morning lows can be in the 30's F with some highs getting into the 70's F. And it's been known to rain in Indianapolis in April.

For those of you that might be interested, there is an Indianapolis Indians baseball game scheduled for three of the four days of C3. It would be interesting to see a lot of SW characters in the stadium for at least one of the games.

[Luvinna]

That would be something I'd enjoy. How much are tickets and how likely are the games to sell out?

[Blizzard]

I won't be doing anything but Star Wars 24/7 (or 24/4 as the case may be).

When I went to Dragon*Con a friend who was supposed to come hang out with us went to a Braves game instead. It was not good. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[Tovor]

Agree with you Blizz. If I fly all the way to Indiana for a SW convention the last thing I would do is something non SW, aside from hanging out with GS buds.


Check it peeps: Yesterday I get a spam call on my cell phone for a travel club called Agents Travel Network. Normally I would have ended the call right off the bat but she talked about air fare vouchers and free hotel rooms for 3 days, 2 nights. So I said, I may be going to Indiana in April, can this be used? And she said yes, yada yada yada, but she couldn't answer my intense questions so her suporvisor got on and tried to talk to me. He said join the club for 40 dollars and 19.99 a month, and get up to 400 in airfare vouchers, and the 3/2 in lodging. But I had to give them my bank account number. I said there was no way I was going to give my bank account number to someone over the phone with no guarantees to who that person and company was. he went on and on about how those numbers could not be used without my authorization to steal money from my account, ect, that there was no way for anybody to do so, ect. I said, whatever, there is no way, no how, I will ever give out my account number over the phone. Mail me this information and tell me your website addy and I'll check into the legality and integrity of your company. So he gives me the addy and I checked it out last night. Today, as I gave them permission to do, I got a call back from another agent to sign me up. I told him that their website was the shoddiest, sloppiest, most poorly laid out and scripted website I had ever seen, and that the site alone was enough for me to distrust that company. He apologized for the site and said he'd mention it to his manager, and told me that they cannot mail me any company/program literature unless they can check out my bank account first to make sure I have the funds to pay them, and not screw them over. I said, What are you, f***ing kidding me? I don't know who the bigger idiot is, the idiot you assumed I'd be, or the one I perceive in you?

Plus, as I theorized last night, and it was confirmed by him, the 400 in airline vouchers does not mean that it's up to 400 for round trip tickets, but instead a set amount alloted for each trip over a year's time. But I'm only going to use them once, I haven't been on an airplane in 33 years and I don't have any plans to again aside from the possibility of flying to Indiana in April. I said, forget it. Plus, you don't get the vouchers in advance, you have to lay out the money and then submit claims to get reimbursed.....after you've already paid the membership fee and the 20 a month. Hey, can I get a bridge for that price too? I've always wanted to buy one. If the deal was legit, it's not worth it for me, and based on your website, and your insistance that I tell you my bank account number, I don't trust the scheme. See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

For laugh, here is the site address. Click the links to get the info about the program, which no surprise there isn't much info at all, and most of the text is so poorly laid out that it is set outside the box area which it was obviously intended to go into, and in many places larger sections of text overlap other sections, making it difficult to impossible to read. Scam, scam, scam, scam. www.agentstravel.net (http://www.agentstravel.net)
In all my years on the net, I've seen that the www. of a web address is a waste of typing, because I have never, ever had to type in www. before any web addy and I always got connected with no problem. With that one, you must put in the www. Wierd.

The Celebration party Saturdays night says you have to wear a contume, which I am not. There weren't a whole lot of costumes at C2, not compared to the amount of people that were there.

I'm not going in costume myself because I don't have the space in my luggage. I'm flying to Indy and I dont want to bring an extra baggage for a costume and accessories.
Quoted post

I'm not wearing a costume, either. I guess I could wear my padme costume from TPM, but I'm planning on cutting my hair this weekend which would ruin the illusion. I don't have my Jedi costume made yet and probably won't have time before C3.

I weighed myself yesterday and I thought it was a fluke, but I weighed myself again a little while ago, and I'm down to 211.5. In September I was 227. Hot diggity dang doo-dah! I'm doing situps and crunches tonight! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happydance.gif

I'm not going to the Saturday night party so we'll need something to do. Who else isn't going? Might hook up at a resturant/bar, perhaps?

[Luvinna]

There's still going to be other stuff going on. This for example: Star Wars Saga films at CIII (http://starwars.com/community/news/2005/02/news20050222.html).

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happydance.gif Well done sweetie! That calls for a hug overload at C3 I think!

I want some tongue from all the female GSers J/K... well not really (kidding)


Well you can get a kiss if you really want it...But I'm keeping my tongue to myself though young man! Disgraceful! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

Is there going to be any sort of GS meet up at CIII? I know I'm not part of the community, really, (YET) but I was just curious.

$5! Are you kidding! What theater do you go to that's only $5. Because it's probably worth the mileage to drive down (or up) there.

Don't know. We just had a package try to be delivered by UPS yesterday and that was the only thing I could think of that it might have been. Turns out, it's a package from Walmart.com for my room mate who's gone home for the week. I'm trying to figure out if she forgot she ordered it, or just forgot to tell me it was coming.

Well, Justin, Leia, and I are splitting it... the total is $2000+ for us too... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif

[flo fett]

On a happy note though, I got my time off confirmed at work so I'll still have a job when I get back! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[Obidobi]

The travel and hotel has already cost me about 1500$! Then again I need the badge.. The trip from the hotel to the con center and back again... Food..? Do I need that? Maybe not, but something to drink is necessary.... Then there is a souvenir or too...! I guess what I really want is very expensive.... So...2000$+++ is not to far from me either....

[Horse_Head]

My vacation days have been officially OK'd my flight and hotel are booked and badge should be coming in the mail soon! And my buddy has made it clear to his employer that he will be away for the Celebration... we made the last two, no sense in missing this one style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Let's see... so far for the both of us... airfare for 2 round trip = $403 ... hotel for 5 nights (double occupancy) = $335 +tax ... 2 4-day badges = $190 ... 2 tickets to Celebration at C3 = $30 ... plus taxi to and from airport, food, food, food, drink, drink, drink, as many exclusive figures as we can purchase and carry = $??? ... and I'm sure there will be much, much more style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[leiaorgana]

My friend and i , we'd spent $ 1600 so far, including hotel, flights, car, and badges, we need to add food, drinks, and many many souvenirs (which I expect to pay with my credit card... I hope...) so I'll be around $ 2000 as well, but it's not that much considering we need to split that in 2.... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ok.gif
Anyway it's a lot of money, but it could have been worst so i'm happy... and getting so excited C3 is sooo near!!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happydance.gif yeayyyy

[Greedo Boy]

I'm a'gonna carouse the ladies... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue1.gif

[Brian]

My trip costed me ~$1000 total for my wife and I. That isn't counting food and souvenirs.

Man, I hope this trip is worth it. I'm going to be paying for it into the next century!

[Sam Kenobi]

When I went to Comic-Con, I spent around $700 on Star Wars merchandise alone! I can't imagine how much I'm gonna spend here.

[flo fett]

Heh, I'll have no money to buy anything at this rate. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[Blizzard]

Badge: $97
Hotel: $220 (I think)
Plane tickets: $225
Meeting you guys: PRICELESS

Total so far: $542, which leaves me a budget of $500+ for food and toys. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif I didn't spend that much last time, probably won't this time unless they have a ton of new toys.

Back in September I requested personal leave for the days off, so I get paid to go to C3.

[BobPalpatine]

I'm getting paid 45 hours worth of work the week of CIII for having fun! Yay for everyone getting paid!

So far I've spent $110 on my badge (I really though I had to the end of the month to do the mail in, stupid me). I'll be paying about $150 for the hotel. Driving there will be about a tank of gas so with gass prices right now about $30 or $35. So I have a lot of extra money to buy things while I am there.

Something cool is if my friend doesn't drop out on me. We will be taking his car. He has a 7" in dash (flip-out actually) LCD screen with DVD player. He also has the audio hooked up in Dolby Digital. So I get to watch movies on the way there.

[Obidobi]

I get paid too, since I am off period... But I miss a weekend in the taxi though...

[flo fett]

But you get a weekend with us...which may possibly be a similar experience but without the money (drunk people, fights etc) style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif
