DAY 3: LAST DAY
FOR BOBA BINKS
Well
today I woke up and made the trip back over to Gen Con Indy 2006.
When I got there my friends were not yet there so I walked around
taking in the things that I might have missed or ignored from the
previous two days.
I brought my Mara Jade mini bust back to the convention to have
Shannon sign it. After I saw here sign my friend Wade’s the day
before I thought that was really cool so I had to copy the action.
Well I walked around since Shannon would not be around until the
afternoon. After about an hour I ran into my friend Mike. So I
walked around with him and I got in line with him to meet some
people. We first met and talked with Gigi from Farscape (Chi or
Chianna). Mike brought his work in progress of Rigal or “Sparky.”
Gigi liked it very much and took some pictures with it. She said the
likeness was far better than she has seen before. So after an
autograph and some talking Mike and I walked around.
 Our
friend Scott showed up so we met up with him and walked around for a
bit. He wanted to meet William Katt (The Greatest American Hero). So
as we met him we found out he was doing autographs for free while
promoting an independent movie he was in called “Gamers”. William
Kat was a really nice guy and he chatted with us for a bit. He told
us other people involved with the film were at the con and we should
go say hello to them. By the time we were finished there Wade showed
up. So we walked around together for a bit and found the other
people involved with the “Gamers” film. We met them and they were
all really nice people. Amongst them was Michael Bell. He is know
for his many cartoon voices such as Major Blood or Duke from GI Joe,
Plastic Man, Wonder Twins, to Grumpy Smurf and many others
throughout the past twenty or more years. We got a free autograph
from him as well.
By this time we were getting hungry so some of us went off and got a
bite to eat at McDonalds. There we met up with Liz one of Mike’s
friends. So she hung out with us for a while as well.
During the day we broke off to do our own little things. I got my
Mara Jade bust signed by Shannon, picked up the 100th Special
Edition of the Silver Colored Boba Fett Bust-Up from Gentle Giants,
got some more pictures, and wondered around. I ran into my friend
Mary Franklin form Lucas Film and said hello and got my convention
hug from her. She was there for a few hours at a booth that had been
empty all weekend that had a banner saying “Star Wars Celebration
IV.” She talked to the people and answered questions that they might
have had. I did learn at Celebration IV for those who volunteer in
armor there would be a special room set-aside for you to change in
and leave your belongings in while you troop around and do what you
need to do.
Now some people know I am an animal lover. At conventions there are
dealers who sell animal / foxtails and ears for people to wear. I
think that the tails are very sexy on certain people. As I was
talking with a nice young lady who is involved with prosthetics I
noticed the auburn foxtail she was wearing and told her how I liked
it. As we talked she asked me to follow her. So I did. She took me
to a booth where some of her friends were and they attached an all
black fox tail to my belt and spanked me and said that I was now
part of their foxtail group and said I have to wear it to
conventions for now on. I wore my foxtail all day with a smile on my
face. So now I will have to wear it at DragonCon 2006.
After that I met up with Mike, Liz, Scott. And Wade. We walked
around a bit until 6pm in which the exhibition hall closed. We took
out belongings to our cars and met up in front of the convention
center. Wade had to take off. So the rest of us walked down to the
RAM and met up with the 501st group.
At the RAM members from the 501st all talked and met each other,
etc. Some had drinks some ordered food, it was just a big get
together. All in all it was fun and I had a decent time. I was just
tired from the weekend with all the walking around so I left around
9pm. I said my goodbyes.
Gen Con is now over for me. The convention is open again on Sunday
until 6pm but I will not be making there. Until next year have fun,
play your games, and be kind to each other.
