Star Wars C3: Day 0

Thursday, April 21st, 2005


Star Wars Celebration III (C3) starts Thursday, but I arrived in Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon. After getting settled at the hotel, I headed over to the convention center to pick up the schedule. A few fans were already in costume.

I had dinner with some old AOL Star Wars Fan Club (AOLSWFC) friends.

Charyl (Hooks) and Mark (A BoyScout) met online at my AOLSWFC trivia game 11 years ago. They married in 2001 and had their son Alexander 16 months ago. They claim he wasn’t named after me.
