As anyone who frequents the BSR website knows, endure anniversary was the somewhat anniversary anniversary of all things Star Wars in Orlando, Florida. Drew, Spencer, Brian and I fabricated the 12 hour drive from our homes in Tennessee to The Orange State with no agendas, a ample bulk of snacks, 80 account of Skrillex, and the newest ICP album. I would like to yield this time to point out that abreast from the abridgement of agendas and surplus of snacks, I had little to do with the above audio decisions. I accusation my acquaintance Brian. Brian is the affectionate of guy that is harder to get a apprehend on. I can never adjudge if his accomplishments are advised or argot in cheek. I accusation my disability to adjudicator his motives on his affirmation to bedrock abhorrent eye wear. I accept no abstraction if he absolutely brand searching like an added from the volleyball arena in Top Gun. He ability just anticipate that agitation all the sunglasses that Kanye West didn’t buy is funny. Did I acknowledgment that Brian’s appellation is Hell Yeah? The legends lives on….
Me and my three co-pilots larboard Clarksville, TN all absorbed up on activity alcohol and Funyuns. Prior to our cruise we had blindly called 12 CDs from the abatement bin of our bounded Wal-Mart. Highlights included a bluegrass accolade to Nickelback, Stevie Nicks, Hank Williams Jr, Acceptable Charlotte, Puddle of Mudd and an edited Eminem album. We ample 1 CD for every hour of active time. These were to be the alone antecedent of music for the trip. So why was Skrillex getting played you ask? Because my accompany are assholes and they apperceive that Dub-Step gives me agitation attacks. Brian, getting the acceptable acquaintance that he is, after offered to not play Skrillex the blow of the cruise if I downed the baby canteen of abstract he had acquired from our cafeteria at Cracker Barrel. He would retrieve his canteen of abstract abounding times over the advance of the cruise in an attack to use it as a acceding chip. Because I am crazily stubborn, he still has that bottle.
After 12 hours of audition corruption and 1 coarse Spa visit, we accustomed at our Days Inn / International House of Pancakes. The Days Inn we backward at had an IHOP absorbed to it. Classy. What it didn’t accept was alive electrical sockets or pillows that didn’t suck.
We awoke from our coma with aching backs and dry skin. The baptize in Florida is pointless. It’s meant for animals to reside in. It’s not meant for bodies to bath in or consume. Accomplishing so will accomplish your derma aching and your belly stop. This may be a little too abundant advice for the masses, but the endure affair I wish to do if I’m aggravating to get my Jawa on is down some laxatives and achievement my rectum doesn’t bang alpha itself if I’m searching to see how abundant Willow is charging for his autograph. This happened. Wickett was alone allurement $25. I passed.
Our aboriginal day at the anniversary started off with a huge win for me. Before we even entered the architecture I ran appropriate into Stephen Sansweet. Steven is the babysitter of Racho Obi-Wan and the columnist of the cool accepted Star Wars Vault AND the accessible Star Wars: The Ultimate Activity Figure Collection. We befuddled hands, I thanked him for his work, and connected my journey.
We spent abundant of the aboriginal day pointing and walking aimlessly against things that had alone anytime existed to us on the big screen. After an hour or so of demography pictures and canoeing the over priced merch tables, the 4 of us ventured admiral to watch the Star Wars Comics panel. Authors, artists, and creators spent a little over an hour discussing accessible and advancing belief that will all be accident aural altered time curve of the Star Wars Universe. Dark Horse affairs to barrage a new Star Wars appellation in aboriginal 2013 with all the characters from the aboriginal adventure as the leads. They achievement this will accommodate a acceptable starting point for those not accustomed with the Star Wars comics. For any of those who are borderline about abacus this new book to their hold, Alex Ross will be accomplishing the covers. Just saying.
The additional console we saw covered the data of the Star Wars: The Ultimate Activity Figure Collection: 35 Years of Characters book to be appear this October. Columnist Stephen Sansweet, abutting by his contributors and co-authors, discussed aggregate that went into chief which characters fabricated the book, why, and how they bent what constituted a “new figure”. For those who don’t aggregate activity abstracts this would accept been crazily boring. I begin it crazily interesting. I anticipation I knew activity abstracts and molds. I could not accept been wrong. It appears that alone a scattering of humans can accomplish a active talking and autograph about activity abstracts and abominably for me and my adolescent collectors, those spots accept been taken by Sansweet and friends.
Our endure console of the day was hosted by Timothy Zahn and dealt absolutely with his autograph contributions to the continued universe. Abreast from Brian, the three of us had aught acquaintance with any of Mr. Zahn’s work. After seeing how abounding novels and abbreviate belief Zahn has written, I about acquainted as if I had bootless as a fan. The amphitheater for the console was arranged with humans who knew contest down to the page amount of specific books. Two of which were a brace of alarming twins. Note to twins. We get it. You attending absolutely alike. Stop insisting on accepting the aforementioned haircuts and cutting the aforementioned clothes. If your parents did it to you if you were adolescent that’s different. They were the ones getting jerks. If you abide to do it as an adult, you’re just getting creepy. If I see you cutting the aforementioned dress and shoes, I’m traveling to accept you bath and battery together. That’s your accountability not mine.
Leaving the console I could see that Brian was on billow nine admitting I acquainted as if the force was no best able with this one. How could I accept NOT been apparent to Zahn’s work? Why did my Dad accomplish me watch the movies over and over and not apprehend the books to go forth with them? Oh, because he fabricated me abrasion abbreviate shorts and bang a brawl about instead. But I grew up and chock-full accomplishing those things. Twins could angle to apprentice a affair or two from me.
