It's run by Gen Con who did a bad job for C3 which is what worries me.

You've never been abroad? Not even to Canada? You're missing out man. I guess I am kinda lucky. Bear in mind though that for me, travelling to France or Italy for example was only 2 hours on a plane, and not very expensive.Wow. I've never been to California, let alone abroad. How lucky.
Anyway, I'm probably gonna get flamed for not talking about Star Wars Celebration, so I'll shut up.

To many reasons to list here without a massive thread derailment. I was a volunteer at C3. The good thing about volunteering is that I was able to get INTO the convention early every morning (I heard about a lot of people being stuck outside in the line more than 2 hours after it opened). The bad thing about it was dealing with GenCon staff.

Just for example: It wasn't the convention itself that made C3 fun it was the fans. Okay the weather had a huge actor to the dissatisfaction. But GenCon totally blew it as far as organization was concerned. Where the fan club were supposed to get in early, they still had to wait hours to get in even after the doors opened. The lines for the official store were a joke and they frequently ran out of their daily alotments and in fact had to close early on some days. On the first day, my friend waited in line 5 hours before he finally got his stuff. Meanwhile while I and a couple others went in at the same time, they split the line when it opened and we were out of there in an hour and a half. There was allegedly a Fast pass system in place, in fact there was a booth for it. It didn't happen. Most of these exclusive products for CIII were available a week later on swshop.com.
The official CIII party was overpriced, and just plain silly. Long lines for activities and events were the norm there as well. You had to pay for that and for any foods at that party as well. There was a party for all the fan clubs, 501st, Rebel Legion, Fan Force. $35 bought you admission to a room that did not have enough seats, not enough food, and no organization. In fact the celebs that got invited went to the cooler private master replicas party which I attended.
And next year, unless you are a Hyperspace member, you can not go to Thursday's show since that is exclusive to the fan club. So if you are willing to schekel out another $39 for membership into Hyperspace, you are out of luck for an entire day of the con. yes Lucasfilm knows how to milk a franchise and a fanbase for all it's worth

Also, GenCon will be offering special room package rates online later this year. I'm not sure what exactly they are or how much they'll be, but I'm guessing they'll have information up on starwarscelebration.com as soon as it's available. Those will most likely sell out very fast, so don't miss out. Just for the record though, our hotel rates we booked ourselves at Celebration III were about the same price as the ones GenCon offered online.
The point I'm trying to make though is that you should at least be thinking about this now instead of three months before the con when you'll be lucky if you can find a hotel room within 20 miles of the convention center.
If anyone has any questions about the Celebration, feel free to post them here or PM me. I went to Celebration II and III (but somehow missed the first one which was held in my hometown).

I'm thinking about going, but I'd have to hook up with some other people to share room costs and such. And I don't think anyone I know is going at this point.

According to the site, early registration is $110 for all 4 days. Fan Club members get in Thursday for free (non-FC members will not be admitted Thursday).
If you order between now and Thursday November 2, you will get an email Thursday morning (10AM PST) with details about discount hotel accomodations. Hotels close to the convention center that might say they are already booked for the dates of the con, such as the Figueroa, will have rooms available for those who order their C4 tickets online.
If anybody does this, let us know what hotel reservations you were able to get. I'll do the same.

As an Angelino, I must tell you that downtown is one of the least interesting parts of our city. Bleh.
I'm still not positive I'm going to the convention, but with it being in L.A. - I guess I'll find it hard to resist.

I wish I could go but I live across the continent (and in another country to boot) and I probably couldn't get enough friends interested in this to drop that dough for tickets AND airfare/hotel etc.....but did I read that right though? pay for 4 days, get in for 3 (if you aren't a FC member) then pay extra for admittance on the 4th on the day? BULLSHIT.
