    Oh, damn it! Florida's Orange County!

    Seriously, Meredith, I can forgive typos, trolls and Graeme McMillan, but this?

    This is up there.

    Thank you so much for the non-gallery versions. Much easier to read, quicker to load, etc.

    It would be hella-tight to get "Secret Agent" (Danger Man) on DVD along with classic Prisoner. You can pretend it's the same guy.

    I've been to the First in Denver, and the Fourth in LA. The First was huge, and amazing, with lots of support from lucasfilm, and a real celebration. The Fourth was drastically smaller, and felt like a half hearted effort just cause they could.

    If they can show this will be more like the first, I will try and go.

    @Demonbird: Everyone I know who went to the first one says it was miserably cold, unorganized and muddy. I was at both the third and fourth and had a blast. (L.A. might have felt emptier because of the size of the convention center, which is almost ridiculously huge.)

    @Dunc:
    The first was fine, but I lived in Denver so I knew to bring warm clothes, unlike those travelling in in many cases. It had a massive impressive array of dealers, but inside there was a HUGE display of Lucasfilm goodies, from lifesize x wings and pod racer parts, to battle droids and movie props. There were games on display that wouldn't be out for a while, and loads of amazing stuff. At four, there wasn't really any of that. Not in any way shape or form like the first one.
    They didn't even use the full space of that con center by a lot.

    Orange County Florida?! BOOO!

    No way I am going across the country to a different Orange County when there is a perfectly good OC an hour's drive from me.

    Miserable weather, that's what. Have you ever been in Florida in frakin August? You need gills to simply walk outside. It thunders hellacious rain most afternoons.

    You picked the wrong OC, frakers.

    How is that a funny video from the mayor? Looked like a regular publicity video. The droid video was cute.
