Firstly Chase sent me the pics he took at the Dreamnight event Sunday!
Chase insisted I get my pic with the Lion! (His fav animal!)
Brothers from another mother
A far and distant Leia
Everything else is HERE!
And real quick one new Clone Wars Padme I finished since last post:
Pretty pleased with this one.
So Chase and I are not sure we are going to do Star Wars Celebration next year. I’d LOVE to… but with in the midst of selling our house/buying a new one this summer and also wanting to do Disneyworld next year for my birthday AND Chase with his current filmwork schedule… it might not be in the cards to also take a very expensive trip to Chicago.
But we haven’t said no completely yet, so at 1pm this afternoon I was online and in the queue to see if I could get a hotel room. There’s only 2 hotels connected via skywalk to the convention center, so I knew trying to get one of those at con rate was going to be an uphill battle.
Still I thought I’d try and I’d rather us have a good hotel room if we decide to go and if we decide not to, I can always cancel it or (better yet hopefully) transfer it to a friend. Chase was also in the hotel room queue and we were both comparing how long our status bars were. Mine was moving quicker and I got in first. I managed to snag a Fri-Mon reservation at the Marriott McCormick Place — only a king bed room but still. Chase got in not long after me and got a thursday night at another of the con rate hotels (the loews).
We’d love to do what we did when we went to Anaheim back in 2010 – have Kevin, Chase’s brother Scott, and Ash all go, too. If we’re stuck in a king room, hopefully we could get a rollaway for one person, and do air mattresses… I’m fine sleeping on the floor, personally.
Of course my brain has run away with possibilities now that I know IF we go, we are in a connected hotel… what would I take? Bespin Leia, my newer ANH Leia, TFA Leia, Crait Leia, my black Coruscant Amidala I’m supposedly working on right now, Mon Mothma, medieval Leia, comic book Leia. I have 2 things planned in the future – Boushh redo and Loyalist Committee Padme, so those are maybes. I want to make a Jedi Luke for Chase. Maybe finally remake Hoth or Ceremonial Leia? Ooh its just so exciting to think about.
It’s just nice to know we have a place to stay if we are able to go.
