Well I just got back last night from one of the greatest weekends of my life. “Hey Doug, what did you do?” you ask? Well, I’ll tell you…I went to the Celebration III back in Indiana. The biggest Star Wars con…IN THE WORLD!!! I went with my two good friends from high school, Andrew and Chris, and we let the dorks, out of their cages. Oh ya, and I got a freakin’ light saber! It’s so cool, I can’t even tell you.

I went back on Thursday, which that night we went out to an a pub/arcade and spent the night drinking and playing Star Wars games, then at 12 we made the pact. “We’re staying up all damn night.” So we went home for a second to collect ourselves, picked up a pack of Red Bull, and proceeded back downtown. With a stop off at the 24hr IHop of course for breakfest. Then we got in line alittle before 4am (we were one of the first ones by the way) and waited until 8am to get our tickets. Then…we waited in the “short line” for almost 2 more hours in the pouring rain. Did I mention I already was sick before all of this? Ha, well it was freakin’ worth it. Once we got inside we were soaked to the bones, but it wouldn’t “dampen” our day. We went around taking pictures galore, bought our kick ass authentic replica lightsabers, and hung out with some cool people for the rest of the day. We finally crashed around 4pm, and didn’t wake up until around 8am the next day.

And now I’m back, feeling refreshed and uplifted. It was exactly what I needed. It was one of those weekends that I knew through out it, that it was one of those times that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Check out the pictures folks, and bask in the dorkiness.

P.S. I also got my kick ass Alienware MJ-12 3300 the day before I left, I’ll be posting sexy pictures of the new love of my life shortly. Take it easy…
