| On the weekend, We were giving away surprise GIFTS to
the first visitors. Saturday was Episdoe 2 Posters courtesy
of Skywalker General Store. Thanks Jay !!! Sundays Prize
were a choice of ILM Pens or LucasArts pens. Kids tended
to go for the LucasArts (videogames) pens and the older
fans wanted pens from one of the best special effects company
in the biz... ILM :)

| On the opposite end of the entrance was a huge Welcome
sign. Telling people how to proceed and the rules for the
tree pick up on Monday. I am glad to say ALL parcicipants
were CIVIL, except for ONE nutcase who wanted to beat me
up when I told him he could not take home his daughters
tree with him on friday. He was REAL PSYCHO. and SO not
a good vibe for the workshop and the convention. It's a
good thing he only have the one day friday pass.

| Working on Transformers at ILM allowed me the opportunity
for this AWESOME daily ritual. It was great to see the same
workshop builders gather together every day at 11:38 hoping
to win one of the OFFICIAL ILM Star Wars Crewgear. The really
cool thing was that "chance" was making "real"
fans and kids the winners. I would have HATED to see these
awesome "gifts" end up on ebay.

| The Speeder Bike Trains were a HUGE hit. I only wish
they would have been ready earlier as John and I had planed.
However, you can't really have the chase happen when the
forrest doesn't yet exist ;p
