Celebration Europe 2007 – Day 3

14 July 2007 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Lost in London! Saturday, July 14, 2007 – Ignored – Shopping spree – Lukas – Fanboys 
After we got up on Saturday and had breakfast (with Alex staring after a member of the opposite sex the whole time), we headed to the ExCeL. Since we went without costumes this time, we got to the ExCeL about 15 minutes faster, because no passersby paid attention to us anymore and nobody wanted photos.

First we went looking for the Fan Lounge, since we hadn't found it on Friday, just like a few other places. After a long search, we took the elevator up one floor and wandered down a hallway until we arrived at the Fan Lounge, where we saw Steve Sansweet up close. Alex actually wanted a photo with him, but Tim was in a hurry once again and just took off.

Then we went to see the exhibits of the Lucasfilm Archives. After that we looked at various booths, and Alex bought a Vader ESB and ROTS mini for 25 pounds in total. The same booth also had the Qui-Gon LE for 100 pounds, of which Alex first had to take a few photos. About 2 booths further on, we saw the Vader ESB mini 5 pounds cheaper. Then we went into the Celebration Europe shop and bought T-shirts, pens, posters and so on.

Next on the program was the Force Unleashed panel, where the trailer was shown as well. After the panel we kept wandering through the convention and ran into Lukas by chance (not yet on the team back then), with whom we spent the rest of the time until we went to the next panel, where the rough cut of the film „Fanboys“ was shown. 
Then we headed back to our hotel and on the way to the DLR station met a few people from Regensburg, one of whom was dressed as Darth Maul. When we got to our hotel, we first had to wait an hour for our food, which didn't taste that great either, but the waitress looked quite „nice“ 😉 When we were done eating, we went to our room and wanted to sleep, but then Tim had nothing better to do than annoy us with „sleep I will, forever sleep.:“ and „there is another Sky .. Sky .. “.
