30 Years Of Starwars Hits The Staples Convention Center

[fj]

Last night, going home from the gym in downtown LA at 8.30 or so, I saw a 9-year-old dressed in Luke Skywalker costume, walking with a chaperone. Today, having left home early, in that same downtown intersection, at 5.30 or so, crossing with a large group of people were two early twenty-somethings, or late teens, in full Jedi get-up. While everyone else around them tried to pretend not to notice, I gave them a discreet thumbs-up.

I suddenly got this strong urge to follow them and ghost that convention. Doesn't matter how kinky or buff or styled I may ever become; these nerds are still more my people.

Amen! Greatest movie ever made! No conventions here that I know of, though, or I'd be tempted to rent a Chewbacca or Vader costume and go.
