Yeah, that's about 10 hours drive. Give or take a little. I Con is a convention on Long Island NY at the Stony Brook Univ. campus, usually pretty good, and a pretty good size. It's a couple of weeks before CIII this year.

We went to Niagra Fall for a vacation a few years ago... camping at Jellystone campgrounds... it was affordable! heheh... Anyway I think the drive from NJ was about six hours...
But I know what you mean about meeting at cons... you really have a hard time because everyone's focus seems to be somewhere else.
I am sure that we'll all know each other much better after CIII though!

Even though I have never met anyone from TJA (except for just a few local folks) I feel like I know you guys already....really.......all of the posts that we make here give insights beyond just costuming and I think it helps us get to know each other far better than I could have imagined that an on-line group could.....so all those sometimes seemingly goofy posts are actually just as important as the serious ones...they are a "snapshot" of us as people inside the costume....

I wish I could think of a way to get you there. Is there anybody in your area that's driving that you could share ride/ gas expenses with. I don't drive either, but I can navigate and keep us on the right roads. Perhaps you could make some props or something & sell them on ebay.

Ok then, heres the deal...I find a room to crash, a ride down and maybe sell that Jedi costume that never sells Get my Anakin costume done and maybe I can get down there to go... I'll put me on as a maybe for now, pending those details I think I may be able to wing it, depending on a lot though. You guys talked me into it

Seriously....who knows what will happen after this last movies is released....there will always be Star Wars in my life....but I am sure there are many that will move on to other things..... I really feel that CIII is not to be missed on many levels....and friendships to be made for years to come...

I know its one of the reasons I am going to gun for this. A ride is a possibility but I'll need to check around to sleep and stuff
