August Doldrums Cured by Star Wars Celebration V, Wizard World Chicago Photo Parades
Welcome to Nightly.net, where a picture is worth five thousand words, well surpassing the lousy exchange rate offered by other backwater cheapskate fan sites!
While our under-25 members focus on returning to school and our over-25 members drink to forget how much of their summer they wasted, two of Nightly.net’s power couples left the comfy environs of their respective homes and ventured forth to a pair of very special events! Check out the links below to experience the sights and stories of fandom and fantasy that brought thrills and shills to lurkers and looky-loos alike!
August 12-15: Orlando hosted Star Wars Celebration V, in which George Lucas thanked the fans, revealed his company’s Blu-Ray plans sure to come to fruition within the next ten years, and allowed his favorite actors to earn some spending money from fans. Our virtually official picture thread is provided courtesy of Nightly’s own Mara Jade Skywalker and Ender, who found more than just the droids they were looking for and never once had a bad feeling about this!
August 26-29: the Wizard World Chicago mixed-media convention with comic books in it returned for its approximately 39th annual show if you pretend that it’s the same thing as the original Chicago Comic Con. William Shatner, Adam West, James Marsters, and some background lady from Twilight: Eclipse presided over a massive crowd that united as one in a chorus of revulsed boos when convicted felon Rod Blagojevich arrived to sucker attendees out of their money and submit his application for the job of Gareb Shamus’ Sith apprentice. This subjective reporter and his sainted wife weathered the fallout, defied the boycotts, and shared their photos and zeal!
