Our pal Steve Sansweet was hanging out on the Forcecast tonight, and he gave us some tidbits:
- Jon Stewart’s “Main Event” with George Lucas will be a one-time only thing, but there will be an overflow room.
- All six Star Wars films will be screened digitally, two a night.
- The U.S. Postal Service will be on hand the first day with a special mailing station and themed cancellation stamp.
- Randy Martinez is doing the program art.
- There will be some form of opening ceremony – because Steve needs to wear a silly costume (See right.)
- And weirdest of all… There will be speed dating. No, really. Speed dating.
The podcast is aired live tonight, but will be up later this week.
UPDATE: Listen to Steve on the ForceCast!
I know you’re going to be my speed dating wing(wo)man, right? Dunc? RIGHT?
Speed dating at last! I can finally find my soulmate. ::snerk::
I’m pleased to say the speed dating idea from the Dragon*Con track. Brandy Roatsey put together Lightspeed Dating. They ended up with two couples.
And I can’t wait to see what the costume is this time.
If I were going, I would totally find the time to do the speed dating. It sounds like more fun when you face the possibility of ending up sitting across from someone in a Wookiee outfit.
I just hope that at least one of those speed-dating couples ends up making it official at the CV love chapel.
