Only now, at the end, do I understand…
I apologize for the lack of a proper Celebration wrap-up. Unfortunately, I was struck by illness at C3 and have spent the last few days in bed, when I wasn’t dragging myself to work.
Here are the highlights of C3’s online coverage. I’d do more (and suggestions are welcome) but I’m only one woman!
starwars.com @ Celebration 3
Those of us at C3 often spotted various LFL online staff members running at Ludicrous Speed through the convention center. This is what they were doing. And for Hyperspace members: video!
TheForce.net
The most expansive SW fansite was no slouch at C3 either. Be sure to check out their photo galleries.
USAToday
Everyone’s favorite rainbow-colored news source went all out for C3. They did the obligatory article, of course, but the most impressive feature is an actual blog from the Con. There are (or were: ask Eliz) some spelling/geek sobbery issues, but you gotta respect a guy who can get his bosses to send him to a Star Wars convention.
Artist’s Allied
This website for LFL-approved artists has a nice collection of C3 photo links. And you can get a closer look at some of the exclusive prints that were on sale at the con.
The Personal Approach
From the professional side of things, author Karen Traviss blogged her C3 experiences. Start here for the full picture. Bonnie Burton of starwars.com promises a few good stories in the future… Matthew Stover is keeping a blog of his book tour, which includes a stop at the con, but nothing’s up yet there or at his usual blog, but maybe soon… For more, be sure not to miss the Livejournal’s Celebration 3 community, which will give you a nice gateway to lots of attendee reports.
