We'll see how much it rains on Friday night. I wouldn't want to watch it sitting in mud anyway.

Hi guys. I'm here at the messe essen, having arrived in Germany from the U.S. Sunday.
I didn't know about this thread, but chaim just pointed me to it.
I'm here because me and my business partner Ben Stevens produce the autograph program for the celebrations (though we didn't for CE).
It's HOT, about 33-34c today. It has just rained this evening so it's much cooler, but will still be over 30 the rest of the week I'm told.
The halls had *some* air conditioning on today, and I expect they will make it cooler for the show. Most of the show gets set up tomorrow, as all of the freight clears customs then, or is pending the international customs clearing then the eu clearing of shipments.
As usual I'll be in the autograph hall behind the cashiers and very busy, but if anybody can stop by I'd love to meet you.

Looking forward to see you guys ... take a deep breath when going through the tunnel ... chewing of bubble gum is to be advised as well against popping ears ... I know ... I went by eurostar-train back in 2007 to CE.

I am not sure if I can make it to the pub on Friday, but I´ll definitely be wearing an RPF shirt all three days and stay in Essen on saturday for a beer or two! Philip, Chaim, Simon and the rest, hope to meet you guys!

I will attend right from the start
There will be queues at any time so I don't care.
Don't know if I will wear my RPF shirt during the day... It is black and relatively warm. But I sport it for the bar
BTW: I just talked to the clerk at my hotel and he recommends PLAN B instead of Eigelstein ... Seems like they prepared something for us fans both are just 100m apart from each other, so we can switch locations if wanted

I'll be there in spirit. My personal item is there via OFFICIAL PIX getting signed by Ian McDiarmid. LOL
Today´s line-up of people Markus and I met were
Ligonap
R2Dan
MohMoh
Trap Joe
Rocko
Markus is still in Essen, while I went home to take care of my little one, so I am sure that today´s list is not completely accurate anymore.

Did not find anybody with a RPF shirt at Eigelstein or at Plan B after ROTJ, but I was too tired anyway.
I spotted one guy with an old RPF shirt at the con, but I was standing in line and he was too far away.
I'll be wearing a "Bad Droid" T-shirt tomorrow. I'm sorry I have lost my name tag...
BTW. Tomorrow will be the big day for costumes. The 501st will have their group photo taken as will a few garrisons and the costuming contest is on.

A not too tall, stout guy with longer hair? That would´ve been me
Tomorrow I´ll be wearing the newer, black and blue RPF shirt, as will Markus. If the weather makes it necessary I´ll change into another star wars shirt, either "jedi academy" or the classic ILM workshop x-wing shirt.

Hi, planning to check it out tomorrow. A 3 hour drive and I only want to get my vintage poster signed by Hamill and fisher.
Anybody here can tell me if the qeues were very long and if the actors are friendly?
Really have not decided to go or not.

Hi BasD,
Since we're running the autograph program.....
The longest wait for each was 45 minutes today, but you can even catch it with less time, it just depends on the timing. I think middle of the day might be best.
