Boggy still has his Yak badge but other than that look out for the bloke in a West Ham shirt 

Hee hee you might have to describe the colours of the shirt to non-UK members Sharon, as they probably won't know what they are. 

[Sharon]

Actually you may be surprised  .  Last time Graham was in the US loads of Americans offered him big money for the shirt off his back, quite literally!  But just in case I will make him a special sign, like a sandwich board, that reads 'Hi I'm Bogleg, are you a Yak' - that should get him noticed

50 days and counting!!!

I just did what i've done for the past two years at the 50 day mark. Dig out my ole backpack, clean it out, and then get all my extra sketches/autos/costumes into a binder in a nice neat order and put the binder into the backpack.

Gosh golly gee I wish it was July 25th.

I wish I could go.  :'(  Definitely--please--give full reports for all Yaks who have to stay at home in the daily grind.  (makes me want to hurl that I can't go!)

I just ran across some auctions for SDCC exlclusives.  I'm not sure how this guy knows what will be available, since last time I checked the SDCC website, none of these were listed.  But how totally COOL!  I need a Comander Cody bust, and a SDCC My Little Pony.  Has anyone seen this Luna Lovegood bust?

[grecopa]

Oh, there's MORE!  Search for SDCC 2007 in his store.  MUST HAVE BSG 3 PACK OF SHIPS!!!

Never mind, now theyre gone.    Maybe he'll list more later.

[grecopa]

Update!  OH JOY!  Now they're all listed on the Comicon site!

[Nienna]

WOW! There's quite a difference in prices from the official Comic Con site and the earlier one you posted Kelly!
Make sure you take an empty suitcase with some bubble wrap inside it to carry all your goodies back home with you! 

[Roz]

Yay... I'll be there... only in December... any chance you guys could wait for me?

YAKSHACKERS MUST UNITE!!!

Ok who is going and who wants to meet up for breakfast at my hotel (it is right across from the convention center, about a 60 second walk.)

There is a good breakfast buffet place downstairs at the Hilton Gaslamp District. The buffet has lots of breads, fruits, breakfast meats, and pancakes or waffles. There is also a full menu if stuffing your face full of food isn't your thing. Once I get an idea if anyone is interested we can figure out the best day and a good time for everyone. The Hilton is also where a lot of celebs stay so we might just catch a couple at breakfast. Last year I saw Daniel Dae Kim and Jorge Garcia (Jin and Hurley from Lost) as well as Masi Oka (Hiro from Heroes) downstairs before they left for the convention. They were all VERY cool about photos and Jorge spoke to me for like 5 minutes about Lost. Was really cool.

If anyone is interested, I will pick up the tab for the breakfast. Just need to know in advance how many to expect 

[Martyn]

Would someone be able to pick me up some items from the con please. There are a few things i'm after. If someone is willing to help please drop me a PM

I'll pay all costs!

Love to!  I plan on going probably Thursday all day, and then I'll check the con schedule to see which other day to attend.  Chances are it will probably be Saturday in which case I'll be in costume. You have plenty of time to decide whether or not you want a dork in a flightsuit at your table.

Hi Bryan. Count me in for a brekkie any day except Friday. I've already booked up with Card Talk. It'll be great to meet some other Shackers 

30 DAYS UNTIL I ARRIVE IN THE USA 

[Roz]

That's a very kind offer Bryan... can I ask - has anyone informed the president of Boggy's arrival? He ought to be informed so that he can make 'preparations'.

[grecopa]

I think the mayor of San Diego is shutting down some streets for Boggy's motorcade.  It's been all over the news.  We'll be in the parade crowd, so wave to us as you pass, Graham.
