Why we're psyched about CONvergence 2008!

1. Two words: Peter Mayhew (and an additional acronym and word for those who aren't as geeky as we are: AKA Chewbacca)
2. Two full floors of Cabana Room parties each night (Annie's hoping for the return of the Dystopia Party that was so awesome in 2005)
3. 99 percent likelihood of multiple Rock Band setups throughout the event (and admittedly, 99 percent likelihood only those who arrive three days early to sign up will actually get to play them)
4. Checking out all the cosplayers - like in 2005 when we saw this guy dressed like the prince from Katamari Damacy
5. The rooms that run nothing but Buffy and Firefly 24 hours a day
6. Getting to chill out in Connie's Space Lounge again...hopefully this time without an obnoxious 10-year-old throwing rubber balls in our faces
7. Getting to see our awesome friends (Minnesota) Matt W. and (hopefully) Evan
8. Cinema Rex, the big room with the big screen that shows sci-fi movies 24 hours a day
9. It's four days long this year, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the con -- that's 33 percent more fun!
10. Guests of honor Len Wein (creator of Wolverine) and Marv Wolfman (creator of the New Teen Titans and Blade), who hopefully will participate in a return of the Superhero Smackdown panel
11. The possible inclusion of some of our friends from DC and other parts of the country (come on, guys...eh? eh?)
