I'm going to attack my write-up of Celebration V in two pieces. So much stuff went on that it'd be agonizing to read through my tale of events (especially with Darth Danno doing such a good job of it). So today I'm going to post my photos of the trip. I'm also working on a "Best/Worst" type list that I'll be posting sometime later. Hopefully that'll give you a good feel for how it was.

So... CreatureCantina.com is proud to present a visual retrospective of C5!

• Stormtrooper Bill drinking already...
• Me and the "Cantina Band" (according to LFL sources)
• Life-sized Jailbait Jedi... very dangerous!
• and here's the Clone Wars guys nobody cares about.

• My stunning day-one score... a 4-UP prototype of an unproduced Micro 3PO
