Full Version: An Odd Dream

I had a dream last night, that I believed was caused by a recent conversation I had with Dave Reddick.

In the dream, I was in a book store and was perusing through the graphic novel section when I came across the complete 20 year collection of Looking For Group. Happy to see it on the shelf, I immediately picked it up and flipped through the pages.

Similar to how we divide the collections now, every 28 pages was 1 issue. I turned to issue 12, and lo and behold, there was Cale and Richard...

...in space...

...on the Millennium Falcon.

Indeed, as I read through a few more issues, it became evident that I had apparently re-written Star Wars with our characters.

I really need to watch what I eat before bed, honest to Jebas.

While I have your attention though, and as convention season is approaching once again, allow me to present our current schedule, in the hopes that you'll be able to make it out to at least one show to say hello:

New York Comicon (Feb 6-8, 2009)
MegaCon (Feb 27-Mar 1, 2009)
Comic-Con (Jul 22-26, 2009)
Gen Con (Aug 13-16, 2009)
Fan Expo Canada (Aug 28-30, 2009)
DragonCon (Sep 4-7, 2009)

Should be an interesting time.

That would have been awesome, though horribly copyrighted.

Cool and odd dream indeed. I'm looking forward to these 20 years of LFG though, Star Wars or not.
Idgit
You... made them.... Yes. Very yes.

And oh man, I totally need to try to plan better this year so I can go to a Con. Mayhap DragonCon, as it is in my state.

Only time... will tell! *dramatic music, etcetera, etcetera*
sonochamp
If I go to NY Comic-Con, I'll definitely have to bring a storyboard with a combo LICD/LFG Star Wars retelling.
If Family Guy can do it, I don't see why you can't.

Spoiler Alert: Richard is Rayne's father... but don't tell anyone.
Clarke-Kent
At least your dreams are interesting....I dreamed that I woke up hours late for work.

Not a bad list of shows...but missing one...[post="http://www.vcon.ca/index.htm"]Vancouver![/post]...
Holdmusic
AHAHA! I laughed so hard when I read about your dream! Looking for group with Star Wars? oh geez, I hope not.

I really want that 20 year collection though. Sounds awesome.

So should I bring the standard redbull this year?

By 'the', I assume you mean 'many'?

I used to bounce at a local college bar, and on any given night there would be two or three hot chicks walking around town giving out free Red Bull. They had cooler backpacks shaped like giant Red Bull cans. I tried to get one for you, Sohmer. Oh, how I tried. I always failed, though sad.gif

Also, they have a car with a giant Red Bull can on top.
Abane
*laughs at dream* Man, I love you! You are totally my hero!


I wish I could go to a convention but being in Canada and low on funds....alas I will have to settle for online sad.gif
Aubrey
Man, it's been a while since I was at a convention. Fun times, those. Ever think of swinging through Denver one of these years? We've got a respectable Con scene. Probably Tier-2ish still though, but working our way up.

laugh.gif Okay. Somebody needs to draw that. Like right now.

Pwease? *makes sad puppy eyes*

On the topic of dreams, there's got to be something weird in the water supply. Last night I dreamt I was some kind of undercover agent having coffee with Lord Voldemort. blink.gif
Nadriel
Richard shot first!

Richard also shot second, shot third, shot fourth, set fire to the Cantina, froze Jabba solid and stole the Death Star to go joyriding in...
Gingerplague
Are you gonna have a convention in Australia some time? That would be awesome (especially if it was in SA)
Baeron von Bleat
Would Krunch be chewwie? And I guess Pella would be Yoda? A singing dancing bloodthirsty berserking Yoda we always dreamed of... Hooray!

I'll be hitting up the New York Comicon for once! And I can't take great pics, but i'm dragging my GF and she's a photographer, so she'll be in her glory taking pics of the randomness that only a comicon can bring.

I'll see what I can do about the RB... is bringing vodka a no go? lol
LizardKitsch
Oh, I see. You can get to Florida, but you can't get to Illinois for ACen? I see. I understand. You just don't like the Midwest. *sniffle*

On another note. Which one's Han?

Had to be Richard as Han (knowledgeable, getting into trouble, resorting to tricks and out right sneaky maneuvering) while Cale plays the Luke role perfectly (of course we have yet to see how he'll eventually go crazy bad-ass in the end). The old Prophet would be Obi Wan I guess. Are the Gnome's the ewok's then?
Ri-Chan
Awww, no Key Con in Winnipeg? D: Or Manitoba Comic Con? :3
Kristen
I like that dream. smile.gif

I'm going to beg my husband to perhaps trip down to Orlando for the MegaCon, and stay the weekend. I think he'll be on leave then because we'll be fixing to move to Hawaii. It's only a 8 or so hour drive. Easy. So hopefully I'll see you guys there.
Zafreia
I've heard there are scorpions in Hawaii. Watch your feet.

And that dream sounds yayishful. Looking for...Star?

Richard: "I don't like outer space. There's nothing alive out here to kill."
Jessica The Witch
Cale is Luke, Richard is Han?
Hmm...
Dibs on being Cale's twin sister ;D

It's extremely sad how everyone fits rather well into their roles.
Lol, a Chewwie Krunch. Sounds like candy. :3
LordKnyght
Damn, I'm glad to hear you'll be back at Gencon this year. One quick question though. How many bags of the addictive hulless cheese popcorn should I bring you this year? laugh.gif
Chuint
Everyone has more exciting dreams than me.

I fell asleep today, and I actually had a LFG dream...which i have occasionaly due to always thinking of when it updates next.
Anyway, Richard was driving me out to get a haircut...then we got Burger King.



And I swear to god, Im going to make it to Gen-Con this year if it kills me! >:U
Nachtrae
*glares jealousy to all the people who can go*
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! ;_; I wanna see the awesomeness team too and give 'em hugs, Red Bull and even more hugs!! Why are those cons always so far away! *cries in a corner*
Moongoose
Aww no Wizard World this year? The rest of us in Chicago will be sad.
Lyrist
Toronto in August... so what if I started collecting the Red Bull right now, and by the time August rolls around, delivered the biggest mountain of it you've ever seen.

Though how will I get it into the Convention Center? D;

One word: Forklift
Zafreia
Ah ah ah- Forklifts are painful. Go with either a cherry picker or a small helicopter.
~Kitty~
I wish i could make it to the NY Con sad.gif , Love the dream lol..I always have odd dreams, a lot of them I never remember full details of tho LOL.
Phedre
I'm amazed you can remember your dreams so well...I haven't been able to since I was in High School, when I dreamt the school was flooded and we had to canoe to class.
We have FallCon here in Mn, though it takes place in October. It would be great if you would trek here for FallCon 2009! I would definitely come! Give it some thought smile.gif
CHR1S FARLY
I only have one dream. Its a reacuring one. I'm standing on top of a pyramid dressed in sort of sun god robes with thousands of beautiful women throwing little pickles at me.

Any one else?
Texuniok
Yaaaay Comic con! I get to scare the pants off of Sohmer again.
Zafreia
I had a dream that I was the midwife for a small village, and Richard was slaughtering the babies as soon as I delivered them. I remember being very cross.
A fish that is sexy
And it takes a weird dream for me to finally get an account for the forums here. Ofcourse it does. Although browsing through the pages I've seen many people request for a pic of that( Richard would probably be Obi One although more evil and Cale Luke although less whiny ), I am disappointed that no one has actually posted any links or pics whatsoever. Badly drawn or not.

Give those fan-art drawers a break! >w< I'm planning to draw something like that soon, though it's rather bussy for me right now. Have some patience. Fanartists lack the brains to hurry ^^
SpartanNumber029
Would you be going to the Baltimore Comic-Con? I know that their website is a little outdated (it still shows the 2008 Comic-Con stuff), but I am currently awaiting their reply to see when it is; last year, it was held on September 27-8, so if it is held on a similar date, you guys should have no problem attending (if you wantd to, that is).

A dream with starwars and Looking for group??? Well, there's anything better to dream...
Dragon1222kv
My fiance and I will be there for the New York Comic-Con. We have not had the privladge of meeting you guys yet, but we are very excited to!!!

Can't wait ^o^

Ya know, last night I had a LFG dream, and I came here today to read some comics when I saw this post... had to share laugh.gif Long story short, my teeth were broken, and Richard was my dentist. His office was in a dank basement, and his laughing gas wasn't working, so he was shoving the mask on my face, trying to get me to inhale properly. Very strange... Having a Star Wars crossover sounds absolutely hilarious though--you really should make a couple parody strips!
