Always love a good dress up ...

I wasn't kidding in my earlier post aboout being a 32 year old geek - I indeed have the release of Star Wars Episode III set as a reminder in Outlook. But as if I really needed reminding? I've been in love with Star Wars since I was about 7 and I haven't found a good enough reason to grow up fully just yet :)

Yesterday I got my ticket for the midnight session of May 19, and the guys I'm going with are keen to go fancy dress. The linked story here shows that there are MANY of us who are willingly taking up the challenge of the "opening night dress-up" - even weeks before opening night!! I'm not sure which character to go as though. I went to my Grade 6 Fancy Dress Ball as Luke Skywalker because it was easy to wrap a sheet around with a belt and my hairstyle wasn't that different ;). My wife dressed as Princess Leia for my 30th birthday party (a super hero party to which I donnned the purple tights and became the Ghost Who Walks), so there's already a good tradition of dressing for the occassion.

I'll let you know what I decide :) but until then may the Force be with you.
