Our findings and impressions of Chicago’s Premiere Pop Culture fest. On opening day we checked out the show floor to see what Star Wars goodness we could find as well as some celebrity and artist autograph hunts. We also talk with a couple of the 501st Midwest Garrison troop and the Joliet Public Library folks who were there to talk about the upcoming Star Wars Day.

On the cusp of C2/E2 we get ready to hunt autographs and decide who we may want to see and meet. Also an update on podcast distribution.

Learning more about the O-Pee-Chee variants to the vintage sets and more news about the podcast and upcoming conventions.

More card finds on eBay and chat about Celebration goals.

Getting our feet wet into this podcast, I lay down some of the goals for the podcast, a little about my collection and what’s happening next.
