One Last Campout for Star Wars Fans

Posted by michael on from the meesa-love-you-long-time dept.

theodp writes "27-year-old graphic artist Jeff Tweiten lives on a periwinkle blue, fold-out futon on the sidewalk in front of the Cinerama Theatre in downtown Seattle. He is not homeless, but camping out for 139 days. Waiting. For what, you wonder? Tweiten is waiting for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, which opens May 19. And yes, he's keeping a blog. 14 days down. 125 to go." In other Star Wars news: dbottaro writes "Who wants a JL421 Badonkadonk? NAO Design has built a functional Sandcrawler, ala Star Wars Episode IV. Complete with blaster-deflecting sidewalls, full interior carpeting, seating for five and a 400 watt stereo system." Reader dankinit writes "For all you Star Wars fans, a Darth Tater Mr. Potato Head will be released in February by Hasbro Inc. The new covers for the Episode III books due out a month before the movie were also posted today."

    Don't you know how to be social with interesting people, or are you one of the stereotypical anti-social geeks that doesn't notice the shit spewing out of his mouth?

    So a person who doesn't necessarily have a huge interest in Mt. Everest, but likes the climbing for the challenged and decides to climb it is a freak? Jesus Christ, normality doesn't necessarily imply that all of your goals and spontaneous nature has to comply with everyone elses. Get a life and some originality. What has the guy done that is wrong?

    I'm the asshole? Who's the one judging people they don't even know just because they're jealous that they've never done anything interesting??
