I understand fiscal concerns but PleasePleasePlease do try! An Ultimate LW meet-up wouldn't be the same without you!

It's too bad the "ultimate meet-up" had to happen in San Diego. <btw, not throwing any barbs here, as I know this has been planned forever> If we were ever to have a future "ultimate" meetup at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte I could easily make that one as my mom lives in that area. But that's part of the problem (albeit, one with much more of an upside) with the expansive nature of this fansite.
Maybe, someday, we could plan a "mini-ultimate" in Charlotte involving some of us MMBers who interact a lot. Or maybe I'll fall into some money. For example, I've "known" Cobalt forever but despair that I'll ever actually meet him.
I sure would like to meet you guys, but I just don't have the disposable income for San Diego.

I'd love to see you there Lardy but understand the situation. Charlotte would be a great place to meet. I love that part of the country. So maybe one day.
I've gone ahead and gotten my 4 day pass. Still don't know if it'll be both Caroline and I or just me.

How's this for a 180? We'll both be there! I just got a TERRIFIC offer through a friend for a 1 bd/1 ba condo 2 BLOCKS from the con! We need to find someone to check on our babies but now Caroline is excited about going.
And I'm extending an offer to host a barbecue on one night while we are there. This place has a rooftop barbecue area that we can use. Everyone can bring their own meat (or veg), drink and something to share and we can have a Legion World rooftop blowout!

It wouldn't be THE ultimate meet-up without you two (and Gary, but he has no excuse for not being there )!

OK now we need some help!
We have found and booked a place to stop, (and it seems to have more rooms free if anyone is still looking) Arriving in San Diego on the Wednesday and flying home on the Monday we are staying in the Heritage Park B&B in the old town (www.heritageparkinn.com)
Now as Jennifer is probably going to be a bit of a comic convention widow I am on the lookout for some ideas of things she can do on her own, whilst I am locked away in the con. If anyone is also brining a partner along who would prefer to sightsee rather than go to the con I’m sure we can set up meetings.
In terms of places to eat, again some hints would be welcome.
Still thinking of going to Las Vegas before San Diego for two or three days so if anyone is still planning on doing this maybe we could meet up there as well?

Caroline said she'd stay at the condo but I convinced her to come along and man the table for us. I need to someone to watch my laptop anyway.
But I'm sure she and Jen can do something one of the days. Maybe Caroline can get her hooked on scrapbooking.
As for Vegas, we plan on being there overnight for just one night, Monday. Our condo res starts Tuesday. If we are in town and work it around CJ's arrival I'll gladly be your taxi unless you guys are renting a vehicle. We, as usual, will be making the drive. Much more fun than flying. But I guess that Atlantic stretch would make it kind of hard for you guys.

Faraway: Old Town is a lovely neighborhood and you could easily make a day of seeing it's sites. It has lots of little touristy shops, restaurants, galleries and a museum.
And of course there is the famous zoo, Sea World, the wild animal park, Legoland, the beach. Heck, now I want to blow off the convention!

I'll bring ice cream! Having never done the convention thing, how does it work? Most of the panels and things are done by 5pm? Will there be a Legion World roving party? Will SD quiver at the sound of our celebration?

Okay, I finally registered for the con today, and sent a reservation request to the inn where Far and Gigglebot plan to stay.
I plan on flying into SD on the morning of the 23rd and back out on the morning of the 28th.
Unfortunately I'm going to be on a budget this year, so I won't be buying every back issue I can find on sunday, but other than that it looks to be a great vacation.
