I'd like to go, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to swing it this year or not...
Haven't had a chance to see if I can book a place or not yet... and it sounds like it might be prohibitively expensive now....

I am going to fly out to go. I am going to the Orlando Con next weekend.
This will be the first year I go for both.
I hope to run into Barry Kitson so he can do a sketch for me of Dreamer.
I want to also ask Waid what his long-term plans were for Dreamer and why he "killed" her in the first place.

Well plans continue to develop. We have now booked rooms at the Luxor, Las Vegas for the 20th 21st and 22 travelling down to San Diego for the 23rd. Rates seemed reasonable as well at $70 per room per night. Now all we need to do is sort out transfers between the two and flights to the USA. So Scott if that offer to car share is still on we might need to take you up. Or if any one else’s plans fit in with these dates and they fancy a car share deal let me know.

Funny. I was thinking of the Luxor for us as well but haven't booked it yet. Probably just for the night of the 21st though as our check-in date is the 22nd. Is you check-in in San Diego set for the 23rd? Don't mind you guys hitching from LV but I don't want you to get to SD a day early with no place to stay.

Far, Scott- I might be up for a night or two in Vegas, and a ride to San D.
The Luxor is very cool. Good choice, Far. It would be my first choice for Vegas hotels, having seen several of them.
I haven't booked my trip, but I may be able to add Vegas (or even Salt Lake City? what do you think, Scott? Caroline?) to my itinerary.
I started to volunteer to carpool on the 23rd, but I'm not sure what time I have to be on the Con floor Wednesday for preview night, and how much set-up we (I) have to do.

Sean, I've booked us into the Luxor for Sunday and Monday. We'll be leaving SLC early Sunday, maybe around 6 AM. So depending on your schedule you are more than welcome to drive with us to Vegas. And, as I said before, we'll be leaving Vegas early Tuesday since our condo check-in is 3:00 PM for Tuesday. I'm not sure if that's too early for you, Darden and Jen. If not, I'm sure we can squeeze the three of you in the back seat. You just have to put up with my XM radio choice which is usually 150 (uncensored comedy).

I should be getting into SD Wednesday morning. Let me know when and where to meet and I can help with the table set up.
Were we planning to have something at the table, or is it just a meeting place? I figure Scott will display his Lightning Lad outfit, and Jen will show off her Duo Damsel duds.

Keep us updated on this. I'm only in LA and planning to take Wednesday off from work altogether (provided I still have a job), so I could probably be around to help out with setup.

I'll also be in town early enough to assist with setup if you want some help

Sean it looks like we wont be travelling to SD until the 23rd (just a bit too awkward to change and add dates and stuff) so if you are in the area and want to car pool let me know and we can see what we can do.

Between Con requirements and likely set-up time (I can't imagine we'll have a complex set-up), as long as I arrive in San D by mid-afternoon I'd be happy. That would give me time to settle in, rendez-vous with Dedman and Director Lad, and handle set-up without being in a mad rush.
Far, roughly what time were you guys planning to depart Vegas Wednesday morning? If I'm to go along, a late morning departure would not work for me.
Also- If anyone wants to switch regular Con membership over to an Exhibitor badge, one has to refund their current memberships (I have a phone # for people to call), and I can book extra Exibitor badges by a special form they're sending me.

After my extended stay in the hospital, it's not looking good for me to be able to make it out there this year. If I manage to do so it will be at the last minute and, quite honestly, I doubt there will be tickets available at such a late date. I do have a hotel reservation, which I'll wait to cancel until the last moment but am not buying airline or con tickets at this point.
I was so looking forward to it too

It won't be the same without you Julio. But I can understand the financial pressure.
Sean, we are still leaving on Tuesday morning so you are more than welcome to ride into SD with us, unless Tuesday is too early.
