Heh -- mention the money and everything gets quiet. smile

What would you like us to do? Can we send a check? Are we going to skip it at that price? I figure if we're going to get a fan table, we should probably get some promotional stuff to give away, but unfortunately, that would cost even more money.

I'm still willing to chip in for the table. I'm also going to start stocking up on some small stuff, like notepads, sticky pads, etc. that are Legion-y. I'm thinking of having some more stickers made up of the animated logo but don't know if DC would balk at me giving them away. Not like I could afford to have more than 100 or so made anyway.

I decided to start looking for a room since I've always heard that accomodations are tough for this. The hotels around the convention center all show as unavailable already. (I imagine many of them have blocks of rooms held by SDCC but I don't know when those will become available.

I was able to make a reservastion (from Wed 7/23 through Sun 7/27) at the HOLIDAY INN SAN DIEGO - ON THE BAY, 1355 NORTH HARBOR DRIVE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92101. Rooms are available starting at $229/night ($219 if you are willing to prepay, which I was not willing to do.) Looks like it's about 1.5 miles from the convention center and it seems to be on a trolly stop which sounds kind of neat (so is the Convention Center) laugh

Figured I would reserve a room and then see what happens with the rooms SDCC makes available. I can always cancel 24 before scheduled arrival.

Well, that really ticks me off. The guy at the desk at the Marriott where I stayed said to check back at the end of August -- 11 months. Now I go to the Web site, and see they're already booked. I should have booked Aug. 1. Aargh!!!!!

Best employee rate is at the Oceanside Residence Inn, 36 miles away for $45 a night. Add a zero to the end and I could stay at the Marriott right next door to the con. No employee discount.

I'm willing to throw in money for a fan table.

Even if I don't actually go, which I have to assume is a possibility given the hotel situation.

People who've offered to kick in $$ for a table:

Abin
Seymour
Lightning Lad
Miner
FC
Deddy
Yellow Kid

Anyone else? Then we choose a volunteer laugh to collect the cash (Kent? I PM'd you!) and get this piano moving!

I don't have much money atm (since I'm jobless) but that should be a temporary situation, so I'm willing to see what I can do. I'm also trying to find a friend to crash with because I really don't see myself being able to pay $200-something/night. But, no matter what (summer school, jobs, etc.), I plan on being there. Probably won't take the train again, though. wink

What is it?

Fan table?

How much?

Why?

I really need to read whole threads. Is there a Schaum's Outline on this one somewhere?

The ultimate meet-up is at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con.

The fan table would be a table we purchase as a group. The cost would be $700 if we pay by January. The purpose is to make contact with other fans and get them to join our site. However, we would also be using it as a base for meeting. San Diego is a big con and meeting up is difficult on the main floor (fan tables are on the mezzanine (sp?) )

I'm realizing this meet-up will be about two months before my wedding next year. I think I'll drop hints in the weeks before that I have cold feet and am running of to California. laugh

RE: the table:

Cramer suggested I tackle this. I am willing to do so, but it'll be a couple days before I can print out the form, let alone mail it.

Eight people (excluding myself for the moment) splitting US$700 is US$87.50 each (or about $90 CDN), all things being equal.

To the best of my knowledge, those of you who have offered to pay have a more reliable stream of income than poor-student I, so my contribution here will be organization, postage and a heart-felt "thank you," if nobody minds.

If someone else doesn't step forward by this weekend, I'll assume it's my ball to run with.

update:
we have a 9th person, someone who is chipping in $50.
If our listed 8 people each paid $80, I'd chip in the difference.

Kent, if you don't mind taking up the mantle of organizing it, that would be great. I just don't have the time to do it and would hate us to miss the deadline because of me. Count me in for whatever $$$ we need, full split or more.

I'm happy to contribute for the table, too. Let me know when/whom/how to pay!


...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

I thought for sure I had offered to contribute as well but I see I omitted it in expressing my enthusiasm for the "idea" of a fan table. I'm in for a full share (or more if needed)
