Abin-

so... you're letting us meet the real Pagan Lass? Cool!

We haven't set dates yet; I imagine we'll set either the 18th or 19th aside for travel, so we'd probably arrive over the weekend (15th and 16th). We haven't nailed it down yet.

For the Vegas portion, so far, it looks like you, your lady, me, legion-JOHN, and I wouldn't be surprised if STU wanted in, too.

It would be a shame for me not to attend - given that San Diego is relatively close for me. Why, I could even drive down and check out Buttonwillow on the way down. (Actually, there's nothing to see in Buttonwillow - it's just a truck stop in the central valley - but it has the best name ever.)

Kent, Alice's umm... I mean the real Pagan Lass's commitment to making the trip so far is a definate maybe, I'm just hoping a side trip to Vegas will be enough enducement to get her to go along.

But, either way I'm planning on going. The side trip to meet Scott and Caroline is a fantastic idea that just makes the prospect of this trip that much better.

Now I just have to figure out how to squeeze that much time off into my schedule...

Some day, some how, I will meet all of you, I swear

Just a reminder that the Comic-Con travel agency starts booking hotels this Wed. at 9 AM PST.

a quick glance through shows rooms are a-fillin quickly.

Kent,

I am definitely going. (to heck with being unemployed) So if you & miner want to book a room, count me in on sharing it.

I'm definite too... looking around the listings so far, we may have to find our own... most places on the Con list look booked solid, Weds to Fri, at least.

looking off-site, I found a Best Western way up in Old Town... not close to the Con, but it's close to the trolley line, so getting back and forth wouldn't be too hard.

It's $114 for 7/19, then goes up to $181 for the next three nights, then back down to $114 thereafter. Split up, that's not too bad.

If you haven't yet, I say go ahead and book this.

As soon as we know what days everyone would want to meet in Vegas, Caroline and I will book our rooms for there. Right now we are looking at staying at the Stratosphere. Cheaper than the Marriotts around town, even at employee rates. Plus they are doing a vampire themed stage show so I promised Caroline we'd go see that.

I'm looking at flying in on Saturday, 7/15, Scott.

Well it looks like I might be going after all. I'm thinking of booking a San Diego hotel room this weekend, once I make some room on my Visa!

Not sure about Vegas yet. Have to do some more research and see if it all fits into my budget.

Yes it would be a shame.

Semi. you HAVE to show this year! There are so many LWers comimg, it'd be a CRIME if you didn't!

In fact, all you California LWers better attend!

It's the Dallas and BOSTON of 2006!

guys i'm cool with whatever you want to do about Vegas as long as i get to go to Star Trek: the experience.

So would the Vegas plan be for the weekend prior for those going then? Like the 15th - 17th or 18th? We could probably come in on Sunday (16th) and leave on Wednesday (19th).

It certianly loks like the pre- weekend, Scott, based upon PMs I've gotten.

with further thought, the 16th sounds better to me to fly in on.

there's a question whether us SD-bound are overnighting in LA for the 18th? let's weigh in so Scott and Caroline can plan... I'm flexible either way.

But... but... ah, who'm I kidding. If I'm not in the DR, I'm so there. What month's it in?

If any of you are meeting at or centering on a location in L.A. or environs, I'd love to join you for dinner. I'm not at all sure I can swing even a day trip down to San Diego this year, frankly.

Cali-

Grey-

sounds like a great idea! It looks like there's at least four of us driving from Vegas, but everyone hasn't chimed in yet about the LA idea. Even if it doesn't work out, me or several of us may make a day trip up.

Semi, Cali, Grey, MEL, and all other Legion Worlders from California, or who just happen to be visiting Sunny California at the right time, just remember, the first round of drinks is my treat.

Now where can we find an "L" shaped table and a transplanted Aussie Waitress?

I really am going to try and come down this year. I'll try to book a hotel room within the next week or so. Any suggestions?

The next decision is whether to drive (the easiest), fly, or take the train.

The last concern I have is how much time I'd spend at the con. I know from Wondercon in SF that about 4 hours is my limit. I imagine that at SD that maybe increased a bit, but I can't see myself spending several whole days there. What else do people plan on doing while in San Diego?

Well...
for myself, whenever I make a San Diego trip I simply MUST spend a day in Tijuana.



Think of it as a "Search and Acquire" mission.


I've been debating whether or not I can make it out to SD in July. So put me down as a possible attendee. (it's all about the benjamins)
