If you're planning three nights, then I gather we won't overnight in LA on the 18th? Fine by me, either way. It probably makes more sense; what can one really see in LA in a single day, after all.
I'm up for sharing a room in Vegas; not sure what John's plans are.
Mechana was tentatively planning on arriving on the 17th, if I recall right. So I guess leaving Vegas on the morning of the 19th makes sense based upon her plans, too.
It's about 6 to 6.5 hours driving, according to web directions, so we should be able to check-in and hit the preview show with the others by evening. Kent, my plans are far from finalized, two nights with a stopover in LA is also a distinct possibility, whichever way lets us met the most Legion Worlders face to face is my preference. Sharing a room is also a possibility, but at this point, but for reasons previously mentioned. I'd hesitate to commit to that at this point. <span style="font-size: 30px;"> C'Mon guys! Join up! Let's make the Vegas/San Diego get together the biggest LW Gathering in History!</span>

I'm still thinking of going. If I can get working again, I might be able to make the time then. It would be a trip to meet the gang and stop in Vegas.
There's a Motel 6 near the center, much more my budget these days. I'll let you guys know if I can make it.
Just spouting off.

I've been going over and over my days-off and financials, but I just can't seem to find a way to make this work this year...  I'd love to come and hang out again though! Definately in the future and in other locations though...and there's always the off-chance I could make it work. I hope everyone has a blast though! Kent, continue to pump everyone for the massive all LMBP/Legion World get together in 2008...make them sign a contract in blood!

Don't think I'll be able to make it to SD this year... I don't have much vacation and I'm saving it up for later in the year.
I was in SD earlier in the year, though... it was absolutely beautiful! Great food, too... I can definitely recommend a few places to eat for those who will be in town.
I stopped over in Las Vegas over the weekend briefly, but only saw the inside of the airport. I would love to go back again sometime soon...

Actually, the wheels are in motion, as I start thinking of ways to foil your attempt to go...

So far nine of us in one place at one time is the record, isn't it?
That's not including three "honorary members" either!

Hey, I have a wonky (a.k.a. stupid) question... Do sketches cost money? And, if yes, about how much? And would it be weird to propose to Geoff if he decides to show up while I'm there? Not that that would stop me, mind you...

Well the artists do have to make a living... As an example I paid $20 for the Sheena Sketch that Loser Recolored for me as Pagan Lass, and $15 to have Cartoon Lad do an original Abin Quank Drawing for me. And what would be wierd (and wonderful at the very same time) would be if he Accepted your proposal.

different artists charge different amounts, given factors like their popularity, and the complexity of what you ask.
It wasn't a stupid question; it's quite legit, if you've never sought out sketches before.

Kent's right; nothing stupid about it.
One thing to note, especially for San Diego, is that artists who do sketches at the DC booth don't charge. They generally won't have the time to do something too complex, but it's free. You just have to wait in line and hope they get to you. Checking out the booth early to see who is scheduled for the day is a good idea.
As for the artists' tables, Kent's got the gist of it. It's a good idea to go there early as well, to make sure you get your request in.
As for the proposal, I saw his girlfriend do exactly that at a DC panel several years ago.

Cali, I also have it on good authority that Geoff himself likes to draw sketches (as does Brian Micheal Bendis) but people just never ask them for them. Geoff, of course, likes to draw Wally.

Okay so what's the schedule look like then? I don't think I can make a full week of it all.
Caliente, are you still looking for a roommate?
When's the big meet and greet in Vegas?
All my sheets have print patterns, can I still use them for togas?
Just spouting off.

In Dallas, I got Mark Waid to sketch some dialog on my Legion Poster. OK he needed some prompting from Steve Wacker. Thank you Steve. And Thank you Mark.
