Official Worldcon 2006 Thread

Costco actually has really good food.  Still have two slots in my hotel room to fill- if you go, then only one more.
See you there, I hope.

Christopher: you're in luck! I am broke and can't go to WorldCon. So if you wanna buy my membership, that would be awesome! Just email me and we can work out the details to transfer the membership. shrain78 @ yahoo. com

[Chimera]

I don't fly out till Monday morning, so if you came to SD Sunday night that would be fun. I won't have any transportation so you'd have to meet me there. I'm staying in the Marriott by the convention center.

Uh, I realized that San Diego is still 2 hours away from New Port. So it's looking kind of unlikely. But I'll keep in touch with you--maybe it will work out!

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Stacer, I dropped you a private message.

I kind of assume chimera isn't anxious to meet me...

[Chimera]

Actually, I'd be happy to.  

I assumed if I could get together with stacer, if you were available, you and your wife would come along too.

But, like I said, it's looking less and less likely...

[Spriggan]

Maybe it's a little too late, but shouldn't you three make a comic-con thread for this discussion?

[stacer]

There actually was one somewhere, but we lost it. Sorry for the tangent. I'm leaving this afternoon, so that conversation is essentially over.

[Christopher]

And I still have room in my car.

Oldie, do you still have room in your car? How I'm going to get to LA is still my biggest question.

Anyone else driving down who I could catch a ride with if Oldie isn't driving?

Yes, I need a place to stay. Let me know on a guess on splitting room cost so I can budget for it.

Shrain, sounds good. I'll send you an e-mail later today. That's an "attending" membership, right? Do you know how to transfer those? What was it? $150, $175?

Thanks to everyone. It will be fun...I'm looking forward to it.

Here's the e-mail address to get ahold of me:  EDITED ON 1/24/08 . E-MAIL NO LONGER USED

[EUOL]

Okay, let's do this official like.  I'll start listing the cars on the first page.  Oldie, who's in your car, and how much room do you have, and which day are you leaving?

Everyone else, post if you have room, if you are driving, and which days you'll be at the con.

[Shrain]

Email sent, Christopher. I'm sure everyone will help you get the ride and hotel sorted out.

Oh, and EUOL, can you remove me from the list since I'm too broke to make it there? (I spent my last penny on two copies of Mistborn, you see. What a great wedding present, huh! )

Ok. Here's the rundown:

My SUV seats 8 including the driver. I have room for 7 people on the way up, but I'm picking up my three boys in California for the return trip so I'll only have room for 4 on the way back. We can stagger between coming/going or I can do 4 people round-trip. The only person that has a confirmed spot right now is BLCDrayco.

My departure times are negotiable. Right now I'm planning on leaving for Cali on Tuesday (the 22nd) morning-ish, and leaving to return to Utah on the 27th. My only reason for leaving on Sunday is that I'd like to visit the ward I grew up in, but I'm willing to forego that since there are extenuating circumstances. (Don't ask.)

Any takers?

[Eric James Stone]

I'm leaving Wednesday after work (5pm or so) from Orem.  Staying in Vegas overnight, hitting Star Trek: The Experience Thursday morning and plan to arrive in LA in that afternoon.

Driving back all the way on Sunday.

I've got room for three more each way.

[Rosencrantz]

Hey Euol, can I jump in your car for a ride both directions?

[Christopher]

EOUL.....I would also like to ride with you...because if would be better for me to leave Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Please put me on your list.

Also, I have a question about WorldCon memberships for you. I just sent you a PM.

Chris

[EUOL]

Folks,

Problem is, the entire writing group hit me up for seats.  How about this.  Oldie, why don't we caravan?  That's better anyway.  We'll all meet in a central location, split up by car, and keep an eye out for each other as we go.  


EDIT
I added Old One's car and Eric's car.  I just assumed that Old One would be able to chance leaving until Wednesday, since she said she was flexible.  Eric, I think that I'll have at least one taker for your car on the way out.  Either way, would you be willing to take back the extras from Charisa's car who can't come back in her car because of the kids?  If you decide to caravan back with us, that might be really convenient.  

Charisa, I'm thinking that we might be able to work sending seven with you on the way, then having Eric grab the extras on the way back.
