Title: Planning for CV, Aug. 12-15, 2010
Post by: TD-7716 on October 01, 2009, 02:50:54 PM: Just wondering if there was a group going - If so I would like to start planning and getting ready before all rooms are booked - I know that there is no date or location yet for the event but if there is a group going we can be on the ball when it is announced.. :D

Post by: Lufta Shif on October 01, 2009, 03:31:58 PM: OMG, I almost had a heart attack when I saw your post! I thought the announcement had been made!

I am going. No matter where. No matter when. I am going!

Post by: Trumby on October 01, 2009, 07:04:41 PM: I too thought this meant something had been announced! o.o

As long as it doesn't interfere with other things I already have planned, I am definitely going.

Post by: tavrikgannon on October 02, 2009, 08:14:07 AM: I am planning on going, too. Just waiting to hear on the release of the venue location. Hopefully, it will be somewhere that Drago and I can fly into, on the cheap. Same with the lodging.

Part of me is hoping it is Orlando. I have family in the area, so I think I would have a place to crash! But, at this point, I don't care where it is, as long as I can make it, I will be happy!

Title: Re: planning for CV
Post by: Drago Seron on October 02, 2009, 11:15:43 PM: Bill, I fly for free into all three possible cities. Orlando would work better for us. My wife has a friend who is willing to put us up and if you stay with your family we are covered.

Post by: Lufta Shif on October 08, 2009, 08:45:39 PM: No, all signs point to a CV in the east. Wouldn't it be awesome to all be on the same flight out of Portland? 8)
Title: Re: planning for CV
Post by: Jabbasdead on October 08, 2009, 09:54:44 PM: can we get a group rate.
Title: Re: planning for CV
Post by: Lufta Shif on October 09, 2009, 08:24:54 AM: Good question. I just remember how fun it was on the Denver-Indianapolis flight I took for CIII. :D Most of passengers were headed to the convention. It was like the Celebration started on the plane. The pilot even made an announcement to welcome us all (and to explain to the rest of the passengers why there was so many SW t-shirted folks on board passing around SW Poptarts, M+Ms, etc.)

Post by: Jabbasdead on October 09, 2009, 08:53:12 AM: that sounds pretty cool, now if they would just annouce already so we can start planning.

Post by: Quinlanvos on October 09, 2009, 09:47:41 AM: Do we have a resident travel agent in CCG or KB? Group discount might be a good thing right?!

Cool, I'll take you up on that.
Title: Re: planning for CV
Post by: Volund Starfire on October 21, 2009, 05:23:29 PM: I'd be up for that. Heck, if we could all book a series of rooms then we could even save UPS charges on our armors and ship them together too!
Title: Re: planning for CV
Post by: Lufta Shif on October 21, 2009, 05:26:14 PM: Let's hope the CV announcement will be this weekend Star Wars Fan Days (Plano, TX) Steve Sansweet and Dave Filoni are discussing the "Future of SW" there.

3. Anime Expo I'm guessing.
Title: Re: planning for CV
Post by: Trumby on October 22, 2009, 11:33:33 AM: Actually, neither of those two, jabba. I'm not a comic guy (I know..I know <.<) so all three are anime cons. Anime LA, Fanime, and Anime Expo.

Plus Wondercon is the same weekend as Sakura-con next year.

Post by: Lufta Shif on December 03, 2009, 08:31:52 AM: I have never been to Atlanta's DragonCon, but I think I can safely say that CV will be the SW fan event of the year. Not to miss!
Title: Re: planning for CV
Post by: tavrikgannon on December 03, 2009, 08:36:45 AM: Looking to do this one, myself. Dragon Con, I can do another year.

Post by: tavrikgannon on December 03, 2009, 01:34:45 PM: Where there is a will, there is a way. I am planning on being there for this one! I heard that the Mercs will be be having a table there, this year. So, that should be pretty cool. I'm all for meeting more Mercs. Besides my friends in a yahoo group, I imagine I would be spending all my time with them at this convention!

Should be fun, despite the heat. Good thing for being indoors!

Title: Re: Planning for CV, Aug. 12-15, 2010
Post by: Volund Starfire on December 03, 2009, 04:17:10 PM: I'd be careful about waiting. So far hotels around the area have jumped their prices. This morning, when making the reservations, there was a meeting regarding the dates. An hour after placing the reservations, the prices jumped by about $20 a night.

Post by: Drago Seron on December 04, 2009, 05:52:01 AM: Tickets are ready and uber cheap. Well, for me at least. Tav, Jabba. Get ahold of me over at the Merc's website for travel plans. Taking Orlando by storm.
Title: Re: Planning for CV, Aug. 12-15, 2010
Post by: tk147 on December 04, 2009, 12:42:45 PM: I don't plan on buying now.

Prices for a $40 room went to $200 within 2 hours of the announcement.

I'm waiting on the 501st, or the volunteer, block plus to see who else in the Legion gets a deal and needs to share.

So, thanks, but I'm waiting :mrgreen:
