San Diego Comicon 2008

Bovine13, Pdisc, Hdogg

I'm just a couple hours away, and will try to get tix.... only problem is I don't have paypal.... I can try calling the number on the web site and find out how to pay.

UPDATE:
Last week I went online and paid for a four day pass, and got a confirmation email with a barcode they scan at the convention, in order to get the name badge.
Question for those that did this online before, do they send info as to whether they have sold out the tickets?
That phone number on the website is just an info recording and a place to leave a message....

Also any hotel updates?,
I will probably stay Friday and Saturday nights at a minimum...

Hey Scott,whats the head count for preds meeting up. I think we were up to 20 last time....HOW BAD ASS WOULD THAT BE
 
As of last count 29 total. 25 Preds and 4 support. Is everyone who said yes still coming? Who else is in that isnt on the list? Just post and I will update list and count.
 
:unsure: I have 2 more support people coming as well,thats including onee of hdoggs friends.Should be fun at the con.....and where ever we end up after
 
Bovine13, Pdisc

I'm in :unsure: (got 4day pass & hotel room for Fri and Sat nites)

So add Ei'luj to the list B)

(answering my own question upthread about 4day pass: if after registering you get the email with the barcode, it means you are good to go)

Hey all. I have had a few pms about con details. I have kind of taken the reigns on this meet-up and will do my best to help us all have a great time. There isnt much in stone as of now but, myself and Pdisc are starting to get plans and ideas together to make it easier on us all. Myself, am flying in Thursday afternoon. We have discussed suiting up possibly Friday but, Saturday for sure. Sunday we are going back up to the con just to hang, walk around, and buy cool stuff as we see the need.

Friday: Go to the con, check celebrity meet and greets for saturday, check out the layout of the con and figure out the hot spots we need to hit. Im sure that night we will get together and hang for dinner and drinks or whatever. Also, that night will be good for planning out the final details about Saturday and what others want to do.

Saturday: This day may start early. Have as many of us in suits meet up at the specified place and time for the group photo with The Lair banner if we have one. After the photo regroup and all walk in together like we own the place! The problem in this plan is the logistics of when people will arrive, be checked in at the con and have their badges, and be able to get to the specified meeting spot suited up and ready to roll out. Im sure most of us would like to get to the con as soon as possible. At the Con, I and a few others would like to stay in a group as much as possible. That night we would like to get together again to hang, dinner, drinks, whatever.

Sunday: Is just a free day for everyone. Do what you want. A few of us will be together in Lair shirts at the con to walk around, hang, shop etc. That day will be recovery day from Saturday im sure.

I have a room at the Marriot right next door to the con. Myself, PDisc, HDogg, Seahunterr, and TMI are suiting up in my room Saturday morning. I can probobly allow a few more to do this if its cool with the other guys. I also have rental car so, I may be able to help some of you get around. I hope I can do it but, who knows what will come up.

As far as con events, the Stan Winston meet-up is goal one for myself and a few others. Have Stan in a pic with as many Preds at his back as we can get. We are there to have a good time and get the word out about The Lair and who we are. If you wanna venture off on your own thats cool too. But the larger the Clan the better chance we have. Stormtroopers are gonna have some competition this year I hope. Each Pred we have is good for ten of those guys.

As soon as everyone has their plans in stone, please pm me with the following details:
When you are arriving and getting your con badges.
How many in your party, who is suiting up, and if you have a person willing to run support.
Where you are staying and when you can arrive for the group photo.
If and when you are coming to the group dinner Saturday night and who is coming.
These will give myself and PDisc a basis to get the plans together. If we need reservations, help transporting people, etc.

I dont mean to be overbearing and try to run this good time for everyone. There was only five of us (Two in suits and three support) last year and it was friggin nuts! Getting water, food, on spot suit repairs, celebrity's assistants wanting you here or there at this time for a photo op, TV and video camera crews wanting this and that from you, crowd control, all these things are gonna come into play. Trust me and the others when we say this. It is gonna be a blast but, a plan of attack wont hurt. 10-20 Preds in a group moving, taking pics, water and air breaks, etc. is gonna be chaos at best. I am ready for it!! Bring it on!!!

I added a countdown clock link at the end of the first post.

Sounds like a work out and a half. IF I was going, I would have to volunteer as a naked human victim, running away from you all.
:D
 
:p This is going to be flat out thee coolest time.........................Scott,we have to hit up The Yard House again.....and for those of you who dont know,its a resturaunt with over 100 beers on tap and really good food.Theres plenty of cool places to check out and within walking distance of the Con................and YES........everything Scott just mentioned.........is very true.Look foward to it :D
 
Ei'luj has pm'd me with her details and she has a room at the marriot. The same hotel as I, next to the con! She has offered for some to suit up in her room as well. Thank you for the offer. My room is pretty full as is. So, if there are some who would like to take advantage of the dressing room please contact her and work that out amongst yourselves.
 
Pdisc,

100 beers??!!??
within walking distance of the con??!!?? how far?
Are they ready to serve some intergalactic customers????? :p

(this idea is from somebody that casino crawled Vegas after the renfair there.... in full Braveheart regalia including face paint (no blades, couldn't get 'em on the plane...) back in '98)

But not sure about the rules on masks in public places :D :p

Bovine13,

Your'e welcome :p
If any body needs suitup room, the room has either two double beds or one king, so there shouldn't be any problem with space.
