Have we selected a restaurant in downtown San Diego yet? If it's Hooters, I'll bring my bib so I can enjoy the chicken wings & the ladies.

[BronzeBruce13]

Wow.. you can bid on chicken wings and hooters chicks? sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

 

 

oooooooooohh, Odin I see you edited that to "bib"... that make sense.

[Bonds25]

I'm not sure yet. I need to find out how many people are attending, and then find a place that takes reservations. Bronzebruce, why aren't you attending?

[dam60]

I really wish that I could be there but maybe next year. I had a great time at the last forum dinner and know that this one will be a great time too!

 

Have a beer for me,

 

DAM

Matt... I'd LOVE to... BUT my god, I'd have to expect expenses in the neighborhood of $1K at the barest minimum from what I hear to attend and stay for 4 days (probably a good deal more)... yikes!

 

I know this is the biggest and best convention there is, but damn! I can't stop thinking about what great book(s) I could buy for $1-$1.5K by staying home.

 

I thought about taking up an offer to stay with a customer/friend who lives nearby, but he made that suggestion almost a year ago, I only know him through email/phone and I'm not sure how i feel about asking him... plus I'd still need to find a way there.

 

Maybe I could rent a car at the airport and sleep in it near the convention??

 

I wish we found a big rented house (like a MTV House Party) where we all can kick in a few hundred and party are asses off at night, BBQ, drink and have a reasonably affordable place to crash.

 

What does everyone expect to pay to attend (all expenses except comics)?

Who has the best plan overall (quality of accommodations and price)?

 

[ubiquiti]

You got me down twice - once as a for sure - once as a maybe.

I'm in - provided we don't go someplace that is silly expensive. Unless Greggy is buying.

[sckao]

 

 

hmmm..

 

Jet Blue to Long Beach.. $99 each way. $200 (They don't fly to SD yet..)

Rental car and gas: $200 (Long Beach is an hour away or more from SD)

Con tickets: $60 (full price at the door)

Hotel: @ ~$75 a night $300 (10+ miles away from the Con)

Food: $50 (junkfood diet and food from the hospitality room)

 

Yeah, I can see how that would add up fast even with everything at the rock bottom in terms of pricing...

That's because you're doubly special!

 

Actually, I believe CGC is paying for at least half of the dinner, and I'll be getting reservations at a place that's reasonably priced.

Bru,

U could probably rent a cottage (with kitchen) on the Coronado beach area if u had enough lead time. Jam 8 guys into there & bbq. Use cracked slabs as frisbees if u don't mind the beach sand getting inside your Youngblood #1 cgc 7.0.

Is this dinner a private function or can anyone join? I'll be travelling to San Diego for the Con and would love to meet other collectors.

[FlyingDonut]

Will somebody PLEASE check out the "Lost Valley Collection" at the Basement Comix booth - Al is teasing me. I've heard amazing things.

You want me to buy all the books off your list and flip them to you?

[shadroch]

If you don't mind the hassle of an hour wait to get back in,rooms and meals in TJ, Mejico are a real bargain. $30 American goes a real long way down south. Easy bus run to the show. Did it a couple of years ago and had a blast.

How long did it take for the burning sensation when you urinate to subside?

Don't worry...we'll keep her company for the rest of the convention while you are incapacitated in bed due to your over drinking!
