I just wanted to say that I bought my plane tickets today for AX.
Also, AX just announced more hotels with AX group rates. You might want to get in on one of the lower room rates while they are available.

Sooo...

Are you going to be there?

Is Slugfest being planned yet? Please discuss it here!

I'll be there. I have a room at the Westin already booked (I had a room at the Hyatt, but they screwed me over, so I changed it).

My wife & I will be there helping Curt , Sat - Mon.
I will be doing some scouting of resturants for a Slugfest and will make announcements about it when it gets closer to the date (most likely late may / early june)

Not really sure this year. Both of my summer classes are being offered online, but my culminating paper has to be in by 7/1. Unless the lineup for this year's con is extraordinary in some way, I'd say no for 2007. However, Comic Con looks like a definite yes. I really want to meet Ray Bradbury and Neil Gaiman.

Not many people say both.

I have applied for a cel panel slot on Saturday June 30th. Last year the AX staff took a while to respond. Ideally, I would like to get a panel at either 5 or 6 pm. I would have considered Friday as well, but I am flying back from Tokyo on Thursday and would be too jet-lagged to be of much use on Friday. Hopefully, there will be a corresponding RS gathering for dinner later on Saturday.

If someone local is willing to plan an out-of-con gathering, can we have it at a well-lit place this year? While last year was fun, I could barely see the people sitting at my table to talk to them, let alone any of the gorgeous cels they had brought with them.

One of the problems that comes up in finding a place that meets several criteria.

A - Open Late
B - Takes large groups
C - Affordable
D - Nearby
E - Has decent food

The only sollution to this issue would be to hold SF earlier in the evening, but this would cut into programming and events.

I have registered!

Now I just need to find a hotel room . . . and find out how many people will actually be going with me.

I (w/friends) will be at the Courtyard Marriott that is 0.5 mile away on 1st Street. Rooms are $199, but all the "con rate" rooms have been sold out in a bad way.

I like the Courtyard Marriott because they have really yummy make-it-yourself waffles with the breakfast buffet!

I just received a notification from the AX committee that they are still setting up their workshop and panel discussion registration and may take a while to assign times. I'll keep everybody appraised when and if there will be a cel panel. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this works out.

I will be there!!!

I'll be staying with my AX buddy Kata this year. YAY!!!!!!

I can't wait to see everyone again.

Will your cel panel cover how to paint a cel and proper cel preserving techniques? I know there was a panel last yr at AX- but due to scheduling conflicts I wasn't able to attend.

C-ya all there- it'll be my first time at Long Beach.
