Robert,Ming, Britt and I are planning to drive. I know it takes a lot longer but the gas would be cheaper than paying to fly, especially if we all chip in and then we won't have to worry about renting a car when we get there.

If Dale or myself do end up flying, we could chip in with you guys to rent a van. Are you guys planning on taking one (or more) of your cars?

Just to let you guys know, i'll be driving down from LA to SD, on that Wedenesday, to make it down to check in to my hotel and go to preview night. If anyone flys into LAX I can pick them up and drive to SD. I'll have room for 4 in my car. FYI.

Right now the plan is to take Robert's car, since his has more trunk space than my car (not that we expect tons of luggage but you never know).

In exactly 4 months, we'll be in San Diego, and since the February meeting, here's a list of who said they were pretty sure and/or definitely going, and would be most likely staying at our hotel (being 4 people in 4 rooms):

Matt
Dale
Robert
Ming
Rachel
Brittany
Gale
Sharon Rose
Leah
Britt (from LA)
Alison
Anne M.
Kathy (+3)

That's 16, the max we could put, unless more people don't mind sleeping on the floor, or rotate on who gets the beds/sofa. At this month's meeting, more people were interested in going and that's fine. But we shouldn't overcrowd the rooms (the bathroom shifts alone would be hell!) So if you are pretty sure you want to go AND stay at the hotel, please post so we can get a better idea of the total, and figure out arrangements.

Also, who's going to the LOTR concert on the 20th? We should decide and get tickets soon!

FYI - Just booked the $59 each way flight from OAK to SAN via a southwest.com internet schedule for my bro and I. For those who won't be driving and want to join us here is our itinerary:

Itinerary:
Wednesday, July 19 - OAKLAND CA(OAK) to SAN DIEGO CA(SAN)
Flight 794 M
Depart OAKLAND CA(OAK) at 9:40AM and
Arrive in SAN DIEGO CA(SAN) at 11:05AM

Monday, July 24 - SAN DIEGO CA(SAN) to OAKLAND CA(OAK)
Flight 421 M
Depart SAN DIEGO CA(SAN) at 1:50PM and
Arrive in OAKLAND CA(OAK) at 3:10PM


With taxes, it come's out to $138.60 each.

**So Book now, since this price is as low as it gets. Trust me, I've checked everywhere and won't always be this way.

I'd just like to add that there were other flights leaving on the 19th that arrived an hour or two earlier or later, but just in case Dale posted ours for anyone that wanted to book the same flight as us (especially if you're first-timers to ComicCon or San Diego in general). As for arriving on Monday, there weren't any available flights for that price on Sunday (as of tonight), but keep checking if you want to leave Sunday night.

I'm still planning to go. Which reminds me, I need to start figuring out what vacation time I'll have by the time July gets here.

How long is the drive down?

The drive is roughly 8 hours as I recall. It depends if you hit traffic in LA, how many stops you make, how fast you drive - etc. Hey, you can bring the new Niriti costume you are woking on!

Taeriel - The drive is roughly 8 hours as I recall. It depends if you hit traffic in LA, how many stops you make, how fast you drive - etc. I drove last year and plan to drive again because it's easier to bring my costumes in a car. Hey, you can bring the new Niriti costume you are woking on!

Besides the LOTR concert (is anyone going to it?), here's another event happening that weekend:


At Spreckels Theater:
One Man Star Wars Trilogy (by Charlie Ross)
July 19-23, 2006 (tickets $12.75 - $37.75)


http://www.broadwaysd.com/starwars.php


It seems like Friday night would be the best night to go.

Whoa, for a second, I thought it said Charlie Rose. THAT would have been something to see.
