Yep. Somewhere I can stash my costumes and crash during the night not too far from the convention would be nice.

LOTR concert - I definitely want to attend that! I'm pondering tickets, though. I assume that the lawn seating is just sitting on a lawn, with no real seats? What about grandstand, does that have seating? I'm wondering if it might be worth the cost of an extra $5 to be able to sit for the concert. (On seats, i mean, not on lawn) Also, any idea if we can wear (LotR) costumes to the concert?

kay_dee: yes, I will definitely bring the Nirrti costume!

Given the way that driving time would add even more to the vacation time, I'm starting to ponder flying down after all.

I was also pondering the seat thing. Often Lawn style seating means more of a picnic style on the grass with a blanket and no chairs are provided. I need to ask my friends again if they want to go, and if they don't I may just go without them and meet you guys!

Can't wait to see Niriti!

Some members from SDSWS are going, so maybe we can meet them at the concert. As for flying, I believe the rates that Dale and I got were also the same from San Jose, which is closer to you.

I faxed mine in the other day. I hope they got it. I guess I'll check my credit card in a few days to see if it was charged. If not, I'll just redo it with snail mail and pay the extra five bucks I guess sad

Do they traditionally send any kind of confirmation or do you just wait to see if your check is cashed or whatever?

Hey all,

I was asked by SCG to let everyone know of the 501st dinner that will be goin on for the Friday night at CC. Dale asked that I post it here in this thread. It's $40.00 ($41.50 paypal) but it is all you can eat!! grin Also confirmed for the dinner are:

Steve Sansweet, Mary Franklin, the Rubio brothers (Troops fan film), Ray Park, Karen Travis (Republic Commando author and Clone/Mando expert for SW Insider)

If anyone knows any other SW related celebs/vips they would like to invite please contact Cris of SCG. His email is in the body of this message. If you're not 501st, email him and mention you're a FF member and have done events with the 501st and that a 501st member mentioned this to you. So please confirm with him before sending payment so there is no confusion:

DATE: Friday July 21 2006
TIME: 8 PM
LOCATION: Samba Grill 510 4th Ave, Gaslamp Horton Plaza Level 5 San Diego

MAP: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=horton+plaza+san+diego&ll=32.713608,-117.161036&spn=0.025095,0.05343

Cucumber and Tomato salad
Potato Salad
Baked Potato

Entree:
All you can eat Brazilian fire roasted meats carved at your table (about 15 different cuts of meat carved tableside)

including:

Salt encrusted beef Picanha
Fillet wrapped in bacon
Sirloin of beef
Brazilian Sausages
Lamb
Chicken with cheese
Pork loin
Pork Ribs
Beef Prime Rib

Soft Drinks included.

WHO MAY ATTEND: There is a reason we are calling this the 501st and FRIENDS dinner. While the majority of people in attendance will most certainly be 501st members, we highly encourage you to invite your Spouse, family members, close friends etc. Are you not actually a member but a costumer that has participated in one of our events? You are absolutely welcome to join us. I have estimated our attendance at 70 people, but the room we have reserved can actually hold well in excess of 100 people, so if you plan to be in San Diego please join us!



BASE PRICE: $40 per person, (children 12 and under can eat for $11)
NOTE: In order to make this as affordable as possible for everyone, helping to pay for Celebrities and VIP Guests is OPTIONAL.

Option 1: SPONSOR A CELEB!

If you know a particular celebrity and would like to invite them to dinner you may pay the entire cost of their meal for them as well as your own. You personally invite your guest, make all of the arrangements, and sit next to them at dinner. We feel that this is a more personal touchy feely way of doing it this year.

For a list of currently sponsored VIPS and other potential guests please email me (kimncris@netzero.net) or check this thread on the SCGarrison boards. (must be 501st to view unfortunately)

http://www.southerncaliforniagarrison.com/smf/index.php/index.php?topic=593.0


Option 2: Donate a little extra to the cause and we'll do the inviting.

Don't know anyone in particular, but still want to help get some cool guests? Donate a little or a lot, whatever you like. $5.01 has a nice ring to it... It's up to you. All donations will be used to invite as many VIPs as possible to dine in comfort with us, courtesy of the 501st. Any extra money left over (if any) will be donated to the Children's Hospital of San Diego.

RSVP: We need to be able to tell the restaurant a firm number 1 week prior to the event. Payment must be received no later than July 14, 2006. Hopefully this is enough time for everyone to save up. If you know now that you will be attending, please post here and how many guests you intend to bring so that we can keep the restaurant apprised of our numbers.

HOW TO PAY:

PAYPAL: kimncris@netzero.net

Please send me $41.50 per person and the names of everyone in your party, plus any dontations you would like to make to the celebrity meal plan.
Please include your REAL NAMES, your 501st forum SCREEN NAMES and TK numbers with payments so that there is no confusion about who is paying and who is paid for. If you do not yet have a TK number, please just include your affiliation with the 501st


Snail Mail

Please send $40.00 per person and the names of everyone in your party, plus any dontations you would like to make to the celebrity meal plan.
Please include your REAL NAMES, your 501st forum SCREEN NAMES and TK numbers with payments so that there is no confusion about who is paying and who is paid
for. If you do not yet have a TK number, please just include your affiliation with the 501st
Cash is OK but I really do not reccommend sending cash in the mail. Checks and money orders are much better.




Thanks everyone, and we look forward to seeing everyone in San Diego!

Thanks for the info'elmo happy So, is there anyone from the Fan Force who plans to go? It sounds like fun, but I'd only feel comfortable going as a 'friend' if some of the 501st/Fan Force members I knew planned to attend (Robert, Matt, Dale off the top of my head).
