Buff, NY Celebration 5 Rumors

[rebelscum]

SWAN reports: Celebration V is very likely in 09, with Chicago the frontrunner as the venue.

Sansweet: We are hoping to do a Celebration in the U.S. next year, and we?ll be looking at Midwest locations like Chicago as well as some further east

 

Further east would be better! If Buffalo was set up better, it would be a great location considering the proximity to the Canadian border.

We'd save on hotels too!!!

 

Nice pipe dream, but I am looking forward to Indianapolis again if possible or Chicago.

 

Indy was fun and a very nice city to visit.

What about Cleveland? 3 hours away

 

Oh no visions of butt cheek impressions on my window......going fuzzy.........!

 

Indy definitely was fun. I'd love to go there again for a celebration. If they are up for locations farther east, the ones I would think of that would be good are: Boston, Cleveland, NYC, and Toronto.

Jaime dueling buttcheeks would be the least of your worries...two words: the nug. Nuff said

 

How many hours to chicago?

 

I think its 8

 

Indy was 9 if I remember correctly.

 

Indy was 9, plus you had the time zone change. Chicago takes about 8-8 1/2 hours to get to. It would be nice for it to be closer again

 

Looks like a trip to Chicago takes you through Canada too.

 

Not the dreaded Canadia!

 

Yeah it would suck having to get a passport to go through Canada to get to Chicago

 

It took 7-7 1/2 hours for us to get to Indy, Chicago should be a beeze.

 

Through Canada is faster to Detroit. Passports are not required yet, but probably will be by that time...

 

8.5 - 9 hours



((I go almost every 6 months... ))

 

That is so doable!! Cant wait for another carivan of courage.

 

You don't really save much time going through Canada to get to Chicago, and with the border delays NOW, it will only be worse later.

There are many facilities in the Chicago area that could handle a Celebration size convention.

We'd probably drive to this one, depending upon when it's held.

 

One word: SWEET! Something closer to home would be great and definitely doable. I am so glad they are not thinking CA again!

The return of the Dueling Ninja Butcheeks of DOOM! Just no one get run off the road by the oh-so-wonderful truckers! Dirty stinkin' Buicks too!

Maybe I can actually get Rob to go to this one. And you thought the Clarence Festival two years ago was something.... oh, Rob at C5 would be priceless.

 

Homeland Security says US citizens returning to America won't need passport until June 2009

 

You forget Gil that you and I kinda don't look that American. It would almost be like Born in East LA with Cheech Marin

 

They'd have to fly us south to deport us though...

 

I wonder if CV will not happen now. We're almost at September, and there hasn't been an announcement yet. Many would have thought an announcement would have taken place at ComicCon.

 

I with you on that. If they were planning something an announcement would of come at SDDC. THey were too high on Force Unleashed and Clone Wars the tv show. Plus if I remember correct the last two of these were announced by September of the year preceding the event.

Maybe George was scared that CV could be construed as a 10th anniversary celebration of the birth of JarJar (Episode 1)

 

Yikes! That would be a bad idea.

any more rumors or news on this subject?
