Important Admin Post

How many of our members will be at the Chicago Con in August? And would anyone be interested in meeting up at some point?

ETA: I've counted 12 of us so far, with one possible. That should make for a pretty good group. I'm thinking Saturday will be the busiest day for us SGA fans, so maybe we can work something out for Friday or Sunday. We'll talk about it in the coming (eee!) weeks.

It goes without saying, I'll be there. Would love a group meet up. Great idea!

I'll be there! I'd love to meet up with you all.

It's just a short bus ride away for me, and yet, I won't be there. *is sad*

I'll be going as well and would love to meet fellow Flanites.

You know I'll be there. ♥

[identity profile] mercury973.livejournal.com 2010-07-26 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Me! *waves hands* I didn't get one of the Hewlett meet & greet tickets so we can join with those who didn't get a Flanigan meet & greet ticket and have a giant squee-fest.

I'll be arriving late Friday night and leaving Sunday evening. Anytime then works for me! See you guys there!

[identity profile] pezgirl7.livejournal.com 2010-07-26 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I might go just on Saturday, as long as I don't have to go alone. Did you guys just get a general admission ticket?

[identity profile] mercury973.livejournal.com 2010-07-26 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
OH yes! Please come if you can! JOE!!! DAVID!!! JASON!!! MICHAEL!!!
I'm just going for Saturday- I'm in seat T15, way in the back. Others I know are also going to be in the back. Joe and David are not to be missed.

Plus- we really do need to get a squee party together.

Oh- how many people are going to the desert party? For those of us (like me) who don't have the gold tickets, that might be a good time for a get together

***If you are on the fence about going 'cause your by yourself***
Please come! You will be amazed at how many people from LJ/GW elsewhere that you get to meet in person, plus you will get to meet other crazy, zany fans. It's worth it. It's expensive, so keep that in mind.

:D So you bought a preferred package? I wonder if I could just buy a ticket there on Saturday? I hate that they charge a shipping/handling fee when it's an E-ticket! I've never been to a con. I have no idea if they can sell out.
Now I have to figure out how to get there. I couldn't find any info about parking. I guess I could just take the blue line to O'hare, and then a taxi.

Is anyone going to the other con earlier in August, the one with James Marsters and Michael Biehn?

[identity profile] 0-lily-0.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
*delurks* I won't be there. I wish I could meet the Flan someday! I live vicariously through all your con reports and pics. Hope you all have a great time!

[identity profile] mercury973.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, I just bought the one day. I'm flying all the way out from Seattle for one day. LOL the things I do for Hewlett and Flanigan! I don't know if this con sells out, but yeah, the ticket prices suck. That's Creation. They, unfortunately, have the big bucks to get the big names. The good things about Creation cons is you have a seat and that's your seat for however long you are at the con.

No one I know is going to the other one. Most of my gang went to the Minneapolis
con with Joe and David by themselves on one day. Amazing!

If you're concerned about being by yourself- don' t be. That's why this group is good. You can hang out with the Flanigan Appreciation Society all weekend. One thing I've realized from SGA fans is we are the nicest bunch! Everyone is welcome to join in the fun!

[identity profile] pezgirl7.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! I guess I'm confused before the site says it's a "non-reserved seat in the rear of the theatre", but you say you have a seat number.

[identity profile] mercury973.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
If you go here: http://www.creationent.com/cal/sgchi.htm#tix to look at tickets depending on what you choose (I got the preferred admission for Saturday). When you click 'buy tickets' it will take you to a screen where you can choose your seat. Good luck if you decide to join us!

[identity profile] vecturist.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
There's two different day passes - preferred ($55) and general ($25) - with preferred you pay a little more, but you are a little closer to the stage and have an assigned seat.

[identity profile] pezgirl7.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ah ok. So you didn't get the GA ticket, you got the Preferred Package. I think I would probably just get the GA ticket cause I'm so cheap. :)

Cute icon! hehe

[identity profile] pezgirl7.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I would probably just get the general admission ticket.

[identity profile] gyri.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure I'm going. Just need to buy tickets and arrange travel and lodging.....will probably only be staying for 2 nights, going home on Sunday.

I'd love to meet up with people!

[identity profile] titan5.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
*raises hand*

I'm going and meeting up with a group, but would love to meet more Flanigan fans!

[identity profile] mercury973.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry- I got the Saturday only preferred ticket.

[identity profile] the-other-sandy.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be there on Friday and Saturday, and I'd love to meet up with some fellow Flan fans.

[identity profile] mercury973.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Or a lack of sanity!
1/2 to see David/Joe and 1/2 to see friends. It makes for a nice, albeit expensive, weekend.

[identity profile] gyri.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
ETA: I did it!!!!!! I'm going, I'm going!!!!!!

Arriving early Friday morning and leaving Sunday early afternoon. I got a one day ticket (general admission, not preferred---hope that's good enough!), for Saturday, and a ticket for autograph and photo op with The Flan!!!!!

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to meet up with people!

[identity profile] margec01.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 04:02 am (UTC)(link)

I'll be there, too. Driving up Thursday - driving back Sunday.

It's my first con and I'm not even sure where the ropes are yet. I need all the help I can get. :grin: [livejournal.com profile] nakedwesley has been a great resource. Full marks for hand-holding and nerves-calming.

I don't if I'll be able to get a Flanon tee shirt made, but I will have it as a placard to be signed by the guys. :D

I was hoping to go, but my broken leg still still hasn't healed 8 months after breaking it. Maybe next year! I'll console myself with the thoughts that I have met Joe three times already, and David once. I hope you all enjoy yourselves.
