ComicCon 2009: Planning and Logistics

The FF deal is no more. At least not for the amount of points I have.

The flights did go down a little bit, though.

Yeah,
I am going to CC too for the 4 days.
I have not thought about the premiere yet. I would luv to go
it just depends on when it is and how much work I would have to miss.
The job keeps getting in the way of my fun but I need the job to
pay for my fun LOL!!! a double edged sword.
I will keep looking here to see what plans we can make.

Bea

awwww...fun, Bea.

How are you?

Ok, all of you ladies going...IF Tarantino brings his Inglourious Bastards along, which I almost think he's going to do, you gotta get me lots and lots of pics of Michael...if he goes.

OMG, was I drunk or something and missed this post?

Bea, you're going??? If so, do you need a roomie? Cuz I have a room.

Yes, I'm going. I booked the flight yesterday.

Alice, does this mean there's a chance Mr. Pitt might be there?

Wouldn't that be something....Missouri boy gone big. If I ever got a chance to talk to him (which I won't), I'd love to bring up the fact that he was raised not that far from me.

IF Tarantino does a panel, I don't see why Pitt wouldn't be there.

I'd love to see Eli, though.

DK, if you don't come by my place to pick up my video camera, you might look to the Father's Day sales in the next few weeks. I always try to buy my electronics around that time, for better deals.

I also thought...BEA! If she figures out something, I can ask her if she wants to take my video camera...huh, BEA?????

I have lots of video tape too!

If not, LJ is going, and I can give her your number later.

Just giving options.

That would be fine. I was just thinking of vlogging the con. I thought it would be fun.

I guess I should try to PM Bea over at GALS. She probably spends more time over there than she does here.

Hey I heard that!!!! LOL!!!
I have a roomie, Lugerry. I will be at a hotel some blocks away too
and we will be using the shuttle whoo hooo Desertinn or something like that. I will PM you my cell # I have not booked the flight yet
but we plan to be there on wed to get tickets early and see the preview show if we can.
Alice, I will have my 2 cameras but if you want me to get yours and give it to LJ let me know or Donna when I see her.

Ohhh Brad Pitt wooo and Michael wow. I wonder if Twilight will do a
showing too last year was a so fun.... I am loving Edward Cullen.
I love Vampires since my sister I were kids and we saw our first
Dracula movie but I hate to say that I think it was the Boris Karloff
version LOL!! man are we old. But, I remember scrunching in my seat
I think I was too young to have seen that but my parents too us???
Oh well many doctors and pills later I am still loving the Vampires....
Bea

I like vampires, too. Just not into Twilight yet.

Wow, you got her to go to a bonafide con? Will this be her first?

Thanks for giving me your cell number.

And thanks Alice for the camera offer.

Ha ha....y'all make me laugh.

Kinda wish I could go. My boyfriend goes to the DragonCon thingy in Atlanta every September. Leonard Nimoy, Dirk Benedict, Alan Ruck and others will be there.

I'd love to go to TUT premiere. Never done a real, full-fledged big movie premiere. Was in NYC in '05 to see Tom Cruise on Letterman---but my boyfriend and I were such nimrods we didn't realize Tom's movie was premiering that same day! We could've seen Tom, Katie and Spielberg!!! Damn it man.

Now, does anyone know if and when there might be a premiere in NYC for The Ugly Truth?

Southwest starts flying to La Guardia end of June. Cheap rates going to. A bit more coming back. Never been to L.A. But that would be majorly fun!

Hhhhmmm...I need to start planning and calling up people too!

TUT premiere is in LA on July 16, I believe. I haven't heard of a NY one, at least not one with the actors/red carpet.

I'm getting really excited about CC. I just heard this afternoon that there are going to be panels for Stargate, Caprica, Warehouse 13, Sanctuary, Eureka and Battlestar Galactica. I've also heard there might be something lined up for Legend of the Seeker.

Teehee...I just heard thru the grapevine that Scott Bakula is supposed to be there. He's a St. Louis boy, just like me...except that I'm not a boy, I'm a girl.

I love being a geek.

Gads....Legend of the Seeker!!!! Yum!

Lugerry??
she is everywhere !!!
She was at CC last year but just for the Gerry show like me....
This year the whole thing dammit....

OH...MY...GOD.

David Tennant, John Barrowman, and Russell Davies have been announced for ComicCon!!!

They have both Doctor Who and Torchwood panels scheduled.

I've heard Jonah Hex is going to have a panel...wondering if IB has one, will Michael show up for Hex, too?

David Tennant? Interesting.

Are you getting a tad excited, Donna?

About David Tennant? He's almost as far up there on my fangirl scale as Gerry. And I LOVE Doctor Who. I've been a fan since I was a little kid. This is David's first CC appearance, based on what I've heard. And John Barrowman, I love him on DW and Torchwood.

I haven't heard anything, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Nothing is confirmed, but I'm following CC on Twitter and the buzz is that Mr. Pitt might be there, and maybe even Angelina. Now if CC can get those two there, I don't see why they couldn't get Mr. Fassy.

I suppose all will be revealed in a few weeks.

I really wish CC could get Chris Eccleston. I'm a fan of his too, and he was also in Heroes, as well as playing the Doctor. But IMO cons just don't appear to be his cup of tea. I never really hear about him doing PR things. I think he likes to keep pretty private.

ok, I'm stupid...what's the twitter addy? Comiccon?

LOL, Alice! You're not stupid....

There are a few I follow:

www.twitter.com/comiccon
www.twitter.com/comiccon09
www.twitter.com/SC_Comic_Con
www.twitter.com/seat42f

Plus I use Tweetdeck for Twitter, and keep the search for ComicCon running. Or you can search on the web, too.

Nay, all I can say about David is that he's Scottish. I don't know a lot about him outside of his characters, but he appears to be a bit of a bad boy. But he's so darn cute....

He's representing Doctor Who, along with Russell Davies.
