Hey there,

It's not 100% confirmed yet, but it looks as though I will be attending the Grand Slam at the LAX Marriott on Friday, May 1st. It's sort of a last minute thing, I know, but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone is in the SoCal region next week or was already planning to go anyhow. If you do, be sure to say 'hey' and let me know you're there.

Cheers!

Michael

Awwww. Sadly, Arista, Rush, and I can't make it. I'm not sure if any of the troops can either.

I'm glad thought that you're going the con route. I hope you end up going to Dragon*con.

hey sarah... something...happy?

No SoCal... i dont think ive done more than layover anywhere near that area anyway.

pffffttt! That's not what I meant.

True, plus you are traveling everywhere this summer too.

If I lived in L.A. or was loaded, I'd totally be there.

Have a great time!

Amen sister. I had to backout of a Vegas trip with the gang from the homeboard because of Pitt and Atlanta. But hey, we scheduled those first.... they snooze they lose.

Hey, aren't you supposed to say "So Say We All?" and then start a slow clap?

ummmm no. never was a fan of the slow clap. and Amen has been my phrase of the day. Deal.

Deal.

Huh. They moved it from Burbank- interesting...

When you firm up, let us know, aye? Probably can swing by- and frankly, it'd be coo' to say hi.

Well, I'm locked in, and DID see you listed in the auto section... Hoping you do make it, MT

Take pictures, please! Also, have a great time at the con!

First post, but this is certainly enough to drag me out of hiding!

This is really excellent news. Please give us a heads up on your schedule when you can. I'm local so I wasn't planning to go the whole day.

Since I'll be on my own, if anyone else here wants to meet, I'll be in my C-Bucs outfit. Please come say hi.

If you see someone who looks a bit like Gaius, feel free to say hi

So, it looks like I'm set to arrive around 1pm on Friday, May 1st. Stop by if you can....come join Seph and Lizbeth.

Cheers, Michael

Here's a shocker- Michael was there, and he was his usual gregarious, gorgeous* and generous self. I'll post some pics here once I get some SLEEP.

(And I'll see if I can get the answer to that question I asked you in the interim)


PL&Ls,

J

P.S. Hope you can swing a second day next week (aside from the enlightened self interest, thinking a lot of people can't necessarily get off on Thursday that would show up on Saturday...); if not, we'll talk soon.





* what? its true. (outta shape, he says- sounds like John, the Amateur bodybuilder I'm working with, saying he's "small"- yeah, suuuuure... )

Thanks, seph. Can't wait for it. There was a nice report of the con at skiffy and it made some of us want to know more.

(Sarah, if you check out the link in my latest LJ post, you might get your desire)

Yes, I did. THANKS!

Good God, go figure I read this too late. The ironic thing was that I was initially going to fly out that weekend to LA to visit friends, but had to back out due to conflicts. I'm kicking myself now because it would have been a double bonus to have seen ya there. Seriously, big kicking going on, with bruises and everything.

Thursday, Pasadena Convention Center, if you can make it out this week instead........

Man, I wish. I'm booked this weekend. If y'all are there, you have fun on my behalf.
