I'll be there with bells on ... someone just remind me later that I need to bring a five-pack of Arturo Fuentes for Dirk

KJ · March 24th, 2003, 03:37 PM

But it depends on what i'll be doing, can't see into the future but it just really depends on the goings on in my life up untill October.

Wouldn't mind visiting the States once again for a few days though. Let you know closer to the date whether or not.

I'm just trying to work out flights & babysitters. why can it take 6-7 hours to fly west and 2 days to fly east, I will just never get that.....

Micheleh · March 24th, 2003, 09:29 PM

"Looking forward to it!

I've got my ticket!

Michael"

Lol, no, really? That's sort of mandatory for you, I think.

March 24th, 2003, 10:17 PM

I've got my ticket (level 1), 2 rooms and working on flights. Looking like 8-10 in my group. Viperman being one of them. Going to be one hell of a party.

I might be our last chance to see much of the TOS...

Micheleh · March 25th, 2003, 12:33 AM

This may be our last chance indeed, to honor the original series as it was. It'll be a helluva party no one will want to miss, I can say that much.

peter noble · March 25th, 2003, 12:41 AM

Hope it is a party and not a wake!

Regards,

Peter (don't let me go near the vodka!)

You never know. I wasn't able to attend the 20th Yahren in 1998 since I was managing a team of 22 on a $50 million web site project. To meet our objectives, we had been working through the weekends. That, sadly, included the weekend of the 20th Yahren. (That was VERY frustrating...)

This time, I don't see the same problem arising. (Crossing my fingers.) There's always contigency plans if something comes up.

I'll see if i can find my suit!

newt · March 25th, 2003, 05:37 AM

...but a lot can happen between now and then.

LordStarFyre · March 25th, 2003, 05:50 AM

Would it be terribly bad form of me to go dressed up as Ronnie Moore...

Now, where did I put those glasses with the tape, and that Pocket Protector......hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Stevew · March 25th, 2003, 06:22 AM

Hell it is in my home town. It will be nice to meet the faces behind the screen

could be fun.

nightscape2112 · March 25th, 2003, 12:19 PM

i am trying to work out all of the problems of going. i dont know now if i can make it, but i am trying. worse come to worse i might be able to swing a one day visit, most likely saturday. that would cut the cost almost in half for me.

AlternityOrange · March 25th, 2003, 12:41 PM

I'll be there in my leisure suit and goldfish platform shoes! After all, us Galactica fans are stuck in 1978. Can't wait for the disco. Do I have to buy a seperate ticket for my pet rock?

March 27th, 2003, 08:46 PM

Just purchased my Level 1 membership and got my hotel room!!
I'm all a tingle now with anticipation!

I'm sure it's fine.

Micheleh · March 27th, 2003, 10:34 PM

I'm afraid that's classified- I just got yelled at for possibly spoiling something by leaking information. My apologies.

March 28th, 2003, 12:05 AM

I've been to enough funerals this year.

Be sure to invite Moore, Eicke and Hammer. This would be a wonderful opportunity for them to plug this new series.

If this function goes forward you are only helping the executioners.

jewels · March 28th, 2003, 12:35 AM

Scooter, get a grip, man. It actually is a testimony to the strength of this fanbase that we'd still get together to celebrate the 25 years it was OUR Galactica.

We can still party 'cause we're all pretty darned special people and we have our love for the original series & respect for the original cast & crew in common. And it will be a great time. And it will be about our Galactica, not about that swill.

Still working out plans & planes but I will be there.

Please explain to me ! What is there to celebrate? Strength? what strengtht? We lost to a bunch of teenaged Trekkers who has no respect nor compassion towards other fandoms.

Oh yeah we are really special let's party. If we are so special, then why did TPTB give us the shaft?

Answer is we are nobody. We don't matter and this celebration will only help Ron.

The truth hurts. Maybe you wont ever accept the fact but I already have.

It's time for me to move on. Maybe the rest of us should also.

There is no way I participate in this Celebration slash promotion.

jewels · March 28th, 2003, 06:09 AM

Sorry you feel that way. But that is your choice.

There are people like Michael, Michelle, the folks working on fan projects that deserve my backing and support. And I'm going to enjoy their party/OUR party.

We said this fan-run event was the only thing TPTB could not touch - freedom of assembly and all that! If we take out our angst on this, then they HAVE won it all.

But I got into this fray knowing the chances were slim to none. And we gave the battle more of a run than some of us will ever understand. A run that in the last 3 months alone turned execs on their ear for a time, execs that never leave their lofty towers. We got their attention. And held it. And only desperate, dirty tactics wrenched it from us.

I think we can be proud of what we did. And I think the thanks are still in order for the insiders that went to bat for us. And I do consider the people here to be very special and consider many of them to be friends. I don't have faces to put with their names yet, but that event in October may change some of that. For these reasons, I am going.

Micheleh · March 28th, 2003, 07:55 AM

Scooter, meet me in my office.

*thinks....*

*runs to Home Depot for materials to build office....*

Hang on, this'll only take a mo'...
