Fan Faire 2008!

If you're flying from Europe, it hardly matters which coast of the US you fly to. The plane ticket is slightly more expensive, perhaps, but the cheaper hotels, food & festivities balance it out.

Ok *CENSORED* is up with people and Vegas.  The last Fanfaire was there and frankly it gets kinda old REALLY fast.

DC ftw!

"What could possibly beat last year's Fan Faire in Las Vegas, NV?  You tell us!  The time has come to pick a new location and as always, we want your opinion.  Please vote on potential cities, dates and costs for Fan Faire 2008. You have 14 days to give us your two cents and help determine where the next great event will be held - so vote now!"

Got me, I just took that as, 'Most votes win'.

I'm sure its a blast... but if its not Orlando, there's no way I'm going to be able to make it.

Incorrect.  Las Vegas is awake 24/7 and there is always somthing to do at all hours of the day. Anywhere else we would be extreamly limited as to what you could do outside of fan fair. Everything closes at night time. In Vegas Night time is just like day time, except darker and more hookers.

Less hookers in some areas.

HOw about CA

I'd love it if they threw in a random curveball, and held it in Belgium.

So far, it is looking good for me to be going. So yeah.

Good stuff.

Do YOU have an ID, sir? =P

I couldn't imagine it being anywhere as good as before unless it was held in Vegas.  Unless ex goes, of course.

If I could get ex hired and on the payroll soon enough, he could make it. " width="15" height="15" />

Ex can stay in my driveway if he has a car :O

Maybe if some of us know how much it actually costs round trip.  Jumping  ahead - and say assuming it's in Las Vegas again. 

Think about:
$ Price of Tickets
$ Hotel Room 
$ Air Fair (most costly usually)
$ Food, booze, drugs & hookers (I mean "Holiday Helpers")

I've been to Vegas about 3 times already and all up and down the strip.  So I know where the cheap, free fun can be.  Lions in MGM, Rollercoster on top of the Statoshpere (rides and also in NY/NY and Circus Circus).  Some advice ... don't go into Circus Circus is you are really drunk and/or stoned.  Remember Fear & Loathing - yeh its alot like that @.@ .  Been to the dinner theatrics of Excalibur, and of course the Star Trek exprerience in the Hilton.  I won $150 on slots at the Hilton last time I was there - woowoo!  And the best dinner is not on the strip, it's at Sam's Town which is a little off the strip.  Best steak dinner for cheap ever!  And there is the Fremont Experience which is a little off the strip as well.  In an older section.  A huge overhead lightshow comes on at night.  Pretty fun! 

My estimates for someone who lives in Pacific NW, comes to about $2000 total.  Not something to sneeze at.  That might be a little on the high side, but it's not too far off.  I'd just like to get a more realistic expectation on what it will cost.  Because I do want to go.  But I have to really start throwing some money in my piggybank.  Hope my tax return and that $600 government bonus "stimulus" check comes soon.

And if I can really go ... I do need dates, times, and a spot to start reserving.  Getting plane tickets is the hardest. 

I am going to this over BOTCON ... the biggest Transformers convention.  Which is something I have also dreamed of going to.  Wow ... I must like video games.    

When is everything going to be official and decided? I want to make my plans well in advance >_<

I would like to remind people to keep it civil at the Fan Faire. I have on file various occurrences of threats to hurt people at this meeting. I trust appropriate security will be on-site during the events.

I ask that if something does happen, to not intervene and advise security immediately so they can deal with it. In another online game a bystander tried to stop a conflict between members of two rival clans at a meet and greet, and lost his life in the process. This is very upsetting when people lose their lives due to in-game rivalries.

I do not wish to scare, just making you aware some people take things too seriously. If you are feeling rational, so confrontational, just don't turn up.
