NYCC

by **scarletcougar** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 2:09 pm

Some of you have heard rumors of a special event for the forum. The NYCC AP event. This is a REAL LIFE event, not an online one. Some heard the rumor through the AP firegrape vine. Some spotted it in my T-Shirt reference in Omashu's Marketplace.

I will modify this post with the news.

Needless to say, this will be a HUGE event. It takes place in North America. It is an opportunity to get cool stuff that is AP related and MEET folks from AP ... IN PERSON!

This will happen in APRIL 18-20, 2008.

New York Comic Con

2008 Show Hours:
Friday, April 18: 3pm - 8pm
Saturday, April 19: 10am - 7pm
Sunday, April 20: 10am - 5pm

2008 Advance Ticket Prices:
(Advance prices valid through 4/17/08, based on availability)
3-day Weekend Pass: $45
Friday Only: $30
Saturday Only: $35
Sunday Only: $30

This is where we will be having a meet and greet. Many of us are staying at the Econolodge in Carlstadt, NJ (New Jersey, New York). We have 2 rooms booked there already. It is reasonably priced and great if you team up with others.

If you are under 18, PM me and we will discuss whether you can come or not and how to arrange things with your parents if they are open.

and what if you can't make it there?

by **scarletcougar** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 2:26 pm

We will miss you.

We know that some people just plain live too far away. Also, some are under age and their parents will definately not let them come.

We promise to report to you all how it goes.

You missed the SDCC. It was last July with a HUGE Avatar thing. The next is well... next July.

you guyz should get a list of people who are able to go...so then you don't have 3 people show up and search all over the con trying to find every1 else...

by **scarletcougar** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 1:53 am

Most of the admins are going and my cell phone will be on at all times so people coming at late or random times can call me and find out where we are.

Those coming so far:
ScarletCougar (me), coyote, phoenix, Uncle Iroh, SOTS, ZMP, scooz, Tev, Hybrid, Zaph, lostdreamz, and maybe Conzu. We are booking rooms at the Econolodge in Carlstadt NJ, New York state.

Ha ha ha...econolodge...not very reliable...ofcourse that was in LA...why don't you try to get the best...and the cheapest...of rooms...but anyways...make sure you advertise AP...and forcestealer is awsome....but enough of the self centering....you guyz should make sure you guyz got everything straight...what's the budget...what you have to pay...what section you'll be advertising in...and all that info...

by **laydownmypride** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 2:03 am

Hmmm I may be able to go... possibly! WOOT! I hope so :)

by **jet** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:13 am

I WILL be able to attend and hopefully I'll be able to meet the wonderful group moderators at my favorite forum...

You will be at the convention during the entire weekend right? Have you already purchased tickets for the convention?

So I guess you'll be taking the PATH train from Jersey City into Manhattan? Or do you have some other travel plans?

by **forcestealer** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:17 am

hey wait...is gotag going?...

You just made no sense. Sorry. Econolodge is cheap but clean. I have used them before. It is not like we are planning on "haging out" or partying or anything there. It is where we will be sleeping. Nicer is more expensive. My personal budget is extremely thin. I would rather be spending money on cool stuff at the con and tea with new friends. I've stayed at econolodges before. It will do.

What do you mean "what is your budget, what you have to pay, what section are you advertising" ?!?! We are going to the NYCC and making a point to meet up with everyone. We are not booking a table at the NYCC. There is no advertizing or nything.

This is Avatar Portal Admins arranging to meet in a single location (somewhere at the NYCC) so we can all meet and greet!

I am not quite sure what you are talking about...

---

@JET:
I have the room booked. I will open my paypal for the folks staying in rooms with me to pass $$ so no one has to worry about their funds there. Each person for themselves to register for the con. I will register Nov. 1st.

I won't be there don't see the reason to go to NY :)

by **scarletcougar** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:48 pm

I am booking a weekend pass for myself because it is not expensive and gives me the free dom to show up whenever.

As we get closer to April and get some ideas of what is around and such, we will pick lunch/supper spots to meet. That way people only coming in on one day can still find us.

by **lostdreamz** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:45 pm

that sounds like a good idea SC...thanx! ^^

by **prodijere** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:53 pm

I think I can make it there, I get four weeks of vacation a year starting in march!

by **lostdreamz** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 5:18 pm
