2008 Vancouver Con (Creation)!!!

[ScifigirlSG]

I have room for 3 in my car or 4 at a push but it would be a bit uncomfortable for 3 in the back. So I think for the comfort level I’ll say 3 and if someone is left by an unfortunate chance without a lift on the day they can squeeze into my car.

Can I ride with you....if there's room? I'll give you money for petrol, since you'll be giving me a lift to the dinners at Fuel.

Glad to have you along!

Just to clarify since you said 'dinners', I'm only going on the 1st to Fuel. If you are going on the 3rd as well you'll have to ask someone else. As much as going twice would be nice, I can't afford it.

There's room left for 2 more in the car folks!

FYI - I will have a spot for two in my car if anyone needs a ride to some of the functions. Let me know - happy to help!

I am getting so excited!

Any idea what the weather will be like? Warmer/colder than Wisconsin? Probably a lot less snow for sure!

It'll probably be rainy and in the high 40's or low 50's.

I hope like hell you are including me!

That would be a big "DUH" And we might be able to squish Toomi, EG and ~Sarah~ into the back seat. I'll be checking out rental cars this weekend.
Krisz, you think you could follow me to the airport on Thursday, so I can turn it in? No sense in having a car on days I'll be walking to the con.

I've added to the places I want to see. I'll have to get back early enough to help AG set up the Fan Party.

You're not the only one. I'm thinking we'll be done not long after lunch... depending on what time that is. If the party starts at 7, will AG need us much before 6?

P.S. Neelan_Liquor, updating your list now for adding a car on my name for sure. I will need to follow someone though! Not a Vancouver native you know...it would be great if someone who has been on this route before maybe came along for yuks?

No need to worry about getting around. We'll have people who know where to go and I am a professional driver, so map reading is pretty much second nature. I've been to a few of the places already, so it'll be pretty easy for me up to a point. We'll be sure no one gets lost.

Everyone got your phones?! At least one person in each car should have a phone so no one gets left behind.

And PM people to arrange who's riding with whom.

NO place is as cold as Wisconsin, is it?
Bring layers, and an umbrella. Light rain is very common.

JannaGalaxy and I have a rental car and since we have 3 people, we can fit one, possible two if we scrunch, so if anyone needs a ride for the sight seeing romp and the first Fuel dinner on April 1, let me know and we'll see what we can work out!

I added my name (and I think I have a ride). Hope you don't mind, but I also added the day/date. Just wondering though, was an estimated departure time discussed? Or if our groups are coming from different hotels/homes, etc, are we just meeting at the designated first location (whatever that may be) and then caravan-ing from there?

Forgive me if someone else has already sorted out all of these details - they just occurred to me. Thanks so much!!

[L-JADE]

Neelan, if it's not too much trouble, could you 'group' your car passengers together ? so all the rest of us poor-stagglers can know whose car window we have to knock for hitching a ride

[girllinley68]

Well this week I would have to agree. It was -7 yesterday with a wind chill of -25. Almost warm enough for the swim suit and sun bathing!

Seriously the snow is more of a problem this year than the cold. Mother Nature decided to drop over 90" so far this season on our little town. Spring will be VERY messy.

Thanks for the tips. I was there in '06 and it was fairly warm but I see there was snow last year in all the pictures. Just want to be prepared.

Oi! You guys are soooo demanding! No problem, guys. Below is the even more newly updated list. And no, Jen, we haven't discussed where or when we're meeting yet. JJ hasn't been online at all lately and I'd like to work out details like that with her... maybe the other drivers, too. We'll take care of it though. Don't worry.

I don't need following autographs...

Lexa Doig - Corin Nemec - Dan Shea - Alex Zahara - David Pallfy - Alexis
Cruz - John Smith

but I would need a second autograph from Jason Mamoa and Kavan smith. Anybody want a exchange?

[elephantgirl]

That would be a big "DUH" And we might be able to squish Toomi, EG and ~Sarah~ into the back seat. I'll be checking out rental cars this weekend.
Krisz, you think you could follow me to the airport on Thursday, so I can turn it in? No sense in having a car on days I'll be walking to the con.

Thanks for thinking of us, NL! HUGS!
