VVC

After skipping last years VVC and procrastinating forever (because the flight is fricking expensive and I hate long-distance flights with a vengance) I've now got my plane ticket. So, who else from around here is going?

And more importantly, is anybody interested in sharing a room? I'm laid back and easy-going, but I'd prefer a 'quiet room' with no room parties, purely because I'm coming from the UK and likely will be a bit jet lagged and prone to start dozing off at 7pm. I'm getting into Chicago on Wednsday (to give me some time to adjust) and am leaving on Monday. Let me know if you're interested to join me for all or part of that, I'd probably would make the reservations so that I don't have to move rooms while I'm over there. Anybody coming from Europe as well? We could keep each other company at 4 am in the morning over early breakfast....

Comment, PM or email if interested...

I would LOVE to come. I already said so to Nicky a while ago...still not decided. :/ Could you remind me when is it?

[identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com 2012-03-08 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! That would be so awesome!!!
The con is going to be 10th - 12th August, I'll be there 8th -13th. That gives me a bit of time to reset my body clock and to socialize a bit without the con-stress, people normally start arriving Thursday afternoonish.

Oh my, only 3 days...that would be so awesome indeed...but what about the flight, is there any chance of finding low prices? I'm sort of indecisive also because of the expenses. Also, I'm not sure I'll have time to even produce a video for that time, I'm super busy at the moment.

Flight prices are going to be the biggest expense. I paid £830 for a direct flight from Manchester, there would have been some slightly cheaper options if I'd opted for a connecting flight, but then you're travel time goes up. You need to check prices from Italy.

I would not wory about the vid. I didn't have one first time I went, and depending how anxious you feel about showing your stuff not having a vid at Premieres might be good thing, because then you can enjoy the whole experience more.

Yay! I'm going! So glad I'll see you there!

I have roommates already, sorry. I'm sure you'll find someone fun, though.

Yay, another friendly face in the crowd, awesome! I'm sure I'll hook up with some fun roomies, otherwise I'll just go and and hang out in other people's rooms. :)

Yay VVC! Glad you're making the trip.

[identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com 2012-03-08 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay, anoel. Can you believe that it's been two years since we first met. Time's eating my life....

I'll be there! With sparkles on. *g*

[identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com 2012-03-09 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, sparkles! I love traditions! But I don't think we met last time I went, so we have to rectify that!

I'll be there. :)

[identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com 2012-03-09 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Funny, that was totally clear to me that you're going to be there. There would be something seriously wrong with the universe if there was a VVC without settiai. ;)

Woot! You're coming--that's fantastic. I'm excited to see you again. If you don't find a roomie here, you should post over at the VVC community. That usually works.

[identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com 2012-03-09 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm excited, too! Maybe we can hook up for a meal or something before the con starts if your'e not too busy and I'm not asleep. :)

You're right, I probably need to try my luck at VVC, given how small my flsit is...I really need to go on a random friending spree.

Yes, I arrive at the hotel on Thursday, so we could try for dinner that night.

Are you staying at the hotel? I didn't realize, given that you're local. But I remember that the ride into town a couple of years ago took quite a while...Dinner would be lovely, I'll get in touch a bit closer to the time. Oooh, I'm getting all exited now!

[identity profile] barkley.livejournal.com 2012-03-10 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay, you're coming! It'll be great to see you again.

[identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com 2012-03-11 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, meet up - shall we meet up again in the Premiers queue, or make it a bit more sociable? ;)
