Las Vegas Fan Faire Website & Registration is live!

Hayley · Post by **Hayley** » February 10, 2003, 7:29 pm

Ok, plane tickets bought, room reserved, AND registered on the FF website....WHEW.

FYI-

When I booked the hotel room today, the Sony Online discounted rate for Saturday night is BOOKED. I will end up having to pay $165 for Saturday night. Here's the catcher though. The regular room rates every other night is LESS EXPENSIVE than the Sony discounted rate for Thurs, Fri, and Sun night. Here's my cost breakdown:

Thurs night $75
Fri night $95
Sat night $165
Sun night $89

On average, I will be paying $3 less than the $109/night room rate (not bad!)

Question for Vannoth -- How many rooms did you get blocked for the FF? I can't believe that over a month in advance, all of the rooms are booked for Saturday night. Hook me up a cheaper Sat night room rate!!!

Vannoth · Post by **Vannoth** » February 10, 2003, 7:44 pm

We had close to 500 rooms booked.

You guys snapped them up pretty dang quick.

As an example we picked up 300 rooms total in San Fran.

I'm on the hunt for another hotel rate...

/cheer hayley!!

Girls (Hayley, Sirensa, and Aranuil), we have to check out the spa they have there at some point! Maybe do the sauna or get a massage during the day

They also have a salon where they do manicures and make-over and stuff! I'm so excited!!!

I should be arriving around Wednesday at noon. Think I'm sharing a room at the moment with a bunch of friends, but I might still get my own room.

Drolgin should be registered now. Not sure why his name's not showing up.

Hayley · Post by **Hayley** » February 10, 2003, 7:54 pm

Ooooh, I'm allllll over gettin a facial/massage. Shall we bring our bathing suits this time? I'm in the mood for some sun-bathing and late night hot tub trips!

Lalanae · Post by **Lalanae** » February 10, 2003, 8:06 pm

I'm bringing mine and some stuff to work out in, just in case. Nothing like a little sweat to clean out some of that alcohol from the night before

Sirensa · Post by **Sirensa** » February 10, 2003, 9:01 pm

I'm bringing my bathing suit

Planning to hit the pool for some sun-tanning if the weather is nice enough.

I won't be bringing work out clothes! Figure I'll walk around enough to get my exercise that way.

Mmmm makeover!

Sylvos · Post by **Sylvos** » February 10, 2003, 9:05 pm

I looked at those pictures already. There are a bunch of my daughter but none of me. I took pictures while I was there, but the only ones I have of me are a thumb and my feet =(

Still 6 pictures, doesnt really tell a SF FF story. All the others have many pictures. The movie thing is kinda dorky lol.

Sorry about the pictures thing...but I have bigger things to worry about at the moment, other than pictures for the website.

Hotel crises, registration issues, sponsors, vendors, badges, tshirts, lunchboxes...

I'll go holler at the picture people one last time though.

Fair warning to you all...I am the DDR Queen!!!!!

Awesome!

I'm so happy so many of us from SF are going to be there. We Fan Faire "alumni" should create some sort of ritual for Fan Faire "virgins" like they do with the Rocky Horror Picture Show. teehee

Kadie · Post by **Kadie** » February 12, 2003, 6:09 pm

Noooo! Droggy and Xou are going to be at this FF (Along with everyone else!)

. Sorry guys, I can't make it to this one either, I'll bein Europe at the time.

Was hoping the FF would be scheduled for the weekend before. Oh well

.

As for cookies, no promises, I have to see how hectic my schedule will be before my trip. Any preferences in flavors this time?

Anyone want to help with the shipping cost

? And if I do send the cookies out, who wants to be the recipient to bring them to the FF (or get sick eating them all before making it to the FF

) ?

*hugs*

You'll have to fight a lot of folks for that honor, and I don't think you're up to the competition.

Edit: I do hope you come though!

Hey Vannoth, how close is the FF to being full? There are still people I'm pushing to join up and lighting a fire beneath them is always good.
