Sep 10, 2006 01:56:57 PM judy309 How ya doin?
Sep 10, 2006 01:57:17 PM CarolD Waiting for the crowds to start joining in! :)
Sep 10, 2006 01:57:26 PM judy309 Cool!
Sep 10, 2006 01:57:39 PM EmmaCMF Yes, where's the stampede??;)
Sep 10, 2006 01:57:55 PM EmmaCMF I know that Maryse is supposed to be coming, and Janice, and Chris
Sep 10, 2006 01:58:07 PM CarolD They'll wander in shortly...I hope.
Sep 10, 2006 01:58:13 PM judy309 Yes.
Sep 10, 2006 01:58:25 PM CarolD So, Joy, you've got 3 committee members here. Got any questions?
Sep 10, 2006 01:58:40 PM tina_als_girl None that I can think of at the moment...
Sep 10, 2006 01:58:53 PM EmmaCMF You have our undivided attention!!
Sep 10, 2006 01:59:07 PM judy309 That you do!
Sep 10, 2006 01:59:45 PM CarolD Right now we've got 227 surveys back, with 109 people saying they'll definitely attend.
Sep 10, 2006 02:00:04 PM EmmaCMF Yay!
Sep 10, 2006 02:00:05 PM CarolD 50 say probably. And 66 are waiting for Scott and Dean to RSVP!
Sep 10, 2006 02:00:13 PM tina_als_girl Is that a good number, or do we need a few more recruits?
Sep 10, 2006 02:00:19 PM Trudy Awesom
Sep 10, 2006 02:00:23 PM Trudy ....awesome.
Sep 10, 2006 02:00:48 PM EmmaCMF It's a viable number, Joy
Sep 10, 2006 02:00:49 PM CarolD It's a good number, but more would be great!
Sep 10, 2006 02:01:00 PM tina_als_girl Wow... You know, I don't think I've been in this chatroom since it was last updated... This is awesome.
Sep 10, 2006 02:01:04 PM judy309 Yes, it is viable, but more is always better.
Sep 10, 2006 02:01:15 PM EmmaCMF Isn't it gorgeous?
Sep 10, 2006 02:01:32 PM CarolD Yes, it seems to work well. And the layout and colors are great. (Yay, Brian!)
Sep 10, 2006 02:01:41 PM tina_als_girl Well, I posted the link on a couple generic movie/tv boards I'm on... Didn't get many replies, but I'm hoping that some still went to the survey
Sep 10, 2006 02:02:08 PM CarolD That's great, Joy. You never know where fans are hiding!
Sep 10, 2006 02:02:37 PM EmmaCMF Maryse is on her way, she's trying to find us!
Sep 10, 2006 02:02:47 PM judy309 Great!
Sep 10, 2006 02:03:03 PM CarolD We're going to leave the survey up until the end of the year. We're hoping for at least 300 responses. So all the help from fans is great.
Sep 10, 2006 02:03:24 PM tina_als_girl Well, on one of the Pirates of the Caribbean boards, someone replied asking for more information because he was apparently an extra on an episode of QL.... I directed him over to Al's Place, but I don't know that he's ever actually come over
Sep 10, 2006 02:03:56 PM CarolD Let's hope he's been checking things out. It would be great to have him participate.
Sep 10, 2006 02:04:20 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, I told him everyone would be thrilled to hear from someone who's worked on QL
Sep 10, 2006 02:04:21 PM maryse Am I in the right room? I have no idea how I got here LOL!!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:05:42 PM maryse Gosh i have to tell you this is all a little hard to read
Sep 10, 2006 02:06:20 PM EmmaCMF Maryse, you can change font colour and size in the options dialog
Sep 10, 2006 02:06:23 PM judy309 We're going to have to distinguish between Carol C. and Carol D!
Sep 10, 2006 02:06:27 PM judy309 I know. I'm watching!
Sep 10, 2006 02:07:43 PM beckettslady Dodgers beating the Mets?? :(
Sep 10, 2006 02:07:57 PM asearcher I finished the walk earler so I could be here!
Sep 10, 2006 02:07:58 PM judy309 Yes they are. 9-0
Sep 10, 2006 02:08:11 PM CarolD That's great, Helen -- how did it go?
Sep 10, 2006 02:08:29 PM beckettslady Sheesh. We need to go back to playing the Cardinals. :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:08:30 PM asearcher Great...nice walk...beautiful day in CO!
Sep 10, 2006 02:08:32 PM EmmaCMF Guys, Brian sends his apologies, but he's not going to be able to make the chat this afternoon due to unforseen circumstances
Sep 10, 2006 02:08:53 PM CarolD Yes, poor Brian had to work. How ugly.
Sep 10, 2006 02:09:07 PM judy309 Yes. On Sunday!
Sep 10, 2006 02:10:02 PM EmmaCMF So, does anybody have any questions for us?
Sep 10, 2006 02:10:23 PM CarolD We've got 3 committee members here, so ask away if you're curious about something.
Sep 10, 2006 02:10:45 PM asearcher Closing in on a venue?
Sep 10, 2006 02:10:52 PM Chrissie How close are you to being able to say this will really happen?
Sep 10, 2006 02:10:56 PM CarolD We're working on it.
Sep 10, 2006 02:10:58 PM beckettslady Are we doing a Hilton? :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:08 PM EmmaCMF Yup. But not Paris
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:15 PM tina_als_girl LOL
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:16 PM CarolD OW!!!!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:17 PM asearcher (not Paris...from the last Q&A)
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:23 PM asearcher beat me to it!
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:28 PM EmmaCMF No, I think the Hilton is slightly out of our league
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:43 PM EmmaCMF But we have several very nice venues under consideration
Sep 10, 2006 02:11:44 PM CarolD We're pretty close, Chris. I think we're about 99% sure.
Sep 10, 2006 02:12:05 PM beckettslady Just so long as there is room service.
Sep 10, 2006 02:12:31 PM Chrissie Thats great Carol. I've never been to a Con and I need to start saving some money NOW I think
Sep 10, 2006 02:12:35 PM CarolD Right now we're looking at a Holiday Inn, Donna.
Sep 10, 2006 02:12:42 PM asearcher Does it look like Pasadena is highest on list of possibilities?
Sep 10, 2006 02:12:57 PM EmmaCMF Not at the moment
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:08 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, I've never been to a Con either... Didn't become a fan 'til about a year after the Kansas City QL con, so missed that. :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:12 PM Trudy What is the list of possibilities?
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:13 PM CarolD Brian's idea was, if you can save $1 a day, you'll have the money with no problem.
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:15 PM EmmaCMF The hotel we are hoping to secure is near Universal Studios
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:19 PM beckettslady Holiday Inns are nice.
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:41 PM maryse I have a question. Who the hell is everyone. I recognise Judy and Emma and Trudy, oh and Carol no idea who the others are. I hate screen names LOL!
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:46 PM Cpt Jules That would be nice. Close to Universal. Nice location.
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:49 PM asearcher Some holiday inns have a VIP program that's free...gives some nice perks
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:59 PM CarolD The trouble is, a lot of the hotels with large meeting rooms have expensive sleeping rooms, and we're trying to keep costs down for you guys.
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:02 PM Chrissie oh Maryse I'm hurt
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:06 PM tina_als_girl Well, I go in for a job interview on Tuesday, so I'm hoping I'll be able to start doing that dollar-a-day thing... I'm going to try my hardest to make it to this con!
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:09 PM Cpt Jules I'm Kat Freymuth.
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:11 PM Trudy What time of year would the convention be?
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:17 PM EmmaCMF Judy is our hotel wizard, and is working busily to secure our venue
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:20 PM CarolD March 2009.
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:24 PM EmmaCMF March, Trudy
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:29 PM Trudy Thanks. :-)
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:32 PM beckettslady And AARP and AAA discounts, although that may not apply with another group discount.
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:41 PM EmmaCMF As close to the actual 20th Anniversary as we can get
Sep 10, 2006 02:14:47 PM asearcher I'm Helen in Colorado
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:03 PM maryse Sorry Chris, just realised its you buddy!
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:07 PM Cpt Jules Yea! Colorado!
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:09 PM tina_als_girl And I'm.... Just Joy! ;)
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:10 PM asearcher (as opposed to Helen from Bedford)
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:11 PM LadyKayoss My name is Jamie, not that that helps you!
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:33 PM CarolD Brian had a good plan -- I think anybody could find a coffee can or some other container. Every day, put $1 in there. It'll add up!
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:37 PM beckettslady My last big con was 1996 LeapCon. The last small con was almost excatly five years ago in NYC.
Sep 10, 2006 02:15:40 PM maryse LOLOL! It's nice to have a name though Jamie!
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:25 PM Trudy Have there been any QL cons since LeapCon?
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:27 PM Chrissie So £1 a day and I'll rich in three years then?
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:40 PM maryse Is the coffee can idea a way of saving for 2009?
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:41 PM judy309 I normally keep a piggy bank at my desk and throw loose change, dollars, whatever I have each day.
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:42 PM Trudy I only became active in the con scene in the last couple of years and mine are mostly general scifi/comic book.
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:45 PM beckettslady I went to the last Creation con in NYC. It was September 8, 2001.
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:52 PM CarolD There you go, Chris! You'll be rolling in money.
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:53 PM beckettslady Hey Maryse!
Sep 10, 2006 02:16:57 PM EmmaCMF Well, not rich, but you'd have enough money for the convention!
Sep 10, 2006 02:17:00 PM Trudy How big was it, Donna?
Sep 10, 2006 02:17:20 PM CarolD Yes, Maryse, saving $1 a day.
Sep 10, 2006 02:17:32 PM beckettslady Tiny compared to Vegas. The hotel was horrible.
Sep 10, 2006 02:17:40 PM maryse Good plan!!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:17:42 PM CarolD What hotel, Donna?
Sep 10, 2006 02:17:49 PM tina_als_girl I learned from a commercial that non-stop flights from Kansas City to LA are pretty cheap on Midwest, so I've already got an airline in mind
Sep 10, 2006 02:18:00 PM Chrissie What about the Queen Mary thing? That would be so cool
Sep 10, 2006 02:18:23 PM asearcher The Queen Mary was used for Sea Bride too
Sep 10, 2006 02:18:28 PM EmmaCMF We're still open to lots of options, Chris
Sep 10, 2006 02:18:33 PM beckettslady I don't know what they call it now. It's the hotel across from Madison Square Garden.
Sep 10, 2006 02:18:47 PM CarolD A friend is going to the James Marsters con on the Queen Mary this month -- I'm waiting to find out from her what she thought of the ship as a venue.
Sep 10, 2006 02:18:52 PM EmmaCMF Yup, we know. But we're reseaching to check that the venue is clean, quiet and suitable
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:06 PM EmmaCMF We don't want to get stuck with a venue that nobody likes
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:07 PM Chrissie Excellent Carol.
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:08 PM CarolD Donna...used to be the Penn Hotel, I think. You're right, it's nasty.
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:12 PM asearcher My husband stay at the QM for an Intel con (the company...not the concept)...
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:18 PM beckettslady Wow. Marsters has his own con???
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:30 PM CarolD And he's RUNNING it.
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:35 PM asearcher At that time it was a Hyatt I beleive...may be something else now
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:36 PM Trudy I don't even know who Marsters IS. :X
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:42 PM beckettslady I'd love teh Queen Mary. It's haunted, you know. :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:43 PM EmmaCMF Spike from Buffy
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:45 PM Chrissie We saw him last year over here. Big big draw
Sep 10, 2006 02:19:46 PM CarolD James Marsters, Spike from Buffy.
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:01 PM Chrissie haunted!! Fab
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:17 PM LadyKayoss Sounds fun.
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:26 PM CarolD My problem with the QM is that customer reviews complain about the musty smell.
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:30 PM EmmaCMF As much as I'd love that place, we've got a whole range of factors to take into consideration
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:34 PM LadyKayoss I like haunted places!
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:35 PM EmmaCMF Location being one of the,
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:38 PM CarolD Didn't really want a stinky venue.
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:44 PM beckettslady The Most Haunted crew scared themselves silly. I think I still have the episodes on DVD.
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:47 PM EmmaCMF No, that wouldn't be good!
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:47 PM Trudy I'd want a place close to the hotel.
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:48 PM Cpt Jules What do they expect? It's a SHIP!
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:49 PM Chrissie LOL!!! NO
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:53 PM Namaste When I attended the Starman conventions, we always stayed at the Hollywood Metropolitan. It was horrible.
Sep 10, 2006 02:20:58 PM Trudy I don't like taking cabs--it saps up your money in no time.
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:04 PM LadyKayoss Or one where you could get seasick.
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:18 PM CarolD The Queen Mary is a hotel, Trudy.
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:23 PM beckettslady No, stinky is not an option. Went throught that with Red Roof Inn.
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:26 PM asearcher Hubby didn't find the place bad to stay in.
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:31 PM EmmaCMF I don't think that seasickness would be an issue, as it is it's own bay
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:32 PM Trudy Got it.
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:42 PM Chrissie I've only ever been to the Furama and that was nice. Had good hotels in DC too, but a lot of U.S. Hotels sound scary
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:42 PM maryse So before I get wonderfully worked up and excited, is this Con a definite thing now?
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:53 PM Cpt Jules It is for me!
Sep 10, 2006 02:21:58 PM EmmaCMF We hope so, it's looking that way!
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:07 PM judy309 So far, so good.
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:09 PM CarolD I think we can say yes, Maryse. You've done all that work!
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:11 PM asearcher I'll be there.
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:12 PM EmmaCMF And BTW, ladies and Gents, Maryse is responsible for our gorgeous convention logo
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:14 PM Trudy Awesome. :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:24 PM beckettslady Just be sure Scott knows where to park.
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:27 PM LadyKayoss Good work!
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:36 PM asearcher Very nice
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:37 PM CarolD LOL, Donna!
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:37 PM tina_als_girl Awesome! I love the logo!
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:39 PM Cpt Jules And Dean! Don't forget Dean!
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:43 PM maryse That's a we hope so, so it's still not a certainty?
Sep 10, 2006 02:22:47 PM EmmaCMF Isn't it beautiful?
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:03 PM CarolD Maryse, it's a yes unless something hideous happens.
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:06 PM beckettslady The logo with the numbers? That is awesome.
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:09 PM EmmaCMF We can't say for certain yet, but I'd say the odds are in our favour
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:22 PM judy309 Yes.
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:41 PM Chrissie Are you going to try to get Scott to accept the star thing?
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:46 PM EmmaCMF Does anyone have a magic 8 ball? Ask it and see what it says?
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:52 PM maryse Thank you so much!! I enjoyed doing that logo and hope to do lots more for this too!
Sep 10, 2006 02:23:56 PM EmmaCMF We'll try!
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:03 PM judy309 Fantastic work Maryse!
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:03 PM tina_als_girl LOL... this is funny--I can hear my mom in the other room making funny disappointed noises while watching the Chiefs game... :D
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:06 PM EmmaCMF Whether he'll go for it or not is a different matter
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:10 PM asearcher I have one upstairs...you really want me to get it...or are you kidding?
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:22 PM tina_als_girl Oh, are we still trying to get Scott a star?
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:23 PM CarolD Maryse, Helen sent me her spare program from Vegas. Girlfriend, you can kick that thing's butt. It's a MESS.
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:27 PM EmmaCMF LOL! If you have one, go for it
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:36 PM EmmaCMF It's an idea that we've mooted, Joy.
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:37 PM beckettslady When Dean attends, he never has a problem getting there. Scott, on the other hand, he needs big signage and a clear path.
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:40 PM asearcher Someone gave it to my son...a few years ago
Sep 10, 2006 02:24:57 PM Chrissie Perhaps in three years...with the Emmy and the Tony and the Helen Hayes awards I KNOW he'll have won by then, he;ll accept!!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:25:09 PM beckettslady Mooted?
Sep 10, 2006 02:25:30 PM EmmaCMF We figured that as the series that made Scott's name will be celebrating it's 20th Anniversary, he might suddenly realise that he has contributed enough to the 'business'
Sep 10, 2006 02:25:31 PM maryse Hey if anyone has a copy of the Vegas program I'd love to see what Creation came up with.
Sep 10, 2006 02:25:40 PM judy309 I'll send you mine Maryse.
Sep 10, 2006 02:26:03 PM CarolD The cover is a cluttered mess, Maryse.
Sep 10, 2006 02:26:04 PM EmmaCMF mooted - to bring up a subject for discussion or debate
Sep 10, 2006 02:26:10 PM CarolD Too much going on, on 1 page.
Sep 10, 2006 02:26:16 PM Chrissie I need big signs as well. I get lost all the time
Sep 10, 2006 02:26:28 PM asearcher It's actaully a digital "Executive Decision Maker" with Definitely, Ask Again, Never, Forget It, Why Not, and Possibly. Just let me know when you want me to ask it something.
Sep 10, 2006 02:26:35 PM Cpt Jules I think that we should have a letter sent to Scott and Dean with the request and have our "signatures" on it.
Sep 10, 2006 02:26:59 PM maryse Many thanks Judy!! A scan will do if you want to keep hold of the programme
Sep 10, 2006 02:27:03 PM EmmaCMF Ask away whenever you're ready!
Sep 10, 2006 02:27:07 PM asearcher Creation came up with Cr*p...but at least there was one.
Sep 10, 2006 02:27:22 PM CarolD That's true, Helen. Normally they just have a sheet of paper.
Sep 10, 2006 02:27:22 PM EmmaCMF We are going to have THE best convention booklet ever
Sep 10, 2006 02:27:47 PM judy309 Sorry, can't scan here, and only B&W at work.
Sep 10, 2006 02:27:59 PM CarolD I can scan it to Maryse, Judy.
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:03 PM Namaste With teh artwork I've seen here, I've no doubt about that.
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:03 PM Peachkoala Hi I'm sorta partly here
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:04 PM Cpt Jules I can scan in color.
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:05 PM asearcher What was the question?
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:07 PM beckettslady I don't think I have any of my old programs. I did a lot of cleaning up when I moved.
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:07 PM judy309 Great Carol.
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:11 PM Chrissie What a cool name Peachkoala
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:20 PM beckettslady I have a scanner too.
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:36 PM Peachkoala thanks Chris, it's ancient :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:28:39 PM maryse I'm looking forward to doing heaps of convention parfinalia or 'stuff'.
Sep 10, 2006 02:29:13 PM beckettslady I do have tapes of the last two leapcon QA's with Scott.
Sep 10, 2006 02:32:15 PM maryse What actual date do you guys plan this Con being on?
Sep 10, 2006 02:32:17 PM Chrissie I can't imagine Scott NOT wanting to be there.
Sep 10, 2006 02:32:26 PM EmmaCMF March 27-29th
Sep 10, 2006 02:32:30 PM EmmaCMF If things go to plan
Sep 10, 2006 02:32:48 PM asearcher Putting it on my calendar
Sep 10, 2006 02:33:28 PM EmmaCMF So, does anyone have a particular guest star that they'd like to see, other than Scott and Dean?

Sep 10, 2006 02:34:22 PM beckettslady Richard is always fun.
Sep 10, 2006 02:34:34 PM EmmaCMF He likes conventions
Sep 10, 2006 02:34:35 PM TessCrazy which one is he?
Sep 10, 2006 02:34:45 PM Chrissie The woman who was Tess...she writes NAOOC doesn't she?
Sep 10, 2006 02:34:51 PM EmmaCMF Richard herd played Captain Galaxy
Sep 10, 2006 02:34:58 PM EmmaCMF Yes, Kari Lizer
Sep 10, 2006 02:35:07 PM CarolD I think Richard Herd is pretty much definite.
Sep 10, 2006 02:35:11 PM EmmaCMF He was also Ziggy in Mirror Image
Sep 10, 2006 02:35:12 PM tina_als_girl Jean-Pierre Dorleac if possible... I'd love to have some sort of costuming discussion panel
Sep 10, 2006 02:35:29 PM Chrissie Weird Ernie guy
Sep 10, 2006 02:35:46 PM EmmaCMF Bruce McGill, Chris?
Sep 10, 2006 02:35:56 PM Chrissie Yes! I love him
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:01 PM Namaste Charles Rocekt was one of my favorites.
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:11 PM maryse I'd like to see what's her name from Tool Time there.
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:22 PM CarolD Pat Richardson?
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:23 PM Cpt Jules Bruce McGill would be #2:D
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:25 PM asearcher Oh...he was the one in A Little Miracle...right?
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:32 PM CarolD Yes, Helen.
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:32 PM Chrissie No Helen. I wasn't quick enough on the keyboard. I'd like him as a guest sorry
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:38 PM Cpt Jules Oh! Pat Richardson!
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:40 PM EmmaCMF Patricia Richardson would be wonderful
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:43 PM cre612 Ah, here's the place then.
Sep 10, 2006 02:36:51 PM asearcher Pat Richardson waould be cool.
Sep 10, 2006 02:37:15 PM beckettslady There was an older couple who were a big hit in 1995. Can't remember who they are, or if they are still alive. Sorry. :(
Sep 10, 2006 02:37:46 PM CarolD Miz Melanie has passed on. She was a sweetheart.
Sep 10, 2006 02:38:18 PM Chrissie Julie Brown? and Paul perhaps?
Sep 10, 2006 02:38:32 PM maryse Pat Richardson, yes that's her! I think she'd be great
Sep 10, 2006 02:38:32 PM LunarCrystal Okay, so what's the big discussion about then?
Sep 10, 2006 02:38:36 PM Chrissie jJmes Whitmore JNR
Sep 10, 2006 02:38:41 PM CarolD What guests you would like to see.
Sep 10, 2006 02:38:51 PM CarolD Other than Scott and Dean of course.
Sep 10, 2006 02:38:55 PM asearcher I'd like Carolyn Cava...didn't she play Sam's mother?
Sep 10, 2006 02:39:07 PM EmmaCMF Yes, she did
Sep 10, 2006 02:39:12 PM LunarCrystal 'Cause I'll tell ya, I went to the last LeapCon they held back in '96. I don't remember there being such a commotion about it like the proposed '09 con
Sep 10, 2006 02:39:20 PM maryse Not bad, eating Green & Blacks and drinking coffee LOL!
Sep 10, 2006 02:39:24 PM TessCrazy what do you think the likelyhood of getting dean and scott is?
Sep 10, 2006 02:39:34 PM LunarCrystal Let's hope Dean is still alive by '09...
Sep 10, 2006 02:39:48 PM LunarCrystal I don't think he's all that interested in stuff like this anymore, either
Sep 10, 2006 02:39:56 PM LunarCrystal Sorry, just being realisitic
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:06 PM Trudy Don't say that. D:
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:11 PM Chrissie really?
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:13 PM CarolD They both attended all of the previous cons (except Dean in '96) so we're hoping chances are good that they'll come.
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:19 PM TessCrazy lol yeah well... i know he said that he's more into his art now#
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:22 PM tina_als_girl Ooo... How's about Kimberly Cullum?
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:36 PM LunarCrystal Okay, so maybe I have disappointing memories from '96. I really wanted to meet Dean and he didn't show. I figured he lost interest. heh
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:43 PM CarolD But for a 20th anniversary con...such a special occasion. I would think chances are good.
Sep 10, 2006 02:40:57 PM LadyKayoss I hope so!
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:01 PM Cpt Jules I'd say so too. He does appreciate his fans.
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:03 PM LunarCrystal Depends on how big we can make it
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:07 PM asearcher Yeah...20 years is AWESOME!
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:07 PM CarolD We'll all think VERY positive thoughts.
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:10 PM EmmaCMF Dean has done more conventions in the last two years than he did in the 7 years preceeding
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:18 PM LunarCrystal Aye, yes, he does appreciate his fans. That much is true
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:18 PM CarolD It's up to you guys -- spread the word!!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:27 PM judy309 Chances are good.
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:33 PM Namaste Yes,<br>I think that optimism s a good idea at this point.
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:35 PM cre612 Dean does not live nearby anymore though.
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:40 PM Trudy 20 years, and still tons of fans.
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:46 PM LunarCrystal New Mexico...
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:50 PM beckettslady Dean had something come up in 96. I don't remember what.
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:53 PM asearcher OHHHH...how about a big black card with White Letters..."Dr. Sam Beckett Finally Leaped Home...to the 2009 QL Con!"
Sep 10, 2006 02:41:56 PM CarolD NM isn't so very far.
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:04 PM LunarCrystal He *drove* to Dallas from his house, so flying's not out of the question
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:07 PM CarolD That's cute, Helen.
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:08 PM TessCrazy lol tghats good helen
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:09 PM judy309 NM is not far at all.
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:11 PM LunarCrystal He doesn't mind traveling
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:28 PM EmmaCMF We have nearly 3 years to work on him
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:35 PM CarolD And he seemed to have fun at the cons he attended.
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:38 PM maryse Listen if it's the distance, I'd go and pick him up and drive him to the Con. If Scott attends, I'm sure Dean would esp if I did offer to drive him LOL!
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:51 PM beckettslady I wish we had a reason to invite Clive again. He's a hoot!
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:54 PM Cpt Jules Now that would be an idea. Have the convention in Albuquerque.
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:56 PM judy309 Artist and artist!
Sep 10, 2006 02:42:56 PM CarolD OK, Dean's driver is booked, then.
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:07 PM LunarCrystal cute
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:12 PM asearcher There are a lot of LA people who live in Sante Fe and Taos. Not a big deall...They live in LA during the week and fly to NM for the weekend.
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:22 PM Namaste That would be cute.
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:26 PM LunarCrystal Albuquerque's a nice place
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:30 PM asearcher Made house costs in those areas outrageous
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:34 PM beckettslady Wait, Maryse is driving? I thought you guys were scared of her. :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:39 PM TessCrazy lol
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:44 PM Cpt Jules LOL!
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:46 PM maryse Yeah we could talk Art all the way.
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:49 PM judy309 We won't be in the car with her, tho.
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:57 PM EmmaCMF Maryse drives like a Los Angelenos
Sep 10, 2006 02:43:57 PM asearcher Taos is only 3.5 hours from me
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:00 PM CarolD Out of the 227 people who sent surveys, 169 want the con to be all QL, all the time. :) So I dunno about Clive.
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:03 PM LunarCrystal Who's organizing this thing?
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:03 PM maryse Hey I'm a great driver!!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:19 PM judy309 Yes you are Maryse.
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:20 PM beckettslady Ooh. Maryse can draw dean's invite personally.
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:20 PM TessCrazy whos clive?
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:26 PM EmmaCMF Clive Barker, Tess
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:27 PM judy309 As long as I'm not in the car withyou.
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:31 PM CarolD Clive Barker.
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:40 PM LunarCrystal I vote no Clive
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:41 PM TessCrazy [looks him up]
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:48 PM LunarCrystal Wiki
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:52 PM CarolD So, all you guys are definitely coming??
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:57 PM Cpt Jules I'd drive Dean... nuts! It would be all Al all the time.
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:58 PM maryse I could do that. That'd scare him into coming!
Sep 10, 2006 02:44:59 PM EmmaCMF English horror writer
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:09 PM Cpt Jules I'm coming!
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:12 PM asearcher Clive Barker did Lord of Illusion with Scott
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:12 PM EmmaCMF Yay!
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:13 PM Namaste I'm hoping to come Carol.
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:16 PM tina_als_girl The only thing stopping me is finances, but that's hopefully going to change in the next week or so
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:22 PM beckettslady Nah, I wouldn't expect to invite Clive. I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a reason to invite him, but I wanted this to be a QL con as well.
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:22 PM TessCrazy oh
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:28 PM EmmaCMF Fingers crossed then
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:30 PM Namaste I won't say definate, but things are looking good.
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:36 PM Trudy It looks good for me. I put "probably" or something similar on my response, but with three years notice, it's looking good.
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:37 PM Peachkoala if I still can afford a place to live
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:37 PM LunarCrystal Joy... it's not for another three years. Ya got time
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:43 PM EmmaCMF Oh, I love him, and he'd be a great guest, but we really can't justify it
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:43 PM CarolD Excellent, Namaste.
Sep 10, 2006 02:45:57 PM EmmaCMF Unless he comes as a celebrity fan;)
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:04 PM CarolD There you go, Em.
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:06 PM asearcher Kat and I will be in NM in a little less than a month.
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:09 PM LadyKayoss I'll do my best to be there.
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:14 PM CarolD Make him pay the $250!! He can afford it.
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:22 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, three years (well, technically 2.5 considering the con's in March) is a good amount of time
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:24 PM Namaste I will be the only one from Germany probably. ;)
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:35 PM maryse I'm definitely going even if no one turns up. I'll be there on the Queen Mary watching QL DVDs on a laptop
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:40 PM LunarCrystal She guest starred on JAG once or twice, I think
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:45 PM Cpt Jules Hey, if we find a nice place, we'll let you know. :)
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:46 PM EmmaCMF Nice to see lots of Europeans ready to sign up!
Sep 10, 2006 02:46:51 PM TessCrazy did ql air in march?
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:03 PM EmmaCMF March 26th
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:06 PM CarolD Namaste -- if an e-mail address says "de" at the end, is that Germany?
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:09 PM judy309 It began March 26.
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:13 PM EmmaCMF You and me both, Maryse
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:20 PM Namaste yes.
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:23 PM asearcher Namaste...don't be sure. There may be others by that time
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:29 PM CarolD Then we have several Germans interested.
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:29 PM maryse OK well there's 2 then LOL
Sep 10, 2006 02:47:40 PM Namaste de--deutschland.
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:03 PM CarolD We have France, Italy, Germany, Australia, UK.
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:05 PM beckettslady How about Don B?
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:15 PM leaper1 not sure I should be here since I can;t attend
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:23 PM tina_als_girl Definitely gotta try for Don B
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:26 PM LadyKayoss I'd love to see Don.
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:31 PM EmmaCMF I'm winning the lottery Helen
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:33 PM CarolD Your opinions are welcome anyway, Leaper1.
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:48 PM EmmaCMF Then you're coming, you can bring David and the kids on holiday
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:53 PM LunarCrystal No kidding. You know I found an old tape of Don and Dean playing golf for the Starlight Foundation?
Sep 10, 2006 02:48:54 PM asearcher Helen...your ideas are great...and as Scott says...You Never Know.
Sep 10, 2006 02:49:00 PM CarolD We'll certainly invite Don. It was his idea, after all.
Sep 10, 2006 02:49:04 PM TessCrazy lol wow!
Sep 10, 2006 02:49:23 PM Trudy Great!
Sep 10, 2006 02:49:31 PM asearcher 2.5 years...could happen.
Sep 10, 2006 02:49:50 PM Cpt Jules You KNOW Don will be there if he can. QL is one of his babies that he LOVES!
Sep 10, 2006 02:49:58 PM tina_als_girl Can you imagine the kind of attention we could get the con if we got guest stars like Jennifer Aniston or Jason Priestley interested in this?
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:09 PM EmmaCMF LOL! In our dreams
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:09 PM LunarCrystal So do we have vendors? Guest Speakers? Hosts? Maybe some lectures or workshops on QL Theory and plot outline discussions with Fans?
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:14 PM CarolD And Teri Hatcher.
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:20 PM EmmaCMF But we'll try
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:23 PM asearcher I think Teri Hatcher would be AWESOME!!!!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:26 PM EmmaCMF And Marcia Cross
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:27 PM tina_als_girl Teri would be awesome
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:32 PM TessCrazy i agree
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:42 PM LunarCrystal Start contacting their agents
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:42 PM asearcher 1st Real Espisode and great star power from Housewives
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:46 PM Namaste Oh yes, Teri Hatcher, I think she is awesome!!
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:46 PM CarolD I guess...never say never.
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:51 PM TessCrazy lool
Sep 10, 2006 02:50:55 PM EmmaCMF Anything is possible
Sep 10, 2006 02:51:08 PM beckettslady Marcia Cross? Which episode did she do?
Sep 10, 2006 02:51:13 PM CarolD Maybe they'd send a taped message. Who knows.
Sep 10, 2006 02:51:14 PM LunarCrystal True, but PR people get in the way too often.
Sep 10, 2006 02:51:15 PM EmmaCMF Once we have a venue, we will begin the process of contacting guests
Sep 10, 2006 02:51:21 PM EmmaCMF She was in Goodnight, Dear Heart
Sep 10, 2006 02:51:43 PM tina_als_girl Oh, but can't forget about Mimi, though. She may be a little bit easier to get. Oh, and I'd love to see Candy Ann Brown and Gigi Rice....
Sep 10, 2006 02:51:49 PM asearcher I think having MJ talk about The Virtual Seasons would be good. 8 years! It's lastest longer than the show itself!
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:03 PM tina_als_girl Yes, a VS discussion panel would be awesome!
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:04 PM leaper1 oh for sure
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:16 PM Cpt Jules OH, yeah!
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:18 PM CarolD MJ is suffering from sticker shock at our price, I think. But it would be great to have her do a panel.
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:24 PM EmmaCMF We've got all sorts of ideas floating around, including a fanfiction workshop, especially as Carol is a published QL author
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:38 PM Cpt Jules What's the price so far?
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:51 PM beckettslady I would love to see Liz Torres. She's always been a favorite of mine.
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:58 PM LunarCrystal Wish we could get ahold of L. Elizabeth Storm
Sep 10, 2006 02:52:58 PM asearcher You're going to have a number of the writers in attendance if nothing else.
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:05 PM tina_als_girl I think it'd be kinda cool to have a table displaying fanart.... I saw a pic of something similar from a Harry Potter con.... I think a fanart display would be fun
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:11 PM leaper1 yeh, i'm thinking i gotta dig out my books, then u can take one and get Carol to autograph it for me Em
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:13 PM EmmaCMF Cpt Jules,we're still collating all the survey results
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:20 PM LunarCrystal Oh, Fanart displays would be awesome
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:29 PM LunarCrystal I got tons of that meself ^.^
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:30 PM CarolD Not sure on the price yet.
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:37 PM asearcher Have a music video contest...like they did at the ST Con
Sep 10, 2006 02:53:55 PM Cpt Jules That would be fun!
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:00 PM LunarCrystal That's a great idea... music videos have been floating around since the beginning
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:00 PM EmmaCMF Yes, we're planning lots of fan contests
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:00 PM TessCrazy yeah!
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:05 PM CarolD We want to do it as cheap as we can for you guys, so you can afford it, but the hotel space is expensive.
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:17 PM tina_als_girl Ooo... Wouldn't it be fun to do a display of people's fanmade trailers for QL continuations? LOL
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:21 PM beckettslady Smaller cons had costume contests.
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:26 PM CarolD Never fear, it will be worth the price!
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:28 PM asearcher We can share hotel rooms to cutthe cost
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:30 PM LunarCrystal Three years, here, guys... save up now if you wanna go. We have *time*
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:35 PM EmmaCMF Yes, that's the challenge we've been facing - finding a decent venue at a price that won't break the bank
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:37 PM tina_als_girl I'm totally planning a costume (or two) for this
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:41 PM CarolD Yep, music videos, fan art, costume contest, all that.
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:46 PM asearcher I know someone who has already got their Al Costume!
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:58 PM EmmaCMF One place wanted a $30,000 deposit - you see the battle we face!
Sep 10, 2006 02:54:59 PM Cpt Jules LOL! You think?
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:06 PM CarolD I mean meeting room space, Helen.
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:11 PM TessCrazy my plan for going is to find another ql fan when im at uni and convince them to come with me
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:17 PM LunarCrystal Yeah, hotel space is not cheap
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:21 PM Cpt Jules I just bought the most Al-ish shoes!
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:24 PM CarolD Em, I thought you were putting that on your MasterCard.
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:25 PM beckettslady Gee wizZ!
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:31 PM LadyKayoss Anyone who can give costume-making advice?
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:44 PM LunarCrystal What kind of advice do you need?
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:45 PM Trudy I've got a friend who I fangirled with on my blog for awhile; she and I are probably going to hook up for the convention, along with her family.
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:50 PM LunarCrystal FIDM drop out here
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:54 PM LadyKayoss I can't sew well.
Sep 10, 2006 02:55:57 PM EmmaCMF Yeah, I'm gonna whack it on my credit card, suuuuuuure
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:06 PM tina_als_girl I'm gonna have my aunt help me out with the construction; I can design, but sewing... not a chance.
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:08 PM asearcher Ah...you are right...rooms for events are expensive!
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:10 PM TessCrazy FIDM?
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:13 PM CarolD Have you guys stopped by the official con forum? It's been quiet so far. You need to get things hopping, and generate some interest! You're our cheerleaders.
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:13 PM LunarCrystal Ah, well, first step is to practice sewing ^.^
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:15 PM judy309 Think of the frequent flyer milage you'll get Em!
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:20 PM Cpt Jules Wal-Mart has gold, bronze and pewter sandal shoes.
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:23 PM LunarCrystal Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising
Sep 10, 2006 02:56:47 PM TessCrazy ahh
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:00 PM tina_als_girl I'm thinking of taking classes at Joann Fabrics... Would be a lot cheaper than FIDM was going to be
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:11 PM CarolD Al shoes, that's an idea. Metallic shoes are very big this year.
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:12 PM LunarCrystal You know, I usually avoid Wal-mart like the plague but I DID end up buying the coolest Al-ish shoes there. Checkered sneakers. I wear them often
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:19 PM beckettslady How has the resonse been from My Space? Or can you tell?
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:25 PM tina_als_girl So, who knows, maybe my costumes for this con will be my first real sewing projects done by myself
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:35 PM leaper1 Em I was gonna suggest getting my mum to do another cake like she made u - but i don't think it would survive the journey as a raffle item
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:41 PM Cpt Jules Metallix everything is in this year. The 80s are back!
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:45 PM Trudy I mentioned the con over at LJ back when I saw the con advertised at scifi.com's message boards.
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:49 PM TessCrazy ooo is there a myspace site?
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:49 PM tina_als_girl Oh, is there a MySpace for the con?
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:51 PM asearcher Emma...did Lothos throw you off?
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:52 PM Trudy I don't know how many people filled out the survey, though.
Sep 10, 2006 02:57:54 PM EmmaCMF Bum!! Managed to zoom in on the chat and couldn't get back to regular size so had to restart
Sep 10, 2006 02:58:17 PM LunarCrystal So, so far we have over 150 people going to this thing?
Sep 10, 2006 02:58:34 PM tina_als_girl Oooo... a cake... I'd love to design/make one
Sep 10, 2006 02:58:45 PM beckettslady PQL has a My Space Page, but I haven't done much with it. There is a large QL group on there.
Sep 10, 2006 02:58:55 PM beckettslady On My Space, that is.
Sep 10, 2006 02:59:06 PM TessCrazy ooo ill have to add it
Sep 10, 2006 02:59:18 PM leaper1 my mum did two - one for Em, one for PealmutnauQ
Sep 10, 2006 02:59:23 PM CarolD I think Brian is setting up a MySpace page.
Sep 10, 2006 02:59:32 PM asearcher Lothos isn't B**g**man. I'd never use that name!
Sep 10, 2006 02:59:48 PM leaper1 one was a gummi handlink design, the other a computer 'ziggy'
Sep 10, 2006 02:59:49 PM beckettslady Cool. He is in the QL Group, so I'll leave them to him.
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:06 PM EmmaCMF FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:16 PM CarolD What's up, Em?
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:17 PM beckettslady I have my own catching up to do.
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:19 PM maryse What's happening Em?
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:21 PM leaper1 wb em
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:25 PM LunarCrystal Think we should try to get some of Dean's artwork on display?
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:30 PM Cpt Jules *throws handlink at Emma's computer*
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:32 PM LunarCrystal He might appreciate that
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:37 PM Chrissie Em, you are making me dizzy girl
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:39 PM EmmaCMF Well, that's the chat transcript up the swannee
Sep 10, 2006 03:00:59 PM TessCrazy from what i hear dean likes to keep acting and art work seperate
Sep 10, 2006 03:01:07 PM EmmaCMF I think getting Dean's to show artwork is a good idea. Added incentive for him
Sep 10, 2006 03:01:27 PM maryse Getting some of Deans Art would be great!
Sep 10, 2006 03:01:28 PM asearcher Yes...Deans' Artwork would be awesome! Maybe he'd even auction one for the charity.
Sep 10, 2006 03:01:34 PM LunarCrystal That's what I was thinking. His artwork isn't a big secret from his fans, or anything. I think it's a great idea
Sep 10, 2006 03:01:49 PM Chrissie That is such a good idea...the artwork
Sep 10, 2006 03:01:59 PM LunarCrystal And no one would appreciate his artwork more than the people who already admire him as a personality
Sep 10, 2006 03:02:08 PM TessCrazy does anyone have the link to that myspace page? i cant find it
Sep 10, 2006 03:02:28 PM beckettslady the insurance cost might not work out for the committee.
Sep 10, 2006 03:02:30 PM Chrissie And he likes Leap fans
Sep 10, 2006 03:02:32 PM tina_als_girl I'm Joy

Sep 10, 2006 03:02:59 PM EmmaCMF A lot of his work is digital, isn't it? Even if we have an electronic display, it'd be relatively cheap
Sep 10, 2006 03:03:00 PM Chrissie Yep thats me Janice!
Sep 10, 2006 03:03:03 PM Sherdran ah :)

Sep 10, 2006 03:04:08 PM tina_als_girl There's definitely a reason I started going by my middle name instead of first.... Too many Rebekahs out there...
Sep 10, 2006 03:04:15 PM Cpt Jules Knew about that band long ago.
Sep 10, 2006 03:04:41 PM LunarCrystal heh. Yeah, I'm usually okay with Carol - not a lot of Carols in their 20s like me - but to avoid confusion I could go by Selene
Sep 10, 2006 03:04:49 PM Chrissie They drive me mad on Ebay TessCrazy. that and the kids thing
Sep 10, 2006 03:04:50 PM TessCrazy hmm singers a bit out of tune
Sep 10, 2006 03:04:54 PM EmmaCMF And there's the band Sunspot, which have a song called Scott Bakula as a set number - we'll get them to come play the party
Sep 10, 2006 03:05:14 PM TessCrazy kids thing?

Sep 10, 2006 03:05:55 PM Chrissie Didn't they play that song at his 50th B'Day party?
Sep 10, 2006 03:05:55 PM LunarCrystal We'll need to have a piano set up so that someone can make Scott play Somewhere In The Night
Sep 10, 2006 03:05:56 PM EmmaCMF Scott Bakula ... never played Dracula ... played quarterbakula on Necessary Roughness ...

Sep 10, 2006 03:07:20 PM LunarCrystal I vowed to never take the Amtrak again
Sep 10, 2006 03:07:43 PM judy309 I don't think you'd be able to hold your breath across the Atlantic Chris.
Sep 10, 2006 03:07:48 PM Cpt Jules I want Shane!
Sep 10, 2006 03:07:51 PM Trudy Who are the "Cult of Scott Bakula"?
Sep 10, 2006 03:07:55 PM LunarCrystal 9 hours to get from So. California to Northern California... when it could have taken me 1 hour and 50 dollars less
Sep 10, 2006 03:08:01 PM beckettslady I vowed never to fly again.
Sep 10, 2006 03:08:02 PM tina_als_girl The only train I've ever been on is the steam train at Silver Dollar City... LOL
Sep 10, 2006 03:08:02 PM Trudy Shane played a very good Sam.

Sep 10, 2006 03:11:24 PM cre612 The director is the lady who played Tess in QL.
Sep 10, 2006 03:11:33 PM Trudy Okay, now I'm just afraid of your explanation.
Sep 10, 2006 03:11:39 PM TessCrazy oh i see
Sep 10, 2006 03:11:43 PM tina_als_girl Aw, so *that* is what NAOOC stands for... I love that show

Sep 10, 2006 03:12:39 PM EmmaCMF Just searched, and yes, Kari Lizer also created the show
Sep 10, 2006 03:13:10 PM cre612 The show finally started improving towards the end of last season. Scott's episode is hilarious.
Sep 10, 2006 03:13:12 PM beckettslady I posted that!
Sep 10, 2006 03:13:19 PM LunarCrystal Yes, pink. Stands out. People seem to detest pink.

Sep 10, 2006 03:15:24 PM Chrissie I guess I'd like to know if you need anything from us now in the way of help or support
Sep 10, 2006 03:15:46 PM beckettslady After all, no one has taken this on in years!
Sep 10, 2006 03:15:54 PM EmmaCMF Not right now, but once things really start taking off, then yes, we'll need help
Sep 10, 2006 03:15:57 PM CarolD Chris, just spread the word! After the holidays we'll be looking for committee volunteers.
Sep 10, 2006 03:16:07 PM LunarCrystal Fan contests, fanzines, fanart, fan music videos, list of desired guests, autographs, artwork display . . . (is what I said)

Sep 10, 2006 03:16:52 PM LunarCrystal There's no set list of people making the calls and whatnot?
Sep 10, 2006 03:16:52 PM Al The Observer i have a question
Sep 10, 2006 03:16:52 PM Trudy I was thinking of putting together a fancomic.
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:01 PM LunarCrystal Oh, I see
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:02 PM CarolD Main coordinator? That would be Brian. Committee members here: Emma, Judy, and me.
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:08 PM cbc610 Namaste, if you change your background you can lighten the background (Macintosh works for me).
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:34 PM CarolD Fancomic would be cool.
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:35 PM beckettslady It's in the first stages, Lunar.
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:43 PM LunarCrystal I understand, yes
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:48 PM LunarCrystal Oh, fancomic. Excellent
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:52 PM TessCrazy what you say bout me?
Sep 10, 2006 03:17:56 PM Trudy I'm just not entirely sure how legal it'd be, even if it's not-fot-profit.
Sep 10, 2006 03:18:03 PM LunarCrystal Working on drawing Scott and Dean too...
Sep 10, 2006 03:18:03 PM CarolD The main committee will be contacting guests, booking hotel, all that stuff.

Sep 10, 2006 03:18:48 PM Al The Observer will this chat be logged by someone who has been here since the beginning, so that people who arrived late ( :red: ) can see what's been discussed?
Sep 10, 2006 03:19:00 PM leaper1 eve event - a tango contest a la Sea Bride
Sep 10, 2006 03:19:02 PM tina_als_girl Hmmm... Maybe I should start on that Human Highway art series I was planning a few years ago. I think Dean would get a kick out of that
Sep 10, 2006 03:19:02 PM beckettslady Brian asked Sharon about our shopping cart. I pointed him in the right direction, I hope.
Sep 10, 2006 03:19:27 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, I've been here since the beginning and haven't left at all... I can save the transcript if need be
Sep 10, 2006 03:19:50 PM EmmaCMF People are logging the chat, and I think Brian has a way of accessing chat logs
Sep 10, 2006 03:20:40 PM LunarCrystal Human Highway . . . "You put salt in your coffee?" . . . "Always."
Sep 10, 2006 03:20:45 PM EmmaCMF That was the impression I got from Brian, helen
Sep 10, 2006 03:20:52 PM tina_als_girl Oh, does it really do that? That's an awesome feature
Sep 10, 2006 03:21:01 PM Trudy I should get back to reading "The Social World of Batavia". You guys have fun. I'll be back on later.
Sep 10, 2006 03:21:13 PM Trudy See you guys, and good luck!
Sep 10, 2006 03:21:14 PM QL Damsel Hello. I won't be able to stay long. I have to work on the addition to the house. And Yes, Helen, all of the chats are saved on the server. That's why we put up the note that says that all chats, private and public are saved.
Sep 10, 2006 03:22:17 PM judy309 Any other questions?
Sep 10, 2006 03:22:43 PM EmmaCMF Does anybody have any expectations as to what they'd like on the con program?
Sep 10, 2006 03:22:51 PM LunarCrystal I'm willing to collaborate on the fancomic if people are interested in that
Sep 10, 2006 03:22:58 PM beckettslady Not for me. I'm going to sign off myself. Work to do.
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:03 PM tina_als_girl I have no experience with convention programs, so I've no idea
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:18 PM asearcher Anyway to get a flyer to put up?
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:23 PM EmmaCMF A flyer?
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:27 PM CarolD The fancomic might be something we could include in the program book. I'm planning a 100 page book, and we need something to fill it up!
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:32 PM EmmaCMF For circulation?
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:39 PM EmmaCMF That is something we're working on
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:55 PM Namaste I think most of my questions have been asked. I have close to 40US$ already saved in my jar.
Sep 10, 2006 03:23:55 PM EmmaCMF It's not worth doing a flyer until we have a venue and the convention is a 100% certainty
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:06 PM LunarCrystal I do graphics if those are needed and am also willing to provide my skills
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:08 PM tina_als_girl Maybe we could do a couple pages of fanart in it if we can't get a table display....
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:09 PM LadyKayoss Wow... big book!
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:11 PM asearcher Yeah...like in the comic book stores...book stores with Sci Fi
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:15 PM CarolD That's great, Yvette!
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:26 PM EmmaCMF Yes, that's something that will be coming in time, Helen
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:29 PM beckettslady Keep me in mind to help anyway I can.
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:32 PM CarolD Yes, a biggie program. :)
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:39 PM EmmaCMF We don't want to rush out flyers, only to have to change details at a later date
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:42 PM asearcher OK...just wondering
Sep 10, 2006 03:24:52 PM CarolD Like a combination program and zine.
Sep 10, 2006 03:25:02 PM Namaste I do graphics as well. Although ot really from scratch.
Sep 10, 2006 03:25:47 PM CarolD We have a lot of talented people here.
Sep 10, 2006 03:25:47 PM EmmaCMF We have a resident graphic designer, but as the con draws nearer, we will be asking people to join our sub-committees
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:11 PM Namaste I also write, so maybe I can contribute something.
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:13 PM LunarCrystal Indeed. Do keep me in mind. I'd love to help, of course
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:27 PM maryse What you really need to do is get the Con promoted in Sci Fi mags.
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:42 PM CarolD Probably after the holidays. Do some thinking about what type of things you all would like to help with.
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:44 PM EmmaCMF Yup, and that's also coming up soon
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:49 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, once everything is finalized, an ad in, say, Sci-Fi Channel magazine would be cool
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:54 PM asearcher Are you guys awre of Sci Fi Studios? http://www.scifi-studios.com/hollywood/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=51&Itemid=86
Sep 10, 2006 03:26:58 PM LunarCrystal Message boards at IMDB. Would they allow con promotion?
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:04 PM EmmaCMF We're thinking about a new fanzine, so we need some authors
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:12 PM EmmaCMF I've posted at the IMDB and nobody replied
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:13 PM CarolD And artists.
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:22 PM beckettslady Not Scif Fi Studios.
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:32 PM asearcher They might be interested in this
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:35 PM tina_als_girl Psshaw... IMDb allows almost anything, unfortunately
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:37 PM beckettslady Guys, wikipedia.
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:41 PM LunarCrystal Mmm, yes
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:48 PM LunarCrystal Wiki, yes, there you go
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:57 PM Namaste I'd love to write something.
Sep 10, 2006 03:27:59 PM tina_als_girl Well, I write and do art, so I'd definitely love to contribute to a fanzine
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:06 PM CarolD Once we decide it's a go, and have dates and a venue, we'll be checking with you guys for PR ideas.
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:08 PM EmmaCMF Great
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:10 PM asearcher Donna...I'm confused..are you saying you don't know them or you do know that and you are saying no?
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:15 PM maryse So when do you plan on having a Venue organised?
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:17 PM judy309 Fantastic.
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:26 PM EmmaCMF Hopefully by January
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:28 PM EmmaCMF Or sooner!
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:36 PM CarolD Maryse...as soon as they respond to Judy!!
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:39 PM judy309 With any luck.
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:40 PM LunarCrystal How are we raising money for the venue?
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:44 PM beckettslady I'm on the QL page. Got booted off of Scott's page, or reorganizied into a fansite page.
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:45 PM LunarCrystal 30,000 is not cheap
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:47 PM EmmaCMF And Maryse, you'll be doing hotel walk around with us in December!
Sep 10, 2006 03:28:49 PM CarolD Tickets, Lunar.
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:02 PM asearcher I can put a little in.
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:03 PM EmmaCMF So we need you guys to register as soon as you can
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:04 PM LunarCrystal Tickets when where how?
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:12 PM CarolD Lunar, we're not going with the $30,000 place.
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:15 PM EmmaCMF When we have a venue
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:17 PM beckettslady I know SciFi Studios. They're into their own projects and cons.
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:22 PM EmmaCMF No, we decline their offer
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:24 PM CarolD Tickets sold to you guys.
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:34 PM LunarCrystal Carol, I understand that, but I was just using that as an example
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:43 PM asearcher I don't think I can pay the whole con price right this minute...but I could contribute some. Don't finish school until March
Sep 10, 2006 03:29:45 PM maryse How many hotels are on the possible list?
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:03 PM CarolD Helen, we'll be offering an installment plan.
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:04 PM EmmaCMF We're waiting for a hotel to get back to us right now
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:05 PM LunarCrystal Is there an account set up for the Con sales?
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:16 PM EmmaCMF There will be
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:19 PM CarolD Not yet, Lunar.
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:24 PM LunarCrystal Okay.
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:28 PM CarolD Probably January.
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:31 PM EmmaCMF Again, that is something that has to wait until we have concrete plans
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:39 PM LunarCrystal What's the most reasonably priced venue you've found so far?
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:53 PM QL Damsel A question for the convention heads: How many people have actually given any imput into the survey? Do we have enough input to constitute a convention of this magnitute? I mean, I don't know.... I'm not a part of the committee.
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:56 PM asearcher Thanks Donna...I don't know much about them
Sep 10, 2006 03:31:00 PM CarolD Don't have one...we're waiting for them to respond to Judy (our hotel contact).
Sep 10, 2006 03:31:03 PM maryse So how many hotels 2, 3 , just planning my walk EM LOL
Sep 10, 2006 03:31:13 PM CarolD MJ -- 227 survey responses.
Sep 10, 2006 03:31:29 PM QL Damsel Are they viable?
Sep 10, 2006 03:31:31 PM EmmaCMF Unfortunately, for the hotels, the con is a long way off, so it's not a pressing concern - for THEM. For us, it matters!
Sep 10, 2006 03:31:40 PM LunarCrystal Is that how many people say they'll be able to go?
Sep 10, 2006 03:31:48 PM CarolD 109 definitely coming, 50 probably, 66 only if Scott and Dean come.
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:02 PM CarolD We're figuring a 20% dropout rate.
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:05 PM LunarCrystal So say 100 people show up
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:22 PM CarolD We're hoping for 150-200.
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:23 PM EmmaCMF Yes?
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:29 PM Namaste I take it you're still accepting surveys if we happen to find other people outside this forum who might be interested?
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:30 PM LunarCrystal Right.
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:30 PM judy309 Yes?
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:46 PM EmmaCMF Oh, we're taking surveys indefinitely
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:49 PM CarolD We're taking surveys until the end of the year.
Sep 10, 2006 03:32:57 PM judy309 Absolutely.
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:06 PM CarolD And people could still buy a ticket, if they didn't complete a survey.
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:10 PM beckettslady You may have lost some people with the online survey issue.
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:14 PM LunarCrystal 100 at 20 bucks a pop... = 2000
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:19 PM Namaste OK, I'll keep passing on hte word to the sci-fi fans at my forum.
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:22 PM EmmaCMF How so, Donna?
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:22 PM QL Damsel I don't want to be the wet blanket and put out the fire. I just don't want to start saving money for this event that my whole family (5) would have to save for.... and then have to cancel because of things going sour.
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:55 PM tina_als_girl Well, you could always turn it into a trip to Disneyland or something
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:55 PM CarolD MJ -- couldn't you use the money for something else, if the con didn't happen?
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:57 PM tina_als_girl :)
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:05 PM beckettslady Life is never certain.
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:07 PM EmmaCMF QL Damsel, don't commit any money until the official 'It's happening' annoucement
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:24 PM QL Damsel Because we are working on an addition and all of our money and resources are going into it.... and my husband's job is in an iffy situation.
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:26 PM Chrissie Were Universal going to clebrate this at all? Whats their imput been like? Any help there?
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:27 PM Namaste I figure it this way, if I save a bunch of cash and it 'goes sour', then you have all this money to do something else.
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:34 PM LunarCrystal Anyway, just tryin' to keep it real
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:38 PM CarolD True, Yvette.
Sep 10, 2006 03:34:48 PM EmmaCMF Brian is in contact with the legal and PR departments at Universal
Sep 10, 2006 03:35:11 PM CarolD Once we commit to doing this -- the only reason it would "not happen" would be if Legal shut us down.
Sep 10, 2006 03:35:28 PM Chrissie It would be a good thing for them wouldn't it? Publicity-wise. Might they give you some actual help?
Sep 10, 2006 03:35:41 PM CarolD And we're being very careful not to step on their (Legal) toes.
Sep 10, 2006 03:35:47 PM EmmaCMF And as the last two QL conventions took place with no input from Universal, the chances of them shutting us down are close to nil
Sep 10, 2006 03:35:54 PM Namaste My husband and I managed to finance our trip to Italy through the jar and Ebay selling.
Sep 10, 2006 03:36:01 PM asearcher Hopefully Legal won't do that. I mean...it's good for the sale of their DVDs and such
Sep 10, 2006 03:36:07 PM EmmaCMF I hope so, Chris
Sep 10, 2006 03:36:18 PM CarolD We're thinking of all possibilities -- we'll have insurance, so if an earthquake hit and the hotel fell down, you guys would get your money back.
Sep 10, 2006 03:36:32 PM tina_als_girl I'm thinking of having people commission tattoo designs from me to earn a bit of cash on the side to help save up for this
Sep 10, 2006 03:36:42 PM QL Damsel With everything that has happened with Universal.... I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them and not's not that far.
Sep 10, 2006 03:36:42 PM EmmaCMF Good idea!
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:14 PM EmmaCMF They've been good to Brian, so whatever my personal feelings are about Universal, I can't fault them for that, QL Damsel
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:16 PM CarolD MJ, maybe you could chat or e-mail the committee privately later, and share your concerns?
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:29 PM CarolD You seem very worried about something bad happening.
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:35 PM Namaste Maybe in the con forum, we can post ideas to save money for this. It might inspire more members to want to try.
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:36 PM EmmaCMF our e-mail is committee@leapback2009.com
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:36 PM asearcher Carol...are you saying this convention is an Earth Shaking event?
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:46 PM CarolD Helen, LOL!!
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:52 PM TessCrazy lol
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:53 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, that's a great idea for a thread!
Sep 10, 2006 03:38:05 PM QL Damsel I'm sorry. I'm just trying to be realistic. Excuse me.
Sep 10, 2006 03:38:08 PM CarolD Yes, Yvette, send people over to the con forum and get some interest going there.
Sep 10, 2006 03:38:36 PM beckettslady Well, now I'm cheered up.
Sep 10, 2006 03:38:45 PM EmmaCMF Guys, feel free to post about the convention in any forum that you think might be interested
Sep 10, 2006 03:38:53 PM TessCrazy what did i miss in here?
Sep 10, 2006 03:39:12 PM asearcher Link's are good to put where you can too.
Sep 10, 2006 03:39:14 PM Namaste I just know that I have acconplished a lot in my life with ideas like this.
Sep 10, 2006 03:39:30 PM asearcher Back to the con forum.
Sep 10, 2006 03:39:41 PM CarolD Yes, link where you can, and spread the word.
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:01 PM EmmaCMF Maryse and Brian are working on web banners, and if you guys could 'wear' them once they are available, that'd be great
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:16 PM tina_als_girl Hmmm... hadn't thought of that; I'll see about putting a link in my signature on all the many, many various message boards I'm a member of
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:17 PM Chrissie Can we use the con logo to advertise on our own websites?
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:30 PM Namaste I'll do it in hte forums where I frequent.
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:38 PM EmmaCMF yes, Chris, you can
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:38 PM CarolD Excellent!
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:42 PM beckettslady I think it's important to realize everything has just begun to come together. Bring your ideas to the table, but most importantly, bring your enthusiasm and your hope.
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:44 PM Chrissie Oh sorry you sort of answered that already
Sep 10, 2006 03:40:54 PM asearcher BTW...Kat and I are doing a QL "Trip"...we're going to the Trinity Bomb Site where QL was supposed to be. I'll get pictures during the entire trip of things that are supposed to be QL.
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:05 PM EmmaCMF Great!
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:13 PM judy309 Sounds like fun!
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:17 PM Chrissie I like the idea of a QL sightseeing trip round LA
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:24 PM tina_als_girl Oh, that sounds like an awesome trip
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:30 PM judy309 It's in the works!
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:30 PM Al The Observer will there be a small banner link available that will be appropiately sized for forum signatures?
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:38 PM Namaste That would be cool Chrissie.
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:44 PM CarolD Helen, I took that trip in 1995. It was fun! Digital photos would be great -- we could do a little slide show.
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:47 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, wasn't there an observatory in LA where they filmed an outside scene for Goodby Norma Jean?
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:50 PM EmmaCMF Judy has been researching, but the filming locations are quite widespread
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:53 PM LadyKayoss Have fun with your trip!
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:58 PM CarolD Yes, Griffith Observatory.
Sep 10, 2006 03:41:59 PM EmmaCMF Yes, the Griffith Observatory
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:05 PM beckettslady The Arch-Angels board has a wonderful banner exchange. It's rolling at the bottom of their forum.
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:12 PM tina_als_girl Okie dokie, couldn't remember the name of it
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:13 PM EmmaCMF And the Bradbury Building
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:15 PM CarolD We'll work on a small banner signature for you guys.
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:22 PM judy309 There will probably be multiple trips in order to keep locations close together for the QL Driving tour.
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:22 PM EmmaCMF Yes, there will be a range of banner sizes
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:39 PM tina_als_girl Bradbury.... which building is that?
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:42 PM CarolD We appreciate your support SO much.
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:46 PM beckettslady Web rings?
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:53 PM asearcher The only thing is...the "desert scenes" in the opening are Monument Valey...not Trinity Bomb Site.
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:54 PM EmmaCMF From the Seymour episode
Sep 10, 2006 03:42:56 PM judy309 Play It Again Seymour - Bradbury Building.
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:00 PM EmmaCMF The office building
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:00 PM LadyKayoss QL Driving Tour?
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:15 PM judy309 Yes.
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:16 PM Namaste Then it sounds like everything is really coming together, and I'm psyched.
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:20 PM tina_als_girl Ah, okay.... I think they used that same building in Mr. Wrong for Dean's office scene.... it looked quite similar, at last
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:22 PM tina_als_girl *least
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:23 PM EmmaCMF yes, we're hoping to have a map marked with QL filming locations
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:26 PM LunarCrystal How about promoting the LeapCon at other cons?
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:28 PM asearcher That would be so COOL!
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:37 PM EmmaCMF Yes, that's on the agenda, Lunar
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:38 PM CarolD Keep an eye on the con forum -- we'll post updates there.
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:50 PM CarolD Absolutely, Lunar.
Sep 10, 2006 03:43:57 PM CarolD We'll have flyers after the New Year.
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:01 PM LunarCrystal k - just checking. Thinking of any promotional opportunity here
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:10 PM EmmaCMF And guys, please make use of the convention forum, and post any ideas or comments you might have
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:22 PM tina_als_girl I might be able to hook up some help from my fellow Rumrunners to have them put out info on the con at places like Comic Con and Dragon*Con
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:22 PM asearcher It's like that quote of Sam'
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:24 PM LunarCrystal Absolutely. No problem
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:29 PM Chrissie What about trying to get the costumes from that exhibition they had in LA earlier this year?
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:32 PM asearcher Any promotion is good
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:41 PM Namaste Will there be more chats like this during this year?
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:55 PM EmmaCMF Jean Pierre Dorleac has the costumes, so we'll ask him
Sep 10, 2006 03:44:59 PM tina_als_girl A costume display would be *so* awesome
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:06 PM LunarCrystal Oh, yes, costume displays
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:08 PM CarolD Yes, we'll have chats every so often.
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:10 PM asearcher There were only 4 costumes.
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:11 PM LunarCrystal Must contact the costumers
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:20 PM beckettslady Guys, I was thinking PQL could do with the occasional table at a con. Maybe we can split costs?
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:26 PM LunarCrystal I went to see them and didn't take pictures... grr
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:34 PM Namaste my pleasure. :) Take care everyone and thanks loads for all the information.
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:36 PM LunarCrystal My favorite Al jacket was up!
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:41 PM EmmaCMF That's something to think aboud, Donna
Sep 10, 2006 03:45:56 PM EmmaCMF Which jacket is that, Lunar?
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:06 PM EmmaCMF I like the stop sign jacket, personally
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:07 PM LunarCrystal The purple suade with silver metallic trim
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:21 PM EmmaCMF Aaaah
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:22 PM LunarCrystal He wore it in Temptation Eyes
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:26 PM asearcher They wouldn't allow pictures. I asked.
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:27 PM LunarCrystal Indeed.
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:30 PM EmmaCMF Gotcha
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:36 PM LunarCrystal I know, but I would have taken pics anyway
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:38 PM LunarCrystal heh
Sep 10, 2006 03:46:55 PM asearcher I don't break rules.
Sep 10, 2006 03:47:06 PM cbc610 If I can figure out how to go.....guess I'll just close the window.
Sep 10, 2006 03:47:21 PM LunarCrystal --- has a loose definition of scruples
Sep 10, 2006 03:47:24 PM CarolD I have about 10 more minutes -- anybody have any specific questions left?
Sep 10, 2006 03:47:29 PM Al The Observer push the back button on your browser to leave
Sep 10, 2006 03:47:58 PM asearcher Perhaps a recap...
Sep 10, 2006 03:48:03 PM tina_als_girl I don't *think* I have any more questions. If anything comes to me, I'll be sure to post it on the forum....
Sep 10, 2006 03:48:12 PM asearcher You haven't a venue set but several on the table.
Sep 10, 2006 03:48:14 PM EmmaCMF That'd be great, Joy
Sep 10, 2006 03:48:21 PM asearcher You should know by January
Sep 10, 2006 03:48:36 PM EmmaCMF Yes, our options are open right now, but we are narrowing the field
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:01 PM asearcher There will be lots of things to do at the con and a really awesome program
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:02 PM EmmaCMF I will be visiting Judy in December, and we are going to do in-person visits to the hotels
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:21 PM EmmaCMF e-mail us at committee@leapback2009.com
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:29 PM EmmaCMF We'll all get a copy
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:40 PM judy309 Great.
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:44 PM LunarCrystal So, someone make a list of the different events and displays we want - probably on the forum, and try to sign up volunteers for all the different things we need done
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:45 PM asearcher You're taking names as to who might be guest speakers...appearances
Sep 10, 2006 03:49:51 PM CarolD Helen, you have it down.
Sep 10, 2006 03:50:19 PM asearcher That's why I'm recapping. For the record.
Sep 10, 2006 03:50:46 PM asearcher Call it my secretary for organizations sensibility
Sep 10, 2006 03:51:17 PM asearcher You are planning on having a drive map of QL locations.
Sep 10, 2006 03:51:22 PM LunarCrystal Is there anything else I can do to help?
Sep 10, 2006 03:51:42 PM EmmaCMF Not right now, but once the sub-committees are up and running, then yes!
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:05 PM LunarCrystal Well, I'm on the boards, you know where to find me
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:06 PM EmmaCMF Other than getting the word out to as many forums as possible
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:07 PM Al The Observer i've never been to a convention, and i live across the country, but what can i do to help?
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:08 PM CarolD Check the con forum for the small banners, Lunar -- there'll be a lot of chatting going on there.
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:11 PM EmmaCMF Thanks
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:35 PM LunarCrystal Righto
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:35 PM asearcher You know I'll do anything I can.
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:38 PM EmmaCMF For now, Al, help us get the word out. Link to leapback2009.com in any signatures you have
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:39 PM tina_als_girl Hmmm... just looked, and an estimated roundtrip ticket through Midwest for me will be around $316... Not bad at all, really
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:48 PM CarolD Al, just check in at the con forum. After New Year's, we'll have volunteer sign-up.
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:50 PM Al The Observer ok, emma. will do
Sep 10, 2006 03:52:57 PM EmmaCMF You guys rock
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:02 PM Al The Observer i'll do that too carol
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:06 PM asearcher LA can be a really good deal to fly to
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:27 PM CarolD Yes, LA's a hub, so you can get good prices.
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:34 PM judy309 Flight deals are out there all the time.
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:36 PM LunarCrystal Are definitely doing this in L.A.?
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:36 PM Al The Observer i don't fly. i'm planning on driving. i figure i'll take a week off for travel to and from
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:44 PM CarolD If we can get the forum really hopping, it will generate interest.
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:49 PM EmmaCMF The committee are all VERY excited about this convention too, and the good thing about having a fan run convention is that the committee know what THEY want to see as fans, which translates to an excellent convention!
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:53 PM CarolD Al, are you Amtrak-ing too, or driving?
Sep 10, 2006 03:53:55 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, the worst is when we want to visit family in Fresno... Flying direct is TERRIBLY expensive... I do think I'm going to make this a week-long trip so I can visit family
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:02 PM EmmaCMF Definitely LA
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:08 PM EmmaCMF Makes it easier to get guests
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:09 PM LunarCrystal Took me a day and a half to drive from Milwaukee to L.A. ^.^
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:12 PM judy309 Yes LA
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:12 PM asearcher Check things like Travel Zoo, Shermans Travel, Away Network...they often advertise special savings.
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:21 PM Al The Observer i didn't even think of amtrak! i can take the crescent to NOLA, and then the sunset to LA
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:39 PM Al The Observer there's a station here in birmingham
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:40 PM CarolD I'm going Amtrak.
Sep 10, 2006 03:54:52 PM LunarCrystal 'Course that was barely any sleep and at break neck speeds, but that's neither here nor there
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:02 PM CarolD LOL, Lunar.
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:13 PM LunarCrystal Yeah, I *really* wanted to get home. heh
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:19 PM CarolD We could set something up, perhaps, to car pool and share driving?
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:21 PM tina_als_girl I'd go Amtrak, but it's a lot longer of a trip compared to flying... plus I really, really love flying
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:24 PM Al The Observer i really like amtrak
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:25 PM asearcher Amtrak is a nice way to travel...A bit expensive for Pullmen...but otherwise, very nice.
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:29 PM CarolD I'm sure a few people would go by car if they could.
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:31 PM LunarCrystal Car pooling is always a good idea
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:53 PM maryse I wouldn't worry about transport at this stage LOL you have 3 years to worry about that.
Sep 10, 2006 03:55:53 PM LunarCrystal And driving across the country is a wonderful adventure!
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:08 PM judy309 That it is, Lunar.
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:12 PM Al The Observer i tend to plan way far ahead
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:18 PM asearcher I can give great info on Route 66
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:19 PM tina_als_girl Oh, I've done all three major routes from KC to California -- south on 40, middle on 70 (that's the most worst -- Kansas is BORING), north through Dakota and Wyoming.
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:24 PM LunarCrystal Never hurts to plan ahead
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:24 PM Al The Observer and then procrastinate on the details until the day before
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:30 PM CarolD We can start a thread. Drivers on the East Coast could pick people up along the way.
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:37 PM EmmaCMF If you check out the forum, there is a section for travel and hotels; you guys can all figure out who is coming from where
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:53 PM Al The Observer that would be great
Sep 10, 2006 03:56:57 PM asearcher That could work. Drop them off on the way back!
Sep 10, 2006 03:57:12 PM LunarCrystal the 70 was rather uneventful, I remember...
Sep 10, 2006 03:57:14 PM Al The Observer i still have some blue q's that i could carry with me so all the cars with the blue q's can stick together
Sep 10, 2006 03:57:19 PM LunarCrystal Great rock formations, though.
Sep 10, 2006 03:57:42 PM asearcher 70 is great from Colorado to Utah
Sep 10, 2006 03:57:50 PM CarolD It would be more fun traveling with fellow fans, too, right? Boring to drive alone.
Sep 10, 2006 03:57:55 PM tina_als_girl Until you reach Colorado, 70 is horribly boring. I still can't believe the US Govt. actually paid money to do a survey to prove that Kansas is flatter than a pancake.... Anyone can see that! :D
Sep 10, 2006 03:58:02 PM Al The Observer oh absolutely carol
Sep 10, 2006 03:58:19 PM EmmaCMF Playing the QL soundtrack, it'd be a blast!
Sep 10, 2006 03:58:21 PM leaper1 tongue firmly in cheek - when u r doing the 'drives' bit - dont forget the incident on Mullholland Drive In "Terror Firma" ! lol
Sep 10, 2006 03:58:42 PM EmmaCMF You just HAD to go there, didn'tcha, Helen?
Sep 10, 2006 03:58:43 PM LunarCrystal http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs10/i/2006/131/5/9/Ghost_Ridge_by_HeadTraumaPro.jpg Took this pic on our Cross Country trip
Sep 10, 2006 03:58:43 PM tina_als_girl Hmmm... you know, if I could make sure I get enough time off whatever work I'm doing by then, I might be interested in a car trip. Been a while since I've done a MO to CA trip...
Sep 10, 2006 03:58:45 PM leaper1 whole leap set in LA
Sep 10, 2006 03:59:17 PM asearcher 40 goes along Route 66 from OKC to Barstow
Sep 10, 2006 03:59:20 PM tina_als_girl Oooo... that's pretty
Sep 10, 2006 03:59:33 PM leaper1 shucks Em
Sep 10, 2006 03:59:45 PM Al The Observer i was forbidden to access your picture lunar
Sep 10, 2006 03:59:50 PM asearcher Ohhh...that's an idea...how about a worldwide link...QL soundtrack (or at least one sone)
Sep 10, 2006 04:00:03 PM LunarCrystal Aye, it was 2 in the morning on the 70 . . . both my sis and I were nervous about the occasional truck passing by... heh
Sep 10, 2006 04:00:08 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, I liked the 40 route. I love stopping at the giant cross in Texas and looking at all the statues and what-not
Sep 10, 2006 04:00:11 PM EmmaCMF What do you mean, Helen?
Sep 10, 2006 04:00:34 PM asearcher song even...We've done it off chat several times.
Sep 10, 2006 04:00:39 PM LunarCrystal Sorry, Al. Let me try another link
Sep 10, 2006 04:00:57 PM leaper1 u sayin I had to go there! Em
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:02 PM asearcher Well...everyone on the site cues up the same song at the same time. We're all listening together.
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:06 PM EmmaCMF I don't know what you mean. Are you talking about everyyone playing the song at the same time, Helen?
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:17 PM asearcher Imagine would be cool or the Medley
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:20 PM EmmaCMF Oooh, gotcha. I just didn't undertand how it related to the convention
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:24 PM leaper1 oh soz wrong helen
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:37 PM LunarCrystal http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33136359/?qo=11&q=by%3Aheadtraumapro+sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:38 PM asearcher Yeah...we've done it off chat before. It's sort of cool
Sep 10, 2006 04:01:39 PM LunarCrystal Try that
Sep 10, 2006 04:02:13 PM CarolD Got to get going, guys -- family dinner at my parents'. Nice chatting with all of you! See you on the Forum.
Sep 10, 2006 04:02:28 PM asearcher But if we did it worldwide...even those not there could join in. Al QL fans around the world...joined together for a song. That could even get in the papers.
Sep 10, 2006 04:02:52 PM tina_als_girl OMG, that's a fun idea, Helen!
Sep 10, 2006 04:02:57 PM CarolD And thanks again for all your support, guys!!!
Sep 10, 2006 04:03:29 PM leaper1 thank u for all ur hard work Carol
Sep 10, 2006 04:03:34 PM asearcher Not a problem...we're going for it!!!!!!!
Sep 10, 2006 04:04:14 PM tina_als_girl Yes, thanks to all for such an awesome event to look forward to!
Sep 10, 2006 04:04:37 PM LunarCrystal Indeed. Much work to do, and three years to do it. I'm not worried.
Sep 10, 2006 04:04:52 PM LunarCrystal And I'm glad you like the picture, Al.
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:05 PM LunarCrystal Strange - I get a very odd feeling of exhileration when I call you Al. heh
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:09 PM asearcher Time creeps up on you (even if its within your own lifetime)
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:11 PM EmmaCMF We're gonna work our butts off to give you a great convention
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:20 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, I'm looking forward to Tuesday--have a job interview with a library.... It sounds like a really good job for me. Won't be making much as it's part-time, but it's still something to allow me to save up money
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:25 PM Al The Observer it's great, lunar. it reminds me of the exterior of pql
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:27 PM judy309 That we will!
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:36 PM LunarCrystal That it does!
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:55 PM asearcher Good luck Joy...will be think ing of your.
Sep 10, 2006 04:05:58 PM EmmaCMF Well, guys, I think we can bring the chat to a close
Sep 10, 2006 04:06:26 PM EmmaCMF Keep checking the convention forum for news, and things will really start picking up in the new year
Sep 10, 2006 04:06:29 PM LadyKayoss This will be my first QL convention - I'm glad to know it'll be a good one!
Sep 10, 2006 04:06:39 PM EmmaCMF Please post any ideas that you might have to the forum
Sep 10, 2006 04:06:45 PM LunarCrystal Let's keep the interest going. I'm sure we'll be successful in the end if we all work hard towards our goal
Sep 10, 2006 04:06:49 PM tina_als_girl Will do!
Sep 10, 2006 04:07:02 PM judy309 Wonderful.
Sep 10, 2006 04:07:09 PM asearcher This will be my first QL one...I've been to 4 ST ones (3 local and the one in Vegas)
Sep 10, 2006 04:07:14 PM LadyKayoss I'll help however I can!
Sep 10, 2006 04:07:19 PM EmmaCMF QL cons rock
Sep 10, 2006 04:07:23 PM tina_als_girl It'll be my first convention ever, for anything
Sep 10, 2006 04:07:46 PM EmmaCMF Take care everyone, and thank you once again
Sep 10, 2006 04:08:09 PM LunarCrystal Any news on the next Dean appearance by chance?
Sep 10, 2006 04:08:36 PM tina_als_girl Not that I've heard, though I've been kinda out of it the last week or so (had all 4 wisdom teeth out)
Sep 10, 2006 04:08:46 PM Al The Observer ack poor joy
Sep 10, 2006 04:08:47 PM tina_als_girl Night!
Sep 10, 2006 04:08:58 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, it was a pain, but it had to be done
Sep 10, 2006 04:09:15 PM asearcher I haven't heard anything for Dean or Scott...other then Scott will be appearing in the (someone help with the name of the show)...next Monday?
Sep 10, 2006 04:09:26 PM EmmaCMF New Adventures of Old Christine
Sep 10, 2006 04:09:37 PM EmmaCMF On the 25th of September, and another episode the week after
Sep 10, 2006 04:09:38 PM asearcher That's it.
Sep 10, 2006 04:09:53 PM asearcher thankyou
Sep 10, 2006 04:09:57 PM tina_als_girl Awesome, can't wait for those episodes. I really do like that show. It's great that Scott's gonna be on there
Sep 10, 2006 04:10:00 PM Al The Observer does that come on network, or just cable
Sep 10, 2006 04:10:08 PM tina_als_girl It's on.... CBS?
Sep 10, 2006 04:10:23 PM asearcher Network...after 2 1/2 men I think
Sep 10, 2006 04:10:31 PM Al The Observer what night
Sep 10, 2006 04:10:34 PM Al The Observer and time
Sep 10, 2006 04:10:54 PM asearcher Mondays...Time????
Sep 10, 2006 04:10:58 PM EmmaCMF CBS, Mondays at 9 I believe
Sep 10, 2006 04:11:11 PM tina_als_girl Hmmm... Mondays, 8:30pm Eastern
Sep 10, 2006 04:11:14 PM tina_als_girl on CBS
Sep 10, 2006 04:11:16 PM Al The Observer if i remember, i can watch it while i'm at work
Sep 10, 2006 04:11:17 PM asearcher Is that eastern?
Sep 10, 2006 04:11:54 PM LunarCrystal Aye. And listen, if anyone needs help with graphics, writing, whatever, I'm listed. I have a portfolio even if you want to see that. I'm available.
Sep 10, 2006 04:11:58 PM asearcher OK...then 8:30 Mountain too. (caue East coast runs then they run for west)
Sep 10, 2006 04:12:45 PM asearcher I think that would make it 7:30 both Central and Pacific
Sep 10, 2006 04:12:57 PM asearcher But I could be wrong. Best to check local listings
Sep 10, 2006 04:13:07 PM tina_als_girl Yeah, it'd be 7:30pm Central, not sure on Pacific... I think that'd be 8:30
Sep 10, 2006 04:13:25 PM EmmaCMF Right, signing out.Guys, if I could ask you not to quote or post anything from this chat anywhere other than at Alsplace forum, that would be great
Sep 10, 2006 04:13:29 PM Al The Observer that should make it 7:30 central
Sep 10, 2006 04:13:50 PM EmmaCMF I'm from England, so I have no clue about American times
Sep 10, 2006 04:13:54 PM judy309 Thank you all for joining the chat. I too, have to log out as well.
Sep 10, 2006 04:14:02 PM EmmaCMF See you in the Future!
