Yes, where's the stampede??;) |
Sep 10, 2006 01:57:55 PM |
EmmaCMF |
I know that Maryse is supposed to be coming,

They'll wander in shortly...I hope. |

So, Joy, you've got 3 committee members
here. Got any questions? |
Sep 10, 2006 01:58:40 PM |

None that I can think of at the moment... |

You have our undivided attention!! |

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 |

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? |

Awesom |

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 |

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 |

Yes, it is viable, but more is always
better. |

Isn't it gorgeous? |
Sep 10, 2006 02:01:32 PM |

Yes, it seems to work well. And the layout

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 |

Maryse is on her way, she's trying to find

Great! |
Sep 10, 2006 02:03:03 PM |

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. |

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 |

Let's hope he's been checking things out. It
would be great to have him participate. |
Sep 10, 2006 02:04:20 PM |

Yeah, I told him everyone would be thrilled
to hear from someone who's worked on QL |

What is the list of possibilities? |
Sep 10, 2006 02:13:13 PM |

Brian's idea was, if you can save $1 a day,
you'll have the money with no problem. |

The hotel we are hoping to secure is near

Some holiday inns have a VIP program that's

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

How many hotels are on the possible list? |
Sep 10, 2006 03:30:03 PM |

Probably January. |

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 |

Thanks Donna...I don't know much about them |

Sep 10, 2006 03:31:13 PM |

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 |

We're hoping for 150-200. |

We're taking surveys until the end of the

judy309 |
Absolutely. |
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:06 PM |

And people could still buy a ticket, if they
didn't complete a survey. |
Sep 10, 2006 03:33:10 PM |

You may have lost some people with the
online survey issue. |

I don't want to be the wet blanket and put

Well, you could always turn it into a trip

Were Universal going to clebrate this at
all? Whats their imput been like? Any help there? |

I figure it this way, if I save a bunch of

Anyway, just tryin' to keep it real |

True, Yvette. |

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 |

My husband and I managed to finance our trip
to Italy through the jar and Ebay selling. |

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

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 |

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. |

Good idea! |
Sep 10, 2006 03:37:14 PM |

MJ, maybe you could chat or e-mail the

You seem very worried about something bad

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! |

Al, are you Amtrak-ing too, or driving? |
