Cool, I'm there. Will there be a hotel recommendation so that collectors can bring their goodies and do some mad trades with beer in hand?

Yes, ideally it would be cool if everyone was in the same hotel so we had easy access to chill. Orlando is pretty big so we wouldn't want to be scattered, it wouldn't be too efficient. ;D I have a good idea of the location, I just need to check around at the prices closer to the event.

This is one of the main reasons why TCT wanted announce this almost a year out. This gives people plenty of time to hold that date. Things come up, of course but many things can happen a weekend earlier or a weekend later. Cost is the other reason. It gives people time to save and it's one of the cheapest places to go for what you get back in return. Plus a lot of the artists live on the east coast or close to it. Direct flights might make their decision to attend easier. ;D Who knows, maybe a few artists get together and get a space on artist alley to do sketches and stuff for people.

Sweetness. Consequently, my girlfriend is a stewardess at Virgin America and I fly it for free. Consequently x2, Virgin America just picked up Orlando as a new destination this coming June.

You're probably more familiar with its sister airline- Virgin Atlantic.

Florida in March means early season golf for me...cheap greens fees. Sounds like a good time. Be intersting to see of we can get some artist down. Maybe put togeather a Q&A pannel. Getting Topps in the house to talk about the future of GPK would be bigtime too. If they realized that their audience here acounts for x-amount of dollars in sales for each release they might be willing to send someone down. Diez is close I'm sure he would post. I think you could get a smaller room at the Con Center for sorta cheap as well for any kind of forum mentioned above.
There are some possibilities here if we get creative and raised some airfare for some people to come (Topps folk pay their own way I think we've bought plane tickets for them already).
In the least I'm down for drinking beer, playing golf and talking GPK (I realize not many of you play golf).

But, if putt putt counts, then I'll play 9 holes with you.

Fugg yeah. I'll definitely make the attempt to attend. I'll put off my planned trip to New Orleans even. GPK dedication points... shooooooooooooot. I say the FL non-ticket purchasers can front the hotel rooms, share the expenses... Just a suggestion if you want my sorry ass down there. Heh. Cory, futuristically, let me know when you purchase your Mega-ticket, et cetera via text/phone call. So I can jump on board. You know I get lackadaisical about getting online at times. Don't hate. I might disappear to the Wizarding World or Harry Potter one day... ;D

I'll be driving down. Thinking of bringing like a 3500ct box full of stickers so we can all just slap them puppies all over the town. We'll find out where any topps employee is staying and just lace his/her hotel room door/car/booth/back with 500 stickers, maybe that'll give them a sign were all still pimped about GPK's. Told the wife last night about the conv, she said to fly in, have a cool weekend, then take the fam to disney for a week. What's up with Women? you want $1 and they want $10 in return. Arggh! Man I appreciate a years Heads up TCT. I think I'm going to need it.

This we be really cool if we can get a lot of the artists to show up. I would love to add them to my sketch book.
On a side note, I wish more GPK artist would attend comic shows. I think the could make some good $$ in the artist alleys

Me and you are going to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure for sure, since I fugged it up last time. I got you covered on that, which will save you the hotel room costs.

Well at least I still ski but... Skateboarding- I sucked (Was a beast of a paintball player) Mosh Pits- Spent more than enough time at the old 9:30 and too much money at the new one. Sand Lot Sports- Always up for some football X-game sports- They look like they would hurt Nope now it's golf and skiing and if any good drum and bass DJ's ever came around these parts them too. I'm just getting old. 80 degree temps in March...if I go the clubs are coming.

I will do my best to be sitting next to AJ on the flight to Florida. We were planning a trip to Disney World for Spring Break next year, so I just need to see how the dates line up when the school calendar is released. Save me a seat at the bar.

Yeah, unfortunately outside of movie he would have gotten the clap, right before the pimp killed him, and his parents would have been robbed blind. Great movie though.
