IMW, I want you to know I had no part in excluding anyone from the aforementioned list. smile I'm excited to see all of you too!

Kara, I am arriving Wednesday morning and leaving Sunday. I can't take a whole week off of work but since it's a longish flight for me I wanted to make it more than a weekend. With the awesome hotel rate I found I was able to do it.

We are doing about the same thing- we are leaving on Thursday and won't get into LA till late, but we are staying until the following Tuesday and then driving to Las Vegas and staying a night in Vegas and flying out of there home. We are lucking out because Boy's brother lives in LA and we can stay there. Plus we are squeezing in a day at Disneyland too.

I would like to say that I am extreamly jealous of everyone who will be attending this wonderful event! I don't have enough money to beable to fly up there and afford accomodations. However, I hope that whoever goes has a great time! Be sure to take lots of photos – I would love to see them! And I'm sure everyone else who won't get a change to go would enjoy them as well!

I stayed in L.A. last year, during my senior year of high school when we stoped for a few days on the way home from a school trip. I fell in love with the place and I hope to one day be able to live there, or NYC (plan B).

I hope you all have an awesome time! smile

Sounds like so much fun! Unfortunately, I don't think I would be able to go, unless family was already traveling out there that weekend, which I highly doubt. Plus, having known you guys for such a short period of time, I doubt either parent would be willing to take me out there to meet with you. The only good thing is that I have friends who live in SoCal/San Diego, which would be my excuse to go out to LA anyways.

This does make me think of my B&S Gathering in NYC late July 2007: 20+ members of the board decided to meet up to see Beauty and the Beast during one of its final performances on Broadway. I had only met one member at the gathering prior, but we had a blast! Definitely a moment I will never forget.

Even though I haven't known you guys for very long, I can tell you have the exact same bonds I do with my B&S friends. Have fun, and be sure to give us pictures and stories so we can live vicariously through you!

Well crap. I just found out Rush is going back on tour this summer. In 07/08 tour I dropped serious cash on 12 shows so I'm a little bit of a hard core Rush fan (to say the least!). A front row seat is equal to a flight and hotel to LA so this is going to be a major balancing act. I actually skipped my high school graduation to see them in concert.

So if I dont go, I'll look forward to next year and/or an East Coast get together. Would be great to meet in NYC when they come out here to shoot (hell I'd be happy even watching second unit and pick up shots!)

At any rate, put me down as a maybe…….

See y'all in chat tonight!

Idea for something to do that weekend:

 

I just got my Hollywood Bowl "Summer Concert" calendar flyer in the mail today.  I noticed that they will be having their annual Bugs Bunny At the Symphony event on Saturday, July 17th, at 8:30pm.  The show concludes with fireworks.  It is a unique and fun L.A. experience for those of you from out-of-town that have not been to the Hollywood Bowl before.  Ticket prices for "bench seats" range from $25 to $50; they probably have group rates for 10+ people.  Here is the link for more info:

Please respond to this post so Admin and I can get an idea of how many people might be interested.  I can then get more info about ticketing so we can go as a group.  smile

Some time ago in chat I mentioned I was going to be in LA in July for personal reasons and would be catching up with some of my local  friends while I'm there.  Someone suggested that there were a number of people from this site in and around LA and I should get together with them too.  From that grew the idea to get together with some others from CastleTV.net for a kind of fan party.  We first posted about this some time ago but now it's time to really get things moving, we have less than 4 months to go!

Please note that this is NOT a convention as I don't have the massive budget (think $50k+) required to pay guests to attend, it's just a group of fans getting together to have fun around a common interest.

 

Attendance List

If you're on the list and have

changed circumstances or if you're thinking about coming and haven't

put your name down yet please do so we have an idea how many people

will be attending.  It's important to have reasonably accurate numbers

so I can start making some serious plans.

Admin – yes

maryc – yes

sarah_darling – yes

sheryllnkansas – yes

monbon – yes

m_hanh – yes

Castlefan – yes

Darrin – yes

Steffili – maybe

brniyz – maybe

Actress27 – maybe

itsmyworld – maybe

lacey08 – maybe

Pamfromcalif -maybe

addicted2castle – maybe

ltlsmurf – maybe

DJ – maybe

Sandy – maybe

Please copy & paste this list to your own post when you make an update. Thanks.

With my having to urgently replace my computer I'm a lot behind in saving for this trip so there's a chance I may not make it though I'll be doing everything I can to be there and even if I'm not I'll still make plans so everyone else can still enjoy the weekend.

 

Schedule

Friday 16th July - Casual Dinner – location to be determined but it will be somewhere convenient to accommodation.

Saturday 17th July – Castle Filming Location Tour – I'm thinking about keeping the actual locations secret until the day for an added dimension of fun *

Sunday 18th July -  TBD

* Notes on the location tour:

Locations will be kept secret for an added dimension of fun but we'll be visiting a number of locations around LA that have been used in the filming of Castle.

There will be some costs involved to cover gas for the drivers & any locations which require a fee to attend but we'll keep the costs as low as we possibly can and will try to let you know approx amt as soon as we've finalised the plans.

We'll be needing some volunteer drivers – preferably locals who are familar with the area, if you're interested in helping out please get in touch.  We'll be making sure everyone contributes to the cost of gas.

Useful Information

If you're looking to save money on flights, accommodation & care hire you should try sidestep.com to search for the best deals.  I've heard that in the US Wednesdays tend to throw up lower rates for everything so be sure to check on different days for the best deal.

Once we've determined the location for the dinner I'll post the general area so that those booking accommodation have the option of booking somewhere close by for convenience.
