Wicked? Did you say wicked?
As a native Bostonian, it tickles me mightily to hear that term being used out on the left coast!
Talk about wicked pissa!

So I'm pretty sure I looked ahead and just discovered that I have this weekend off of work.
And a free flight on delta.
This could be just the break I need . . .
if I were to show up, is there anyone with extra space in their room that would be willing to share space?

Wisconsin sucks. I don't want to be here.

Glad to hear that you might be able to go!
You might want to check out the room-sharing thread on the Booster board. I'm sure there are people who still need a roommate.

Congrats! Glad to see you'll be able to go!
Check the threads for roomies on the Booster Forums. You might find someone there who still needs a roomate.

So um, I'm going now. Wee. I'm in the midst of figuring out flight drama. There is only one Hilton in Burbank, right? And it's nearish the airport. Nearish enough that on an LAX airport shuttle website it would come up as "Hilton Burbank-Burbank Airport"?

yup - it's right by the airport - & The Daily Grille that's in it serves the finest omelet ever, namely the Cobb Omelet... well... I get it without blue cheese & wth extra avocado but I AM a Californiac.
Also, for any sci-fi nut I recommend the Fry's Electronics just across the street because it's a theme-store wherein it's embedded with all kinds of movie props so that it looks like you're inside some 1950's giant bug invasion sci-fi movie, complete with a drive-in theater cafeteria where the tables are old, 1950's cars - actual ones - with tables inside...
...guess ya hadda be there...
ENJOY!!

If at all possible, fly into Burbank and avoid LAX at all costs. Believe me, you'll have far less headaches.
Yes, there is only one Hilton in Burbank and it is right across the street from the airport.
LAX, not so close.

Well I wish I could come - but since none of the planks I've been tapping on and making wishes to don't appear to be 'magic wishing planks'... I won't be... and the really bad news?
I contacted the organisers about dates for next year because I'm thinking of saving up and coming to the US for a convention and this sounded like the bery best one... only this will be the last one! There are no plans to have another 'Flanvention' as such - though they assure me they'll continue to have Firefly/Serenity focus at their general conventions in the future!
So... sad now...
I guess I'll have to try for Dragon Con or one of those...

I suppose I can fly into Burbank and out of LAX. With Burbank, I think I still get there around 8ish and I avoid the problem of having to leave at 9:30 am.

Hey Sass!
My sister and I will there as well.
I'm working on figuring out flight stuff now too.
Looking forward to it. We've got Big Damn Passes and will hopefully be sharing a table with the Capt. at the banquet.
