I have a suite for Sat night and was planning, with a friend, to throw a room party that evening. I'm considering keeping the room and throwing the party anyway, especially if a lot of other fans will be in the area anyway.
I have until 24 hrs before the Convention to cancel the hotel reservation.

Ignore my misguided thread ...
This is so amazingly disappointing on a lot of different levels. However, in a way it's encouraging to see Browncoats rallying together to try and find a way to rectify the situation.
I really hope they manage to pull it off, but if not, what's the best way to get our money back? Now that the site is down, I can't read all the fine print and it wasn't included in our emailed receipts!

I still plan on flying out there, and from looking at the Wedonesque thread I think there will still be some partying, maybe we'll even entice some cast into coming...
I'll pitch in on the room LeiaSky! Don't give it up!
And there's still a chance it'll go through. Slim, but I hope I hope I hope!

Yeah Leiasky, and Mal4Prez: I think a lot of us felt we would go to the Hilton and hang out with fellow browncoats even if the worst happens.
There are people flying in from around the world...
Maybe we could go to Disneyland, or at the very least have our own funky little tour of Buffy's High school in Torrance (her Craft style home is down the block from the school)
There is always fun to be had where there are Browncoats!

lexigeek on WHEDONesque:
I'm actually working to negotiate something with the hotel for meeting space. I was about to post the same info about the group rates. :) What I need is an idea of how many people would still be willing to show up (and stay in one of their hotel rooms) if we were to throw a replacement con. (There's no guarantee the guests will be there, but we're working on it)
Please e-mail me at adam.levermorerich[at]gmail[dot]com ASAP if you are planning to stay at the Hilton, and let me know how many nights you're going to stay. Please put FLAN/HILTON in the subject line so I can keep track of all the e-mails on this.
Please re-post this message in other forums so BE attendees with reservations at the Hilton know.
Also, the SoCal/NoCal Browncoats are working on having a fallback con/shindig/whatever.

I am still planning to fly in from St. Pete, Florida so long as there are at least some Browncoats going that I can hang with. I will also be bringing some pretties from Out To The Black Outfitters to sell, since Christmas is just around the corner and I was to be in the Flan dealer's room anyway.
I aim to misbehave!
