If things are still holding out right, me and Josh_T over on RS will be there, but its not a done deal set in stone yet. Since its so close to home, 517 miles away, I'd hate to miss out on it. Its so far off right now, I'm not sure yet. And its too bad the Euro guys wont be there, I'd love to meet you guys for a beer or 3 and talk shop, but Jay, we'd give you Coke so you don't spew everywhere.

LOL I would only accept a coke if it had a whiskey in it!

On that note Jay, if you can in fact make, I'll be sure and buy you a whiskey! I might even put some coke in it for you too.

As the event gets closer, we should start forming a list of where everyone is staying, what times everyone is coming in and when we can all meet up for some drinks!

That is a great idea Chris. We could set up an official TIG meet up. I think I'm more excited about this celebration, in the fact that I now know some people to just hang out with.

I agree Shawn! Aimee and I are stoked for this like you wouldn't believe. And it's mostly because we will be able to meet up with people this time around. Not that C3 wasn't fun, but it's going to be more fun now that we know some people.

And yes, let's set up an official TIG meet and greet.

I'm staying at the Rosen Centre on International Drive. It looks like they have a couple of restaurants and bars. We could meet at one of them if all else fails.

I'll keep looking for other options too.

As soon as I know its a go on my end, I'll let everyone know. To me, thats what makes a Con fun, meeting and hanging out. This would be my first one, so it would be a blast. It wouldn't matter where we meet up as long as they serve Tequila Sunrises, I'm in like Flynn.

I'm currently investigating this to see if it is at all possible (on my own without the wife & kids). Flights don't look too bad, but that's as far as i've got so far. I think i read that tickets for the event aren't supposed to sell out (yet)....

I hope you can make it Tim. I think the tickets will be available for a while. I'm not sure how this convention center compares to the one in California, but I don't think that one sold out completely of tickets.

Just got an email from a travel agent mate who thinks he may have an el cheapo flight for me. Hopefully it'll get there.
Accommodation next....if i come, i'll be on my own, so this could be pricey methinks. I'll try & investigate.

How did you get your mrs to be cool with you jetting to America without her?

Oh yeah....that too, knew there was something else to sort out!

Was so MAD to hear that Chicago didn't get CV. First the olympics... now this!!! =(

Let's give this a little bump.

Shawn and I were talking about it earlier today. We'd kind of like to get a TIG meet and greet together (or at least dinner/drinks). I know it's a tad early, but I thought we could get some plans out there now and start getting a head count going.

I know the Rosen Centre (where Aimee and I are staying) has a few restaurants in it, along with a coffee bar and bar bar.

August can't come soon enough! I hope we can get a group of TIGers together. Jay and Tim, how are things looking for you guys?

I wish they would get some announcements going on about the programming that will be going on.

Ill expect lots of prezzies

I wish they would start announcing stuff too. I'd really like to know how much I need to "budget" for.

So it was just announced: Celebration 5 website

Who's going? I know my wife and I are going, and we'll probably be heading down for the whole week. We would love to meet up with as many of our online buddies as possible.

Sure guys rub it in our faces even more!!!! For those of us who can't go!!!

This hasn't been bumped in awhile. And with so many new users, I thought I'd see if anyone else is going.

I'd really like to get a TIG dinner/social together for everyone that's going. So if you can't make it Shawn and I will just have to drink your beer for you!

I know I mentioned this before.....

Depending on what actors/actresses are at CV.... I would love if someone could help me out in getting an autograph or two!!!!!

I'd be more than happy to pick up any actor/actresses that you need mate!

@Merlin: That's great that you are going as well! When are you arriving in Orlando? Where are you staying? We'll definitely have to all hook up down there!

So far we've got Shawn, Ganja, Merlin and myself going to C5 from TIG!

Anyone else?

The Rosen has a TON of restaurants and bars in the hotel. They even have a coffee bar.

Let's get a list together of where everyone is staying and when they are arriving, then we can plan the get together! Also, my wife and I have a rental car, so if anyone needs a ride to and from the airport, etc. just let me know.

We are staying at the Rosen and arriving on Wednesday around 4:00pm.

Sounds like a great idea Chris, so we know where everyone is at.

I'm staying at the Days Inn.

My flight gets in bright and early at 12:45 A.M. on Thursday.

I haven't worked out the details quite yet. I got my room and my buddy who's going with me has the tix, but the travel plans aren't set. I'm going to Hawaii in May, so I can't really focus on C5 yet. I know, poor me.
