Vonny if you get on again, do you want me to start sending the stuff while you are away, or leave it until you get home, will someone take it indoors for you if the postman delivers? If I don't hear from you I will keep it until you return, better safe than sorry, it is not stuff you want going missing. marion, there is someone in the house, though not at weekends, so do what is easier for you , got 3 packets of those m and m's you wanted so far (last 3 in the shop ;D)

Managed to find an internet cafe on hollywood boulevard (where I am the noo, oot on a shopping spree ;D), anyhoo my thoughts on fanfest,
1. I AM GOING next year if i can get off work ;D
It was absolutely brilliant, not just the set visit, but the whole 4/5 days, but the set visit definately was something else, and the hospitality shown to us by chas,avery and everyone else that day was out of this world, if you are reading this guys and gals thank you very very much, and then to have chas and liza attending that same night speaks volumes for the people involved with our show, and then what really ended a great great day was actually winning something (ive never won a thing in my life).
and then there was the costume party, that was a hoot, all those ducky's, abby's et all absolutely brilliant.
then to actually put faces to names was good too, now i actually know some of the folks i stay up to 3/4 am in the morn to talk to ;D
A couple of very special personal thanks to a couple of folks, Darla and liz who chauffered us around a few times, and mchnelson for lugging some of my stuff home for me ( im still in LA, here for another 2 weeks yet).
ps, nearly forgot ;D
bus, will upload that bathrobe piccy of you when i get home, havent got my camera usb cable out and about with me today.

Bravenet has small guest maps where you can place a small pin saying where you come from, only thing is the code needs to uploaded to here I think.
Anyway I'm coming over from Falkirk, Scotland, United Kingdom.
What about everyone else, I see on the first page of this thread there are only about a dozen of us I think, are there any more? If so get your name to Nici and she will add you to the list.
Anyway I can foresee a good 5 days and very much looking forward to it all and meeting everyone.

I guess they have. It's not that long before the season starts, only one more week. So they probably finished the first two eps by then completely. Would be really cool if they showed us the ep there. It's always a difference whether to watch it home alone or with a bunch of equally brain damaged Cheers, Mel PS: Just noticed that I'm back home for the season premier. yeh it would be good to see the ep there with the seriously deranged ;D or manic obsessives such as ourselves ;D but failing that poor wee me will be watching it all alone in a wee hotel room overlooking the bay in san diego ;D , or Ive the choice of looking out over the balcony towards NASNI and as gibbs said in one ep " The Hollywood Marines" ;D roll on sept 9th for some sun,sea and s...seriously good fun in van nuys ;D

had a quick look at them, some good prizes there, and all money going to a good cause, just a pity we dont really have something like this to get money and stuff for the british forces.

Well, that's true. That would be a lot of fun. If that doesn't happen, maybe someone'll bring their DVDs and we can all hang out together watching old favorites. Hey, for those of you who don't use your real names on here, what did you do for your name badge? Did you put your real first name, or the name you're known as on the board? Think i just put down Von if i remember correctly (it is just a shortened version of my real name Yvonne) ;D I get called Von/Vonny at work/home so doesnt bother me (i canny stand the name yvonne ;D) Re DVD maybe season 4 will be out by then and we will have those to watch (she says crossing her wee fingies and toes prayin that tthey do come oot in sept ;D)

I think part of the problem with that is the fact that the facilities aren't purpose-built, like the facilities in Hollywood. It's just a plain old light-industrial complex. And I've driven through that truck-inspection facility a zillionteen times. I don't know about seeing the trailer from the rides, but you can sure find it on Google Earth. And would you believe that I've lived here nearly my entire life and have never been to Magic Mountain? Disneyland, yeah, and Knott's, of course, but never Magic Mountain. Darla We still gotta plan something for that Thursday, right? No rides for me, I get motion sickness. But I would love to find something to do. Tweeter, what kind of things do you like to do? I will have a car so if there is somewhere you would like to go let me know, not that you will get there in a hurry ;D as knowing me I will end up getting lost, I'll be there from the Wednesday and leave the following Monday, or if you there before wednesay i ll be in santa monica from the sunday.

Darla magic mountain wasn't on my original list of things to do, it was someone from work who was in cali for a family holiday/wedding told me about it. And i was the same with stirling castle ( you know braveheart and all that guff ;D ) only live 15 minutes away and only visited the place last year, same with edinburgh castle.

What's the temperature liable to be at that time of year, will they be the same down the coast and inland eg im going to magic mountain in valencia and down as far as san diego and san ysidro(and maybe tijuana though haven'y decided about that yet) all starting from the 9th sept to the 30th sept.
Oh and I've already got the sunscreen and half my bag packed ;D .

so, maybe I will come! I've ask my Grandpa. He would fly with me to California, he doesn't speak English, maybe he knows Yes on No ;D So I have to be very nice to my Mum!!! She is the one who has to say 'yes, you are allowed to fly' We will see... [glow=red,2,300]Because there are four days of school I would miss, and that without a Jetlag or something...[/glow] Maybe, maybe not--- well I'm missing 3 weeks of work, one week of which is unpaid, as for the jetlag tell me about it, the same day i arrive home (630pm uk time) I,m supposed to be working nightshift starting at 10pm uk time, so it's gonna be a looooonnnnnnngggggg long day and night ;D ;D Anyone else going apart from those on Nici's list of attendees
