I’m flying into John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana on Thursday Sept. 16th and returning home on Wednesday Sept. 22nd. I’ll be staying with friends in the Anaheim area.
I have time for a meetup over the weekend if anyone wants, my schedule is wide open right now. Post suggestions on where to meet and when!!
What are you in the mood for? Beach? Disney? Dinner and dancing? Finding an Irish pub? 
In any event, I’ve got the first round.
Well I say Disney is out since Star Tours is down for upgrade. If I can’t go on that 5 times per visit…it’s not worth the cost to get in!
Is the Los Angeles Zoo worth checking out? Or I’m good with just finding a pub to hang out, chow down and visit with everyone for awhile.
Well I would say I was in, but I’m going crazy to find time just to go to disneyland next weekend as it is.
Awww, Star Tours is closed? Curse my metal body, I wasn’t fast enough! 
But seriously, I’d be up for driving down to see you guys! Just let me know where and when.
Yeah Star Tours is down until sometime next year. 
We could try for Universal Studios…it has these attractions:
Studio Tour
Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride
Jurassic Park - The Ride
Terminator 2:3D
House of Horrors
Universal’s Animal Actors
The NBC Universal Experience
The Simpsons Ride
Shrek 4-D
The Adventures of Curious George
WaterWorld
Special Effects Stages
The Blues Brothers
I’ve been there a couple of times before…once before the fire destroyed King Kong on the Studio Tour and once after…now he’s back and in 360 3D (by Peter Jackson no less).
Lady D…Topgun…have you guys been there recently?
I don’t know about other Californians, but I like this idea! How about Saturday the 18th? For those who don’t want to spend the entire day in the park, we can also meet for dinner and/or drinks in one of the restaurants in the Citywalk area that doesn’t require park admission.
Thots? Barb’s visit is only about a week away so speak up!
Saturday the 18th would be the best day for me too. My friends will be busy catching up on the home front after working all week.
It’s a date! Haven’t been to Universal or that area yet, so sounds great. Let me know what time/exactly where you all want to meet up. As usual Twitter will probably come in handy for initially finding each other.
I’ll talk to the hub, but that’s a good friend’s birthday.
Man, I don’t wanna miss any GWC Meetup ossimness!
Awwww…hope you guys can make it but I understand that good friend’s birthdays are important too!
There’s a huge globe thingie at the end of the City Walk before you get to the ticket booths/entry…that would be the best place to meet. I don’t have an smart phone so I won’t be able to see your tweets.
Ok, you guys from So. Cal. need to go online with the link below. As residents of So. Cal. you can get a 6 month pass for $60 each.
Me and Emily will have to pay the full $74, or if Emily thinks she will drive down again she can get an Annual pass for the $74 online. Parking is $15.00.
Should we Skype this weekend and set a time? Sunday afternoon I won’t be home but tomorrow or Sunday evening will work for me.
For So. Cal. residents: http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/tickets_local.html
For the rest of us: http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/tickets.html
Ok the plan is Universal Studios, Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Woot! Anyone else in the So Cal area interested? The more the merrier!
I had a blast at Universal with Lady D and Topgun yesterday! Most of the attractions are based off Sci-Fi movies so it’s like a Disney for adults…or geeks like me.
Bkitty, The Hub, and Puddy drove up to Huntington Beach and we met them at Huntington Beach Beer Company for great chow and conversation!
Good times.
Lunch today with Bkitty! So much fun! And guess what (who!) was on the menu:
Bwahahahaha!
Oh My! /Takei
It’s a wonder some smart geek-girl hasn’t snapped our boy up, yet!
Indeed, sir! (and excellent usage of the Takei!)
Pictures will have to wait until I get home. Netbook can’t handle Paintshop Pro X very well.
I wishlisted a camera like yours at Amazon.
WANT!!
Donations towards the camera can be sent to…
My forehead now matches my personality…flaky! Bwhahahaha. This will look great for my interviews on Thursday and Friday.
