Citizen Con 2016

[Doc Shaftoe]

As far as hotels go, it's Hollywood. So it'll be expensive.

 

[Devil Doge]

i live in LA so theres like a 90% chance im going
anyone know when it goes on sale

 

[Murderer]

I would like to attend. Once tickets go on sale and I have a definite, I'll look forward to seeing the rest of you

 

[Grimbli]

I believe I have talked my girlfriend into us going!!!

Doesn't hurt that she's from SoCal and wants to visit her friends.

So for Star Citizen Con I'm afraid I might not be able to make it (But who know) so beside that I'm hoping to give you lots of luck with a Testie Idea if this hasn't been brought up. Since we are a lovable beer loving group i thought it would be a nice idea to have to wear these Yellow Beer Hats with Test logo on it with Beers attached (They can be empty if even does not allow to bring beer) to show everyone the true spirit of our organization. I attached a link where you can get one for just under 10$ and I leave up to you guys if we can get stickers to attach the logo. What do you guys think?
:p

 

[EpilepticCricket]

Damn. If it wasn't on the west coast I might have been able to make it this year...

 

[Snakey]

EDIT: gonna make some type of cosplay. TEST themed stormtrooper armour or mado?

 

[PSIcoh]

Hmm... October? I might be able to make that if the stars align. I'll have to check back into this later in the year.

 

[chrizz]

If there's a a reasonable

Will be buying a ticket and then seeing if I'll actually be able to go closer to the date.

FYI: LAX (and it's hotels) are a ways away from the Citizen Con venue AND anything fun to do. Walking is not an option. Public transit in LA is utter shite. You'll be taking a cab/uber everywhere, frequently.

If you stay at a hotel in Hollywood, its much easier to walk to some of the fun places and the CitCon venue. And you can always just jump on the bus to go a bit farther down the road.

it depends on the price difference. if i can rent a car and still save some money lax hotel might be worth it. the hotels i saw that were closer were like 350 a night. edit. this one doesnt look too bad, not usually crazy about best westerns though http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/US/CA/Hollywood-hotels/BEST-WESTERN-PLUS-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel/Hotel-Overview.do?propertyCode=05204&cm_mmc=BL-_-Google-_-GMB-_-05204 and its 2 minutes away from the venue.

$175 a night? that's good beer money you're spending! This one looks like it's about $73/night currently, just over a mile away from the con, and I'm almost certain that you won't get stabbed there. There are also some hostels out there if people wanted to try and save some money that way.

"Almost certain" lol. it would be dope though if we could all book together and get a whole floor or a discount or something.

 

[Xian-Luc Picard]

@Han Burgundy and I are considering attending. Anyone from the Eastern Washington (or Western Washington/Portland) area planning on driving down?

Yeah I have been looking in to it and its pricey but to be honest for most of us a super cheap crappy motel will do fine as we wont be in our rooms for much time at all.

 

[maynard]

wow, I lived two blocks from Hollywood & Vine in the early eighties

there were some really cheap but scary/depraved hotels close by back then

I'm getting psyched for a nostalgic road trip
