I really am upset that I have no way to get to this event. I live pretty close, but have no car. I also have to miss the Santa Monica pre-screening on the 16th. It's heart-wrentching because these are once in a lifetime kind of events.

No!!! That's my birthday and I'm stuck over in England.

While you guys are out meeting and greeting I'll be thanking people for socks and slippers.

Very very jealous!!!

So... tempting...

My husband and I just finished school last week, his job doesn't start until the 26th, and we just came into a little money.

I could totally go.

I think I had better forget I ever saw this. We're supposed to be saving for a house.

I'm not sure where you are but I am planning on going to both the screening tomorrow and to Universal on the 24th. If you are already confirmed for the screening, I have room in my car. Let me know if I can help with either.

By the way, does anyone know if we can just show up on the 24th or if we have to purchase tickets in advance?

Something of a dilemma I have here. I'm going to be at UCLA Band Camp that week, and Saturday practice ends at 1.

I don't know the public transportation system in LA, and I doubt any Browncoat is going to want to pick me up at UCLA a mere hour before the event starts.

If anyone has any advice, it would be much appriciated!

Well Browncoats, I have a little more info from a nice lady at Universal. You buy a ticket to the park (don't forget the $15 off coupon) and the Fan Fest thing is "free" but I guess there is limited seating or whatever because it's first come first serve. You can all start lining up behind my friend and I, we're flying from Florida for this so we will make it in. Small hitch, the behind the scenes thing is an hour and the autograph thing is only an hour. I have a feeling the two events are in different places (this is just a feeling) so if you are in the behind the scenes thing, people will already be lining up for the autographs, so it may be one or the other but not both. I hope I'm wrong.

I aim to misbehave!

From the con reports I've read, I fear you are not wrong.
