OK. THe show is in Orlando, Florida and the time is February 13-16. Probally the best time for the GT is the 15th which is a Saturday night. That would give people Sunday to travel home before the work week. Sound good?
If the VIP tickets work out, we would mail the tickets to whoever wants them 2 months or so before the show. You would have to mail them to the show organizers a month before the show. At the show, they would have your ticket and you would pay $15 (instead of the normal 50). You have to be 18 or older. You can still bring the family on the trip, they could do other things while your at the show if you want (it is Orlando, so there is lots to do).
Unless someone has a better idea, I would like to go with DavidW's travel agent. We need to know when she needs a final head count for reservations. Location to the show isn't as important if there is a shuttle. Having places to eat, etc walking distance is nice so we don't need rental cars or taxies. It also needs to be family and wheelchair friendly. We will need a medium sized hall or meeting room for the 15th.
So the 13, 14, 15 and 16th you could find us at our show booth. On the 15th, we would all get together for the CPF gala (whatever you want to call it) at the hotel meeting room. If we have GT tickets, we could do pizza and what not. Otherwise, maybe just soda (it gets expensive to feed 50-80 people, so I am looking for ideas here).
To get a count, it might be easiest to have a website that people can register if they are going and how many in their party (guestbook function?). Or you could just all email DavidW's travel agent.
Suggestions?
