Okay, so I wasn't planning on going to this, but recent news from the other board is that there is going to be an MST3K 20th Anniversary reunion panel. If the whole gang is gonna be there, I'm there. I do have summer school in July, but it's only Monday through Thursday, so I could conceivably fly out after classes on Thursday and be there for the panel on Friday!
Man, I love being a MSTie!

Man, I love being a California MSTie. ;D *dodges tomatoes* Of course I'm going. I might also try to go to the RiffTrax live show on Saturday, but that's uncertain at the moment. I'm so excited!

Well, I bought my plane ticket and my ticket to Comic-Con for Friday. I can't go for the whole thing because my mom is actually going to be in San Diego looking after my grandmother while my aunt goes on a cruise or something. Since my mom is splitting the flight price with me, I have to spend time with them too. So I'll definitely be at the con all day Friday. So we'll totally hang out Robyn! I'm also gonna see about the Rifftrax Live event too. Say Robyn, if you were going to go to the Rifftrax Live show, would you be more likely to go to the 7:00 PM show, or the 9:30 PM? Tickets go on sale today for anyone else that's interested: sandiegotheatres.org/eventstickets/eventdetails.cfm?eventID=2017

O___O THEY ARE having one?? OMG...I might have to not go to the CT show in MN and fly here instead! This is huge news...(dude, I live in CA too but I've never been to San Diego...I've always wanted to take my friend who went to Super-Con to this one XD!)

Say Robyn, if you were going to go to the Rifftrax Live show, would you be more likely to go to the 7:00 PM show, or the 9:30 PM? Probably 7PM...just because I don't want to be trying to find my way around in a strange city at 11PM (or whenever the 9:30 show would end). If you decide to go, I should just get two tickets so we'd be able to sit together (since it's reserved seating) and you can just pay me back whenever. Or you get two tickets and I pay YOU back. Whatever. O___O THEY ARE having one?? OMG...I might have to not go to the CT show in MN and fly here instead! This is huge news...(dude, I live in CA too but I've never been to San Diego...I've always wanted to take my friend who went to Super-Con to this one XD!) Well, San Diego is a lot closer to me than San Jose, so this'll be cake. My general plan is to just take Amtrak down there, and I'll stay at a friend's place. Anchan, it'd be so cool if you could make it - with you and me and Queenie, we'll be like Charlie's Angels! (Joel's Angels...?) XD

If you decide to go, I should just get two tickets so we'd be able to sit together (since it's reserved seating) and you can just pay me back whenever. Or you get two tickets and I pay YOU back. Whatever. Yeah I definitely want to go to the show. It will certainly justify my trip a bit more! And since I'm staying with family, my mom is likely going to be the one to drop me off and pick me up from the events. So if you need a ride home afterwards Robyn, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to hitch one with us if you need it. I wouldn't want you wandering around in a strange city at night if your friend can't pick you up! So I'm definitely in. I don't have a problem buying the tickets so we can sit together, so I can do that whenever and you can mail me the money or pay me at the show...whichever you prefer. Just let me know! And Anchan you should totally come! Just know that apparently Comic-con tickets go up in price the later you wait. I bought my Friday pass for $30 today, which isn't bad for a super awesome totally once in a lifetime reunion panel! ;D

XD Wow...yesterday I was thinking to myself "I so wanna say 'Morning Charlie!' to Joel, but that'd be all kinds of weird..." XD! So would buying a con ticket for Friday and then just going to the Rifftrax show on Saturday be the best bet? You don't have to have a 4-day pass to get into the movie, do you? T__T

My mom and I can't seem to find any open hotel rooms...it looks like everyone already reserved theirs. ;o; We must find one!
And it doesn't say anywhere what TIME the actual Friday panel is...unless I'm just not looking in the right place? Last minute planning...x__x

I wouldn't want you wandering around in a strange city at night if your friend can't pick you up! That's really nice of you, but I'm thinking I'll probably just take Amtrak back home after the show, since it's like a two-hour drive. XD But then, I'm not sure how late the train goes right now, so I might take the train to my friend's (they live in Encinitas, which is like a half-hour from the Convention Center) and stay the night, then head home the next day...I dunno...uh, as you can see, I'm still working out all the details. I'll get back to you. XP And that would be great about the tickets - I'll just pay you back at the show. So would buying a con ticket for Friday and then just going to the Rifftrax show on Saturday be the best bet? You don't have to have a 4-day pass to get into the movie, do you? T__T You do NOT have to get a 4-day pass - the live show is not part of the con, it's just the icing on the cake. So yes, I'd say just get a con ticket for Friday. My mom and I can't seem to find any open hotel rooms...it looks like everyone already reserved theirs. ;o; We must find one! And it doesn't say anywhere what TIME the actual Friday panel is...unless I'm just not looking in the right place? Last minute planning...x__x Torgospizza was saying on the RiffTrax forums that there are available hotels that are further away from the Convention Center, but there's plenty of public transportation around that you can use to get there. You should contact him and see if he can't help you out with that. As for the panel, it's at 7:15PM, right? That's what the original announcement said, but it there was some confusion because it originally said it was on Saturday, which is wrong. I think it's still the same time, but I should probably ask just in case...

Yeah I didn't think about how hard it might be to find a hotel nearby...I mean, Comic-Con is kind of a big deal, so there are going to be a ton of people there for four days.
As for the time, torgosPizza over at the Rifftrax board has said the panel is at 7:15 PM on Friday, July 25.

LOL! I'll buy you one grossly overpriced Coke at the con while we sit in line for the panel to start. Cause we're gonna want to be there early for that I'm sure! Front row or bust baby! ;D
I'm ready to buy tickets for the Rifftrax show whenever, but I obviously don't want to leave out Anchan if she is planning on going. I definitely want you to be able to sit with us too! I realize this is all going so fast...but man, I'm just so excited!!

I have officially bought the tickets for the Rifftrax Live show for everyone. Got one for myself (duh), Robyn, Anchan, and her mom for the 7:00 PM show on Saturday. We're actually in Row E, seats 114-117. Here's the seating chart: sandiegotheatres.org/downloads/SDBT_SeatingChart.pdfSo yeah, that's all taken care of. Here's the price breakdown: $25.00 per ticket $2.50 building facility charge per ticket (ugh) $3.75 Ticketmaster order processing charge divided by the four of us (double ugh) $6.25 convenience charge per ticket (triple ugh) $2.50 ticket downloading charge (fastest way to get them) divided between the four of us = $35.32 per personSo bring me the money at the show, or I'll have to bust your kneecaps! ;D Oh and feel free to double check my math, as it never was my strongest subject!

Wait, you got my mom one too? I don't think she wanted to go to the show...I'm sorry for any misunderstanding...T__T
edit: wait...I guess I could give that ticket to my friend from school if she's coming!

You said: I'm pretty sure we're going! My mom wants to come too for some reason, even though she's totally not interested in the con...I think she's just gonna hang around the hotel or go shopping or something. Yeah I took that as your mom wasn't going to go to the Con on Friday but was interested in going to the show...oops. Crummy things is, there isn't a way (as far as I can tell) to cancel a ticket without charging an extra six bucks for every ticket. So... We'll figure something out.

If Anchan's friend doesn't come, we can always just find someone on the other boards who's going but hasn't bought a ticket yet. Or you can try selling the extra ticket on Ebay or Craigslist or something.

Again, sorry about the miscommunication! But in other news...Hooray!!! We're going to Rifftrax Live!!! And we're gonna see the 20th reunion panel!!! *squee*

W00t...I just talked to torgosPizza on the Rifftrax forum and he hooked me up with a Motel 6 that has vacancy about an hour away from the convention center. He says the bus and trolley stop right there, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I'm still reading up on the San Diego public transit site now. ^o^ I think my mom opted out, so my friend and I are gonna fly down there by ourselves! This is gonna be so awesome...I can't wait!
