The recent thread about an Austrailian 'fest made me realize - if we're going to plan some kind of get-together for 2007, we should start talking about it now.
I still say the best place for this is Albuquerque, and would also hope to have help from Romeo in trying to get SRD to make an appearance. In other words, I'd like a repeat of Elohimfest 2004.
Let the discussions begin......
(edit - update to add poll options for either San Francisco or Albuquerque.)

That'd be cool - especially since it's the 30th aniversary of LFB. We could have our own little birthday celebration for it - bring presents, wear hats, have cake, etc. And if we don't tell LFB, we could turn it into a surprise party! Can someone volunteer to take it to a movie or something beforehand so we can get set up? 
I don't know what Steve's schedule is, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind making a dinner-and-interview appearance.
Are any months / dates better than others for you, Danlo?

And then the ravens pecked out his eyes.

If May/June are the best choices, youngest daughter graduates high school at the end of May 2007, so June would work better for me.
Actually, both the girls will be in college in the fall of 2007, so any time after the end of August would work for me, too. Dunno about others, though -- with school being in session in October, it could make it tough for folks to come.
I am SO coming to Elohimfest 2007, whenever it is!

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

That would be great except we don't know the exact date of release, and if you'll recall there were a couple of delays before ROTE was released.Wayfriend wrote:Could we time it to coincide with the release of Fatal Revenant somehow? It'd be cool if the Fest is where we get our copies of FR...
That would make it Octoberish.
(Thinking about my FF miles...)
I should be good with just about any time, just need a few weeks advance notice.

If we do this here, and we do it in June we better start planning BIG time. I think my film crew can do a better job this year, we can find a better venue, without so much traffic in the background. Perhaps we can even get Robert Vardeman or G. R. R. Martin as master of ceremonies for the 30th anniversary of LFB. I need to start working with the Bubonicon people on this as well--the T-Shirts will be real cool! I need your help again aTOMiC!
Tell you what Romeo, you work on SRD and I'll try to get a message to Martin, somehow. If we have over 20 confirmed I'll talk to David Stienberg the literary editor of the Albq. Journal about doing a big celebration piece.

Hmm. June. Both girls will be out of school...we could drive!...*or* I could leave the girls at home since they'll both be over 18 by then, and fly in by myself...but if I don't have the kids as a cover, I'll need a place to stay -- not sure how the ex-mother-in-law would feel about putting up just me...hey Danlo, if I bring my tent, can I camp in your yard?

I've got a 3-person tent (which sleeps 2, in other words) and a 4-person tent (which, IOW, sleeps 3). I could bring one or both. We actually had 3 in the 3-person tent last summer and it was extreeeeemely cozy....

You don't need Martin as a Master of Ceremonies.
You need a LOREMASTER OF CEREMONIES!
