I might be plus 1 if my best friend wants to come. I don't know if she's in town now as she's overseas, on vacation, again. Happy Travels!

Great group so far! I look forward to meeting a number of Fodorites I haven't met before and seeing those I've met at other gtgs.

RhkKmk= -1

rkkwan, can you email me your email address so I can add you to the mailing list once specifics start going out?

i think stu tower has indicated that he would come--local

also robbietravels??--local

Guenmai:

Hi Guen..please send our email address to filmwil...we look forward to being there this time.

Stu and Roz Tower

Wish I could join you guys in LA but it's just a little bit too far away for me....

moh...sri lanka is not that far away and you could promote SL to all the attendees....some have already visited so you would have some help...jump on over...

we're anxious to know which star's homes we will have the private tours of????

did you get clinton for the MC??

dang.... i was a definite no can do! but i saw bill + 1, now i gotta figure out a way to get there. :-)

Yes, ken, you gotta find a way! I guess I gotta <s>hire</s> <u>find</u> a date. For now, tho, I am:
mrwunrfl+0 *Local*
That is, if O.C. counts as local.

filmwill- have you sent out details yet?? I think I'm on your email list, but haven't heard from you...

Of course, you may not have sent anything out and I'm just imagining I've been BANNED!

Just getting around to actually looking at flights and hotels, and want to be sure I come in time to get good seats to all the best events. Which reminds me...Should we be packing flamenco boots this year? &gt;:-)

lcuy,

hahaha, yes you should brings those shoes as I remember at the last LA GTG you were the next one up to dance.....then rhkkmk....

Aloha!

we are 3 feet under snow here in toronto
how I wish I could come- this sounds so fun...

bad news... a number of stars have turned billy down....looks like he may have to start with some of the B stars or even the porno stars (he does already have the speedo porn star), so ladies have your bills ready..

there is a chance still that debbie reynolds will host us for breakfast....loretta young will host one nite for cocktails and in honor of our asian bent we have requested a famous HI resident attend...

it should be fun

Will Gpanda strut up and down Hollywood Blvd in his speedo?

yes and more places as well.. personally i think there will only be laughs and pointing, and mothers covering children's eyes

Hey Hanuman--Since you know Tommy W, cousin Clint, and kuranosuke, I think I'd like to meet you too! Are you coming to the GTG?

lcuy,

I would like to meet you guys too and LA is like my second home but.... March &amp; April are very busy months for us since my wife has started a new business and there are a lot of exhibition and trade fair to attend around that time.

Ken is in town right now and I'm still trying to find some free time to meet up with him for drinks.

I'm sure you guys will have a great time and I look forward to the report and pictures!

We shoot Pandas in speedos in L.A. So, strut at your own risk! Happy Travels!

Pook, sorry to hear that you won't be joining us (but given the distance, I certainly understand.) That's 2 for 2 GTGs that we've missed each other at.

Lucy, you betcha...you're on the list! I just had the venue for the GTG confirm availability this afternoon, so the mass email should be going on shortly.

So glad to know you'll be coming out here again--we so enjoyed meeting you 2 years ago in Pasadena!

I don't know if I can compete with flamenco dancing, but I certainly think this year's GTG will be a lot of fun...so glad so many regulars will be joining us in sunny SoCal.

Even if I wore a speedo, I would not strut I would merely perambulate. Also, would a sppedo wearing panda even be noticed in LA? I do guarantee that if I use the pool at least some small portion of LA will get to see the speedo.

Billy, when the details are available, you might start a new thread. We are not known for our patience.

Yes, a new thread would be nice. This has gotten very long. Happy Travels!

i vote for a new thread too...it may catch some more eyes...you could also put it on the europe board...some times that brings in local people...

maybe even askO will show up

Did everyone else read between the lines when the POB referenced &quot;local people&quot;. Clearly, he's expecting special treatment because he's an out of town guest. The ever humble Pandas do not need this. We ( I'm sure Beth would be appalled if she knew I was writing in the first person plural) do note that Cambridge is slightly farther from LA than Needham.

Yep, the rumor is confirmed. I'll be there with DH. I'm semi local in Pasadena.

great to hear, robbie. can you email me your email?

hanuman, ready, willing, and able. :-)

Looking forward to it. Add +1 to my rsvp.

Maybe someone could start a new thread with the details succinctly stated... I could probably place a &quot;sticky&quot; up in all of the Forums sometime next week that links to that new thread.

I could include a GTG wrap-up in next week's newsletter too. There are several in the works at the moment, though to my knowledge the LA one is by far the largest.

katie---and the best next to boston!!!

Katie, I actually already emailed you about this last week--if you don't mind, can you email me back as soon as you get a chance?

[email protected]

Thanks!

Is this an Asia forum GTG?

It is an unofficial Asia board GTG, indeed.

Email going out today--be on the lookout, gang.

wayne, the email you posted here is not working. please fwd me your correct email address. thanks!

(and, yes, guys, this will be the last for this thread.)
