There will be no "action". It's ephemeral. Each night, we'll set aside some time for directed meditation( can't you just see Bob sitting on the floor chanting?). This will suffice. All will prosper.

Just wanted to clarify that the Sofitel is not in Hollywood, but rather in the Beverly Center area, which is near WEST Hollywood. As filmwill accurately stated, Hollywood's about 20 minutes away.

No, I can't see Bob sitting on the floor or on anything but a huge chair or throne......imagination needed, lol

Last time I was in W. Hollywood I got in trouble in a place at the top of La Cienaga........

Thanks crosscheck, now I know the area, thanks.

Andy, does that mean we have to check in "daily" or just chant "un yaleman" and hope that the Needhamite will follow blindly(maybe I should hold a Marriott pastry in my hand as bait), lol

Aloha!

HT-I love the bait idea. Of course we'll be meditating daily. It's the only way to properly get in tune with the flow of the universe, i.e., synchronize with the revolution of the Earth.

Hollywood, Schmollywood. The good news is that Bob has pre-paid and if we don't like the hotel, we can stick him with the bill for our room. It's a new take on "Star" wood points.

HT,

I think if you stay central (West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, even Hollywood...) you'll be fine. Places like Santa Monica might be a bit out of the way location-wise.

Maybe some of the regulars can confab about where they're staying, so at least the core group are all staying fairly close together?

Our actual GTG might be in an area you wouldn't want to get a hotel in :) But we're going for food--not charm.

i get it now....we are going to have the GTG on one of the big movie lots and the GTG will be a special made for TV movie....btw, its star is not gpanda.....

Looks like we will be able to attend. Filmwill, Bob has my email address. Email if I can help with anything as I am in LA.

the numbers are growing, thats a good sign...

will, let me know if you want anyone's address that i might have...

i just reread all of this, it looks like we might need a football field to accomodate all the attendees?? hope so that would be fun...

I might be able to attend also in March.

We just bought our tickets yesterday, as the flights are now half the price they were previously.

Whoo-hoo! The more, the merrier!

I'll do a recount of all the yays and nays so far and sent out a separate email to those who have already emailed me.

Bob, can you email me Paulo's email?

Kathie, SO happy you guys are coming!

Thanks! We're really looking forward to it.

Bookmarking, This will be a few days before my first ever Asia trip, PERFECT!

Somehow I've totally missed seeing this thread. I'd love to attend and meet some of the faces behind the names! Am in L.A. and am happy to help in any way needed.

Great news, John. We look forward to meeting you too!

Send me your email to me at:

[email protected]

I'll add you to the list.

Initial details should be coming within the week.

...you beat me to the punch. Just noticed you already emailed. Thanks, John. I'll add you to the list.

As I start putting things in place for our GTG in March, I wanted to update this thread with the current list of confirmed attendees I have down (I have not included 'may comes'.)

Please email me if I missed you or let me know if for some reason your plans have changed.

I've noted who's bringing a guest (please email corrections if wrong) and who I'm missing email addresses for (please email me this as well).

Also, I've noted out-of-town guests as well. If I have this info wrong, again, please let me know.

Thanks guys...we're getting there. As I prefer to remain cryptic for now, I'll just say I think everyone is going to have a great time.
