San Diego Comic Con
Hi all!
In case any of you were dragging your heels in deciding whether or not to attend the San Diego Comic Con this summer (And thereby joining in the annual GatchaCon gathering of Gatchaman fans), I figure I should point out that the 4-day memberships for the con have now sold out. 1-day memberships for all four days are still available, but it's safe to assume that sales on those will pick up now that the 4-days are gone. So if you're planning to attend, you'd better act now, since there will be no on-site memberships available for the convention.
Information (And registration) for the Comic Con can be found here:

I hope we'll see you there!
James

Thank you for the update James.
I purchased my 4 day membership a while ago, but as of this moment, I am not sure if I will be attending. I need to look into airfares etc. before I make my final decision.

I would love to go, if only for the mini Gatch con.
I wonder if there would be any interest in organising a mini con at Dragon con?
Posted by Transmute Jun on 14-03-2009 at 16:03:
Veritas, it would be awesome to have you at San Diego Comic Con! You could wear your Katse costume and I could wear my Swan costume and we'd be a hit!

I can't believe they are sold out of memberships already! Wow, that con really is big. Alas, I cannot go due to funds but perhaps it may be possible to attend the mini Gatch con in someone's hotel room?

I do hope that you'll be able to make it! Of course, with the economy the way it is, I can understand the difficulty. Regardless, we'll keep our fingers crossed that you'll be there!

Yes, it is. It took them a couple of months longer to sell out the full memberships last year, and the single day memberships were gone about a month before the con. I won't be surprised if the single day memberships are completely sold out within a couple of months.

Well Ive had alook at flights, and if it was my only trip this year it would be do-able, but its not.
I'll have a mini con on my own in Atlanta. I'm taking the Katse costume and the two I'm making at the moment, swan and a devil star. Extra geek points to any one who recognises the Devil star outfit.

Veritas, when would you get together for a mini gatch con? I'm only a few states from Georgia. Maybe we an convince others in this area to try and do it.

dragon con
labor day wekend.
The saturday is usually the busiest day. I'm going to do the parade, prob in the katse costume , so perhaps something on the saturday?
Posted by gatchgirl on 17-03-2009 at 19:26:
Looks like it could be a blast. I do love dragons and such, wonder if I could talk someone from here in going with, then it wouldn't be so bad to travel.

Hi all!
Taking another look at the Comic Con site today, I see that Saturday 1-day memberships are now also sold out. Friday is now 40% sold out, with Thursday and Sunday at around 20%. At this rate, they could be completely sold out by the end of April. So, if you're thinking of attending, you'll want to buy your memberships now!

Hmmm .... So how'z about our Canadian contingent arrange their own little mini Gatch con here in the T.Dot sometime in the summer?
We can have a birdie day out ... ?

Just guessing, but I think she means Toronto. Of course, I'm really out of the loop because back when I lived there we just called it 'T.O.'.

That is what I still call it as well. Just like I still call the stadium the Skydome not the Rogers Centre ... so I wondered what the T.Dot is and where it came from. I wondered if it was something Torontonians are now calling themselves.

Hi all!
Just a quick update to let you know that, as of today, Friday memberships have joined the 4-day and Saturday memberships on the Sold Out roster. There are still memberships available for Thursday (44% sold out) and Sunday (40% sold out), but expect those days to pick up steam.
So if you're planning to attend, you'd better act now, since there will be no on-site memberships available for the convention.

I hope we'll see you there!

Hi all!
Well, last night the Comic Con completely sold out of memberships. I do hope that those of you who were planning to attend managed to get one while they lasted! There will be at least a small group of fellow Gatchaman fans there, and I look forward to meeting up with any and all of you when the con starts in about eight weeks!
James
Posted by Transmute Jun on 30-05-2009 at 02:33:
I will be there as well, and would love to meet anyone who attends!
