I'm not landing at LAX until 7 pm, so my attendance will be based on the timing.

I'll be driving down from the Yosemite area & will have to drop the rental car off so i'm unable to plan a full out event but we can do some thing.....  maybe as simple as meeting up at the hotel bar

My sister and I will probably catch an afternoon showing of (don't judge) Allegiant.

Maybe we can attend the dinner meetup afterwards. I'll have to ask her.

I would also be interested in seeing BvS later that evening.  :)

It says it is a 2 minute walk from the hotel (JW Marriott - official hotel) so no car needed.  I think with Wonder Con we should get tickets when they go on sale.   Depending on the size of the group we can eat close by no problem.

I googled it and it seems that is the date " Regal Cinemas has announced Monday, Feb. 29 as the date advance ticket sales open for Warner Bros. anticipated superhero slugfest."

The theater I'm looking at is REGAL LA LIVE STADIUM 14 1000 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90015

If that one ticket is still available, I will use it (and pay you for it as well). If not, I'll wait for Monday. :)

 if my friend shows up it won't be available *at all*, i won't know until late afternoon that day tho
Title: Re: Meet Up Thursday night! WC 2016
Post by: Mario Wario on February 29, 2016, 12:42:36 PM
No problem at all! :) Just let me know if that ticket is still good when the day comes closer,  and if it is, let me know of the price. :)

First sorry for double posting here. Second, the reason why I am doing this is that thanks to NCDS helping me out :), I'm at work, she purchased that last seat for me in that row, in which I will pay her back today. So I am good now. I will see you all that night, hopefully LA traffic doesn't make me late. Lol

I was going to try and get [member=1]alyssa[/member] and [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] to go to the yard house before hand if we had time.  I know we are mad at them but I have a gift for them that I need to use.

If I have time, sounds okay. But first priority for me will be getting my badge.

Post by: NCDS on March 10, 2016, 01:21:12 PM
[member=286]BustAGroove[/member]  looks like the answer is if we can make it we are going to go to the yard house but it is an informal get-together.  We can always post in this thread when/if we are headed over to the restaurant and people are welcome to join.

Sorry it is not more set but between flying in/checking into the hotel/picking up badges it is hard to nail down a time frame.  If badge pick-up goes fast I suspect we will have time for dinner.

Post by: frgx on March 10, 2016, 02:15:22 PM
Our plan is to watch Allegiant (don't judge), then grab a quick dinner at Smashburger, then off to BvS.
Two flicks in one day might be one too many. If that's the case, then dinner somewhere, and then BvS. Probably will still have dinner at Smashburger though.  :-\
