April 24, 10:00am - 11:00am, Booth 411
April 25, 10:00am - 11:00am, Booth 411

[Genrewriter]

Sounds cool, zencat. You thinking of another meetup possibly?

[Athena007]

ZenCat and I are deffinatly going. Thing is we're going out with Benson for dinner or lunch (I don't remember). But if it's dinner then we might be able to meet up for a BONDing for lunch if you like. We kinda just want to bum around, though if you're there (as is anyone else) we'll of course meet up for a chat at least.

You gonna come to the event to meet Benson?

[Genrewriter]

Possibly, I should have a definite answer by Friday or Saturday after I get my work schedule.

[Ry]

Well I'll be there around 11:00 and will be looking out for you guys!

[Bryce (003)]

"and the circles converge once more..."

Sounds good. I'd like to see Raymond again. Maybe we can find a piano bar for him Zencat.

Wouldn't mind getting my copy of TMWTRT signed.

Keep me in the loop.

John & Athena - If you have private plans with the man, that's cool. I'm sure he's willing to sign everything John has after the great story/interview. Get him to register here. No really.

Ry - We may have to run wild through Westwood.

"Bryce and Ry loose in 5 square blocks containing nothing but bars and densely populated by college girls?...You won't hear anything from them until morning."

[Ry]

Bryce, I have some scripts waiting for you as well. We'll have to meet up so I can deliver them to you personally.

[Athena007]

Private plans, Bryce. Though... you and the boys will have fun romping around looking for college girls.

But then again... oh Ry, the perfect time to set you up with my best friend she's really into books so a book fair would be perfect. If you'd like to be set up that is. I told her about you, she hates the idea of being set up but I think she's willing. PM me about it if you wish, I think you two would get along well even as friends.

Since we are all going to be there, we have to deffinatly meet up for a chat at least. I have everyone's cell numbers and I think you all have mine. We all have to get a group pic with Benson

[Bryce (003)]

A group picture would be great.

Ry - We'll exchange those scripts soon.

Brosnan now Benson...

Just goes to prove, that if you are connected to Bond, and you're in LA, CBn will be there!

No, really.

[ChandlerBing]

Sorry, can't make it, I'm going cross country with the Brosnans that day.

[Athena007]

ChandlerBing don't make me tackle you!


Ya... so let's just all meet over where Raymond Benson will be at 11 (since that's when he's supposed to be there. I was thinking we'd have to come up with some elaborate plan... but alas, not this time 11am = Benson. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to see a little "gathering" for him.

[zencat]

RB is going to be there from 10am TO 11am...so we should get there before 11.

[Xenobia]

Can I just say for the record I hate when this happens when I can't fly out!

*shakes head* One of these days...I will get out there for Bond event...I swear....

Nice Athena....

10am then. Got it.

[Athena007]

I thought you'd enjoy that one hee hee

[Xenobia]

Yeah, yeah, just what a girl needs to feel nice and secure. Thanks guys.

-- Xenobia

[Athena007]

Ok... we've all said we'll be there at 10AM... But I just wanted to make sure we're all on the right day... SATURDAY, right?

[Xenobia]

Maybe you better throw in the date, just in case they pick the wrong Saturday.

-- Xen

[Bryce (003)]

April 24th. Saturday. 10am. Booth 411.

Got it.

[Ry]

I'm ready for the big day!!!

[Athena007]

You'll all get to meet my best friend (& shy cloak girl, & book lover) Stephie too!
Athena was trixy

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Have fun, guys!!

[Genrewriter]

I'll know sometime this weekend whether I'm able to go, keeping my fingers crossed.

[Genrewriter]

I have Saturday off so I'll try to make it. It all depends on whether or not I can manage to drag my butt out of bed and be in L.A. before ten. Not the easiest thing for me on a Saturday morning.

[Athena007]

Woo Hoo! Come on Genrewriter... get your butt out of bed to meet Benson... it'll be worth it!

[Bryce (003)]

You should be there.

G/008/Genrewriter - We have much to discuss.

004 might be there as well.

[Athena007]

Ok so this is what I have so far...

• ZenCat and I will be will meet anyone & everyone at Benson's booth from 10-11.
• Bryce will be at Benson's booth at 10 (possibly with 004).
• Genrewriter will arrive somewhere between 10-11. He may need a ride back to Union Station after the day is done.
• Ry & my best friend Stephie will arrive at Benson's booth at 10:30.

We've got to get a group pic so we'll do that after everyone arrives If for some reason your plans change before Sat post here or PM me. If your plans change on Sat then ring me up on my cell.

WOO HOO!!! 2 more days!

[Bryce (003)]

As it has happened, I've got guests for the weekend - well, Friday night and into Saturday - but I've explained my plans. They will take no offense at my taking off for a few hours, but I at least need to get back to Casa Bryce before they split.

I'll certainly be there though and have a bit of time afterwards.

Ry- I'll have the copies with me per our discussion.

See you all there!

Damn CBn...We're EVERYWHERE.
