I will probably only be able to make one day. Most likely Sunday.

[Athena007]

Luciana Paluzzi (Fiona Volpe, Thunderball) has now been added to the guest list as well!

Wow...This is going to be great for just the Bond celebs.

So, well me being ..er..me, I booked a suite for myself and Miss Bellucci for both nights. So, once I equip the door with a retinal scanner, we have a safe-house on scene.

As to which day for a CBn Crew meet-up, I'm open to both.

See everyone there.

Fantastic!

Let's hope she sticks around this time.

This is becoming a MAJOR Bond happening. Has there ever been this many Bond celebs gathered at one event?

[mccartney007]

I think there have been more Bond celebs at the Birmingham shows in England.

[TheSaint]

With Luciana signed on, I'm definitely going! Have to find out if my usual partner in crime will be able to attend.

At the last show, she went out to lunch at noon and never came back. From what I heard, she didn't come back on Sunday at all. I've was dissapointed I missed her. Glad to get a second chance (and you can bet I'm getting there before noon).

[TheSaint]

Thanks for pointing that out, Zen. I'll go to her first, bright & early, then get autos from the rest of the actors/actresses I'm interested in.

[Athena007]

TheSaint and anyone else who's going to be attending the show who's not part of the usual LA CBn Crew... we'd love to meet up with you all at the show.

Please shoot me a PM will your cell number so we can make sure to meet up for some drinks and snacks at the hotel bar. From the looks of it most of the LA CBn Crew will be attending on Sunday, but a number of us will be there on Saturday as well.

[TheSaint]

Turns out my partner in crime will probably not be coming along-any east coasters interested in sharing a hotel room with me for this shindig? Send me a pm ASAP.

[Athena007]

Main Page Story Update...

Just added:

• Priscilla Barnes (Della Churchill-Leiter, Licence To Kill)
• Serena Scott Thomas (Dr. Molly Warmflash, The World Is Not Enough)

That now makes a total of 14 Bond Guest!

[Bon-san]

What a show!

[TheSaint]

Well, I've booked the flight to Burbank. Guess no other east coast CBners who are going need a room so, I'll be booking a single. Is there anything of interest that is near the Burbank Hilton?

[zencat]

Looks like Lee Pfeiffer and Dave Worrall are also going to be there. Man, what a show!

[Athena007]

It looks like Rachel Grant (Die Another Day) is not longer attending.

[Athena007]

Ok, we need a meeting plan. How about... at 2pm each day (Sat & Sun) we meet in the Bar where the hotel restaurant is. (which is actually on the other side of the hotel, not a far walk at all though). Though I'm sure we'll run into eachother in the show like the last few times.

This gives everyone some alone time in the show if they want it... and after 2 we can go back to the show or just hang out. If you are going please post here which day's so we'll know to expect you in the Bar at 2pm.

[TheSaint]

I'll be there Friday(arriving at 9:30am!)and Saturday, leaving Sunday morning.

[Athena007]

But we'll have you on Saturday. Cool. We'll have to make a day/night of it. (I'll PM you)

[TheSaint]

Sounds good. Now I just have to find a way to fill up Friday until the "early bird" part of the con starts.

[Athena007]

If we're not doing anything on Friday I'll try and ring you up at the hotel.

[TheSaint]

Cool.

[Bryce (003)]

2pm at the bar...

"at the bar"....

I can remember that.

I'll be there for both days and checking in later thus securing a "safe house" on scene for both Saturday and Sunday night. I'm also around Friday night for any debauchery that may be planned.

This should be great and Flicka may make it as well.

Maybe we can convince Gloria to attend BCW8.

[Problem Eliminator]

I will be there Sunday. LA CBners, "I look forward to seeing you again."

[Athena007]

This is great news, Problem Eliminator!

[zencat]

Great! Looking forward to seeing you, PE.

[zencat]

Too tired to write too much, but Day 1 was fantastic! Not only are there a plethora of Bond celebs, but the a-list of Bond fandom seems to be here for this one as well. Will report more after Day 2. Time to sleep.

[TheSaint]

I'm glad I schlepped out to Cali for this con-not only did I get to meet the still lovely Luciana Paluzzi(someone test the water she drinks-probably provided by Ponce DeLeon)but, I also met CBners Zencat, Athena007, and Bryce(003).
When I get the film developed, I'll post some pics.

[Problem Eliminator]

Good times with many great Bond stars. TheSaint is right about Ms. Paluzzi, still stunning several decades after burning people up on the roads. Unfortunately I missed the CBners in attendance, assuming we were meeting at the hotel bar at 2pm. I waited for a bit, with a cheeseburger to keep me company, and then split when I didn't see anyone . Anyway, I'll give a more detailed report later, but in the mean time here's a pic. I was wondering what I had in store after wrestling that python in the hotel pool...

[Athena007]

TheSaint: It was great meeting you on Saturday. I'm glad you had the chance to come out here and mingle.

Problem Eliminator: Oh no! We got held up for a bit in the main hall! (Lana, parking validation, that guy dressed up as superman) I'm so sorry we kept you waiting! And I'm sorry we missed you for drinks and chat in the bar. I didn't have your number in my phone and was wondering about you. Dang, I feel so bad about missing you, especially after seeing you in the hall and saying... 2pm in the bar! Ah! I need to get your number in my cell phone! We seemed to have missed Solex Agitator as well.

[TheSaint]

Got the film developed today so, here are some shots I took at this shindig. I'm the guy in the black gunbarrel t-shirt.
