Ces Next Year!!!

I'm intrested... really can't say if i'll be there or not, but if i had a clue (ballpark) what its gonna cost to stay per night i'd have a much better idea as if i'd be able to come or not.

I live up in WA, so Easy E & I might be traveling together... if we both can make it next year.

 

I'll of course be interested.

 

i'm interested... not sure if i'll be able to go and all...

 

talked to Easy, and he said he's gonna be renting a house this year... and prolly next year too, so with any luck, i won't have any major emergencies this year and will have the money saved up, shouldn't be a problem as long as i have a place to stay, and plane tickets aren't too bad (thank god for SouthWest), guess i could drive if it came down to it... but dang.. thats a 16-22hr drive depending on how badly i speed, and traffic, and any stops i take.

 

If I have my house by next year you guys will be welcome to stay. My roomate isnt really into weird people coming over or I would say no problem now.

Plus next year I will be 21 so I will be able to go with you guys to the clubs and such.

 

Are the dates set for next year yet?

I know I'm going to be in the Bahamas for January 1-7/8, but I really NEED to go this. I'm off of school till the 14th of January, hopefully it'll be in between the two.

If we can all make arrangements relatively soon, we'll save alot if we make reservations soon. I just went to check prices, and they won't (hotwire and hotels.com) make reservations more than a year in advance.

I'll be flying from Buffalo. I know Chris E. (geolemon) lives here too(for now atleast)...Anyone else?

 

I probably won't be making my reservations for at least several months...

But we should keep this in mind, possibly in 3-6 months we should be looking for bargains, on either airfare (post any promotions you find!) or accomodations (ditto!), so that we can take advantage.

The only other catch is... to get tickets to CES, you need to be associated with industry.
Between myself, Seth and Michael, we probably have enough open positions for publicists, photo-journalists, and research agents (wink).

We could get organized to prepare for this...
Have a central repository somewhere (have some elected "keeper of data") with all our Email and phone numbers, and if something is found, we could all be contacted.
The catch would be, if a great deal were found, we'd need to know then who would be interested, and collect up money then... so everyone would have to be prepared to instantly PayPal (or whatever) the person acting as the travel agent the money, so they could make the reservations.

Sound like a plan?

 

Also Remember I have 4 Legal Business Names I can Send people under

American Audio
Xtreme Electronics
Osprey Business Services (CES is not use car audio so this one is vaild)
Osprey Development (this is not pubic yet, but will be by then )

Plus I can Go under the CarAduioTalk, and HomeAudioTalk Flags for Non-Profit Ventures B)


So I am more then Equiped to send people, all I ask is PICTURES and lots of them, if I can not go

All Depends on what goes donw at my Crew meeting next month

 

i WILL be going...but ive already arranged for a ticket for myself.

You do not need to really be associated with any company. Just make up a company name and preregister. They will mail you your badge without checking anything. Same thing for SEMA.

Or if you are picking up your badge(for SEMA at least) you can just make up some fake business cards. I know some people who have done this.

 

Don't forget that if you get enough people together, you can rent a house for a very affordable rate. Like $150-$180 per person, total. Nothing like 4 nights for $40 a piece, and you have a much more comfortable experience...

in order to get your Holder you must Check in with CES, and you must present proof of affilation with a company

they dont ship the holders, only badges, and you must get a holder to enter

so yes you do have to be affiated,


however this is much more lax than it use to be

 

I should know by mid-year if i'll be able to go or not....

 

As of right now I am most definitely interested. Unfortunately too many things can happen within that time for me to make a definite confirmation.

 

Oh, it's only a year.
Sneeze and you'll miss it. :lol:

Make it a new-year's resolution.

 

CES 2005 January 6-9, mark your calanders

 

I am going to go for no other purpose than to Aurge with you face to face over the purpose of "Drive by" Compitions B)

 

I'm definitely interested!!!! Although I'm not sure Seth is going to want me there after the CAP fight, LOL.
