The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

While we're not leaving until early Wednesday, I'm at work all day tomorrow and then off until late at night fixing someone's computer setup (last minute reschedule)

So for the fear of not being able to post this before the majority of you leave......have a safe trip, god speed and take it easy.
It's better to be late than not at all, especially with the construction of the roads into Atlanta.

Cherie and I will see you guys in the Hyatt Bar Thursday evening for a brewsky!!

This will be our 4th...(or is it 5th??) D*Con and we love it.
Thanks to Dom and Kev in advance for organising the group stuff (meals and parade). I'll be up as early as possible on Friday to nab the fan table. I skipped last year so I need to make up ;)

So, have trip guys and gals....see you in Atlanta!!

Due to my sketchy internet access at present, I may not be able to post again before the con.

Can't wait to see you all. I've been talking nonstop about how excited I am.

8:30am-ish Friday morning will mark the long anticipated arrival of ME(!!!) at the fan table.

Safe trips, everyone. Don't get caught up in construction.

We'll be pushing off around oh-dark-thirty Wednesday morning and I suspect I will be rushing around packing and getting things together tomorrow and will have little time to surf around. So I will see you all in Hotlanta!

Every single year (while on the road) I curse myself as to how long a drive it is.

Every single year I promise myself I am going to fly down next time.


And every single year I end up driving. :roll: :cry:

Mostly because of the cost of a flight on top of everything else (a plane ticket would cost more than 3 times the cost of gas for me)- and I would die if any of my costumes were damaged or lost.

Not to mention the hassle I'd probably get from security/customs for my extremely military looking costumes and bazooka. :?

I really have to plan this much further in advance. But the procrastinator in me always wins. :wink: :lol:

Darn straight Tony! Although I haven't timed everything out yet, I'm hoping to dock up no later than 22:00 Thursday. Please ask Cherie to keep our maid on standby to turn my bed down please. :wink:

With the exception of last year, I too have always done the solo mission to delta charlie. It's not nearly so bad because the excitement and adrenaline keeps pumping faster every mile closer you get to your destination! Oh yeah, and the thoughts of naughty girl scouts in their uniforms. :wink:

Are you sure that's enough Harry? :roll: :wink:

I'm totally stoked to see all of you again this year -- and some of you for the very first time. We are gonna rock delta charlie off the freakin' hook!

Safe journey to everyone, especially those coming from abroad!
