James is going to be busy in February!

[blackwhiterose]

Thanks for telling. Maybe I can make it in February. I`ve never been to the USA but this could be my first trip.

[PokerKitten]

I`ve never been to the USA but this could be my first trip.

Oh, that would be good Go for it!

[blackwhiterose]

I hope so. We will see. I don`t know it excactly if I can really go there or not. But I hope I know it soon, `cause I need a visa for that trip.
Maybe the US-Cons are cool too. Is there also a photosession? Would be fantasic.

[wrigglerosie]

last time there was a photo session with James - one was included in the price and you could pay for up to 3 others. And there was autographs, one included again.

Going to the US is fun and easy. And last time, loads of us stayed in the same hotel at Newark airport which is about as close as you can get for SOPAC. There was general sharing of taxis to the venue and it was all good fun. |Do it - you wont regret it!

(do you need a visa from germany - we just do the visa waiver thing online for free - as long as you fill it in up to 72 hours before you travel its fine. (you still have to do a green form on the plane for immigration as well) - website for ESTA is HERE)

[blackwhiterose]

Thanks Rosie. But I`m in the UK in that time. You know I`ll stay in the UK till End of February 2010. But I`m still German. So should I still fill out the German Visa Version forumlar?
And how long is the flight to New Jersy? And do you plan to fly to this Convention? Is that expensive I mean the flight to New Jersy?
I fortunatly have a credit card now :-) ;D and a passport too. ;D
Okay that what you told me from your US Con experiences sounds pretty good.
One last question: Are the hotels expensive in the USA?

[wrigglerosie]

blackandwhiterose - I have pm'd you with information!

My lovely friend and roomie Magie Tagie, who is the worlds greatest organiser has asked that this email be passed onto to everyone about Valentines - shes got a block of rooms at a special rate for the event at the Hilton!

"For anyone thinking of going to the Valentine’s Event at SOPAC, here is some info. Unfortunately there is no where to stay close to SOPAC itself, so one of the better places to stay is close to Newark Airport. Its where many of us stayed last year.

Last year many of us stayed at the Holiday Inn Newark Airport, which was ok and cheap but many of us didn’t like the bad customer service we got and the hotel itself was not the nicest. However the current rate (as per their website) for February 12-15 is $65.67 per night.

However I was able to get a block of rooms at a similar rate at a little nicer hotel:

Hilton Newark Airport
1170 Spring Street, Elizabeth, New Jersey,
United States 07201-2114
Tel: [phone]

The rate is $65.00 per night; this does not included any taxes or fees which are about 17% (standard with all hotels) or parking.

Also anyone who decides not to go or doesn’t get a ticket can cancel the reservation unto February 11, 2010.

So if you are interested please call 1-800-HILTONS and give them the code “JME” (which is James Marsters Event). And you will get the $65.00 rate.

This rate has been set up for February 12 to 15, 2010 but it can be extended to a few more nights before or after as well.

They currently only have rooms with 2 double beds set aside for us, but if some one needs something different please ask me or if anyone has any questions and wants to contact me please do so at [e-mail]

Also PLEASE pass this along so that everyone who is interested can see it."

I'm thinking of making the trip to NJ again... although I hate that it's on a Sunday as it makes it very hard to NOT miss a few days of classes. Not sure if I can handle the 15 hour drive again...

Thanks for that info, Rosie! That sounds like an awesome set up... definitely would be better than the Holiday Inn which is also where I stayed. I'd definitely love to go back again because I got to meet basically one person last time. I failed at that socializing game.

[Ditto]

Meet up with Rosie, she knows everybody. You'll have a grand ol' time of it. Wish I was going...

[Rainbow]

hallowhedon - use the ticket - sleep on our floor - meet the alien....

[Ditto]

I'm not up to it now sweets, but thank you for asking. It's much appreciated. I've filled up now!

[Teebee]

Just in via e-mail ;D ;D ;D

JAMES MARSTERS - "BE MY VALENTINE"

Don't miss out on one of the most exciting opportunities of the New Year.

James will spend Valentine's Day with a small group of very lucky fans personalizing autographs, taking professional photographs, answering questions and chatting intimately, and performing a very special theatrical production.

Later in the evening you will also see him in concert sitting in the best, up-close seats. Rarely is there this type of opportunity to spend relaxed quality time with James in a beautiful professional arts complex.

It's the perfect holiday gift for either yourself or for that someone special. For all details go to the link on www.jamesmarsters.com

oh I wish we could go

BE MY VALENTINE: SATURDAY DATE WITH JAMES

For all those attending the South Orange BE MY VALENTINE event we are offering an opportunity to 10 lucky fans to join James at a private movie screening of Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo and Juliet” followed up by lunch and a round table discussion of the film. This is a paid event and here is how it will work:

1. Starting now through midnight EST Wednesday, February 10, 2010 you may place as many bids as you like to secure your position in the comment section of this note, below. (Bids entered anywhere other than the comment section of this note will not be accepted)

2. The initial bidding starts at $100 and must increase by $10 (in other words, no matching bids, if the current bid is $120 then the next bid must be $130 or higher)

3. When the clock strikes midnight EST on February 10, 2010 the bidding is closed. The top 10 bidders will be notified and verified. All 10 will then be responsible for paying the lowest amount of the top 10 bids (for example if the highest bid is $350 and the lowest of the 10 is $200, then everyone pays $200)

4. The top 10 will be contacted individually with the specific details for Saturday. The event will take place in South Orange and will begin at 11 AM.

Please, no comments below other than bids.

GOOD LUCK!

Is it coz I am still coming round from a lie-in or do you need a PhD to work out this logic? ;D

[wrigglerosie]

They've changed it a bit now...

James Marsters - The Official Page SATURDAY DATE WITH JAMES - MODIFICATION The starting time for the event will be pushed to 6 PM to accommodate those arriving later on Saturday and will now include a light dinner at the round table discussion.

The bidding has already gone up to $610!!

[DeeDee]

yikes!!!! hope the tenth one is only $150 ;D

[wrigglerosie]

And its been changed again - got to go up in $10 increments, no big leaps so its standing at $270

SATURDAY DATE WITH JAMES - UPDATE. As exciting as the BIG bids are to see, the rules are $10 increments at a time. We have adjusted the bids accordingly.

And still 2 weeks to go...!!
