I've purchased a membership to Corflu 34 in LA. I'm curious what kinds of pre-convention plans people have.

I think the cool kids will be hanging out with that Randy Byers fellow. Are you still thinking of a road trip? When I get to LA I would like to visit the Farmer's Market, and check out Bradbury's Booth at Clifton's Cafeteria.

No, the road trip is dead. When are you guys planning to get to LA?

We are going to have limited vacation time because of Worldcon and World Fantasy. However, Alaska has a fare sale ending tonight, and there are really cheap flights if we fly there on Thursday and return on Monday. So we should try to decide now.

I am a bit bummed to be reminded that Corflu is in Woodland Hills, not LA. Maybe we could rent a car or something.

[livejournal.com profile] voidampersand, Thursday-Monday is my ideal Corflu trip when I'm not able to add any pre-con/post-con touristing or extended stays with local fans.

Alas, reality demands I miss Corflu, which I will rather a lot. The last time I was in the L.A. area, I found car rental to be extraordinarily cheap and hope you do, too. The Getty looks to be convenient to get to with a car.

We will miss you too. Any chance of a Corflu in Wales? You can has minions.

So kind of you to offer! I'm afraid (well, not very afraid) that I chaired my last convention a decade ago. Gave it a handful of chances under varying conditions and learned that I like helping run conventions, and actively dislike leading them.

Learn something new every day! No that I blame you, but I didn't know this about you.

Are you flying into LAX or Burbank? Thursday to Monday sounds good. Rich Coad said he's showing up on Thursday too.

Also, I'd be happy to help pay for a rental car, although I can't drive myself at this point.
