First Annual OOTP Convention June 4-6 including RECAP - Page 6

Jordan · 03-20-2004, 03:38 PM

damn...I wanna go to this

messenjah · 03-20-2004, 09:20 PM

So any news on a way for us people to lame or too far away to go being able to read up on the discussions that go on there. Maybe recording the discussions/lectures/whatever else on video, or audio, or writing what people say down. I would love to go, but am way to busy right about then, but I'd still love to hear about what goes on.

We will do our best to document all that happens and make available during the Convention, We will also have pictures, etc.

gmo · 03-27-2004, 12:28 AM

I think this convention is a great idea. But I can't help but get the mental image of people walking around in Vulcan ears or stormtrooper outfits, just with ball caps and jerseys on too.

I think this is very important, mainly because I can't come to it. Having a web page where people, whether they were there or not, can see what came of the get-together would be terrific. Transcripts, presentations, as much as possible.

REGISTERED! See you all there, I mean here, there.... you know what I mean!!!

cowell44 · 04-07-2004, 10:56 AM

OK time for a April Update.
- The Mud Hens will be arriving today so I should have some names of who may be attending by the end of the week.
- Registration has slowed for a little bit, BUT it is starting to pick up again. I know there seems to be a group of people from CHICAGO, and other Midwest City's that are trying to put together car pools If you could firm up plans and get those registrations in. It would really help Steve and Myself.
- Jason should be releasing Forum info hopefully by the end of the week.
- Remember registration is 75.00 per person.
- We will be putting together grab bags for all attendees with neat OOTP merchandise. plus other goodies.

More to follow

adamgould · 04-07-2004, 12:32 PM

If registration is $85, then why does it say $75 on the word .doc?

sporr · 04-07-2004, 12:53 PM

$75 was for early registration before 4/1/04.

cowell44 · 04-07-2004, 02:13 PM

The current cost is 75.00 after April 1st. Sorry for the typo, FIXED

cowell44 · 04-07-2004, 05:33 PM

In order to finalize numbers and get plans finished for the convention, Registration will close on May 15th. Please ensure all registrations are in by midnight EST on the 15th. I will be finalizing plans for speakers later this week. Hope to see you there.

Omega Supreme · 04-08-2004, 10:27 AM

I'd love to go to this but I just can't make it.

SanDiegoPadres19 · 04-14-2004, 10:44 PM

An OOTP convention and no OOTP tournament.

Somebody has got to set that up. I wish i could attend but Toledo, Ohio is a little far away from my neck of the woods. I do like the Las Vegas idea, or even better, LA ....

Steve Kuffrey · 04-14-2004, 10:51 PM

It IS in the plans, we are just waiting to see how best to carry it out.

Yaz1961 · 04-15-2004, 10:37 AM

Would love to go but coming from Mass it would be tough. I'd have to drive though because if I was going, I'd have to bring the majority of my 50,000 trading cards to sell.

But guess that point is useless since I can't make it.

LOL

Jason · 04-21-2004, 04:38 PM

Here are some of the forums at the convention June 4-6:

Dave Elkin · 04-24-2004, 01:59 PM

Will there be a live audio or video broadcast of speeches? I live in New Mexico so the drive is a little bit lenghty. If not live, will there be documents published at OOTP website?
