| A few guys in chat earlier were discussing the possibility of us attending C6 in Orlando next year. It seems quite a few guys are toying (lol) with the idea, & quite a number of TIGgers have already decided they'll go. I thought a thread here might help make some minds up, especially while there is still time to save. I know it is still a way off, but time flies as they say, & the earlier the decision to go is made, the more time to save & get organized there is. A whole group of TIGgers attending would be an awesome thing. I know that I for one would be attending more because it's just about the only chance i'll get to meet most of you guys. ......oh, & for the room sales too!! So, maybe if guys can just post thier intent to attend, & maybe if they've booked tickets for the event, hotels, travel plans, whether they'll be with wifes/girlfriends or looking for roommates to share with etc. I guess this is an excellent excuse for most of us to spend a few days absolutely completely submerged in our favourite hobby, & with our best mates too!!! I'm excited!!! |

| I'm making plans to go. Barring floods, death, bad hair day, and a bad case of the cooties I will start the saving process now and get my butt there. I have to look into a room pretty soonly. As well as travel plans. Pretty sure my wife will be going with me. If it turns out she isn't going I may be looking for a roomate. We TIGers should think about setting aside an evening to get together and hang out. SO EXCITED!!!! Think of all the crap we can buy and bring home. |

| If things go right for me for once, I plan on making it this time. That is unless the world comes to an end first. If/when I go, I'll be by myself, so Paul if you need a roomie, I'm game. I'll def know by the end of the year, so that will give a full 8+ months to get everything together on it. I cant miss this one again with it so close. |

| I'm definitely going. Since it's in Orlando again, I may be going with a friend of mine that has family there. If that's the case, I would be staying with them. But at this point the wife and I are talking about making a whole vacation out of it. Since it's in Orlando, we cold get there early, and take the kids to Disneyworld, Universal Studios, etc. And also my oldest son will be 8 then, so I think he would really dig going to CIV. If thats's the case, then we would be staying in a hotel. Either way, it might make meeting up and going to the room sales more difficult, because I would either have obligations to hang out with my friends family, or be obligated to my family. But I swore after CV that I would NOT miss the room sales again, and NOT miss the opportunity to hang out and meet the friends I've made, both here, and at POTF2.com, the other awesome forum I frequent. So after all that, hell yes I'm going, and hell yes I wanna hang out! |

| I am in for my fourth Celebration event. I will be rooming with a few scummers at the Rosen Centre and looking forward to an awesome time. Similar to CV, I will be making some exclusive swag as well. Definitely a patch (three colors) and either a coin or t-shirt. Of course, the latter depends on $$$$. My son will be six and might join me for a day or two as well. I will let him gaze at the half-naked women walking around. That should give him a good education.. |

| I am about 75% sure I will be attending, it's been a long time since my wife and I had a holiday so this would be a chance to visit the states together and also get some SW time in I doubt I will be staying in the $100+ Rosen but I am sure there are lots of hotels close by to the action that are a bit cheaper so there must be other options! Got a LOT of planning and saving to do, this is ultimately going to be a huge expense for us coming all the way over so I hope things go according to plan. *Puts lottery ticket on* |

Joe, when my wife and I went to CV, we stayed at the Clarion Inn and Suites, just 2 buildings away from the Rosen and we got a fantastic room for a great deal. I'm pretty sure we'll be going to CVI and I'd be happy to stay there again. So there's definitely other good options out there. |

| Joe I'm looking at the Hotels nearby right now. I too probably won't be staying at the Rosen. I hate paying that much for a hotel room. I'm happy as long as there is a bed and a shower. A room is just that for me, four walls and a place to crash. The econo Lodge is looking pretty good right now. |

| Just got it all booked up! Celebration 6 just got a little DarthTadier!!
I'm staying at the Peabody. Not sure how that relates to all the other hotels as far as distance, but I think they're all relatively close.
Any word on a TIG meet up yet? |

| Not there until late Friday, but hope to meet a few of you throughout Saturday & Sunday. My guess is that trading the 'StarTots' is going to be the perfect icebreaker... ...wait...I think I just came up with a t-shirt idea! - Gawthrok |

| I'll be there -- mostly filming stuff for the documentary, but also hanging out and doing my best to hit all the collector panels. (And whatever else looks cool.) My first Celebration -- totally psyched! |
