Ran Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I know there's BwBers in the region, so figured I'd highlight this. Chicago would be a great place to try and convince GRRM of the virtues of deep dish pizza over New York-style, wouldn't it? ;)More info about the C2E2 convention he'll be attending that weekend over here.

lady narcissa Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I saw this and was quite excited! I just need to figure out what ticket needs to be purchased on that website.Chicago would be a great place to try and convince GRRM of the virtues of deep dish pizza over New York-style, wouldn't it? ;)LOL! Except that would require that someone who likes deep dish pizza attend. As a former New Yorker, I'm not going to be that person *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alguien Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Both Neil Gaiman and GRRM will be at this event. I'm so bummed because its right in the middle of my vacation to Costa Rica and I will miss it. Well, I'm not bummed about my vacation, but even so, I'd love to have gone to this and seen both of those authors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blackfish Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I want to go. But I don't know yet. But I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniowa Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I want to go. But I don't know yet. But I want to.Ditto that. It would have been nice if we could have known about this further in advance, but GRRM probably wasn't allowed to mention it. I'll have to see what I can do about it.

LugaJetboyGirl Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'm tempted to go. I've never been to a comic expo/convention, though, so I'm a little scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'm probably going to be able to only go for one day, so I need to make sure it's the day that I can get the most time in with everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Has anyone figured out the ticket situation? Can we just buy a Friday admission ticket to the convention and be able to see GRRM? Or do we have to buy one of the special Avatar packages that specifically mention his talk? Or can we just buy a Friday ticket through the link on the Avatar page?I'm tempted to go. I've never been to a comic expo/convention, though, so I'm a little scared.Me too! If you decide to come we can be scared together. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 I believe the only way to get a ticket for the Avatar Friday Night Event as listed there is to buy one of the packages which include the three-day pass to C2E2 (sold at $50). They might well sell extra tickets separately later, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebla Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'll probably be up for this. I have to figure out the work and childcare situation but I should know fairly soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebla Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Well, I have some news. The bad news is that I don't think there is any chance in Hell we could get GRRM to try Chicago style pizza. He's East Coast snobby that way!!The good news is that I'm fairly conviced he'd be willing to sample another fine Chicago cuisine!As a matter a fact, mouse and I were contacted this afternoon by George asking if the BwB would like to have another feast at the Greek Isles restaurant in Chicago. This has become something of a BwB tradition when George comes into Chicago so this an invitaion to all who can make it that weekend. Right now I do not have a date or time yet but will be in contact with George and will let you all know ASAP.Sadly mouse will be unable to attend due to previous plans. But we shall make a toast to her and her sweet little daughter! OPA!-Trebla (Al) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I want to be able to do both.Do we know GRRM's schedule at the con? That way I can pick the best single day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 No clear schedule other than the special Friday night event. Says they'll post a full schedule later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebla Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 No clear schedule other than the special Friday night event. Says they'll post a full schedule later this month.Right. I did get an e-mail from GRRM a little bit ago and he did mention that Sunday night might be the best night for a dinner. But again, until the official schedule is released, we won't know for sure. As soon is it is released, I'll touch base with him and see what we can work out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Cool. I'll try to set the schedule to clear the whole weekend, just in case...thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wedge Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 If the dinner is on Sunday night, is there any way I could sneak onto the reservation list?ETA... if this happens, that is. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Wineskin Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 ...FUCK! I live in Chicago and he has to visit when I'm going to be at school and too busy with semester-end projects to even think of coming home for a weekend.And I recently found out there was a Pelican show on the 12th, the day before I came home for spring break. What a shitty spring break this is turning out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
