Okay all of your Califest D3'ers, and D3'ers from all over. It's that time again, for the biggest, baddest, and most fun LAN for 2004. Califest 2k4, is coming at ya once again.... I've secured a Venue, Hotel/Conf room combo that is 1 mile away from San Francisco International Airport. There is free Shuttle Service 24 hrs a day. Here are some of the dates i'm looking at, please feel free to provide input.

Ideal Date and 1st Choice:
May 28-30 May 31st being Memorial Day, and a solid 3 day weekend for most.

umm as for the rest of the dates not sure, cuz i'm not sure when the Chicago fest is. Still have to find out that date. The conference room holds 150 people, with a IHOP right next door. I set it up, with no curefew!!!

Friday 5pm-Sunday 5pm, non stop...Anyways, MOD's of this forum please Sticky this thread, so I can get peoples input for best dates.

You the man rock. I'll do all in my power to be there again. Great time last time!

I'm there!

Posted: **Wed Dec 24, 2003 10:48 am**

Hate to be a downer, but, it's not going to be the same without John. John is the guy I really looked forward to seeing every year... such a cool cat.

Shawn, look at the date of when you posted and tell me that's not timed the best, being xmas and all..

Posted: **Wed Dec 24, 2003 11:53 am**

Any date's good for me Rock and I'm going to start recruiting [NuB]s right now.

Suggestion. How about naming it "J_oh's Bash", or something like that?

Posted: **Wed Dec 24, 2003 12:10 pm**

I'm game ! Looking forward to it !

Posted: **Wed Dec 24, 2003 12:26 pm**

so last weekend of May is looking pretty good so far?

Indeed no LAN will be the same for me, knowing that I'll never see big John again. I'll have a moment of silence once we get everyone in the room Friday Night.

Posted: **Wed Dec 24, 2003 3:45 pm**

Hell ya! perfect date for me

before all my shows start.
I'll be there

Posted: **Wed Dec 24, 2003 4:04 pm**

Posted: **Wed Dec 24, 2003 4:38 pm**

Fern, sorry.. it's hard to imagine Califest without the dude.

I'm down for whatever, as long as I don't have to drive too far

... And another Pligrimage begins ! Wooo hOOo !...A minin van of Canadian Content will be there .. !
... (Ferno! .. Start filling yer piggy banks now !)...

Who else might need to plan a ride from Vancouver..?

Posted: **Thu Dec 25, 2003 3:20 am**

well, I figure you have a small caravan gaining strength as you go.

You'll have a stop in Everett, Tacoma, and then Portland.

Posted: **Thu Dec 25, 2003 3:11 pm**

I figure I'll have plenty of cash before then.

How many people are gonna be with us? I figure seven people at the most, so the best bet would be an rental RV?

Posted: **Thu Dec 25, 2003 3:24 pm**

Date sounds fine for me

Posted: **Thu Dec 25, 2003 8:33 pm**

The_Rock,
If this Date is set in stone, and I can get vacation Days, count Gr. and me in(my Mac.)just need Transport from Portland,OR. Perhaps with the NW Caravan?

Posted: **Fri Dec 26, 2003 12:18 am**

In order for the NW caravan to work, we need to know who's where in washington and oregon. I'll start a new thread.

Posted: **Fri Dec 26, 2003 1:39 am**

That's the weekend after I graduate. I was worried it was going to be the same weekend, so it's all good. Hopefully I'll make it again this year.

Posted: **Fri Dec 26, 2003 2:16 am**

I can drive some of the 1500 km distance (each way ..). ... As a primary plan, I hope to swing my Mileage and accomodations on a work related Travel expense, to Roseburg Oregon at least... with a possible diversion to Klamath Falls ...

... But (as Fernoidal knows...), we need additional sources of Funding to boost our Loonie on the long Pilgrimage... Fancier Motels and all... More food and beer, ...

And we also really need drivers that won't fall asleep after 20 minutes at the wheel, or panic in rush hour on the I5... . So someone start planning, .... I can drive 4 people max: That's me plus four more..

!.... Ohh I can smell the californian air already .. !

Posted: **Fri Dec 26, 2003 4:07 am**

Ah yes. That fresh California air. Gotta love it. =)

Posted: **Fri Dec 26, 2003 11:36 am**

Hmm. Looking at the cheapest prices.. Its about... $1200.

Or could I ask my girlfriend's mum what she could do - she gets MAJOR discounts on flights... Muwhahahaa!

that date is great! got to ask daddy first

btw anyone gona drive there and stop by L.A?

Posted: **Sat Dec 27, 2003 9:32 pm**

well last weekend of May is looking good so far, plus Memorial day is that following monday. For those that have jobs, that day is off. so it will be an extra day for you, to visit cali

Posted: **Sun Dec 28, 2003 8:22 pm**

I'm ok with the proposed dates...

what are room rates looking like?

Posted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 6:46 pm**

room rates for this San Fran Venue would be 50 a night plus tax. Double Queen rooms, or Single whatever you prefer. Not to mention a 24hour IHOP at the location. Plus the no curefew thing is also awesome.

Posted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 8:31 pm**

Rock you know I will be there. In fact I am gonna shoot for Thursday so I can help with the set up and stuff.

Posted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 8:52 pm**

I really would like to check out California. I'm gonna' put this on my calendar and see if I can make it happen.

Posted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 9:45 pm**

That monday, I may (or not, depending on the time) be able to show some people a little around san francisco. So if anyone books a flight, I would leave monday evening or something, so you can see a little of cali before you go.

Rock, is this is a hotel with the LAN room on site? If so, that would rule. Those are always the best fests, the ones with the hotel & lanroom being the same place.

Posted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 10:15 pm**

Birds

this is the location i was telling you about, Hotel/Conf room location. Everything in one, NO CUREFEW, IHOP @ LOCATION, FREE SHUTTLE, AND CONF ROOM ALL IN ONE... not to mention great room rates for the weekend. 50+tax for double queen room

Posted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 10:26 pm**

This may be the best califest yet. I will be there 100000% sure

Rock, you rock

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2003 12:24 am**

Cool. I'd like to see San Fran.

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2003 12:43 am**

Rock, is this date set in stone?
I need to kno so I can request vacation hours.

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2003 1:23 am**

I also need to know Rock. my whole caravan idea is hinging on it.

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2003 2:10 am**

My Mom's b-day is the 28th but I would still go

From what I read hear you have a different location this year from last year.

I would hope that I could drag 1/2 of [TA] up there again but its way too soon to say.

Rock- you ever going to update the Califest web site with all the pics from last year?
