If anyone in the UK ever holds an Indy meet, let me know because I wouldn't want to miss it! :)

I'm sure at least some of you all know of TheForce.Net's Fan Force. Would you all like something similar?
Gilles and I have been throwing this idea around a bit, and I wanted to hear what you all thought about it.

Don't make us form 'chapters' pleeeeeeeeeeease!!!! (I have my reasons) I reckon a single events board would do since The Raven has fewer members than the Fan Force boards. Then if anyone knows of or is organising an Indy-related event, they can post about it, or it could be used to arrange something ('Anyone in _____ want to meet up to do _____?' posts). It might end up looking a bit cluttered, but are several boards with a single thread necessary?

[00Kevin]

I agree with West, no chapters, I don't know her reasons, but I want to say keep the Raven together! Don't split us






now then.......Ohio anyone? I beleive Aaron and Attila are here...

Scratch that, just read in another thread that Aaron moved........




oh well, I'm probubly ganna move to CA about a month befor Indy 4 comes out.......perhaps us CAers can meet there

About 3 years ago...I'm in my 5th semester at my local Community College. (mainly because everything else is too dang expensive)

I visit CA about twice a year, so a Summer '05 visit is not out of the question. I can see it now, a dozen or so fedora-clad guys rushing upon Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye.:)

[merancapeman]

Well, i live in a little town called Surry in New Hampshire, I'd LOVE to be on the mailing list. (a lot of people here never even HEARD of Indy).

Well, on christmas I plan on buying a leather jacket and fedora hat. Can you BELIEVE the money it takes to buy those two things?! ALOT! I wish there was a cheaper place in New Hampshire to get a decent coat...

Although, i DID check out TJ MAX, they have one, i found, thats a little on the black side that's about 100 or so dollars. I can't even begin to talk about how to FIND a fedora here. I don't think I can get one on the Internet.

Anyways, put me on the mailing list.

Couldn't what? Say thank you? See us? Scared we will bite?;):D Just kidding.
I would like to meet some of the regulars here too. I almost went to the Comic fair last summer, but because of the lack of funds and a brand new job, I couldn't go. I wish I had because I would have met a few of the members here. Oh well, I am happy to see you all getting together...it warms my heart.:)

[merancapeman]

Fisk? Where DO you live? Unfortunantly, I'm still hard working on the book, and on top of that, i'm going to Somerset Kentucky over vacation, my ol' hometown. I'm so sorry Fisk. I wish i was there, but I'm honored that you invited me. Tell me what happens ;)

I mite get one more to come, if thats ok.

[Lon]

This is all very cool. I've been hoping that some day an Indy gathering of some sort would happen (whether I make it or not). It just seems that the world of Indiana Jones has its fans but not really the "community" Star Wars has.

By the way, I live in Indiana (how perfect is that?) if anyone is in the area.

Let me tell ya, the ride is AWESOME! :)

[Webley]

Now would be a good time for you to plan on getting together with other members who live neer you to hook up and see Jones4 in 05.

[merancapeman]

Renderking, maybe i can come this time. (I know, what a strange time to pop up). I am working on the music, don't ever think i gave up. I'm almost done with the intro score, lol. Now, renderking, maybe we can plan something?

[merancapeman]

Well, i'll e-mail you where i live, maybe we can actually get something going. I dunno... That would be awesome!

[Webley]

We should all meet up in some big city to see Jones 4 in 2005!

[Webley]

We should all meet up in some big city to see Jones 4 in 2005! Start saveing your $$ for the big trip.

[Venture]

That would rock!!

[Joe Brody]

For most openings I'd say do it on the East Coast to take advantage of the Eastern time zone (and the 'earlier' opening) but with a movie like Indy IV I wouldn't be surprised by a simultaneous nationwide opening. If so, then other factors should come into play -- like trying to make cost of travel the cheapest for the greatest number and what other attractions the locale would afford.

Some of the obvious candidates would be:
(1) LA -- Disneyland and a certain ride come to mind.
(2) Orlando -- WDW -- plus cheap rooms and flights.
(3) Vegas -- Enough said (plus cheap rooms and flights). [Incidentally the Lewboskifest people are holding their Lewboskifest West in Vegas this summer for the stated and other obvious reasons].

Me? I like New York City -- I'm 25 minutes outside the City (just north across the border with the border with the Bronx). I'm sure Indy IV will open in a number of good theartres in the city -- including my favorite for a big premire, the Ziegfeld in Midtown. If the consensus is Orlando or New York, I could help organize something.

[Joe Brody]

If we're going to do this, I'd suggest that the mods set up separate table as part of their overhaul here.

For one thing, planning an event generates a lot of chatter and it helps to isolate it in one place. The Lewboskifest people have a separate table for planning their fests.

Second, Ren I know you, I and some others intend to swear off most if not all of the tables here so as not to learn unwanted bits of info about Indy IV -- so this is an important reason to isolate an area to plan an event.

[Indyologist]

I live in Buffalo, NY but I'd gladly go to NYC for a big Indy opening and to meet y'all. Just please try to keep it as cheap as possible. I'd splurge a little bit 'cause Indy's worth it. However, $500 is the limit for me. Well, maybe $600, but NO HIGHER!!

BTW, if we are actually going to do this, the absolute latest time we should start planning is some time in April because the movie will probably open sometime between May-July. Better yet, start planning NOW so we can make arrangements, save $$, etc. We need someone to coordinate all this and do some research on hotel/travel packages for a large group to go to NYC. Someone that can be trusted with personal information (like our addresses, phone #s, etc.) and possibly with money (such as to make a down payment for our rooms, etc.). I think this is a great idea, but we need to ACT immediately. You can count me in.

[LASTCRUSADER]

I'm in Ottawa Canada and would also be willing to take part in this. I've never been to NYC so I would make the drive down for sure.

[Indyologist]

OR-- we could just plan our trips to NYC individually, in which case we'd have to have definate, CONCRETE information as to where we are going to meet, the time and what our
"Indy Itinerary" is going to be. I want some kind of a flyer or something in the mail or a very detailed e-mail, if we choose to do this.

(Although, you'd have to admit that a bunch of Indy freaks taking up half a floor of a hotel would be a friggin' riot and would generate a lot of publicity!)

[Joe Brody]

I agree that everyone would handle their own travel arrangements personally and then the organizer (like I said, I'd help with NY or Orlando) would (i) post info regarding hotels, (ii) come up with an itinerary (sp?) of sites and other local activities of interest for the weekend (so that people traveling to the destination can make a mini-vacation of the opening weekend), (iii) post info and help organize catching the movie (I don't know how cooperative theatres are with booking groups for big event films on the opening weekend, so this will have to be explored), and (iv) possibly help put together at least one get-together (like a dinner) for the group.

As to the film, one problem would be picking a time. The film will most likely open mid-week -- before some people can complete their traveling. So some consensus would have to be reached as to when would be best time to see the movie -- at the beginning or end of the weekend.

As to the locale, planning will be dictated by the destination.

For example, if Orlando is picked, I would propose a number or WDW and non-Disney resorts for people to stay. One neat possiblity would be to get a number of campsites at Fort Wilderness Campground and have a group BBQ at some point during the weekend (incidentally, one of the better resorts, the Wildneress Lodge is in walking distance of the campground for those disinclined to camp). One day -- probably a Satuday -- would be spent in the Parks, most likely MGM. We could set a time to see the stunt show as a group.

If New York is picked, I could post a number of good places to stay and good attactions in and around the city. I could organize a great hike up at Harriman State park just up the Hudson from the City. And again, we'd have to settle on a time and catch the film some time during the weekend.

Ya we'd be like Rock & Roll stars but not as cool!

[Webley]

So whos all going to NYC in 05. Are the west costers going to meet in LA and what are the guys in Europe going to do.

[Indyologist]

I would gladly plan to go to NYC, but not after everyone here agrees on the basics: how much to pay, where to meet, etc. I'll have to review some of the suggestions on this thread and post back later. I think the best thing we can to is take a head count of how many people are really serious about going, throw out some suggestions and then vote on which plan is the best. Majority rules.

Oh, and by the way, wherever we end up meeting together, I don't want anyone sneaking up behind us with a grenade launcher and saying "yoo-hoo" ala Raiders!
