Question on future locations of Convention...

feeds@yuku.com (Fredline) — Fri, 05 Oct 2001 23:30:37 GMT

I was just curious if "Irvine" has become the permanent spot for the "Annual Convention". Have you seriously considered any other West Coast locations?
I personally would like to see it come to "Seattle", "Las Vegas", "Reno" or perhaps "The Bay Area" - what are the chances for any of these locations?
Thanks in advance -Fred.

Question for Diane

feeds@yuku.com (Dave Lopez) — Thu, 04 Oct 2001 10:56:50 GMT

This has been brought up on a couple other message boards and thought I would ask you. With recent events happening in NYC, have you had anyone cancel thier tickets? I was wondering if it was making some potential attendees from the east coast who would have to fly in have second thoughts and decide not to attend this year.

The other boards have all been positive in that they all are planning on coming. I have not read anywhere of anyone changing thier minds. I'm sure the Hyatt is...

Anyone on the left coast...

Anyone on the left coast wanna make a deal? I live in Virginia, within walking distance to Hyatt where the nationals are being held next year. If anyone is willing to make an even trade, I will be sure to pick up extra convention cars in April (including the exclusive car) Let me know, this year has just been too busy for me to attend Irivine.

Is There Still Tables Available for Sunday Show?

feeds@yuku.com (Dave Lopez) — Fri, 28 Sep 2001 16:43:41 GMT

Hi Diane,
Is there still sales tables available for Sundays Toy Show? Due to a change in plans, I will be able to stay and sell at the show and was wondering if it is okay to just pay for a table there at the convention being that we are just over a week away.

Thanks for your reply,
Dave

Covention bus and Coupe

feeds@yuku.com (hwace4me) — Sat, 22 Sep 2001 16:13:43 GMT

Hi Diane! I was just wondering how many of each we will be able to buy the first time around. If we buy the $100 bunch(2 buses @ 4000 , 2 coupes @ 4000, and 1 bus @ 2000) will we still be able to buy more of the bus and coupe that are limited to 4000 and if so how many? Anyway I'm counting down the days. Thank you.
