Good Day Everyone,
We have spent much time already planning a large eVe fanfest to take place on March 15th and 16th 2006 ...In Las Vegas, Nevada USA
WE FIRMLY BELIEVE EVE NEEDS A NORTH AMERICAN FANFEST IN THE GRANDEST FASHION. WE CHOOSE LAS VEGAS. WE CHOOSE TO DO THIS 3 DAYS BEFORE GDC 2006 TO ALLOW CCP AS WELL AS FANS TO ATTEND BOTH EVENTS.
With proper planning you could easily go to this event and slip on down to California for GDC in a three day window between events..(or stay the weekend in Las Vegas or both!!)
We have confirmation that CCP will attend if we move forward to make this event happen...even with gifts from there grab bag of goodies at the CCP store...
we also have two days of events planned with a stunning after hours party for the final day at a famous night club in Las Vegas. Rock and Roll at its finest. Full dinner included also
we plan to include a two night package and two full days of eVe fanfair events in our very own private ballroom just for this event both days, including catered lunch to all attendees both days
some of the things that are in planning or on our slate include....
- EvE Fanfest 2006 Kick off party meet and greet...
The Loot Can with prizes ranging from a 42" Plasma TV to Loads of eVe swag and gear and more....with several ways to win when you attend.
CCP will attend and be represented in the highest fashion as we have scheduled the event 3 days before GDC in California. We are hoping to discuss the details in the next week as to what when and where with CCP. (We think CCP will send some of the main dev crew for this event as GDC is just after our dates of this event. We are still discussing this with CCP)
The hottest afterhours rock and roll party on the planet at a major nightclub (we have the venue reserved) and trust me...it is A VERY HIP ROCK CLUB in the HEART of LAS VEGAS (right across the street from the Hard Rock Las Vegas)
We also plan to have the "Ladies of EvE" make a personal appearance completely dressed in character for this event to entertain and facilitate our events festivities.
All attendees will recieve a free shirt that recognizes this event.
and MUCH MORE.....
We have more to tell and more to add to the event schedule but here is the reason for this post.....
We really need to get some kind of feel for the amount of players that would possibly attend this event or even be interested
we have alot of great stuff planned...more then we can tell you here ...
we have a website thats been in production for a week now and almost ready to go to promote this event succesfully...
heres my reason for posting this....
will you come??? do you want to meet the devs of eVe? do you want to meet other eVe players? do you want to do all this in the entertainment capitol of the world???
We need feedback......tell us what you want to see at this event also...if you might attend...
the point.... would YOU attend....????

I'd LOVE to go, ahving never been to Vegas when I could A) Drink, or B) Gamble.
But being poor and in Japan has proven to keep me from such an event. Hopefully this will become annual. OMG so much fun. ________________ <- Hates Whiners and people with generally crappy attitudes. Does not play well with morons. |

It's generally easier and cheaper to fly to Vegas than most anywhere in the US, Bawl.
If I have a job and the money, I'll probably be there. Shame it's during the Spring Break period though. That'll mean rooms are a lot more than most other times of the year.

hmmm, never looked into it, but if they plan far enough ahead of time, will load up the truck and bring my own pc to join in. (hotels cost much there?) Ooooops, had a nice siggy, but its 14k over the size limit....<sniff, tears>

I agree. It is important to rally your players and create additional friendship bonds beyond teamspeak so that the experience of EVE is much more enjoyable than just shooting at blank faces.
Morale, friendship, and a good chance for a completely seperate nation to meet with the CCP team. --------------

I'm there and I hope to some of the Devs come to. Tho I think it might be best that Oveur stay in iceland. He might get hammered and lose CCP in a card game... wait I'm good at poker... I like the sound of CEO and DEV Rabbitgod.

Okay just quick question. GDC is in LA correct and not Vegas. So we wont have to deal with booking problems? That is a Wensday and Thursday correct?
And I'm sure I can find a package for $250 or so. (of course that was like 3 years ago) Vegas ALWAYS has great deals for cheap flights and hotel packages.
Hmmmm.
will you come??? - If I can make it, yes do you want to meet the devs of eVe? - Hell yeah and drink lots of beer. do you want to meet other eVe players? - Only if they are are funny when drunk. do you want to do all this in the entertainment capitol of the world??? - Like I said they have some real great combo packages.
the point.... would YOU attend....???? -

I would try to make it. Flights are cheap enough from B.C. to Vegas that it should be quite easy to get there. _____________________ We are not a mining corp. We are not a pvp corp. We are a 0.0 corp. CoRM is recruiting here |

you are correct...we purposely choose these dates to coincide with being able to attend this event and then have 3 days in between GDC and our event...this is for a few reasons....
1. To be able to get more then just a dev or two to attend...with these dates CCP states they might be able to make a gran appearance since they will come from iceland for GDC anyway.. (we are crossing our fingers)
2. To allow attendees the option to go onto GDC with a 3 day window between events to ease travel and timeframes
3. To allow attendees a chance to have the weekend in Vegas if they wanted it ... with the option to goto GDC also...
4. Weekday room/event rates in vegas are ALOT cheaper for our event to be cost effective and keep cost LOW for the attendees.
just imagine... 2 days of EvE fanfest and then 3 days in vegas and then onto GDC.....woohoo!
yes our event is in vegas and GDC is in california

Edited by: Morkalum Takor on 01/12/2005 08:03:53 I would definitely attend, especially since I live within the Vegas area. Btw, what were the crossroads for the bar/nightclub that started this idea with the 10 foot screen?

hey Vegas Babe is from Boston!....yes boston must be represented!...:):)
we plan to be including two nights rooms in a major hotel with our event (possibly a major airfare deal if we can get enough to come)....hopefully you will just need a flight (at most) and spending cash...we plan to help players be able to afford this....not make it some high dollar event thing...like meals included and such during the events (so you have more money to spend in vegas LOL)
its all about the eVe community...not the money....for us anyway...in makeing this go... ...we have the funds and resources so we think this would be really fun for all whom can come and even for those whom cannot, when we show pics of players and devs drinking beer together..(ops maybe i shouldn't say that LOL)
