CV in Orlando | #21 | ||
|
Hey everyone. Hope to be on these boards more often. I too believe we'll all be able to bask in the glory of Orlando hosting CV next summer. I echo all
of the sentiments posted previously as to why it should be in Florida. I wish I had some concrete evidence, or rumors to further support this, but I
don't. All I can say is I have a very big "gut" feeling it will be in Orlando. I know that nobody knows me from Adam, but I can tell you that
more times than not, my gut instinct is usually correct. Hopefully this isn't the instance where it let's me down...lol!
May the Force be with us all!! Mick Celli |

Well some news is better than no news. It looks like it is confirmed next summer for CV and Sansweet said from Chicago to the Atlantic for a location so we all
can hope for Orlando. I know the force will be with us. Always.

I saw that Sansweet said east of Chicago for the 2010 event. That gives us hope ! I bet its between Chicago and Orlando.... just my guess. He also said they
may not nail down a location as close as 6 months before the event!

That is indeed the official logo. I posted a story on the front pages of Rebelscum and TheForce.net last night about it.

CV: Orlando's still alive! | #30 | ||
|
I can't pass on too much information, but I can say that I've seen some information about Orlando's bid for Celebration V. Not
only are we in the running for this, but I can confirm that the city is actually bidding on a future Celebration beyond "fiVe." There's a 2%
chance that some news will be released Monday. At worst, the information I've seen says that the contracts must be signed by December 1st.

Yes. Rebelscum posted info that Orlando is putting its best foot forward to get the show. It says the cities will be narrowed down to 2 by October 10th. A
final decision made by November 1 !! It mentions Orlando as one city but does not mention any other city. I'd say that qualifies as front runner for
Celebration V !!

As I've maintained all along, my gut tells me Orlando will host CV. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen!!

That's awesome. I'd say Chicago is probably our top competition, but it's exciting that we are this close. Fingers crossed.

Well it's out there that there is no contract yet for Celebration V but Steve Sansweet said it should be finalized within 6 to 8 weeks. We can only hope it
will be sooner than later and I hope Orlando is still in the running. I was reading some Blogs and people keep bringing up how hot it is in August and the
threat of Hurricanes it get old hearing the same old stuff. The heat won't be a problem because your inside for the convention and the chance of a
hurricane, well there is always a chance at any location of some kind of bad weather.I just think we have the best location for this type of event. Celebration
lV in L.A. was a nice venue but there wasn't much for food there and if you left the convention center it was tough to find a place to eat close to the
convention. Orlando doesn't have that problem and the airport is close too.Well time will tell and I still have a good feeling it's going to happen for
us.

I'm with you, too. Anything can happen, and frankly I'll be happy whereever it is, but Chicago gets mad hot around that time, too. Anybody remember in
the 90s when all those elderly people were dying up there on 100 degree days? LA seems to be out of the running, but you make a good point about the lack of
food outlets around the Staples Center. In fact, that convention center was a pretty seedy side of town.

Chris reports that the Forcecast's own Jimmy Mac found this short article from the Orlando Business Journal confirming that Orlando is indeed
fighting for this business. Fingers crossed!
A buddy of mine reports that his hotel's "VP of Sales is convinced that it is coming..." This proves absolutely nothing, but it gets me excited. Now I just gotta make sure I don't plan another dang trip across the world if the big show ends up in my back yard. -Campbell

CV Dates: Interesting Observation | #40 | ||
|
My only concern is that if the dates of August 12-15 are indeed when it would be held, these happen to be the exact dates for Wizard World 2010 in Chicago. So
something has to give. Either the dates change and it stays in Orlando, or the dates stay the same and the venue changes.
However, I highly doubt that they will conduct CV during the same dates as Wizard World, so my money is on the dates changing which could be one reason why we've got this 6-8 week delay in the announcement that Steve mentioned. They could be working out the particulars about the exact dates in August. Anyone else have information which might expound upon this topic? |
