The only thing that sketches me out about the $150 guy is that he doesn't say the name of his company. Even when I emailed him, he sort of danced around the question. Seems a little fishy.

I'll be based in Belfast and will be spending some time in Iceland, Croatia, and Germany, and France.

Nice. Never got to see Croatia but I have heard it is cool. I love France with all my heart.

Wiesbaden because that's where 1st AD's HQ is at. Which unit were you in?

Ah right, that makes sense. Did a couple TDYs there. I was stationed at Landstuhl Regional and occasionally got paired up with 223rd med brigade.

Should I call or just e-mail E3 reg? I feel like calling tomorrow would be faster.

So wait, people can still register? Hmm that's what Im trying to figure out.

The guy I was talking to said he could get me a pass via his company, and it sounded like he already had the majority of his for his company.
So I'm assuming, but I'm going to call them.
It may just be that every pass is $150 now.

Let me know how it goes, I will try the same.
Anyone going to go to The Verge/Polygon pre E3 party in Downtown LA. Open bar has me very interested.

These are never good (At least from PAX experience)
Giant wait lines and standing room only. Free booze though.
BuggyDClown
Member
Hmm, maybe I wont go then haha. I don't care about standing when theres free drinks and a dj. Big lines sounds awful though.
It's an event in Downtown LA that will get word spread with free alcohol.
I'd expect the line to be 30-60 minutes. I might be totally wrong though!
The CheapAssGamer E3 party with an open bar two years ago was awesome. The Verge/Polygon party with open bar last year sucked hard.

Anthony Bourdain: Part Unknown episode about Koreatown is cracking me up. David Choe is really eccentric. He took Bourdain to Sizzler.
That Sizzler is magic in the hood, Growing up that was the place for special dinners (Bdays,Graduations,etc...).

Yeah, called E3 Reg. They told me I can still register as industry, but it costs the regular price.
TheKaeptain
Banned
That's what the dude told him!
Me and my sister and brother started cracking up when we watched the episode and that Sizzler came up.

I really liked the episode but man David Choe is a weird dude. A friend of mine found this online and now I want to go find it

I bit the bullet and contacted that guy. I made sure that no money is being exchanged until AFTER I have a pass.

And let's hope he doesn't mug you for the rest of your wallet too. =)
I guess if you pay him in front of the badge table or somewhere so that there'd be witnesses.

There will be other people there. I'm going to one of the monday Pressers, so I made sure we met up when I'm meeting up with people for brunch beforehand.

I said the same thing with him.
LMK since I haven't received a follow up yet after the first response.

He took all day but got back to me after the first response.
HP_Wuvcraft

Same.
It's looking like E3 Proper will be last minute for me if I do go.
But as of now:
1) no dogsitter
2) no hotel
3) I've been offered housing, but it's in Culver, and I don't feel comfortable taking public transportation for that long
3) money isn't infinite
I'm going to be there Monday, so that's the only real reason I don't want to go back and forth. I'd rather just get situated and be there fora GAF meet.

The Expo Line (a light rail line) would take you quickly and safely from Culver City to two blocks from the Convention Center. I've taken it multiple times, and have always felt completely comfortable, and I rarely take public transportation.

Ello folks, first time posting here. I'm currently living with my folks in Temecula after I graduated college. But it's time for me to try my hand at the film industry and for that I need to live in LA.
I was thinking about moving to Culver City, how safe is it?
