Any suggestions for a Rookie

[lawlerman]

Hey guys, this is my first go round. As far as getting in the autograph lines (I have no vip pass) how early should I go?
Will there be plenty of 8x10s of each wrestler and around how much are they?
Will I recieve an email confirming my ticket puchase or do I just bring my paypal reciept?
Are there some fast food places around the hotel?
Thanks in advance for helping me out, Can't wait

**As far as getting in the autograph lines (I have no vip pass) how early should I go?

Non VIP's probably won't be in line until a little bit after the session starts. But the sooner you're there, the better spot you'll get among non-VIP's.

**Will there be plenty of 8x10s of each wrestler and around how much are they?

Yes. Color is $2, b&w is $1. Should be a good bunch available on almost any wrestler at the convention. There are examples on the Fanfest website. Last time, they had stacks of hundreds of each photo it seemed.

**Will I recieve an email confirming my ticket puchase or do I just bring my paypal reciept?

I would bring your paypal receipt just in case. I did last time, but luckily didn't need it. I never got an email, but you could always shoot an email to [e-mail] to have Greg confirm it for you.

*Are there some fast food places around the hotel?

Yes. There is pizza, mexican and McDonalds within walking distance from the hotel, amongst other things.

Thanks SSteward,
Have you found your Midnight Express theme? I used to have it on an lp with a bunch of studio tracks that shows or commercials could use for free, it was in fact called "midnight express". The Art Bell show also used it as its theme on radio.

Are you sure it's the same one I need? I have 2 different versions, one is the one from the movie MX. But the one I need, they used it from 1987-1990 and Eaton used as a single at Starrcade 90, Superbrawl 91 etc.

[lawlerman]

I was not aware there were two different versions. I will check out Superbrawl I think I have it on tape, but I may not.

Another rookie here. I'll be coming down from PA. I'll be there Thursday at the Hilton, maybe someone will wanna share a beer?

[ssteward]

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone and meeting folks I haven't before. I'm not hard to recognize, just check out my pic with Dusty in the "Previous Fanfests" section on the Fanfest website.

[shockey]

I was sitting next to you at the last one during one of the sessions. I saw us in a pic. ;D

[ssteward]

cool. I can't recall what anyone around us looked like.

[ssteward]

I looked and could only find one pic of us sitting in the line. You the guy in the blue hat and the white shirt with the # on it?

WarToad, I know of quite a few people that will be around the hotel on Thursday.

Maybe we can get an informal gathering of some sort on Thursday night. To be honest with you, that's about the only time that I still have a little sanity left. Come Friday, it's a crazy three days for me personally and I don't have the chance to socialize like I'd like.

[natureboy14]

we'll be arriving thursday probably around 6 or 7pm

[ssteward]

I'll probably bump into you guys....I will have already been at the hotel for 4 days

[bluedevil71]

Have a beer for me. I'll be there Friday morning.

I'll be getting there between 9 & 10 Thursday night. I'd like to meet up with some of you guys. How about in the lounge area with the big screen.
