Fantastic!!
So Can I assume that we'll be taking a tour of the city during the day on Thursday the 26th, then hitting the lanes in the later evening?
What a stupendous way to begin my vacation! Can't wait

Wow Marc, you really are a Mensch!!!
What a way to be welcomed... Can't wait!!! Do keep up posted.
Maybe we should all post our email addresses here and keep tabs?
How early do you think we'll be starting?
I arrive on the 25th. I'v booked to stay at the hotel on the convention for the 3 nights its on. I better call and see if I can stay there for the 2 nights prior aswell. That should be ok, do you think? I sure hope so

Looks like an awesome trip, Marc! Makes me wish I was an attendee instead of on the planning committee!
Thanks for arranging this for the fans - you guys are so lucky to be able to go to this! While you're taking in the sights and bowling with the stars, I'll be assembling your convention bags. LOL!!

We'll be thinking of you Brian and I'm sure some of us will rush to your aide should you request it. We're there for 'ya so don't fret.
I've spent so much time in LA that I can make this a quick day. Besides, I have to be at LAX later that evening to pick up sparkyclarkie. Keep the bar open. We'll be there.

You may STILL be able to my friend. I'm thinking of a time we all will start the bowling portion. You may miss the tour but don't fret, we may ALL be coming to the airport. I'll have to discuss this with the team.
Upside frowns may cure those downs. <I just made that up!>

I'm not sure yet sparky but maybe. I may actually leave the group to come get you but we'll cross that road when we get there. Avilos gets in in the afternoon. You get in in the evening unless you can change your flight, but why pay the extre money just to go bowling?
Keep visiting the bowling site for updates.

Well I was hoping you might be able to pick me up before you bowl. But was not sure if I should suggest it, thinking it would be to far out of your way.
But if it would work out that would be great!!!
I could check in to the hotel after we are done bowling. It also helps that my roommate is part of our group!

Ok, we are supposed to check into our motel in Glendale on the 26th. Do I need to bump that up a day to the 25th, to not miss the tour? Keep in mind that we'll be camping along the way, and I have no idea where we'll wake up Thursday morning. Hopefully somewhere west of New Mexico.

Ummm ChickenBoo, why don't you check into your motel very early on the 26th. VERY EARLY. Call them to see if it's possible. We will need ALL day on the 26th and we shouldn't have to wait on people.
See what you can do and let us know.

Guys,
We are arriving on 21st of March so 26th is a great date, especially to meet a few people the day before convention.
We will be happy with anything, a tour of L.A would be great, but only if it is not too much trouble. Such a nice gesture.

Hey All,
Just remember that if it wasn't for Brian and the LeapBack crew, this tiny little shindig would not be happening. It was THEIR choice to bring me on and as much as I despise being a tourist, I'm breaking tradition and providing this little "limo" service to give more of an extended feel of the whole LEAP BACK event.  Thank THEM!
Now, I live outside of Orlando, Florida, the number one vacation destination in the world! I HATE TOURISTS!!!! Rude, can't drive on our roads, save up for 5 years to spend two weeks of complaining in my town, they scream at their kids and they smell! So now that you know how I feel about all of you,  I'm sure I won't have to pull out my American Revolver and put it to use.
Remember this: You WILL have fun!! You WILL enjoy your visit to my great country. You WILL laugh at every joke, good or bad, that I may tell in the vehicle.
GOT IT?!! GOOD! NOW BE HAPPY!!!!

Btw, don't forget to check the bowling site often. Things change and I talk a lot!!

Do you want fotos sent to your e-mail address? Does not seem like we can add them to the site ourselves.
I need better than this! But for now it will do..

Just how early is VERY EARLY? I mean, if it's crazy early, I may as well extend our reservations for one more day. The closest camping I can find is somewhere in the desert, which is probably where we'll be waking up on Thursday. (I work evening and night shifts [swing shift] so crazy early is hard for me, unless I'm already at or close to my destination. Or, unless I've been up all night anyway.)

Hi, I was wondering is there anymore room to go on this tour? This is my first time that I'll be seeing the US (apart from the airports that I'vew passed through on my way to canada) I think there is going to be three of us, me, my mum and a friend of mine that I'm hoping to catch up with. If we can tag along that would be cool.

Hi Janna,
I'm really sorry but unless you have your own vehicle, we are full. We'd love to have the three of you but I don't think LA LAW (Ha! I made a joke) will allow us to put you on the roof.
Sorry.
