I was on the phone with the GAF organizers this morning, and they've already sold over 75% of the swap meet spaces. Looks like they've gotten the event back up to speed. Cap'n Krusty, Lyn, and the other assorted characters usually seen in our FOUR giant fun filled spaces are already gearing up for it, and hope to see a LOT of you there! Your continued participation will keep this annual event happening and growing ................... Help me clean out the shop, too!

Any word/rumors re: how the rest of the event is shaping up (i.e. other than the swap meet)? The last few I've been to were very disappointing in that respect.

We should get a good turnout from the Santa Clarita crew. I'm going to HSR West on Saturday and then driving out Saturday night for the swap and festivities on Sunday. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again!

BTW - Anybody know about any discount rates at the local hotels?

Rate at the Crown Plaza is $129; you have to CALL the reservation number and tell them the name of the event. I called and got that rate. The beach front lounge is the best and there is a pool. Service there is always excellent.

The Vagabond, is about 3 short blocks away and has the lowest prices.

Looking west from the Crown Plaza toward the fair grounds. If you make a reservation, request a room on the WEST side; you can keep an eye on your car, plus the sunsets are great. There's a 1/4 dirt track to the west of the fairgrounds, they race Friday nights. Lot's of fun if you don't mind getting hit by mud.

Picture of pier; just a few steps from the Crown Plaza, Bar and Restaraunt at pier is pretty cool

They're out of the special rate reserved rooms, normal rate of $179.00 per night is all they have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I would recommend contacting the Ventura Crown Plaza directly and ask if they can add rooms at the event price. They are very accomodative-from past experience.

I did that. They wouldn't add.
