I'll explain why I should opt for credit card size.

Such cards look decent and professional but more inportant is the durability of the badge.  Since it's a memorabilia from our meeting it should last long, if not forever and that's why I came up with the plastic badges.
I'm regulary attending concerts, events, etc... as a member of the press.  In most cases i'm issued a badge and normally I hold them.  The onces printed on paper (even laminated) are in bad condition, most of the time just from wearing it during the event.  (OK I have to admit, during taking pictures I'm mostly ask to wear it constant to provide access so it get's in my way sometimes and it gets some wear on it, if I put them in my jacket without wearing them they are just fine) The plastic ones are in mint condition like they never been used before.

It's possible to make bigger ones but unfortunately not on plastic, just on plain or glossy paper, but then you'll need a protection plastic for it...

I don't know, I thought about the credit card size and made my design to look rather professional without the badge screeming "look here"...  I've made design in landscape but portrait is also possible?  I thought that such, not to big, badges would look great on the more formal wear we'll probably be wearing that night?


Anyway, just my thoughts   

I like your thoughts, I definetly want the plastic

[Dionesque]

Oh, Stijn, so the bedges you mean are not only credit card size but also look almost like a credit card because they are made of plastic?! Wow, cool! Somehow I missed on that, I thought you're talking about laminated items or on those kinda badges like you can see pinned on chests (paper-printed business card form labels slipped into a plastic transparent pin up).

Now I'm also for your version (plastic), even if would be smaller than the traditional VIP pass (like the one I posted a photo of).

I think smaller size won't be a big deal if we keep it short in terms of personal info displayed: just our first names, forum names and country.
The event name and date can be printed in smaller print, like you designed it on your project.

No fancy addictions like flags, avatars, photos of ourselves etc. and it will be just fine.

I agree  

[Bellamy]

I was just wondering if we could make PURE club play only or a lot Celine remixes in that day. It would be so cool. I just came back from a dance club today. There was no Celine song unfortunately.

[angelil78]

Yeah that would be fantastic! Sooooo much fun!!

[Alex_Incognito]

A nice dinner would be wonderful before the premiere of the show.  It would be nice to see many of you visage a visage!   The fan meeting in Montréal was splendid.  I made some excellent friends.

[nuts2you]

Is any thing planned for the next day the 16th for  a meet and greet. ? or are we just on our own, would be nice to also do this day as well for the one that couln"t attend the 15 th.. any thoughts..

[ThisTime]

I like the idea of dinner before the show!

And I'm gonna be there from the 12th and leaving sometime on the 16th, so anything on those days are in my time window!

[ladylindsey]

I think a majority of the forum fans going will be there for the first week or so Fans here fans there fans everywhere!

Fans on a plane!  On a train!! in a car! at a bar.  
Yea we're gonna be there from the 13th to the 17th.  So much to do

[Alex_Incognito]

We need to come up with a committee for this fan meeting. I worked with Tracy (shesings2me) on a Montréal fan meeting back during the TC tour and our meeting was splendid.  As I can tell, there are many devoted people here that are interested in putting this together.  Jane, for sure, Bralo, too.  Let's start brainstorming and putting this together certainly as far as:
a) Place and time  (obviously the day of the concert)
Hotel packages at Caesar's.  Wouldn't it be great having a floor of Céline fans?
c) Including everyone that wants to help.


This is going to be an exciting year for Celine fans.  It's a year away.  It will fly by!

Lots of fans are up on the Mezz levels too!

[ThisTime]

Yeah and maybe if we put together a whole me group of us at Caeser's (or somewhere near) they might cut us a good deal- hopefully anyways!
And I agree on putting together a committee for this! I've never been to vegas and have the organization skills of a two year old so I'll leave you guys in charge

We should do a big lunch brunch thing on the 16th for people who might have prior engagements the night before and who wouldn't be able to make it to dinner if there was a fan dinner on the 15th.

Oh a side note, I just realized I'll be turning 30 10 days after the opening, and here I was worried about what I would do for my 30th (that's a big one... )  Dirty 30th + Vegas + Celine + Sister + CELINE FANS = BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!  ;D

[ThisTime]

That would be the best 30th ever!

This is going to be an exciting year for Celine fans. It's a year away. It will fly by!

Tracy (Shesings2me), Kimbo and I are volunteering to be the overall co-ordinators !!

My suggestions of commitees and leaders:

Name Tags or Lanyards: Stijn (Bralo) and Jennifer

CF2 Projects: Vic, Bellamy, Salla

Award for Celine: Natazsa (Ennostiel) and Tracey (Nuts2you)

Hotel Bookings:  Me

Group Dinner: Tracy, Kim, Alex and I

Tours: Tracy, Kim, Alex and I

Do you accept the challenge?

Anyone want to join a committee?

Of course, this is for and by everyone attending, so keep these brilliant and amazing ideas coming !!!  

And Vic and Bellamy will, of course, have the final say as this is in the name of the forum.

Edited by Cheerfuljane, 14 February 2010 - 09:41 PM.

[Alex_Incognito]

I accept!  We're on! lol

[celinesbabeinchrist]

I know there are still sites selling tickets. I hope to get mine soon!! Then this will be me...   

[Cheerfuljane]

One more idea I thought of during AND, but never did, was to get EVERYONE together and take a large photo of us with the colosseum in the background.

And then to get the different country, state or continent groups together for a pic.

Thinking of when the best time to do it would be?
Maybe before brunch on the 16th?

You sure have quite the brilliance gene   I very much like that idea

[ThisTime]

I really like the idea of the photo at the Colosseum!
That could be a nice idea for the Welcome Back book they are doing!

[Bralo20]

Something else:

Depending on how much people are being their I think we should get the media involved to, just like in Montréal last year.  I'll contact some of the most visited Vegas sites during the next couple of months and at the start of next year we could start contacting the newspapers & TV stations to see if they are interested in the story.  I think it could be thougher then Montréal (since Montréal is Céline her hometown) but I think it should be possible, maybe the day before or the day after the premiere.

[Bralo20]

Another thing.

I know it's a bit early but maybe we can start making a list when everyone is arriving in Vegas, so we can work out a complete program for maybe a day or 3?

For example:




Day 1:

8:30AM: Meeting at place X (yet to be detirmed):  Small word of welcome by the organisation (Koolan or Bellamy, start working on a speech ), powerpoint presentation with the program, giving some details about it, handing over the badges and lanyards, Q & A, getting to known eachother.

10:00AM: Siteseeing trip (Rental cars (minivans) or if the group is to big: maybe a bus (or 2?)): possible stops: Céline's house, Hoover Dam / Lake Mead, Downtown Vegas, Area 51, ...), during the tour a quick stop for a small snack

04:00PM: Return in Vegas, going to our hotels, changing clothes

04:45PM: Photoshoot @ Caesars Palace

05h00PM: Dinner @ ...

07:30PM: PREMIERE

10:00PM: Meeting @ PURE (Unfortunately +21 only)


Day 2:

Sleeping late

12:30PM: Lunch @ ...

...

07:30PM: 2nd show

...

Day 3:

...


Forgive my lack on inspiration, it's monday after all

Yep, I was taking about real plastic cards, credit card size (83,60mm (Length) x 53,98mm (Height) x 0,7mm (Width)) with a hole in them to wear on a lanyard.

About just before dinner on the day of the premiere.  Everyone is going to be dressed up then, and if we can get the media involved they can also take pics of the whole group
