I've just learned of a late addition to the proceedings at GSC Five.  They're planning a roundtable of game show announcers, which has actually morphed into an announcers/hosts combination.  Jack Narz, Burton Richardson, Sarah Purcell and Larry Anderson are confirmed, and there may be one or two other big additions.

If they can confirm Lee Menning as one of the participants, then I'll make every effort to make it to Burbank!!  ;-P

We have our plane tickets and hotel reservations all set. Erika and I will be there in attendance this year, our 3rd GSC.

We look forward to meeting you guys, as we get closer maybe we can arrange an Invision group meet. :-)

There will be plenty of opportunities, probably the entire weekend.  It was good catching up with ATGSers I hadn't heard from in half a decade or longer as well.

Glad the 50 won out.  :)

Can't believe we're a month away.

Let me know if you do. At the moment I have no plans to attend, but my non-plans would change for an Invision get-together.

if any members of this forum want to walk over and have a meal with me at the fabulous Yahoo! Burbank commissary, that could probably be arranged.
Deal. Drop me an email.

Yesterday, the 50 didn't win out.  24 hours later, it has.  It's amazing what getting a 3-week teaching job can do to one's travel plans.  This autograph convention at the Burbank Hilton the same weekend also influenced my decision.  Going to another convention during Congreffive--blasphemous or not blasphemous?

Now that is certainly a bonus. I used to collect autographs and still have a decent collection. I may have to double dip on the convention also. :-)

Is Paul doing likewise?  If so, then I don't see why some of the celebs who have been on game shows over the years (Debbie Reynolds, Ronnie Schell, Connie Hines, Ken Osmond, Frank Bank, others) might not stop over.

If you can ixnay with the Big Wheel "boop-boop-boop" sounds, who knows? Eubanks might pop in.

Don't think it's a word?

I don't know the specifics, but yes, both groups are aware of the other and are hoping to do some cross-pollination while we take up the same facility that weekend.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.
