I'm going!!!! plus 5 of my friends so far.......it's only 3-4 hours from me so I have no excuse.
I only found out about it this week.......it's been the works awhile I guess. June 4th-7th.
Hopefully some of the cast will show. Either way should be a fun celebration with lots of Goonies fans!
check the Astoria, Oregon homepage for details.........Will I see any of you there?

money is no problem but getting the time off work is. Are you going Logan??
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
I didn't have anyone to go with, and money is tight. I want to.
Posted by Earl Keese (Member # 7986) on :
That would be absolutely brilliant and you will have to tell us how it was Muffy and post pics of the sites!
I wanted to go to the Jaws festival at Martha's Vineyard, but found out about it several years after it happened!
I am just going to have to organize some good Chicago based Anniversary Events...let's see...The Blues Brothers, Adventures in Babysitting, Just about any John Hughes movie! Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
A 'Hughesfest' would be a great idea. I'm surprised nobody's done it yet!
Posted by sheena (Member # 5620) on :
OMG, that is so cool. I would love to go, but just like oneeyedwilly and logan I will not get enough time off work, as well monitary restraints. also with this ash cloud problem in the UK at the moment, we are stuck:-(
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
The ash cloud will be gone by June. Time really isn't an issue for me.
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :

I wish I could go it sounds so good
Posted by pork pie mcfly (Member # 6802) on :
Sounds great...wish I could go but if I spend the savings on going instead of a new bathroom suite, I think my wife would ask for a divorce when I got home...Ha Ha.
Still...very tempting.
