Still hoping to go ....I received wonderful personal invitation from CPAC for this year's event after attending 2003 TOTW 
Just have to finalise leave / absence from work as travelling thousands of miles from UK to LA needs more than a short weekend visit ....a week in warm California would be ideal after another Winter ....
Who else is definitely attending TOTW ....we will have to try and meet up in advance or on Sunday after event

Andrew -you can try to walk over -but usually there are numerous fans / associates with Richard as these live performances are rare events these days
Must ask Richard whether there are possible plans for some Christmas concerts to support forthcoming Christmas album ....ideally not just LA ....but New York , Baltimore , New Haven etc and of course LONDON

Could not resist ..... 
Obtained Ticket for TOTW 2 ...sorted out best flight price and agreed leave from work .....
Having enjoyed TOTW 2003 -have a feeling this will be even better
See on CPAC invitation ...music performance by Richard Carpenter and Friends .....
Wonder if several guest artists featured on Richard's long delayed album will perform new songs or some other surprise guests
Would love to meet up with John Bettis , Joe Osborn ( again) and other Carpenters associates .....
Roll on USA vacation and CPAC 20/3 Event

Peter, I'm so very happy for you that you'll get a chance to go again this year! You'll have to tell us all about it when you get back.
Wouldn't it be lovely if Richard DID do some Christmas concerts to promote his new album, which, hopefully, will be released THIS year!! Right here in NJ we have a fairly new center for the performing arts in Newark. Chances of this happening are next to nothing, I know, but I, too, can dream!! The 20th is coming up fast!!
Have a great day everyone.

Marilyn -will have to find out from Richard -current status for his Solo album and other plans for 2004
Would be great for Richard to perform outside LA this fall / autumn in support of new set in New York , New Haven, Baltimore and at long last LONDON ....(promised since 1985 !)
Ideally Richard could consider a longer tour of USA , probably Japan and other countries in 2005 with guest orchestras / support performers

On the XM broadcast, Richard said he was working on a Christmas album, but did make it clear he would release it when he was good and ready, meaning this year, next year...whenever. IIRC, he mentioned tha he still wanted to record another batch of songs so he'd have enough to pick from to make the complete album. (Knowing his perfectionism, I feel *anything* he records would be good enough to release! )

Wow 4 more days.....After seeing Richard on the recent updated PBS special, makes me wish I was going.
Randy, will you be taking pictures like you did that other year you went & showed us the pictures on your website? I hope so.
Also can you provide the link to the other years, Top of the World when you took pics of Richard & the exhibits. I'd like to see those again.
Thanks

Chris,
I will not be attending TOTW this year. I just recently visited Los Angeles while attending a friend's wedding and cannot afford to make the trip again after only a few weeks. I also moved this past summer and have a second child on the way so there are lots of other things needing my attention lately. I hate to know I am missing it, but I'll survive, I suppose! Hopefully some other attendees will share their photos with us!
My pictures from previous events were on a (then-free) photo sharing site that is no longer online. I don't know if I still have them in digital format. I will do some checking. I am sorry they aren't up and ready for viewing!
