Subject: Real Life Meeting?

Written By: ADH13 on 08/20/05 at 5:08 pm



I was thinking maybe a couple years down the road it would be fun to plan some sort of event in real life... like maybe in NY or Las Vegas... for those of us who are still around the boards...

i was just curious how many of you guys would actually consider packing your suitcases, taking time off of work and travelling in order to meet the people we talk to so many hours a day online? ???

If it was gonna be a weekend in vegas or something, i probably would... but i wouldn't travel too far just for a dinner or something that was only gonna be a couple hours

I've been pondering something like that for a while... 8)

But I'd have to figure out my travel arrangements...and figure out when I'd have time in my busy schedule :-\\

For obvious reasons, the logistics of tying in with a number of other board people would, for me, be 'somewhat difficult'  :o

Well, I am going to do just that in September with members of another board so I would be more than willing.  Like you said, though, it has to be for more than just a couple of hours otherwise it isn't worth the travel expense.  Unless SLC, UT is the meeting place. ;)

You'd have it pretty easy if it was in Vegas, Jeff.. I think you're one of the closest members to Las Vegas... it'd be a 10-12 hour drive for me.. since i dont like to fly.

Well, I've never been to Vegas before (or anywhere in the state of Nevada for that matter). I could figure out how to get there pretty easily, since I'm good at navigating.

Sounds like a fun idea - especially for, say the Summer or Christmas break when people tend to be less busy.

Ironically I've been going on the Internet and message boards for 7 years and I've yet to actually ever meet any of my online friends (I've pledged to some of them that I'll try and change that before 2010 though!). ;)

The only problem is geographical locations -- we've got people all over the USA and even the world, so of course not everyone would be able to show up. Then there's people like me who don't have a car (AND I'm broke, LOL!), so it would be harder for me to up and take a trip halfway across the country, for instance.

PS: I tell ya, we need not only a time machine, but a warping device like in Star Trek - it would make travelling alot easier! ;D

Subject: Re: Real Life Meeting?

Written By: ultraviolet52 on 08/20/05 at 8:47 pm

I would consider it. If it's in Las Vegas that would sure be nifty! Let's just not go to Vegas between May-August, we'll feel like we're melting in the 120+ heat. I've been to Las Vegas twice (driven and flown), so I know the city fairly well. It's probably about a 9 hour drive to Vegas for me.

Hehe, good point!

I was also thinking, maybe a smaller series of more localized get-togethers would be cool and also easier to do? Say something in California (that's where I'm from so I had to mention it!) then something for people on the east coast, etc.

Plus, I think a series of shorter meetings would be cooler than just one big one.

That's a good Point, Marty. You and I are only like 40 minutes away!! Crazy! Sometimes it feels like when we're all talking on this message board as if we're all in the same place and not different countries/coasts, when in actuality some of us are really close to one another!

I would actually prefer one big one...  I doubt it would ever happen anyway, I was just thinking hypothetically... cause I think it would be awesome if it ever did... :)  I'm actually surprised to see this many positive responses... I figured most people wouldn't want to go through the hassle...

The reason I suggest next year at the earliest is that i have my Fall semester coming up (in fact, it starts next week!), and I feel it's very important that I attend my classes...and my semester will be done the middle of December. After that I gotta do my holiday shopping and stuff... things generally get crazy for everyone around that time anyway. Which leaves 2006 at the earliest. :-\\

Don't worry dude, I'm almost 24 and I still consult mine - they're easygoing but I still tend to tell them where I'm going and all.

I might not be "specific" specific until I get back, though (not to worry 'cause I'm a pretty good boy)! ;D

Usually if I just say I'm "going out" and when-abouts I'll be back, it's fine with them. They've never been the type to probe and stuff.

PS: Howard, if ever you do make it to a gathering (if we have one) I think you'd be a pretty cool guy to hang around with. As would Andrea, Mark, Ultraviolet, Bobby and pretty much everyone that's already posted here. :)

I did the same thing with my parents before I went to Romania, I told them a month before, mom said we are always the last ones to know your plans, I was thinking, hmmm I can tell her 6 months early and hear her nag for 6 months or I can tell her one month early and hear her nag for only one month   ::)

That sounds like a better time to me too. :)

I'm not exactly rich right now (but that could change in a year - I hope it does, LOL!) yet I think the second half of 2006 or early 2007 is cool. Vegas isn't too far away from here either, yet considering the people who might come from across the country or the world, that sounds about perfect.

In the eys of the US Government.. i don't think i am. When i studied my Financial Aid documents.. it turns out i answer to nobody.

However.. I am petitioning the Judge to actually allow my Uncle Custody over me so i can go on his health insurance.

Going back a step  ;D

Wouldn't worry about it, English Drivers License and strong accent = Chips  ;D


I think you'd be better having you Uncle have custody, the insurance is a big thing.  If you are an emancipated juvenile you do not have all the rights of an adult, i.e. voting, drinking, casinos.  It just means your parents are no longer legally responsible for you.

That sounds good... maybe we can help co-ordinate the people who live in our own areas to work out carpools, flights, etc.  But the first thing we need to figure out is when and where.  My vote is for Vegas as a location... i really don't care when though..  i'm pretty flexible.

I really like New York New York Hotel Casino for shows, their bars (they have the Coyote Ugly bar) and they have a bar with dueling pianos that play lots of 70's & 80's stuff with the whole crowd singing along. 

www.nynyhotelcasino.com

Stratosphere is cool too, it is known for its crazy thrill rides... not too sure about the shows, but they have a cool "revolving restaurant" up on top of the tower and you can see the whole city lit up.

And if people are planning to bring their children, we might want to consider Circus Circus.. definitely the most "kid friendly".

MGM Grand wouldn't be bad either.  Not only is it good for it's central location, but it's the biggest hotel on the strip with over 5,000 rooms, Studio 54 and lots of shows.  It's also right next to the monorail.

What I think we should do is have a poll as to where: First what city: Vegas, NYC, Chicago, etc. I would suggest keeping the poll open for about week-so that way most people will get a chance to vote. Then we should have a poll about time frame: What month. Then when we have the place and month laid down, then we should vote on where in that city. I think we will HAVE to keep with whatever the majority votes for. Does that sound like a plan?

The only thing that makes me a little hesitant about someplace like Chicago is that alot of times when things are planned, alot of people back out at the last minute or don't show up... and I'm afraid that people might realize this and then become unsure of going themselves, thinking "What if the others don't go"...   I like the idea of Vegas because like I said earlier, even if nobody showed up but me, I'd still have fun... so it wouldn't be a wasted trip..

Don't worry dude, I'm almost 24 and I still consult mine - they're easygoing but I still tend to tell them where I'm going and all.

I might not be "specific" specific until I get back, though (not to worry 'cause I'm a pretty good boy)! ;D

Usually if I just say I'm "going out" and when-abouts I'll be back, it's fine with them. They've never been the type to probe and stuff.

PS: Howard, if ever you do make it to a gathering (if we have one) I think you'd be a pretty cool guy to hang around with. As would Andrea, Mark, Ultraviolet, Bobby and pretty much everyone that's already posted here. :)

It's okay...the only wrestling I've ever watched is that depicted in TV sitcoms, like "Saved By The Bell." There was one episode where a girl wanted to join the wrestling team, but the coach and Belding wouldn't let her at first. Then she finally got on (and became Zack's love interest) and later defeated Valley's champ.

Yeah, I can't believe in two weeks we'll be closer to 2010 than to 2001, hehe.

Anyway, I'm still totally up for it. Although the closer it is, the more likely (if it's in Vegas, it's at least a 50/50 shot. I can't promise for New York or anything like that, however).

Timewise, probably mid 06 at the absolute earliest.

I am slightly richer than my younger self (the one who posted here before), though. :)

I'm down with Vegas, altho i've never ever been there before.

As for Vegas, I pretty much agreed 'cause it seems like the popular choice and would be a little more central than, say New York. But I kinda agree, it's not really my thing either.

Even though I think I'm pretty cool with everyone and like to hang out and all, I honestly have to admit I'm not much of a drinker/partyer/gambler-type. Not to mention I've never used a slot machine in my life, so I'm not sure what I could do on my own in Vegas.

Anyway, point being, I'm kinda reverting back to my initial idea that various, smaller get-togethers at different places in the country (and even the world) would be the way to go. Maybe a few smaller ones, then one "big" event -- with alot of time for everyone to plan, say around 2008-10??

P.S. I'm totally up for anything in the Bay Area (but then again, it wouldn't be fair to make the New Yorkers come 3000 miles, lol). ;)

Yep. Sounds like a good idea about the small get-togethers. Hopefully we'll all still be around the boards three years from now so that we can do this.

About drinking/partying/gambling, I don't do much (if any) of that stuff either. I've never even been inside a casino, either....except for the Chumash casino in Santa Ynez, which is over 100 miles west of L.A. I went in there with my family just to look around and see what was there.

you muthafudgers! it's obvious!

we should all meet in scandanavia, where everything is legal!

and there's lots of bizarre dark metal for la roche (and me too, because i also like that stuff)

and also, i'm sure, boocoo 70s softrock abba ripoffs. because if there's anything i like more than death metal, it's 70s soft rock.

and did i mention everything's legal?

whatever. i trust this matter is resolved now.


Scandinavia sounds like the right place to go, and even I could make it to, say Sweden.
Warning though: booze is prohibitively expensive! :o

It will be totally impossible for all of us to be all in one place at the same time (and who would be manning the board at that time?  :-\\) No matter where we decide to have it, there will be people who can't make it. My suggestion is to have a bunch of mini-meetings-1 in England/Europe, 1 on the west coast, 1 on the east coast and 1 down under (but not limited to just these-we could have more). I don't think we should make them all at the same time because there may be a few people who will be able to make it to more than one.

That's nice. :) For the record, in 1992 we only flew one way to San Diego. We drove back to Los Angeles in a rental car.

The only time I've ever been in an airplane was over Memorial Day in 2001.  I had to have 2 Valium just to get in the plane, and that was BEFORE 9/11.

Whew, that was SO close to that time. It probably makes ya wonder sometimes... When I first flew (and I flew by myself for the 1st time), the SARS thing was going on - so that had me a little worried. I almost brought a face mask for protection  ;D



I was in near hysterics on the way to the airport.  I was hyperventilating, I was sick to my stomach, my legs were shaking......the whole train ride there I kept thinking "we're all going to die and leave my dad alone...who's going to take care of our cat?"


I will never go through that again unless it's absolutely, positively, undeniably necessary.

Wow! I'm the total opposite, I love to fly.

Far as I can remember I think I've flown about 16 times.. maybe more, not sure.

I know I have enough air miles for free flights with 3 different airlines. (I'm saving them on AA to go to Russia and UA to go back to Buenos Aries.)

Oh, I also flew on September 11th 2002.  ;D

I've always had my worries, but for some reason once the jets start going and we start to go - it feels like an amusement park ride and I actually get quite a thrill out of it.




I was passed out in my seat the whole way down here.  I took two Valiums and knocked myself out.  I remember putting my seat belt on and I remember my mom telling me we landed.  Same thing on the trip back home.

That's cool you got to fly when you were still pretty young. I first flew when I was 21 years old.

I guess I didn't take the liberty of sleeping or taking a pill like valium to calm my nerves because I was going alone the first two times I flew and I wasn't going to be with anyone I knew to wake me up. I needed to guard my stuff and myself. I have never fallen asleep on any of my flights.

But, taking a valium sure would be nice on a long flight!  ;D



If I hadn't taken the Valium, I would have had a stroke.

Gotcha beat  ;)

I flew on December the 1st when I was just over 4 months old, having been born on July the 27th.

I wonder if a baby that young would even be allowed on a plane now?

That flight was from London to Chicago. On the way back it was Chicago - Amsterdam - London.

I know you're not a fan.. but 8-9 glasses of neat scotch would remove the urge to scream, I swear.


Wow, that is very young!!  :D

I flew with my daughter when she was 6 months old...we went from Honolulu to San Francisco to Reno, and then the same routing back...

Because she was so young, she sat on my lap and I didn't have to pay for a seat for her... :)

I, too do not fly well. The more and more I fly, the more and more I hate it. Unfortunately, my husband's sister and dad live in Puerto Rico and that is only way to get there.  :\'( :\'(  I find listening to music helps. One trip, George Harrison really helped me. I also find that a couple of drinks help, too.  ;) (Not to mention holding Carlos' hand-which I do). I do swallow my fear but I tried to avoid flying if I can. I also flew in April of 2001-before all the b.s. you have to go through now. Unfortunately, that trip I had to go alone and Carlos wasn't there to hold my hand.  :\'(  This year, we have decided not to go to PR so no flying this year (thank goodness).

I probably fly somewhere once or twice a year on average.  Love it.  There's a greater probability of me dying in an auto wreck than a plane crash.

I've met Asian and Nerdy, Jess and Mama K.  There's a few more I wouldn't mind meeting; some western location would be kinda cool.  8)

Another board I visit occasionally has had meets in a few different places, not always the same people.

Not at all. On the last leg of our trip, we went down highway 1 to San Luis Obispo, stayed the night, and drove home via Highway 101. :) My family and I are "ocean" people; that's why we like to drive on whatever highways go near it. 101 is probably more scenic than I-5 overall.

I think this would be a heckuvan undertaking, but if we could pull it off, why not make a weekend of it?

For those who live in the California/Nevada area, I live 1 1/2 hrs. or so north of Sacramento.
I don't see how it would be that difficult to establish a weekend convention, if you will.

However, I DO see a few details to be worked on:

-Confirmation of who the members are, and how to assure no "extra" intruders get in
-What sort of facility this would require
-Foods to serve, activities planned, etc.
-How the weekend arrangements would be handled...

With proper planning, I don't see how this wouldn't work!
(Unless it was from lack of proper interest.)

Ok, I have said this before, I will say it again. Why not have MORE THAN ONE?? We can have one of the west coast, one on the east coast, one in the UK, one down under, etc. etc. There may be a few people who can possibly make it to more than one so my suggestion is to have them at different times. Or we could have an annual one and each year have it in a different place. It would be totally impossible for all of us to get together all at the same time in the same place. I think my idea is a good compromise.

In May 1992 we went up to San Jose and drove to Monterey; this was during the Memorial Day Weekend.

In June 1994 we took a two-week vacation to the Midwest, flying to and from Chicago.

In May 2002 (during Memorial Day week), we traveled to Minneapolis; my dad had to be there for a work-related convention, so we went with him. :)


I've been on a plane tons of times - my parents and I commonly took vacations in my first 7 years (either to Florida, where most of the extended family lives, or Hawaii). So I'm used to it, but I can see how it would be frightening to some people. Especially if they'd never done it before.

I now feel that way about any roller coaster that goes upside down (;D), but when I was 4, I could've cared less. When you're older, you do realize there's things to worry about. Not that they will go wrong -- they probably won't -- but it's just you know there's the potential that they could.

When I was little, I felt similarly about upside down roller coasters. I still don't like 'em...and I still have no desire to ever ride on one. Last year when I took a physics course, I found out why they can stay upside down; it has to do with centrifugal force (if the coaster is going too slow around the loop, it could fall off the track). Still, the thought of going upside down frightens me. :o :o

I typed a longish reply earlier but the site crapped out on me and I couldn't post it.  Hope that doesn't happen this time.

To those of you who have said that you are too frightened to fly you might consider doing what I did.  I went on a 'Flying With Confidence' course at my local airport.  I wouldn't say that I love flying now but I certainly don't mind it.  I had my nerve tested on holiday this year when we flew in a 19 seater.  Hubby had told me it would be about a 50 seater not this tiny little thing.

On the course, which I did about 7 years ago, we had talks from a pilot, a doctor and a flight safety inspector.  They gave various presentations about flying aircraft safety and what have you.  Then we had a chance to meet separately with them if we wanted to.  We also did some breathing exercises and the like to calm people down.  In the afternoon we did a short flight.  The pilot sat with us and talked through everything that was happening, all the noises and wing flap movements etc.  The doctor was on board and lots of flight attendants, about 1 to every 3 passengers, to hold hands and talk you through everything.  We got a chance to look around the flight deck as well.  There was a video to take away afterwards.


No matter what your problem is I think a course like this would be able to help.

Ok. We seem to have two different meetings that people say they want to see happen-one in California and one in NY. Now, we just need dates-and my advice that they not be too close to each other because there may be a few people who might be able to attend both. Also, if we can someone who is close to those areas check out facilities, how much it would cost, etc, etc. that would be great. Another idea, I know NYC is VERY expensive. Why not someplace close to NYC-either in NJ, or L.I. or Westchester County. I think expensives may be cheaper in those places.

I would say...at least give it a year...so that people could save up some money...get time off of work...etc..

A few pages ago, someone suggested giving it at least two years so that we could do all that. ;) '07 seems a little too soon for me.

That is what I was thinking of. But I don't want to do anything if people are not interested. Like I said before, I don't want to plan a party where no one comes (been there, done that.  :\'( ). If people are interested in something for next summer, I think plans need to be made NOW. First we need to know WHERE and WHEN. I think we need at least 5-10 people who are willing to be there for us to start making plans. If we plan early, we can get discounts-and yes, I am well aware that $$ is the concern of a lot of people. That is why we need to get someplace that is not going to break people (that is why I think NYC would not be a good place-because it is too d@mn expensive-sorry to the people who live in NYC).

They help you get onto the plane and sit there.  You could then get off again if you can't cope.  I think one of the guys on my course did that.

For the next couple of flights afterwards I took something the doc gave me but it left me light-headed so I stopped.

There seems to be enough of us on board for trying to pull something together for next summer. Now we just need to decide where and exactly when.

I wouldn't mind Canada either. Haven't been there is years. But like I said, I think we should narrow it down WHERE in Canada. It is a big place. Montreal? Toronto? Ottawa?

I would like to go from here (Pa) to California. I have never been out west...at all.  There are so many neat roadside attractions and whatnot along that route....it would be so cool to just take my time and go exploring and stuff.

I totally wish I could...there are so many of you from California that I would LOVE to meet.  Hopefully someday we will be able to have a meeting that is more centrally located for the majority of the members, so that the east and west could somehow meet in the middle.


Yeah.  Somewhere in the middle.  Like my house -- in Colorado  8)

Just curious, who'd be easily able to make a California meeting (specifically, and hopefully, the Bay Area) if one of the mini meets was held there?



We MAY be able to. Carlos' oldest daughter lives in southern Cal and he is talking about talking a trip out that way. Whether he is willing to drive further north, I don't know.

Sounds like we got a winner-Philly. Now to decide on the weekend.  :-\\  I think once decide on when, we can decide on what motel/area. I know there are some motels that have group rates. If we all book into the same motel, we may be able to get a discount.


As for when:  I suggest after Memorial Day weekend. It would be pretty cool to spend the 4th of July in Philly but I think that may be a bit too much (I'm sure things may be booked and prices go up). So why don't we narrow it down to month first:
June
July
August.


Which one do people prefer?

Well, it looks like sometime in the next few weeks my dad who is painting contractor will get a contract from the government to paint apartments in Biloxi, MS that were damaged by Katrina. Its a 2 year contract and it'll pay $900 an apartment, and we'll be doing 2 or 3 a day because its going to be easy spray work, no brush work, no rolling, easy stuff. That will be 6 days a week. My dad told me he'll pay me $100 a day. So needless to say my money situation should be changing drastically in the next 1-2 months.

Exactly.

When you work in any of the building/maintenance trades you see where all our tax money goes. Over-inflated contracts. I'm not complaining (and neither should you  ;)) because the few grand we pay in tax pales in comparison to the extra money the government sends our way.

Bar/lounge
25 miles from airport

Philadelphia Days Inn:
$80-$170.67      3 Star

You can get a jacuzzi in your room.  ;D ;D


America's Best Inns:

What I was thinking, having a party say on Sat. (either during the day or in the evening) which is why I mentioned motels with a meeting/banquet room. Of course we would have to figure out about having it catered. (Maybe the motel we pick could do that but I'm sure it will be at an extra cost  :-\\ ) I also mentioned about motels that have bar/lounge. Whether they have karaoke too is anyone's guess. I was also looking for motels with pools because I think that is something else that we can do. These are some of the ideas that I have. I would like a little more input about other ideas that people have.

Well, it's in June.

I suggest we find a nice park, get a couple of them throw away BBQ's (Or just some cold cuts, buns etc) a bunch of coolers, maybe some of those cheap ass lawn chairs, or find a park with some big picnic benches. I doubt that's too hard to find.

Maybe if we haven't decided by the time I get back there I'll take a wander down and have a look around, I'm always looking for excuses to go on the train, I could take Pete down there as well, make a day of things.

You're down with the park idea right?



The park idea is great-but which park? Also we can't sleep in the park so we will need a hotel. Unless everyone choose whatever hotel they want and then meet in the park-but I think it would be more fun if we all stayed at the same hotel.

Yeah, I think it would be fun to a certain degree, but you're right. We could all meet up, swap numbers and then work out what we want to do. I dare say we'll form out own groups as well, much as I'm eagre to meet all of you guys, it's not actually possible to hang out with 20 different people at the same time.

There are a few people who quite obviously do not get along.

I, for one, would not like to see a gathering ruined or potentially ruined because a few people insist on rankling others.

I say this, because I have been to too many functions that were bombed on, because someone who didn't get along with someone else decided to use the gathering as a forum to sh*t on someone they didn't care for.

This is not meant to cause or stir the pot, but rather to prevent something happening.

Ok...so Kkay and I were talking today about starting a committee to help plan our little shindig in the east.  We were saying that it would be cool to rent a place where we could hang out, eat good food, drink good drinks, etc.  Something like a hall, a pavilion, or similar to that matter.  So far....I think this is what everyone was tossing around:


the meeting will take place in Philly
It will be in or around the beginning of July
Everyone will make their own hotel reservations at their hotel of choice (I will do some research and give you guys a list of hotels/prices/etc)


I know pavilions are usually cheap to rent, but we probably need to reserve one sometime soon. We need to find out exactly who is seriously interested in attending...and then go from there.

I know the last time we tried to vote about certain things (a place to meet, a month to meet, etc)...and that didn't work out so well...so perhaps we should just leave that stuff up to the committee? what do you guys think?  We are open to suggestions.  As soon as we figure out an exact weekend...and we find some potential places to reserve for our gathering.....then we can let everyone know how much they will need to submit toward the rental fee, etc.

I think the last time we discussed this it was June 22nd. We were planning to be there BUT, now I'm not so sure because my niece is graduating college and my nephew is graduating high school. My dad has it in his mind about having a big family party-but I'm not too sure how other family members feel about this. So, that may or may not happen. Since the plans for the family gathering are up in the air (with no definately plans IF it will happen at all), I can't give a percise date of when we will be available.

It just may be that mid-July might be better because I don't know how many others have graduations to attend in June. I once talked to gemini about it but her daughter is graduating from high school and she doesn't know the date.

Suggestion.  Since we were planning on Philadelphia, but there is talk of the heat in July, which would definitely rule out Savannah, how about a place close to the water, not all that far from Philly(in the scheme of things) that could be family friendly for those wanting to bring the kids.  A weekend here could be good, and anyone wanting to turn it into a real vacation would have plenty to do with things to spare.  Something for absolutely everyone.

Maybe we can get a consensus on this.  I haven't been there but have heard all kinds of stories.  It is great for kids, great for adults, great for families, great for singles, and not that far from the original idea of Philly.  If we could do it on a weekend it could be a little vacation for some of us, even if no one else showed.

Average walking speed of about 4 miles per hour.

8 hours of sleep a day, 2 hours for water, washing, food etc.

That's 14 hours of walking a day, 14 x 4 = 56 miles per day.

5253/56 = 94 days.

Math say's you should be able to get there before July.

True, that is 5253 miles as the crow flys. So yes, I suppose you're probably looking at more like 6000 miles unless a bridge is built across the caribbean. But you can walk from New York to Argentina, it's land all the way.

i think vegas was up for a while, a long time ago, but last i saw the consensus was for philly.

i doubt i could make vegas so we might just have to have two.

Vegas is hella expensive.  Not to mention, the bulk of the people that would be attending this, live on the East Coast/Midwest, so Philly is more accessible.

Vegas would actually be cheaper because you can get room deals or stay in the cheaper hotels.  Plus food is cheap and you could hang out anywhere and for as long as you want and everything is within walking distance.  The biggest problem for the east coast people would be the travel expense and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to pay that.

we stay at the Lodge on Pioneer Trail. you guys should get a room there, or across the street at the Americana, but you probably want a more luxurious accomodation and should stay at the Embassy Suites. The Horizon casino hotel has the best pool. I've stayed at harrahs, and Ceasars, but Ceasars is gone and now its MontBleu and I don't like it.

Are you serious about Ceasars?  Whoa!  We stayed there awhile back.  I remember telling you they were filming that movie Smokin Aces when we stayed....that wasn't too long ago.  George is going to trip!  I'd like to try the Embassy Suites and it's a nice location.

not kidding. they Eff'd Ceasars up by changing ownership or something and now it's some French style classy joint that has no charm or appeal to me. Ceasars was cool. I remember you were there when they filmed that.

Can I make a suggestion for those of you who are planning the West Coast get together? Try not to make it the same time as the East Coast because there may be a few people who might actually be able to make it to both.

Ok, this is the last time I'm bumping this thread up. The last we decided, it was going to be in Philly sometime in July (we hadn't decided on a date) and everyone will pick their own hotel (if needed). So, in order for this work, we need to pin-point the date, and where/what we will be doing. If no one comes up with anything, that will tell me that this is NOT going to happen.

If Himself comes with me we are planning to go to New York for a few days as we will fly into JFK and he's never been before. I'm not sure exactly what my plans are yet but I will be in the U.S for at least a week.
