Subject: Real Life Meeting-Place Poll North America

Written By: CatwomanofV on 08/24/05 at 2:24 pm

I am leaving this up for two weeks to give everyone a chance to vote. I only put cities in North America. I don't mean to exclude our European/Australian friends, but I think there may be a problem of logistics involved-I'm sure you understand. I suggest having one in Europe and Australia also.

Why not met at the Hotel Pennsylvania which is one of the five biggest hotels in Manhattan and is situated in the heart of Midtown New York?

I chose Las Vegas.  This would be the best place because of the atmosphere.  Everything is centrally located, all the hotels/attractions are all on the same street, everything is in walking distance.  The food is cheap and the rooms aren't too expensive either.  I'm sure some people could even split a hotel room if they needed to.  Vegas is just a big party.  

New York and L.A. aren't well suited for this type of occasion.  Where would everybody hang out if you didn't rent a hall or something along the lines of that?  NY and LA are great cities for sight seeing, but not for a get together.

Written By: Marty McFly on 08/24/05 at 6:15 pm

Of all the choices selected, I went with Vegas -- partly 'cause it seems the popular choice, 'cause there's other stuff to do (unlike, say New York), and also it's not that far from me. :)

It's not set in stone yet, but I might be going to the DeLorean car show in Chicago in mid 2006 - friends and other people from the BTTF board (some of whom I've talked with since early 03 and have gotten really close with) will be there as probably will some BTTF celebs. If I take that one it's probably gonna cost me a bit, so I'll probably have to kinda be frugal for this one.

Of course, I wouldn't at all be opposed if someone decided on having it in, oh say, the San Francisco Bay Area ( 8) ), but you've gotta think of everyone else too.

Yeah...I see that one's in the lead right now. It is fairly close to California (in fact, the neighboring state); I would need to know how much it would cost to fly there from here, if we do indeed decide on that. I've never ever been there before, but I wouldn't mind checking it out. :)

I flew SWA with my family to the Midwest 11 years ago; I can't recall offhand how cheap they were. Of course, Vegas would most likely be cheaper since it's a shorter distance.

I'd rather fly. Renting a car, paying for gas (which will probably still be overpriced a year from now)...I dunno. :-\\

Besides, I did fly from Burbank to San Jose in May 1992; both cities are in California.

It's as low as $39 dollars each way right now from Burbank to Vegas.  It shouldn't go up too much more between now and 2006/2007.

What about between LAX and Vegas? I believe LAX is closer to Oxnard than Burbank is. Last time I traveled via airplane, three years ago, we went to Minneapolis from LAX; a shuttle service transported us to the airport and back via Pacific Coast Highway.

Of course I wouldn't put any protest up for having it in SF! :)

Amazingly, for all the 11 (including where I am now) places I've lived all throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento, I've never lived in San Francisco, but I've grown up around it so much that I'm pretty familar with it.

The closest was when we lived in Sausalito brlefly in late 1985/early '86 - I've gone over the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges tons of times too (my grandma and uncle used to live in Oakland, so most of the time it was when we visited them).

Anyway, before this turns into a "McFly history lesson 101" (which I tend to do alot, LOL) I'll say that I think the Golden Gate Park area of the city is nice - I'm more familar with that area. Although I agree there's some parts that I wouldn't wanna walk through, even in broad daylight.

I guess that's one reason I've always preferred suburbs (even though San Jose is actually a bigger city population-wise, the layout is much more suburban-ish and spread out).

I was there only once...14 years ago, at age 11. My family and I had driven up there after visiting the "Mystery Spot" in Santa Cruz. We visited Ghirardelli Square, drove down twisty Lombard Street, and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. It was exciting for me.


It's a great city.  I've spent quite a bit of time there myself.  :)

Yeah, Marty, San Francisco isn't a bad place really. I mean maybe because we live close to it we hear of various crimes more often, but every large city has them and I don't want people to get the wrong impression of San Francisco of being that way. Anyway, yeah, I have been to SF plenty of times myself and I have some great memories there. To be honest I have been to a couple spots that made me feel a little worrisome, but I would say it's a safer city than some would think. I once took Bart and then took a few buses down to the Legion of Honor with two friends of mine. We walked the "streets of San Francisco" alone and we actually didn't even feel all that scared or in danger (and believe me, I'm the first to sniff out danger if I feel it coming on).

Anyway, San Francisco wouldn't be a bad choice (although, I still am not going to drive the city just yet, lol)

On an off note, the only time I ever was in Vegas was back in '92 when my parents were on a trip there (mostly for business). I went with them, since it was summer and no one could watch me for a straight week.

so.....I was just talking to Trimac a little bit ago...and we were talking about still being interested in having an inthe00's real life meeting. Is this still something that everyone else might want to do?  I would totally be interested in it...if maybe it was like in 2 years or so (gives us time to save up).  Would it still be in Vegas....or somewhere else. Let's discuss this again and see if we can perhaps come up with some sort of plan...maybe get a committee going, etc. I will help out anyway I can. :)

Yeah...the thing is, we have alot of members who are too young/broke to afford travel. When considering a location, we'd have to take the world in account...including the UK and Australasian miembros.

I was thinking that too. We can have several scattered across the world but I don't think we should have them at the same time. That way if someone wants (and can) go to more than one, they don't have to chose which one.

lemme know how it turns out. i thought the philly thing was decided weeks ago.

it seems like if this keeps getting reopened, we'll never actually get it done. we were actually settling down on a date and an exact place to meet up, and now are we really going to start all over again? because i really don't think we should.

i say july, philly, like we decided. i just wanna make sure and reiterate we'd decided on that because i'm afraid things are going to start getting confused again.

har. the ceo keeps coming in and whenever the topic turns to dea stuff she starts making dope jokes. i'm not sure she needs to get clearance though. a bunch of the characters who work there need to get clearance but for the others... i dunno. i get the impression it's not party-free. i'm not sure they need to get tested.

whatever, i'm totally a hired hand and i can do whatever i want. they know it too. i think it's hilarious, i'm working for the dea!

but seriously, i learned some interesting stuff today i can't even tell anyone about. not DEA related cuz this gig isn't actually for the dea. but crazy stories about blackwater and... well, just nevermind.
