Ok, I'm going to put something out here just as an idea. IF we decide to go forward on it, it's going to require some prior planning and COMMITMANT from people, two traits not particularly in abundance around here.A good friend of mine works for Vegas.com. In fact, she's the Director of Travel Services for that company. Meaning that she basically negotiates with casinos for good room rates for a living. Depending on how many people really, seriously plan on attending, I might be able to ask to check around and see what kind of group rate she could get us. You'd all be staying at the same hotel, but since there'd be more of you there, plus her connections, you might wind up in a nicer place for your money.
I'm promising nothing yet, but depending on how serious folks are about coming here, something might be arranged.
Depending on who goes. And the date. I am dead serious.
Last week of june, perhaps?

Anyways, if anyone has any concerns, PM, etc.

It seems we need to work around Connecticon and E3 and that's about it. So what dates are these and we'll try to go for one weekend afterwards.
We're doing a lot of catering to individual schedules, because we want a lot of people here.
If we can get 60% of the EC population (or the cool 25%), we'll consider it a success.

I have to pay for the plane ticket to E3. That costs money
I'd have to pay for a plane ticket to Vegas. That also costs money. So does a hotel room. So does potentially going out to dinner, or doing other fun stuff in the area with everyone else.
With the trips close together, there may not be enough time to make enough money for both trips.
And I'm from North Carolina.
quote:
Falaanla Marr probably says this to all the girls:
And I'm from North Carolina.
LIES ALL LIES
And I'd happily go, if I somehow suddenly get a large enough influx of cash to pay for plane tickets and food, and whatever else we're going to do.
Seeing how, however, I am a dirt poor college student with no job, that's pretty damned unlikely.
But if I win the lotto, then SURE. 
So this is your chance to "Hang with Baj!"
I turn 24 on June 5th. Meaning my birthday and the immediate day after, I will be unable to attend anything. June 7th and up, is good for me!
I will be driving down, so I will be available to help a bit with transportation. I do not have a large car, though, so when I say 'a bit', I mean 'a bit'. Callalron has a truck, however, so I say we just dump a load of you guys in the back and drive around. Since it's vegas, and we need gambling, we'll toss in some old rusty tools - There'll be a 50% chance you get impaled, get Tetanus, and die!
I will also be getting a hotel room, so I MIGHT be willing to share a room with one of you, depending on whom needs it. I might dislike you intensely and refuse! Or you might be cool, and I will agree. Or you might be female, and I will agree, and stare at you creepily all night long while you sleep.

And I now will NEVER EVER EVER share a room with you.
Not that I was comfy doing that, anyway.
You know, all the girls could share a room.... Unless it's just me and Addy, at this point.
Assuming I get the cash, anyway. I'll try and scrape and save, but..

Post more.
Erm... when I have things to post about, perhaps I will!
It's just I don't see the boards being interested in Harry Potter fanfiction and RPGS, historical reenactment, and knitting.
I'm too poor to buy video games, right now.
I'll share a room with Gikk and up to two other people, preferably wimmin because I'm SHY, if it's a standard two bed hotel room.
Are you AIM, hun? I can chitterchat there.

Yes ma'am.
If you'd like to share a hotel room, say so in this thread.
If you're getting a hotel room that you wouldn't mind sharing, say so.
Unless you make other arrangements with people, I'll assign roommates based on how well I know you. This is so we can avoid mistakes like putting child molestors and underage girls in the same room or putting Khyron with anyone.
Unfortunately I'm neither a gambler nor a drinker. My interest is not in the place, but in meeting everyone and hanging out. I've seen most of the sights (sites?) already, though I wouldn't mind taking in a show or two. Plus we'll probably have gathering-specific activities other than gambling and drinking(anyone brainstorm this yet?).
In case the subject hasn't come up, here's a few ideas for things to do:
As for sharing a room, I might be willing to split with one other person (separate beds). Being as I'm a bit obsessive about certain things, I'd need to talk extensively beforehand with whomever I would need to trust with access to my stuff. `Doc fucked around with this message on 09-14-2004 at 03:22 PM.
I'm very selective about who I'd share with
quote:
`Doc's fortune cookie read:
Barring the (unlikely) event that I lose my job, I should have enough saved up by then to afford a vacation. It means no other trips before then, but I've been out to Vegas before, and figured I'd rent a car this time around (unless enough people have cars, in which case I'll get maps and navigate). With enough advanced notice, I should be able to make whatever date youall settle on. I just have to book vacation time before my boss does.Unfortunately I'm neither a gambler nor a drinker.

In case the subject hasn't come up, here's a few ideas for things to do:
Laser tag tournament (or paintball day if we can obtain equipment) Out-of-county NC17 entertainment (I'm sure you all know what that is) RPG night Group gambling trek (a Vegas standard, I'm sure) Touring the Strip, and the Fremont Street light show Caravan drive to the middle of nowhere (get group photos in front of endless desert, with mountains in the background) Hoover Dam tour (is it a god dam?) Take in a show (standup comedy or vegas specialty) as a group. As for sharing a room, I might be willing to split with one other person (separate beds). Being as I'm a bit obsessive about certain things, I'd need to talk extensively beforehand with whomever I would need to trust with access to my stuff.
The caravan to the middle of nowhere is, sadly, too creepy for me. There are some people in EC I wouldn't want to be alone with, even if it would be with the rest of EC. And the middle of the desert is too 'How to Hide a Body 101' for me.
I've found a viable option to get the money, and if it works out, I'll be going. The only afteraffects is if I see a vacuum cleaner, I may muder it, but I can live with that.

I'd be fine with sharing a hotel room.
Time to start saving like mad...
Tenatively. Very tenatively. I don't really know where I'm going to be living next summer yet, so...it's all sorta up in the air.
