Honestly depends if I have the spare cash. I'm going be forking out a hell of a lot (upwards of £6,000.. so $10,000?) for the course I'm studying right now, which I'm getting zero help from my parents in, and plane tickets all the way to Vegas are hellishly expensive. I'd probably make a week of it and go stay with someone (Nae? Call?) for the rest of the time. I'm house trained.

Not to mention how scared shitless my family gets when I mention I'd like to visit the states on my own, I swear they're way too overprotective.

Count me in, preliminarily, next year is a ways away yet.

If they are willing to split costs, I would be willing to fly two people from the SF bay area or Southern California as long as you can get yourself to Fox Field in Lancaster or somewhere around there.

I saw lancaster, and was excited, until I saw south cali.

Anyway. As of this moment, I am planning as if I'm going. A solid date should be set as soon as we can manage it, this will make it easier for planning in terms of getting cheap tickets and the like.

I'd be willing to:

1. Share a room.
2. Share my room with other people who are willing to split costs if i was the one getting the room.
3. Drive one or two (1-2) other person from the San Diego area up to Vegas. Depending on the varying size/"need to have way too much shit on vacation" of the other passenger(s) and whether condition 5 was met.
4. Drive three (3) people aside from me around in Vegas as long as they would be willing to pitch in some gas cash.
5. Bring my computer and moniter up with me for LAN purposes if this sorta thing was going to be going on (this would bring the total amount of passengers i'd be willing to carry from San Diego to one (1) since i'd need one of the back seats for the comp and that would severely limit my carrying capacity for whatever shit other people wanted to bring).

One, two, and to a lesser extent 4 depend on if any Vegas people would be willing to put me up for the duration of the party. This issue might not be solved until Novemeber or January, so putting down absolute plans for myself in that regard would be foolhardy.

Also realise that if i drink any alchohol at all i'm not gonna drive for a few hours depending on the amount of consumption i do since i'm underage and i'll be damned if i get a DUI because my BAC is at .001 or something and this country has issues regarding people who are old enough to be adults but not old enough to drink a beer.

Given that my housing situation is shit, I can't put anyone up. But I can probably offer transportation for at least some of the stuff going on. My Van served well last time we had a Vegas gathering.

EDIT: Just bearing in mind that my transportation services end between 9:00 and 10:00 PM. 'Course, if my fiancee's moved out here by then, that'll probably change. I'll post any changes to that situation.

Well, depending on my money situation, I'm definately going to make an effort to come. I'd be willing to (and preferring to) share a hotel room and split the cost, or maybe shack up with a Vegas ECer like I have in the past. (Nae?)

EDIT: Seriously though, this is a great idea. I'd love to go. And I will, probably drag Kestar The Blue so if I get punched in the face he can punch me in the face as well.

Most likely going to get a hotel room, and be willing to share with ECers if need be. In fact, if I have to I will sleep on the floor so more ECers can stay in the room or whatever is need be.

But if anyone jerks off in the room, I am seriously going to beat the shit out of you. Don't ask.

Zair and I talked about it, he said that he'll probably be able to go, which leaves us to decide either a plane or car ride. But, we'll both be 20 by then, so no gambling/public drunkenness for us. Just FYI before we pick out stuff to do.

We could travel together, and probably come to some kind of financial arrangement concerning travel fees and whatnot. That's if I even go in the first place.

I'd really have to see. I may have to get a job in Leicester just to support myself anyway (student loan starts off small and gets bigger each semester, rent starts off astronomical and by the summer term is tiny) So i'd have to do some mad saving, but if my financial situation improves and I can cadge as much money as I can get my little hands on, then i might just be able to make it.

I will do everything I can to come along because by then I won't have had a proper holiday for three years. And who could turn down punching Ozi in the face?

EDIT! If I do manage to make it I've promised Nik that I will administer a Slap In The Face of the person of his choice. You have been warned.

To be fair, he is a lot less weird then he was two or three years ago (less random threads by him at any rate).

It kinda has to be said now, even if it's just because Delid might be growing some humanity.
