OK folks, so I want to take a test to the waters and see how warm it is. Jeff and I have been talking about a formal get together in Las Vegas this September, second weekend (11 & 12). I know I’ve mentioned this to a few people already but I want to see if people are serious about this. I’d like to get some input from staff members first, and then post it publically for the entire BBB population.
The plan is to have a dinner and then go to an after event. My suggestion would be the Piano Bar in NY NY. Went last year – it’s seriously kickass.
If you think you’re up for it, post now.
July 31, 2009 at 10:56 am #175460Doris KenneyParticipantWhile I would love to, Vegas is one of my favs, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it out. Hope it turns out to be a great time tho!!
July 31, 2009 at 10:20 pm #175434FanaticMemberI could possibly drive out. It’s about a 4-5 hour drive, depending on traffic. It would be fun to get some folks together.
Anyone seriously interested? Do we open this up to other members?
August 1, 2009 at 5:57 am #175439NessaParticipantAs I mentioned to Graham, when he brought this up – I’m so broke with school and bills. I pay completely out of pocket for school so it gets expensive especially with book prices too! Otherwise I’d love to go but no money.
August 1, 2009 at 2:41 pm #175448PolarBearNPRParticipantI was seriously thinking of it, tried doing some planning and such but just can’t swing it this year. One of the suckiest things about this medium is making friends and rarely getting to meet them in person. But then that’s something we all know, don’t we :p
However, one of the great things is that, seems like most of us, when in someone’s “area” try to at least grab a meal together.
August 1, 2009 at 4:28 pm #175433FanaticMemberAre there non-staffers or “alumni” that you think might be interested?
August 2, 2009 at 12:35 am #175449PolarBearNPRParticipantSami – Rabid Kitten lives there, doesn’t she?

Gee, this sounds like it would be a blast! I have always wanted to go to Las Vegas. However I am currently unemployed and owe money for college and books…

August 3, 2009 at 10:18 am #175454PhilipModeratorI’m in the same boat as Mr. Oats and Nessa…the No Money boat. And I have a large stretch of water to cross (the Pacific)
August 3, 2009 at 11:14 am #175457Doris KenneyParticipantI am reconsidering coming out. I have to iron out a few things, so it’s not definite yet, but it’s moved up to a definite maybe.
August 3, 2009 at 5:52 pm #175432FanaticMemberGraham, have you contacted Sami? Is there anyone else outside of staff that we might contact? Do we consider opening the invitation in the public forum?

August 3, 2009 at 9:53 pm #175458Doris KenneyParticipantCan’t hurt to open it up, but you’d get a better response (if you are going to get one) if you have the details ironed out. We kinda sorta might perhaps do something isn’t really all that exciting now is it?
Would be far better to pin something down and post a definite even if one 2-3 people show up. It at least gives the appearance of being organized.

Although obviously those out of the country might have a more difficult time getting here. It might be nice to include them for all their past works here. Extend the good feelings, ya know.
August 5, 2009 at 10:40 pm #175461Doris KenneyParticipantw00t! RSVP from me! Looks like I’m able to manage a couple days in Vegas after all. Once you guys decide the plans let me know so I can figure out how to get where I need to be when I need to be there.
