MeFiVegas

MeFiVegas.
It's a month away. There are a few confirmed and a lot of wafflers. Let me know if you think you'll be coming, and I'll be making arrangements for a place to meet. Any MeFiers live in Sin City?

Oh, and angrymodem needs a ride from Iowa. Could someone be a dear and pick him up on your way? Thanks.

I'll be there. Maybe only for Friday night and Saturday, but I'll be there.

I'm still waiting for the Los Angeles/Hollywood meetup...

Vegas is a bit too long of a drive from here, remembering DefCon.

Alas, I'm no longer able to make it.
Stupid work with its stupid paychecks.

Alas, I'm no longer able to make it. (Though my wife was quite onboard.)
Stupid no work with its stupid nonexistent paychecks.

Alas, I'm going to Belgium instead.
Stupid fun with beer and frites and stuff.

I would be there but .... stupid Pacific Ocean and 11,893 km (as the crow flies).

I'll be there, even though none of you know me because I'm a shadowy, mysterious lurker.

Hmmm. I was in Iowa last week and could have given angrymodem a ride to Utah (just 5-6 hours from Vegas) *then*... maybe even kicked off the Southern Utah MeFi tour (there's at least one lurker who lives in St. George, and if you haven't seen Zion's and Bryce and the like, make a note to turn off your computer sometime in the next year and do that...)...

Iowa? Utah? Where do you people hang out?

"and if you haven't seen Zion's and Bryce and the like...."

I'll actually be doing the MeFi meetup *and* Zion that weekend.

I'll be there, but I'll be too busy gambling and whoring to associate with any of you!

Just booked my flight.

Can't make it, phooey. Have to go back to work. Oh well, I'd probably just do something crazy like get married again.

How MUCH do I want to go to this. After the fun of the last MeFi meetup, and then Vegas, and Desert, And HST, and Americi.... Maybe I should just pretend I have a terminal illness or something. Oh... I really want to go. Matt. You know that Pony you don't owe me. Maybe you could just sell it, and send me the cash.

I've been told I should pop in and mention that I'm accompanying y6 to Vegas for this meet up. Where I will either keep him from peeing in the collective pool...or just take photos and post them later.
*snicker*

I will be there. Don't expect me to remember you. I will be good and goddamn drubk.

Anyone?

Hello?

I will be there with bells on...bells I tell you!

[How's that for getting wild?]

I want to be there just to see Salmonberry drunk. Hell, I'll be DD. Anyone want to buy me a plane ticket?
