Vegascon!

[Belnia]

Vegascon is back this year!

Dates are April 1st through 4th and there will be a room block at the South Point hotel and casino. $55 a night for Wednesday and Thursday and $75 a night for Friday and Saturday.

No registration, just show up and have a good time it looks like.

[NocturnalRob]

how far away from the strip are you guys this time?

[Androidpk]

Booo. Bring that shit to Boston!

[Celephais]

Booo. Bring that shit to Boston!
We've got plenty of us up here, we really need to do something. Of course, don't expect me to plan anything.

[BigWorm]

Booo. Bring that shit to Boston!

I know you live there so you don't care, but flights to Vegas and hotel rooms are are WAY cheaper than either in Boston. Also, I don't know if you've heard this but Vegas has legalized gambling and the least restrictive alcohol laws in America.

[TheLastShamurai]

Least restrictive in what way?

Good points, but I don't gamble and I'm not bothered by alcohol laws, I'm 28.

[Danical]

He means like buying alcohol on sunday or only after a certain time on sunday.

[Durgrimst]

The open container law 'exists' in Vegas but is not enforced. You are even allowed to drink in cabs.

Haha, nice.

[BigWorm]

Pretty much the only law is minimum age. You can buy alcohol 24/7/365 and public intoxication is explicitly legal statewide.

[BigWorm]

Oh also there is legalized prostitution in other parts of the state (not Vegas), which I'm pretty sure is the reason that Rob wants to go. I don't know if there are enough male providers to satisfy his needs though.

[NocturnalRob]

Pfft...dude, I live in nyc. If I want a little man-boy love, I just go to Chinatown.

[BigWorm]

So jealous. I have to hit up truck stops here in STL.

[Sean of the Thread]

Ahh you mean like that place Ben Stiller was "just peeing" at in something about Mary?

Gotcha.

[Paradii]

I'll be in Reno or outside of Eureka, NV then buttttttttttttttt I shalln't be in attendance.

[Me]

So who goes to this anymore? I haven't been in years but it sounds seriously smaller. Do lots of people show or just a small gathering?

me

[LOL BRIELUS]

maybe i'd go, if there was some sort of flight special and GS golf tournament.

[Cephalopod]

maybe i'd go, if there was some sort of flight special and GS golf tournament.

Shouldn't you get a job first?

[Rue]

Thinking about attending this actually. Still on the fence, but since I already live in NV, it would be just a hop, skip, and stumble away.

[Rucca]

I've never been to one of these before...Vegas would be fun...

:yeahthat:

[Gelston]

Can we have an AfghaniCon? Why is all the Con shit always scheduled for times I'm not in the US? Fucking conspiracy.

[Daniel]

The open container law 'exists' in Vegas but is not enforced. You are even allowed to drink in cabs.

This is not true.

I've had open container laws enforced against me in Vegas.

Yes, my open container may have been a full keg in a red wagon I was wheeling down the strip, but still.

[Daniel]

Can we have an AfghaniCon? Why is all the Con shit always scheduled for times I'm not in the US? Fucking conspiracy.

You in RC-South? We can maybe kick this off in the next couple months.

[AestheticLife]

I'll be there!... well, I'm already there, but...

Peace.

[Methais]

I'll go if Tisket goes without her husband...

[kookiegod]

Plenty of events in New England if you want to do a GS gather.

Evelith has them, Charna has em (just had one, but dumb me mucked up the date, and then the world conspired against me), and I've had them, and will do something in a month, need an excuse to cook.

I haven't been to Vegas in a bit, so sounds fun.

[Gelston]

rofl, I'm GOING to be in Helmand so yes.

[Rue]

Bump Bump Thump

[Trouble]

Is there a site for the 2010 VegasCon? I need to burn some leave.

[leifastagsweed]

So?

[Drakefang]

I think you'd have more luck on the officials unless you are having it in Boston.

[Whirlin]

I'd be down for a Boston gathering.

[Drakefang]

I'd be down for a Boston gathering.

See!

[msconstrew]

That's because Boston is where it's at. And by "it", I mean BriarFox.

[Bobmuhthol]

I see how "it" is.

[diethx]

I'll come if msconstrew comes to get me on her way!

[msconstrew]

I'll come if msconstrew comes to get me on her way!

Oh my God, can you even imagine THAT roadtrip? Hotlanta to Boston, here we come!

[diethx]

It would be fun as shit. Fun. as. shit.

[DCSL]

Atlanta's more on my way but the lawyer's car is probably better than mine.

[Lolleia]

Oh my God, can you even imagine THAT roadtrip? Hotlanta to Boston, here we come!

If you're coming to Atlanta then you might as well come get me too!

[msconstrew]

Hahah. Subaru Forester, baby!

[DCSL]

Swing by Austin and get me too.

[diethx]

What? You're in Atlanta? We should get drinks.

[msconstrew]

So, the plan is that I drive from Wisconsin to Austin to get Dex; then to the southern east coast to pick up Stef and Lolleia; and then we drive up to Boston? I just want to know how you ladies are planning to get home...

[diethx]

www.airtran.com (http://www.airtran.com)

Also - shot gun.

[Lolleia]

What? You're in Atlanta? We should get drinks.

I'm about an hour and a half away, but it's close enough!

[diethx]

Pffff. I am not driving an hour and a half for drinks.

[msconstrew]

Okay, this is only happening if there are good snacks in the car. I will bring Wisconsin sausage and expensive cheese.

[Lolleia]

Hahah I meant for msconstrew to come get me! I do have a doctor in ATL that I see pretty frequently, we could totally do drinks when I'm up that way.

[diethx]

Mmm, sausage. And okay, drinks drinks drinks! It would be neat if your doctor was near my work, or my home, and then I could be incredibly fucking lazy and not really have to travel at all. :D

[DCSL]

I'll bring a bunch of Texas BBQ. 'cause yeah. And coffee? I'll fly home!

[Whirlin]

I want the cheese that you bring to Boston to still be squeaky.

[msconstrew]

I want the cheese that you bring to Boston to still be squeaky.

Oooo, you are clearly in the know. The squeaky curds always sound like they're screaming...

[msconstrew]

I'll bring a bunch of Texas BBQ. 'cause yeah. And coffee? I'll fly home!

May I offer you ladies a gift of fine Wisconsin sausage?

4413

*I got a bunch of gifts from outside counsel at Christmas time, and a lot of them sent Usinger's sausage (which IS delicious). Anyway, the side of one of the boxes stated that it contained "fine Wisconsin sausage." You can imagine where it went from there.

[diethx]

You bring that weird Canadian shit and I will make sure to bring something that makes me fart a lot. I dunno what that might be, but I'll start testing out new foods to find one that does the trick.

[Drakefang]

I think those squeaky screaming cheese curds she is bringing will probably gas up nicely.

[diethx]

Yeah, but for that I'd have to eat them. Ew.

[leifastagsweed]

Wow. Galenok, are you psychic?

Also, I believe the title of this thread is VEGAScon. That's generally known to be LAS VEGAS.

[Lolleia]

I'm not really sure where we're going and I don't care as long as I get cheese, sausage and booze.

[DCSL]

I'm with you on the booze. I don't want screaming cheese. I will enjoy its screams, sure, but probably not its flavor.

[msconstrew]

Try it. You'll like it.

(when cheese curds are very fresh, they "squeak" when you bite into them. it is an interesting sound.) (cheese curds are the curds part of the "curds and whey" of Little Miss Muffett lore, and are essentially little bits of cheese).

[diethx]

Boooooooooooze. I am not the designated driver. Just FYI.

[Drakefang]

I'm not really sure where we're going and I don't care as long as I get cheese, sausage and boobs.

Fixed.

Also, by the time you get to Boston I am pretty sure diethx will have the car smelling nicely for all of you after that pit stop at South of the Border.

[diethx]

Hahaha. Nah, msconstrew wouldn't dare bring weird Canadian cheese. She'll bring the real stuff.

[DCSL]

Boooooooooooze. I am not the designated driver. Just FYI.

Yeah, not it. The lawyer can be sober to get us out of jail.

[Drakefang]

Hahaha. Nah, msconstrew wouldn't dare bring weird Canadian cheese. She'll bring the real stuff.

Have you ever stopped at South of the Border? I doubt anything from there is "real." I hear Wisconsin smells of beer and cheese. Not necessarily a bad thing.

[diethx]

Are you calling Wisconsin "South of the Border"? I'm confused.

[diethx]

Yeah, not it. The lawyer can be sober to get us out of jail.

Ok this really needs to happen. I don't care if we take a road trip or you guys just come visit me. BUT IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

[Drakefang]

Are you calling Wisconsin "South of the Border"? I'm confused.

No no. You must've just missed my post about stopping at South of the Border. It's along 95 at the South Carolina/North Carolina border. You guys wouldn't even probably go that way, you'd take 85..etc. It was a failed attempt at gas humor.

Sounds like you ladies would have a blast regardless.

[msconstrew]

Wow, so, I'm the DD in all of this? Dex, that Austin BBQ better be amazing. If I can't drink, I will DAMN SURE eat.

[Paradii]

So, no one is coming to Nevada? Why are you all posting in here?!?

That is one horrible train wreck that I can't stop staring at.

[leifastagsweed]

Agreed and how I feel about this thread. Meh, I give up. I am willing to organize, not cheer lead!

[diethx]

I think it's funny that you're getting your panties so in a bunch over us joking around in this thread. That you didn't start.

Don't be mad because we didn't invite you on our roadtrip leifa. We didn't invite you because we don't want to hang out with you.

[msconstrew]

LOL.

I hardly think necroing a thread and asking, "well?" is an indication that you are willing to organize.

[DCSL]

Cue "Guys. I'm really not at all upset. Ha ha. See? Not upset, guys. GUYS. You have no power over me, David Bowie!"

[Paradii]

Do you live in Nevada?

Northern Nevada, so it's like a 7 hour drive to vegas.

[diethx]

Oh. Boo.

[leifastagsweed]

LOL.

Yep, I bounced this thread in response to another thread resurrection of someone asking if my gathering happened. Clearly a different crowd follows this thread! I get it, I get it, so thanks for the rep and hack and slash. Boston hates Leifa.

[Stanley Burrell]

Can't stop here.

This is bat country.

I would be totally down for Vegas'ing it up if the teleporter was invented. And it wasn't in beta trials where like they get your body parts all mixed up if you don't hone in on the target correctly. Like in that Sci-Fi movie with ... Tim Allen? The name escapes me at the moment.

[diethx]

Not just Boston.

Mother fucking Galaxy Quest. How do you forget that?!

[Stanley Burrell]

How do you forget that?!

Because my Dr. said "dammit to hell, F U Stanley Burrell and your tolerance" and gave me ridiculous antipsychotic shit just for anxiety NOS and insomnia.

[Stanley Burrell]

Still unacceptable though, my bad :-[

Stop having fun in this thread Stanley! This is the serious section of the PC. Gawd what is wrong with you people?

[Paradii]

Oh. Boo.

Did this revelation alter your plans?

[diethx]

Did this revelation alter your plans?

Yes, I am no longer interested in going to Vegas.

Yo, I will be Dr. Gonzo to your Raoul Duke. Or the other way around, doesn't matter. Ether way.

I'm pretty sure SOMEONE alerted the Wiener Dog Gestapo because I just got hit for going off-topic, which I am told is not something tolerated on the PC. Apparently we need to take this nonsense to the officials where it belongs.

I hear you can distract them with sausages.

Johnny Cash and I are saddened by the discord in this thread. Aren't we all beautiful, beautiful human beings? Also John Lennon.

I just alerted the WDG to your off topic-ness! They will be ascending upon your home any moment with their short legs and floppy ears that you'll have to flip over for them.

[Gelston]

I'm having a ShreveportCon. It is in 30 minutes. Get in your helicopters and jets and get here. Thx.
