TEH VEGASCON

[SpunGirl]

Signups have been open for awhile. It's sooper-dooper cheap this year. I've seen the hospitality suite firsthand, and it's a winner. Most people show up on Thursday, but enough people have asked that some of us were thinking about doing an "early" outing to Area 51 on Wednesday night. So who's coming!?

[Betheny]

[SpunGirl]

It's March 3-6, Beth, and if you come you have a place to stay free of charge. Casa Murray! I'm kicking the husband out for the weekend and hosting a few (like five) people here.

My girlfriend and I may be in Vegas around that time for vacation... if time permits. If so, we'll definitely be checking out Vegascon.

[SpunGirl]

-K Ahhh... the pajama party. :D I loved going to Vegas and went to the last Simutronics get together to watch the GM's make complete fools of themselves. I was told by my good friend that was at the pajama party that it did get a little wild...

I don't *want* to come, now...

jk. I don't think I can get the time off of work.

[Asha]

Is it worth the journey from London?
Sounds like a blast though.

Shimm

[Kaishaku]

I'll prolly be showing up.

Which I'm sure fills you all with joy and happiness.

[Betheny]

Damn. You flying or driving, Kai?

[Kainen]

Man you guys are gonna be too close to me for my peace of mind.. I may have to move out of Tahoe for that time :P

[Kaishaku]

Flying MaimBeth. Fucked if I would drive to vegas.

If I was going to Simucon, I'd drive, but I aint. I'm only going to Vegascon so I can hit Xygon upside the head with a kipper.

Ah.

I'd consider going but I'm not going by myself and i"m not able to take all that time off work.

that sucks, I would have been willing to go this to this one since its not that far of a drive, but I graduate on the 3rd..

[Lyonis]

Count me in.

[The Cat In The Hat]

I *might* be going, depends on if anyone else I know is going or not. Ive never been to a GS convention thing, might be fun.
