          And Here I Thought

          I'm ****ed either way.... wife will expect to go to Vegas in August, because we "always" go "there "in Aug.", so I'm almost required to go, and that's "my" trip.

          Now the dumb bitch will want me drive her like 1,000 miles to ****ing Disneyworld, I'd pay $1,000 to not have to go there. It sucked when I was 13, ain't gonna be much better at 45 !
          you were this "Big Spender", now begging for 3 bills? What happened Doug, bad run?

                  If there is no airfare included in the deal it will be a flop. Mark my words.

                            ok, lets do this

                            put our collective brains together and ask SBR to use said funds for something else that all or most posters could enjoy

                            maybe a webinar with interviews or think tanks or both

                            i would even pay to see loshak interview shanty, holy fuk the thought of it makes me break out laughing

                            lot of smart guys on the board, please suggest

                              If happy goes I'll go even if I have to pay my air fare. But right now I'm taking the wait and see approach. I'll be in vegas this year whether SBR has a bash or not but would prefer it to be at the BASH.

                                No one will be there in this economy if air fare isn't refunded

                                  I'm with my buddy wtf on this. Take all the funds you would use on the bash and pay Loshak and Shanty for the mother of all interviews. Have them do it in person.

                                  Lou, make this happen pally!!!!

                                    This doesn't affect me since I was planning on driving anyhow. I can see that it would make a huge impact for people that live in Central Time Zone and further East. I'm curious to hear whose plans this changes on attendance. If the Bash ends up sounding like a lame crowd I'm still down to have all my chat buddies here at my place and we can just enjoy the beach and the fishing on the boat.

                                          Airfare or not I will be there, I bet without airfare the bash attendance will be down 54%

                                              My immediate reaction to hearing there probably won't be comped airfare: I'm more likely to attend.

                                              I don't even know why but that was my gut reaction. I guess I instinctively figgered it would mean less kids who, as pico says, will be constantly talking about jj and sammy.

                                                Im probably not going without comped airfare. If you set a precedent of having it the first year you should offer it every year.

                                                        John's post pretty much rules me out. I'm not much of a drinker, don't golf or play poker & other casino games.

                                                        I'd be going all that distance to shake hands and talk with peeps from an internet forum.

                                                            Yeah, that's an excellent point Sickler. Even though I love to drink, I can do that just as well on the beach here in 75 degree weather as opposed to the stifling 115°F summer of Vegas. I'd basically be a prisoner of the heat at a casino with nothing to do. I don't play poker, don't care to bet on baseball from an onshore sportsbook, and don't golf when it's above 80°. I'm pretty sure all the guys from the chat room that I wanted to hang out with will eventually meet up at some point with a more entertaining agenda.

                                                            Besides, I was worried all along that if I brought a young-looking boyfriend that Bill Dozer would try to have me arrested for being a child molester. That asshole still hasn't apologized for casting those aspersions on my character. Poor form, Bill...

                                                              This is a great get together. Just stay away from the craps

Well I shook hands and hung out and shot the shit with SBR John, Diogee, the prick Happy boy, Iwin and others. Great time. Even getting drunk and going out of the poker game wasn't a bad thing altho I missed dinner.

                                                                  If it happens (and I hope it will) I will be there. Given you had to pony up the airfare first, if you can't afford the fare you won't be there anyways.
