    lame excuse

    your mom had a birthday last year, and she will probably have one again next year. if you live your life around everyone else's birthdays and holidays you would never be able to do anything.
    christmas, easter, thanksgiving, mother's day, father's day, mom's bday, dad's bday, grandma/grandpa bday, kids/friends/siblings/bday, etc etc

    the sooner you get in the habit of missing stupid shit like that the better

    Yeah, really, that is one of the dumbest excuses I've ever heard. Was he even being serious? Would anyone actually skip a vacation for somebody's birthday???

    Sounds like a dog-ate-my-homework line if you ask me. I mean just say Hey guys, I'm actually not sure I want to hang with a bunch of strangers from the Internet, so I changed my mind. We'd all respect that more!

    just got an email from golden nugget

    sunday-thursday rooms $45 (carson tower) $65 (gold tower) but includes 2 breakfast buffets.

    sam, for those of us staying extra nights it would be nice to have some breakfast to soak up some of the booze, i think they'll throw that in if you ask nicely

    If the Nugget doesn't give me as many free nights as I want, I'd be shocked. Handed them a bundle last time. Will apprise.

    Just got my tickets. Expensive as hell by the way, usually I pay around $300 from Houston to Vegas direct, sometimes I've gotten tickets for as low as $200. I had an alert on Kayak set up and finally got fed up waiting and ended up buying them straight from United/Continental for $500 a pop. Didn't want to miss it.

    We'll get our money back on craps Mitch.

    Yeah, Boy! Can't wait! Shit, my rates from Boston are expensive too, though... been waiting it out but will have to just bite the bullet soon.

    The email that Sam is circulating around, more specifically the 2nd SBR Bash confirmation email, he states if you don't respond to him he's going to put us down as a "non-attendee"...What's the deal with that? I responded to his first email, but I still get this email, and isn't the cutoff date in the late June as was stated in this thread earlier by the same person (sam9ball)... Should I book the tickets or not, I feel like Ireland1946, except more sober? J/k

    Thx again, Sam.

    I'm scoping out my ticket now. It's looking good so I might pull the trigger.

    Getting pumped for the Bash!! Airfare from St. Louis sucks currently as well. I doubt it gets any better.
