OK. Im jealous. I want to go to England and meet the gang. What do you say we have one here in a few months? How about October? Maybe even January since its cheap to fly then? Here is a poll of a city anyone would like to meet in...

Any more ideas?

Baltimore or D.C.!

International Falls, Minnesota in January would be fun

How bout somewhere more in the middle of the country, so those of us in the south and west arent' paying alot for a plane ticket. :wah:

Independence, Missouri. Stands to reason - we can all get to see the Truman museum while we're there.

I've got a great-uncle buried an hour's drive east of there.

Or Indianapolis? My whole entire family is there. Wouldnt have to worry about hotel costs!:p

There is always beautiful year round San Diego California..:-6

Boy, San Diego is a good choice, L.A. is just up north and my family is there.

I'm going to look at Tombstone's map and find a middle spot..................wait, what about we all show up at Tombstone's! Let's surprise him! Just pop in one day, oh, about 10-20 of us......................:wah:

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.



Bright light city gonna set my soul

Gonna set my soul on fire

Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn,

So get those stakes up higher

There’s a thousand pretty women waitin’ out there

And they’re all livin’ devil may care

And I’m just the devil with love to spare

Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

How I wish that there were more

Than the twenty-four hours in the day

’cause even if there were forty more

I wouldn’t sleep a minute away

Oh, there’s black jack and poker and the roulette wheel

A fortune won and lost on ev’ry deal

All you need’s a strong heart and a nerve of steel

Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

Viva las vegas with you neon flashin’

And your one armbandits crashin’

All those hopes down the drain

Viva las vegas turnin’ day into nighttime

Turnin’ night into daytime

If you see it once

You’ll never be the same again

I’m gonna keep on the run

I’m gonna have me some fun

If it costs me my very last dime

If I wind up broke up well

I’ll always remember that I had a swingin’ time

I’m gonna give it ev’rything I’ve got

Lady luck please let the dice stay hot

Let me shout a seven with ev’ry shot

Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,

Viva, viva las vegas

YEAH BABY VIVA LAS VEGAS..!! WORKS FOR ME..!! ABOUT A 5 HOUR OR LESS DRIVE FOR ME...!! :guitarist

Star Trek and Vegas....................

What more could Snooze and I ask for?

*thinking, Elvis is dead now..............................*

You know if it IS in Vegas... somebody's gonna hafta get married!

By an Elvis impersonator!

I like the way you think spot, I think I speak for everyone when I say visiting your dead uncle would be a real hoot. Im in ! :-6

Sorry....wasn't paying attention....Did someone say Uncle?

I think it was the Monkey.

Boy, Mom's idea about her place and Wolfy being there makes that a good idea too..........................

Mom, you can come stay with me if it's here! And Wolfy too!

I like the Vegas idea. I can show ya'll my old house. Maybe the new owner'd let us crash there for a night. :yh_think

Oh, Snooze, did you hear that!

Vegas!

I AM ~IN ~IN ~IN ~IN !!!
Please say we can start planning it! That will give me something to look forward too....Any where......Here in IOWA.. -in Vegas..California!! anywhere....Lets really do this...It will give everyone some time to get things arranged and then our overseas peeps can make it too-- maybe!! Ohhhhhhhh ---keep this going...I am serious..I need some light at the end of my tunnel...and it certainly can't be the BIG LIGHT:yh_pray :yh_angel ...cuz I can't check out now that we are having a get together!! Whooooooopiieeeeeeee!! But let me get some time to grow some hair back..When is this happening again??..Maybe I will get a Dolly Parton Wig! What the hell!!:D

August in Vegas is hot as hell, or very close. Casinos usually give good room rates then.



If that's too soon, there are times throughout the year where a casino might give group rates.

I'm with Mom about keeping up the dialogue-some of us do need something nice to look forward to, and the time to make the logistics to get there! Opt for DC, and you guys can stay with me!:)

How bout Killington resort.. in ohhhhhh.. foilage season. all the pretty leaves.. .. naaaahhhhh...

during the winter.. ski and ride time.. woohoooooooooooooooooo

What is the time-frame for this gathering? I know someone mentioned October, but do we have to wait that long? Bullet and I will be travelling the first 2 weeks of July, from Michigan south and ultimately end up meeting LC. But there's lots of states in between! We gotta get this thing organized, and SOON!! The London gathering is going so well, and I am incredibly jealous, and I wanna meet some of you guys SOON!!!

Anyone know where Moberly, Missouri, is? I have family there!!

Does anyone know where you can get good group rates in Vegas? It would have to be a time of year when there is nothing going on,(conventions)
