Early Birds, Where will you be?

**Anonymous** · 07-21-2002, 03:13 AM

Thre was a similar thread in the other, ill equipped (and by ill equipped I mean it had a small penis) board. Come to think of it, there are several threads in this forum that should be revived. Here's my contribution:

I just realized today that I could in theory arrive as early as Tuesday in Vegas. I probably won't, simply because I've only reserved a room for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but then again I might stay in a fleabag hotel for a couple days and waste all my money at el casino.

Who else is arriving early? And even if you're not arriving early, when ARE you arriving?

psst.. this should be in the CGE forum!

**Anonymous** · 07-21-2002, 12:24 PM

Where was it? OH, I bet I accidentally posted in the Collector's guide forum, didn't I?

*Smacks open hand against forehead*

*Knocks self out*

You know, I picture each of the forums as kind of being like a room, and I had this great mental picture of someone coming into the CGE forum and seeing me passed out in the middle of the floor, with no one else around.

NICE verbal imagery :bangurhead:

I'll be there on Friday. The time depends on how badly lost we get on the way there

**portnoyd** · 07-21-2002, 02:18 PM

Just keep going east!

I'll be there from the Sunday before, but too drunk to notice anything until about Thursday

*snicker* Like I'm gonna take directions from YOU!

Everyone still on for McDonalds Friday night?

**Anonymous** · 07-21-2002, 02:37 PM

I am. Is anybody bringing their cell phones with them? I'll be bringing mine...

**retrogmr** · 07-21-2002, 07:34 PM

Assuming there isn't some last-minute setup thing I get dragged into, I'm definitely down for meeting up on Friday night.

At some point, we should all e-mail each other cell phone numbers so that we've got easy ways to get in touch (PLEASE don't post them on the forum; you'd be inviting trouble :P).

**portnoyd** · 07-21-2002, 09:31 PM

Fuck, I mean West!

Let's see, check my itinerary...OK, me and my wife will be arriving in Vegas around noon on Friday. After arriving at The Plaza (where we'll be staying) we're gonna tour to Old Strip and the Fremont Street area. (She's never been to Classic-Ratpack-Vegas before.) I'll still meet everyone at McDonalds that evening. We should "sticky" a meeting time in this forum when one is agreed upon.

I probably won't be socializing outside of the CGE floor too often, as Chris (my wife) really has little interest in classic video games. (Though she's got a pass so she can play the classic arcade games. She's looking ofrward to that.) Outside of the floor, she and I will be doing the Vegas thing "proper."

Keep me informed of room parties and I'll do my best to pop in and say "Hey."

BTW, I'lll be driving to Vegas, so depending on how well I "click" with board members in person, if you need a ride, I'm sure I can accomodate you. Who is going to have a vehicle when the arrive in Vegas? Who isn't? This is very important if sights are going to be seen...

**Mayhem** · 07-22-2002, 06:51 AM

Wednesday evening @ The Plaza. So I'll have a look for any miscreants then whilst recovering from jet lag! :P

**Devin** · 07-22-2002, 01:42 PM

I'm in the Plaza from Wednesday before CGEXPO for an entire week, as i'm crossing the Atlantic thought I may as well have a decent stint in Nevada

Although I am concerned by the lack of talk for drunken sessions before the friday night one!! Reckon we should just spot each other in the Plaza by our Geeky T-Shirts and get a proper drinking session going

What do you reckon Mayhem, compound the jet lag effect with alcohol...it's a real freaky feeling combined with sleep deprevation. Which I did alot of on my travels through Eastern Europe :shock:

**Sniderman** · 07-22-2002, 02:13 PM

Well Devin, most of the folks in the States are getting into Vegas on Friday rather than earlier in the week - making a "long weekend" of it rather than a week-long vacation cultimating in the CGE. You might be hard-pressed to find many folks arriving in town before Friday.

For me though, the last thing I need is to be hanging around Vegas with a ton of $$$ for a week before CGE. I'd be broke by the time CGE rolled around!

**Anonymous** · 07-22-2002, 02:23 PM

Well, that's what this thread is mainly for, snidey :) I might be there early, but I just got a ticket thanks to our states new zero tolerance seatbelt law. An 86 dollar fine, and now they can pull you over JUST FOR NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. There goes dinner and one night at the plaza :(

**Devin** · 07-22-2002, 04:09 PM

Frigging cops

So who IS up for a

session and what exactly were the plans for friday?

**Tempest** · 07-23-2002, 01:24 PM

I'll be getting in Wednesday morning. I plan to do some sightseeing, but I could meet in somewhere in the hotel on Wed. just about anytime.

for anybody coming in Wednesday night, why not meet at Gameworks on the strip?

**Anonymous** · 07-24-2002, 04:37 AM

Wow, there's a Gameworks on the strip? Boy I really did spend too much time gambling last time I was there. Oh well, at least with black jack there's a better chance of getting a match game...

**liab1228** · 07-24-2002, 06:30 PM

yup there is and its located across from New York, New York.
