| | | Either St. Augustine, FL, or Las Vegas, Nevada. There's stuff for kids to do in Vegas....anyone ever hear of "Circus Circus" (it has a mid-way for kids) or the New York hotel (that has rides and gaming areas)?
St. Augustine is much nicer than Orlando (no offense, Cyborg) as it's not as much of a tourist trap in terms of ridiculous prices.
The down-side to this is, Jedi....we've talked about gatherings for about 2 years now. Nothing has come to fruition as of yet....It would be nice, but a big issue is that some cannot take the time off from work, or other life situations hinder their chances of gathering (finances, etc.).
That said, I opt more for St. Augustine than I do Vegas, but Vegas is my second choice....that is, If something comes to fruition......
I also think, that since Tony is owner/admin, he should have some say in all this....don't ya think?

| | | I go to St. Augustine all the time. It's only an hour away. So St. Augustine and Orlando could both be covered. |

Not everything, but 99% of the shows do and some of the rides are just ridiculous in price. Vegas was my first choice as well, I guess I'd like to hear from a parent that has taken a kid there if there was enough to do. This is all assuming kids would go (well, anyone under 21.) Quote:

I'm the one that brought it up last year, not sure who the year before. THat's also why I'm trying to bring it up now, so people can plan to take off of work.
I use to belong to a car forum that had a gathering every year. And for that it was even harder to get people since they purpose was to take your car, which meant you had to drive. We had about 1000 members on that board, and about a 30-40 car turnout, which I think was great.
That's why I understand some can't get off work, but, if we have dates planned by the end of this year, 6 months notice should be plenty of time to take off work with vacation time. I'm not looking for a 100% turnout. Heck, I'd be happy if 10 members showed up and got to meet. Quote:

But right now it's just to get interest. Then when it comes later on to planning and registering, then we'll ask him to use the forum name and produce shirts (maybe have a design contest as well.)

| | | This comes up every year. I can remember Shy always wanting to do it and people would all say I'm in and then when it came time to set it up poof they were all gone.
It this does ever get off the ground I would either go to vages or St. Augustine.
