Kitten Gathering - Las Vegas - Feb 2003

[Rally]

I for one will not be needing a stripper, in fact i will quite possibly be in need of some clothing.

------------




Well officially, of course, I have to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.

Rane, I will be happy to consult with my highly reliable *cough* contact in Las Vegas. Also we will be visiting the lovely Sahara a week from Sunday, so I will see what else is in the neighborhood. I am sure there are some other Kittens looking to split some rooms.

[Nix42]

Okay, I'm combining this trip with a wee holiday in San Fransisco (well Las Vegas is a long way from the UK)



I'm booked in at the Sahara for the Fri - Sun, then back to SF on the Monday. All I need now if for United to go belly up and stuff up my flight!

You stole the sun from my heart

[Rane018]

hello kittens.



Xita and I spoke last night about the gathering and we wanted to make sure we knew when people were arriving to Vegas to see when we should have our welcome shindig....



ETA: the contact preson had changed... please email nicky all your travel info at nicolahaslam@xtra.co.nz (your arrival date, from whence you're coming from (lol), arrival time, where you are staying, when you are leaving) I'm going to make a sorta database with the info. Nicky will check the thread regularly though but try to send it either to her or post it here though i think for security reasons it's best to email her.



more updates as we come up with stuff to update about. hehe

Ok, I've booked my room for the three of us from Dallas. Me, my gf Lael, and tiyodragon, will be at the Sahara Thursday through Sunday.



Now I just gotta find a decent flight...

Mates! (have to start with a traditional NZ greeting)



Thanks to everyone who has sent me confirmation that you're coming to Vegas. If you haven't sent me something - and are still hoping to come - please drop me a line at nicolahaslam@xtra.co.nz.



For those who have replied, I have sent you a few questions to answer so that we can get an idea about activities etc. that you'd like to have.



Once we get this info back - we'll put together a program for the weekend and get down to the nitty gritty of getting things organised (tickets, bail money etc.).



You may have noticed that I use the word 'we'. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to help - someone will be tapping you on the shoulder to take you up on it I'm sure.

Ok, so I will be arriving on the 13th and staying at the Sahara. 2 more kittens are arriving on the 14th and staying til the 17th...I'm leaving on the 18th. Is that confusing enough? or should I go have some nog and try to make it more confusing for you guys?

I will also email the person who is the coordinator....and let them know our plans....





I'm a little excited by the idea of all the kittens in one room....

Greetings and salutations. A Happy New Year to you all. Here is the first Vegas update for 2003. I have set up an emailing list for all those who have confirmed their attendance so there should be nothing new here for you guys.



If this is new then:

a) you haven't emailed me to let me know you're going (naughty kitten); or

b) you're not on my mailing list (naughty me); or

c) you're still not sure whether you can go but you want to keep up-to-date; or

d) you read every single thread even though its of no interest to you.



Planning is well underway now with 26 confirming attendance and a few still not sure. The following activities are being planned: meet and greet evening, introductory gambling lessons, An Evening at La Cage, Boogie Nights at the House of Blues, and a group dinner on the last night (where we all get drunk and say "I love you all, hic").



I have also put together a list of all the entertainment and attractions Vegas has to offer so there is plenty to do in the "free time".



There are bound to be some more casual activities as well (did someone mention a party in Xita's room?).



The big job for January will be to finalise venues for the meet and greet and dinner. Luckily, Eden (AlwaysE) has volunteered to scout out some places for us (in exchange for ...um...nevermind).



So that's where we are. Drop me a line at nicolahaslam@xtra.co.nz if you have any questions or comment. Alternatively, post in this thread and I'll pick it up here.



Thanks.

Hey!



Someone involved with this emailed me a question about PayPal.



I lost your email. Can you resend it.



Thanks, sorry for the semi-off topic, personal post.

I sent out an email this morning to all those Kittens attending Vegas asking for confirmation on arrival times and show attendance.



Please let me know if you are going to Vegas but don't receive the email.



Thanks, Nicky

[maudmac]

Nicky! I am going to buy you sooooo many drinks in Vegas. You've done so much work on all this and we all really appreciate it.



I might even have to tear myself away from the slots to express my...appreciation.



So I can have your babies, right?

[MadeinNZ]

Oh please , happy to do it.



Express your appreciation eh? I think I need to add that to my 'special' schedule.

I need some help from the California Kittens, and have an idea for the non-CA couples attending. I told Corky (aka Triscuit7, aka Melissa) when we got our Vermont civil union that I would marry her in every state if necessary. I just found out that the CA domestic partnership law doesn't require CA residency, and I thought it might be fun to make a side trip to California on Friday (Valentine's Day) to register there.



I checked out the Domestic Partnership Registration form on the CA state Web site, and it looks like we'd have to actually go to a county seat in order to register - and have to get a CA notary to witness the signatures. After much stumbling around on various Web sites, it looks like the nearest CA county seats are Independence and San Bernardino, neither of which looks exactly close to Las Vegas.



As a fallback, I was thinking of crossing the border just long enough to get the damn thing notarized and mailed off to the CA Secretary of State, in the hope that there'd be a notary in Baker or Barstow or anywhere closer than the county seats.



So, CA Kittens - are the distances as bad as they look to a stranger, or is the fallback plan the only feasible one? And are any other couples interested in an expedition like this?

Hey Darcy - I'm a California kitten and a lawyer to boot (ok, just stop right there with the jokes ). Drop me an email (my address is in my profile) and perhaps I can help. Anything to make kittens more civil and unionized and domestic and registered.

I like lickin', I do.

[Rane018]

lol... i'm sorry i just have to laugh at E's *i like lickin'* endquote.



luv ya relativegirl-y girl

well, hey . . . it's lickin' . who doesn't like lickin' ???

[MadeinNZ]

Yes, kitten lickin' good. Just ask the Colonel.

[tommo]

The Colonel licks cats? Isn't that, like, illegal or something?

The bookings have been made, the tickets purchased and the money sorted. Now all that remains is for everyone to dust off their boogie shoes and get themselves to Sin City in February.



Its been a busy week. We've booked the locations for the meet & greet and the dinner. Got tickets for a show on Friday night, and started to put together an information pack (with useful numbers and Las Vegas guides).



The numbers are getting up - close to 30 now. I've sent out a more detailed update to Vegas Kittens this afternoon (so I don't bore everyone with the details).



If you're starting to think, 'hey, I might want to do the Vegas thing', or win the lottery in the next couple of weeks, its not too late to join us. Just drop me an email and I can hook you up (in a non dealer/pimp way).



The countdown begins .... 5 weeks to Vegas.

LOL, Nicky! I just have to say I am really excited about this! I get my plane tickets on Friday, got the digital camera yesterday... should be fun!!!!

Edited by: AlexisMQ at: 1/11/03 9:15:17 pm

[MadeinNZ]

Alexis, mate. We have to talk about the proper and improper use of a digital camera. Here's a clue - ANY photo of me is improper. Other than that little rule - go for your life.

[AlexisMQ]

Nicky - Does that mean that I still can get you with the video and the regular camera? *grin*

Well if you act like one, you might as well sound like one. I'm just saying...

Saddly, I won't be able to attend, what may be the greatest get together of the year. Any thoughts on making this an annual event?
