OK, Corky/Triscuit/Melissa and I finally got around to booking our flights: arriving 11:05 AM on 13th and departing 11:05 AM on the 18th. We're psyched. If anyone else will be coming/going around the same time, maybe we can coordinate transport to the hotel together?



And Nicky, fair warning - I understand that when members of the CompuServe LGBT forum had a gathering in Las Vegas that there were embarassing pictures of one of the attendees floating around for more than a year afterward. Suffice to say that one of the best/worst involved wearing the attendance stickers from the Liberace museum as pasties. In the parking lot.

Thanks for the warning Darcy. I'll be sure to stay away from the Liberace museum and parking lots. And just to make sure, I'll be leaving the country shortly afterwards.

[Darcy]

Uh - you do realize that with the Internet involved, leaving the country isn't a sufficient safeguard, right?



BTW, thanks to relativegirl, who confirmed that a NJ notary would be acceptable, we got our California Domestic Partnership registration notarized this weekend and it goes in the mail tomorrow morning. I would have liked to do the whole "register in person at the county clerk's office" thing, but once I found out how far away from the nearest office we were it was obvious that wasn't going to work!

Ok, we're all confirmed up for our flights. Tiyodragon, me and my gf will be arriving in LV at 6:03 pm on the 13th, and we'll be leaving around 4:50 pm on the 16th.



I'll send you an email, Nicky, with the detail info for this.



Can't wait to see Las Vegas! Only 22 more days!

oh wow.



You guys are so lucky. But I unfortunately am going to Vegas during spring break sometime in March and thus cannot make it twice in a period of a month or so

[xita]

Ahh that's too bad.





Guys, I am pretty excited! All those kittens in one place and Nicky's brining spreadsheets.. oh god, it's just too much.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

[MadeinNZ]

Brining spreadsheets?



Don't give away all my secrets please Xita.



Edited to add: while I'm posting I may as well put in a reminder to those who haven't sent money to Xita yet. Don't make me make a call to my pal Vinnie at 'Kneecaps 'R Us'. I'm just saying.

[MadeinNZ]

Ok - I'm probably breaking some rule by posting straight after myself (oh yeah - I'm bad).



Update#3 is done and winging its way to the Vegas Kittens. It details where to meet, when and gives lots of yummy stuff about the dinner. We've put together a shortened version of the full menu ( a special "Kitten" menu as it were) to help the kitchen cope with the numbers.



My exciting news of the week is that the national airline (Air New Zealand) has been given notice of an employee strike on the day I fly out. Bastards. I'm all for unions, as long as they don't inconvenience me. So I'm making some alternative arrangements (that hopefully don't mean a diversion through Mongolia or Outer Somewhereinthemiddleoffrigginnowhere).



As always, feel free to drop me a line with any Vegas related stuff.

Would it be too much to ask that the Vegas bound Kittens give me a ring on my cell now and again to say "HI"?

Love is tricky. It is never mundane or daily. You can never get used to it. You have to walk with it, then let it walk with you. You can never balk. It moves you like the tide. It takes you out to sea then lays you on the beach again. Today's struggling pain is the foundation for a certain stride through the heavens. You can run from it but you can never say no. It includes everyone."--Amy Tan "The Hundred Secret Secret Senses"

ooohhh.... nikki and her spreadsheets...

Ahh nicky, your reputation is well earned now!



And toni, phones calls are not too much to ask at all!

I just got all excited for a second because American airlines is doing a super-saver weekend fare from Boston to Las Vegas for a good price and I was thinking I might actually be able to go but then I looked at the date the good price is for, and it's the weekend right before the right one.

Well you know, La, I'm sure Nicky could use the company seeing as how she's arriving in Vegas DAYS before everyone else (you can thank me later, Nick )

[MadeinNZ]

Toni mate, are you saying that getting to the venue four days before everyone else is taking organisation to a new high (or low)?



Someone has to pace out the number of steps from the lobby to the bar. And work out whether you can actually get arrested for running naked down the strip. *Sigh* such is the burden of responsibility.

Edited by: MadeinNZ at: 1/28/03 9:30:38 pm

[AlexisMQ]

Nicky - Do we need to start a bail fund now? If you are running naked down the strip, it might be prudent.



Four days early isn't bad.... just making sure that Vegas is ready for us!



As for how many steps to the bar.... when they are sober they aren't counting the steps and when they are drunk they most likely can't remember! *laugh*

[MadeinNZ]

I don't think we'll need a bail fund. More like a medical fund to reimburse people who sustain an injury by covering their eyes while running away screaming.

Edited by: MadeinNZ at: 1/28/03 11:27:56 pm

[tiyodragon]

Hey Nicky,



We already have a kitten bail representative, Lael. She is the keeper of the bail money for the Dallas kittens...couldn't be in safer hands.



Are you going to do a spreadsheet listing all the room numbers? It would be helpful in case of extreme drunkenness. Kittens would have many landing spots to choose from.

[Kieli]

Well Nicky, yanno, one might think that's taking organisation to a whole new level....coughanalcough... . Or one could say that would give the organiser of such a grand even a little me-time to get a lap dance or two, check out all the hottie cocktail waitresses (and them outfits are SKIMPY...I said so in my fic )...and of course there's the getting arrested before everyone else just so's you can warn unsuspecting Kittens before it happens....not that I've ever done that or anything

I hang my head in shame and hand in my 'Anal Retentive Organisers Guild' badge. Which is OK actually cause the bumper sticker was shite. It said - 'Anal Retentives do it up '...um...nevermind.
