Title: All of us
Post by: DirtyMustachio on October 31, 2013, 04:09:42 PM
I dunno how but matteo's pizza topic got me thinking how cool it would be if all us usuals were close enough to all hang out and play together.

We could order pizza and do all kinds of big multiplayers. Just seems like a lot of the people on here have a lot of good synergy lately!

Ha, nice. We could have stations where people could go up and hear lectures. Like someone talking about the history of mtg. And another reviewing the story timeline.

Could even invite kaleo in to do a talk about not sucking.

And coffee vampire would hit on some neat topics to I bet.

Where would we meet?  Renting convention halls is insanely expensive in Vegas...

There are tons of gaming stores in Vegas. I'm sure we could all meet at Little Shop of Magic, Heroes Playground or somewhere similar. I doubt we'd have the turnout for a convention center.

Must be nice. Where I'm at in NC right now, it's about $600 to fly round trip from the airport to back home in Chicago. To get decent rates, I'd have to drive 3-4 hours to another airport lol... Maybe I'd just road trip it lol

In '09 when I was planning a trip there, they had packages that included round trip air and four nights in a hotel. It was around $650 I believe. That was also four years ago though.

Yeah there's a really cool super salad buffet place called sweet tomatoes. They've got all of the vegitables. Lol I like there soups. And I almost like vegitarian mexican food better than with meat. Dem mushrooms.

Totally like the idea, but after planning several events at work and such.  20 people say "yes 100%", 4 people show up.  So honestly I think it would be better to keep it slightly smaller.

Semi related note, will be in Syracuse/Jamesville NY Dec. 21-29th if anyone would like to hang.  Shoot me a pm and we'll see if we can't make an arrangement.

Good idea for someone to resurrect this (forgot the title of it). I'm going to Virginia instead of North Carolina for this vacation. I've got a lot of things to do. :( I would have enjoyed a meet and greet. You can still find me on Magic Online! We can play there.
