Disclaimer FWIW, since my "incident" last year I don't get around as well as I used to. Had to use a freaking scooter in, Disney much to my chagrine. But if you will all be patient I'll make it to every stop I'm sure. Canes and Uber will do the trick!! lol

trying NOT to picture Bill scooting around to meet everyone...

Hi All-
My wife and I are driving in on Saturday afternoon - probably around 2 or 3. She might not want to meet with all you smelly old guys but I'll be free any time on Saturday and/or on Sunday to meet up. As long as there's a craps table some where close, I'm up for any place others decide (at least till I run out of money!).

If I'm understanding right, Bill will be in Sat. evening. I think he's staying at the Golden Nugget. (Bill, - Since you want to try a buffet, I believe there's a decent one at the Nugget so you might not need to go 'out & about' too much). Pretty much any casino/hotel you go to is going to have good carpet for 'scooters'!!! :emot-butt::lol1:

Last time I was out there (years ago) there was a pretty nice FREE show downtown starting around dusk on their outdoor mall. I hear there is a new 'Mob Museum' in that area also.

If anyone has an interest, I have a slipcase for a 1st Carrie I'm bringing along ... not to sell, just to give away for goodwill. If more than one wants it, maybe 'Hi Card Wins"?

Thats really cool! Thanks Dick. Is it ok If I bring the deck of cards? ;) (also we should definitely do this on SATURDAY night.... :evil: )

Patrick, Paul, Shac and Dick (maybe Shannon?) , As we are all there on the Saturday, lets go for meeting at the Venetian - I'd love to see the book store. I'm sure we wont have too much trouble finding somewhere to eat and drink after that. I'll PM my Cell to everyone.

Looking forward to this!

4 pm at the Venetian works for me as well. I don't know all the options but there's a Mecican food place if anyone wants to grab a bite or wants a cerveza or a margarita like I will.

so a quick check on Google maps shows the MGM is a 10 min taxi ride or about a 30 min walk to the Venetian. It's straight up the Strip, so I'll probably walk up and see the sights.

Does anyone know the Venetian well? Do we meet in the Foyer or is there someplace obvious? We should all probably wear a single red rose......:evil:

Google street view is awesome! I just virtually walked the route from MGM to the Venetian... :)

Looks like there is a nice area just outside the lobby door, I suggest we meet here...

P.S. I always angle for Mexican food.

Inside somewhere sounds good. Along those lines - I'd re-think walking to the Venetian .... Las Vegas is why god made air conditioning!!! I'm sure you could make it but if you do you're a better man than me! Those blocks are a LOT longer than they look and, like Patrick says, 107F temps take a lot out of you!

I'll be waiting with an ice cold Negro Modelo Beer in hand!

A Table at the Mexican Restaurant (http://canonita.com) inside The Venetian has been booked by Paul for 4pm. We plan to eat then go visit the Bauman Rare bookstore then finish up at a bar somewhere.
we have made allowances in the booking for extras so Shannon if you can make it that would be great.

Right now it's me , Zelig, Shac, Patrick and Dolso.

Bill: assume you are getting in too late for this, so will see you on Sunday!

My wife says the Mexican food makes up for the old men and she'd like to join us ... can we make it Dolso +1 also?(I think she just wants to shop at some of the Grand Canal stores ... there goes my Craps money!)

If you really want to walk it then schedule a little more time so you can occasionally duck inside and cool off.

We met the last two times that Simon came from the UK to Orlando. The thread was about the last Orlando trip which morphed into Simon's trip this year to Las Vegas and meeting up there.

I might still Priceline a plane ticket and show up. :orely:

Shannon I'll be sleeping on your couch. :wtf:

Shannon
06-02-2016, 08:34 PM
It's getting hot hot HOT here recently. Drink lots of water, seriously. People pass out here every day from lack of water. Even if you're not a water drinker, just drink a bottle every now and then for the hell of it.

If you're taking the "walking route" I see above, it passes by a Denny's in the Casino Royale. Busiest in the world. But please, don't go there. A) All the cooks and managers suck, and B) It'll be about a half hour wait to get in, a half hour wait for your food --if you're lucky-- and most likely, you'll get shitty service. I left that Denny's six months ago and have not been happier. Take my word for it, please.

I should should should be getting off work AT four on Saturday, and then it'll take forty-five minutes to an hour to go home, shower, get dressed, and drive to the Venetian and see you guys. You'll all still be there at five, right? I'll be keeping in touch with St. Patrick. Anyone that wants to sleep on my couch/floor on Saturday is fine, but I've got to have everyone gone at 9am on Sunday so I can get to work. Not that I don't trust you all or anything, lol. And remember, if I drive you back to my place Saturday evening/night, you'll have to find your own way to wherever you're going the next morning.

What's the plan after the pm/5pm meetup?

Thanks for sharing! Wonderful to see everyone! Were there any nice SK treasures at Baumans at that time worth mentioning that they brought out for you?

Shannon
06-06-2016, 04:37 PM
Bauman is always nice to go in and look at, but no matter what they have in there, it's going to be overpriced. Whether it's worth $100 and priced at $800 or worth $25,000 and priced at $112,000.

zelig
06-06-2016, 04:48 PM
They had a few signed King books. There was a copy of The Shining priced around $3K if I'm not mistaken.

Bauman Rare Books must cater to impulse buyers and people who don't know much or anything about rare books. I've been to their store on Madison Avenue in NYC and the one at the Palazzo in Las Vegas. I found both to offer books in very mediocre condition for very inflated prices. The rent at both of those locations must be exorbitant so they must sell quite a lot of books but I don't know who actually buys at those prices. More shocking to me than the prices though was the below average condition for many of their books. I wouldn't want most of them in my collection even if priced fairly.

Apologies to all for the delay in posting back here, it's been a pretty full on couple of day after my work conference started!

It was an absolute pleasure to meet everyone on Saturday, a really great day/night with a very warm and friendly bunch of folks. It was also fantastic to finally meet Bill for breakfast on the Sunday. Special thanks to Shac for his unexpected gift and to Dick for the Wooden Carrie case. I finally have an original Dolso! :thumbsup:

I think all the pictures from Saturday have been posted and stupidly I forgot to take some more on the Sunday morning, sorry about that:(

I just got word today that next years conference will be back in Vegas (1st week June) so maybe we can do it again next year!

Patrick
06-08-2016, 10:41 AM
It was great meeting all you guys. I enjoyed our time on Saturday.

I agree with Bob's perspective on Bauman's. In fact, I was surprised to learn that in the day or two prior to our get-together, Bauman's had sold its mostly matching (numbered in the 700's) Dark Tower set. That thing had been priced way over market.

The cool thing about Bauman's was seeing first hand various other books that I don't collect but are meaningful to me, such as first editions of some of the Narnia books, Roald Dahl books (James and the Giant Peach), and others.

Simon, let us know the specific dates for next year and I'll mark my calendar.

So I just had my dates and flights confirmed and it's pretty much a repeat of last year. I fly in Sat afternoon (3rd June) and my conference starts in earnest on Sunday (4th) evening. That gives me Sat evening and Sunday morning- late afternoon as potential meet up times.

Anyone available on those dates?

This *should* also be our last year in Florida, so next year is probably off the cards too. I would however, like to thank you both (and others) for making the effort to travel on previous years, it's always great to meet up with other members of the site.

Potentially I will be in Vegas again this year (June) and possibly Boston next year.

No problem Simon, there will be other opportunities!
Let us know when you are in Vegas, I haven't been there in many years!
Question for you----have you worked on any new slipcases with Jeff?
I think we were talking about It, Danse, Skeleton and maybe Talisman?
Thanks!

Is there a Vegas trip this year? If so, when?

If there is, can there be a post outside of the Corner? I'm sure there are members who would attend but don't venture here too often.

Of course. If need be a post in Path of the Beam that links directly to the thread here would be fine.

The chances of me being in Vegas are very high (80+%)

Unfortunately I dont get confirmation until about 4 weeks before. If I AM there it will be from Saturday June 2nd to Weds June 6th.

Sat evening would be the best night for me, but I知 not ruling out Sun morning/afternoon/evening or Mon evening either.

As soon as I have 100% confirmation I値l let everyone know

This will almost certainly be the last time my conference happens in Vegas, next year will be somewhere else, possibly East coast.

I'd love to go to Vegas (never been) and I'm dying to check out the new Saw escape room.

Surprisingly I have just received confirmation of my attendance for this year. Normally I don稚 get informed until much later in the day.

So I will DEFINITELY be in Vegas from 2nd to the 6th June. However there is a possibility that I may be there a few days earlier as I知 involved in setting up one of the exhibits. I値l confirm any earlier arrival as soon as I know for sure, but the weekend of the 2nd is a definite.

So, is this DT meet-up happening for sure?

My flights are booked and dates and times are locked in.

I will be arriving in Las Vegas on Thursday 31st May @ 13:10.
I will be leaving on Weds 6th June @ 15:35

Evenings will be the best time for me, however I should be pretty flexible on Saturday/Sunday as most of the day should be free. Weds morning is probably a non-starter as I will need to be heading to the Airport a couple of hours prior to flying.

So - who's available? and when? :thumbsup:

I talk about that trip with my friends often. I remember smoking bud with Matt outside the hotel and then going up to the suite to talk to J. Lee. Then we all went out to dinner. Fuck that was awesome lol.

Will do.

My Boston trip will be on 31st May. If it happens (and I have no reason to think it won't) I'll be staying at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, Boston. I have a plan to extend my stay for a few days and go up to Maine and do the King tour.

I prefer a cold lager. Warm beer with twigs in it has never been my cup of tea... :evil:
