I should start a poll:
Who Will Sleep Whom At The 2008 DT.Com gathering? Cast your votes now!
Jon and livestock...
Match of the century?
Why does it have to be in Vegas? I don't have three thousand dollars to spare.

Its just in Vegas this time, who knows what will happen in the future.

No matter where it is, people will have to travel.
Looking at the map, Pittsburgh is close to lots of members, but who would want it there?
The last meeting of people who like King and the Dt series was on the East Coast, so this time it's in Vegas.
Perhaps the next time it will be in San Francisco
Anyone who votes for me and Dora sleeping together should have a sure bet.
Even though we've already done it in Nevada (on our 50 state "do it" tour)

I'm going to try to sleep with Patrick.

I may have to sleep in my car, but I'm going to give it all I can to attend.
The answer is within

If its going to be on mainland USA (which makes sense for obvious reasons) then LA would be the best city if we ever could make it to the states. Diem wants to go back so im definitely not ruling it out. 2009 or 2010 maybe.
Although if we come, keep in mind we're forsaking having kids for a few years to meet you fuckfaces
Edit: I like the san fran idea aswell, its pretty much the same cost from Aus and is closer for the Canananananadians

Sucks when you have to chose between party and family
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Its hard, we want to do stuff to the house and want to travel and want to have kids
I guess the best order to do that in would be to travel, but try and be thrifty or something, and have kids / do house up at the same time. The house is always an ongoing project so that is probably the thing that can wait.

I had my kids very young and had to wait until my late 30's to travel. Your way may make more sense.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Yeah, having kids young is definitely restrictive but you have more time later on, and you're more financially secure aswell.
With the travel thing - part of me wants to see the States because of the amount of reading and cultural references etc which involve the USA, its almost a little overwhelming when you think about it, and a small part of me feels like a bit of a charlatan if I haven't been there to fully appreciate where this stuff is coming from, you know?

I think the next one should be in Colorado and people can stay at the Stanley Hotel. I think my spare room has already been commandeered by Erin and Lisa.

i wish this was sooner. i do much better making spur of the moment decisions.
People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
I do too
The whole planning shit out makes me have second thoughts and ruins the spontaneity.
The hotel is VERY cool. They used to have a bit of a Stephen King shrine there, but I think they took it out in the last remodel. The bar is extremely cool, however, and was featured in the movie "Dumb and Dumber".
Stupid movie, but the bar scenes give you a good idea of how it looks.
Plus, you haven't lived until you've seen elk cross the street with the traffic lights.
