SUPREME annual meet (up-ended regurgitated) - re-vote

[file cabinet]

as a result of this poll, the choices have now been narrowed down a bit

if there were to be a meet, where would the ideal location be for you?

[Dr. Haight]

A train ride to Chicago sounds good to me.

[Madrigal]

Buenos Aires.

*impugns vote*

[mr. treat]

where is the form i need to fill out for forum travel grant expenses?

[nottaprettygal]

The Chicago people need to convince me why Chicago is sooooo great. I suspect it's winning only because of its convenience.

[FranG]

That's all INTPs care about, pragmatism :D

[MacGuffin]

In terms of $$$, Vegas is probably even more convenient. Plus... Vegas baby!

I wish there'd been a third, "any of these are fine with me," option.


/contrariness

[s0978]

any of them except chicago.


/not contrariness

[MacGuffin]

I find it interesting that my top three choices are now the top three for this thread.

Well not that interesting. Inevitable. Since I am always right.

Maybe I should just tell everyone the end result.

[ApeTheDog]

None. Move it into europe, and then ll come.

[Rajah]

I find it interesting that Rajah's top three choices are now the top three for this thread.

Well not that interesting. Inevitable. Since she is always right.Damn skippy.

[s0978]

Since I am always right.
riiight.

[MacGuffin]

Damn skippy.
Hey, it's no big deal you think like me.

I'm flattered. The sincerest form and all.


riiight.

Glad you agree too!

[Hustler]

You punkasses can go to your SUPREME annual meet in Chicago and have your fun, but I'll be hosting the ELITE annual meet in Las Vegas as an alternative for the cool people.

[bergenski]

It doesn't matter where it is, y'all just be sitting inside no matter what.

[cafe]

If non-INTP members are okay to come and teetotalers are not unacceptable, I can get to Chicago in four hours give or take.

[digesthisickness]

You punkasses can go to your SUPREME annual meet in Chicago and have your fun, but I'll be hosting the ELITE annual meet in Las Vegas as an alternative for the cool people.

good idea. and, i'll be hosting the SHITTY annual meet-up in "west 'by god' virginia". it's for the poor and/or class-resistant and will be funded by a bartering system. you bring booze, and i'll provide a floor for sleeping (the extra bedrooms will be party prizes) and food.

I don't really care for flying. So, it's very unlikely that I will be at any meetups that aren't in Las Vegas.

I'd still go to your party rather than go to vegas where hustler is working to obtain peoples money.

are you married to your cousin or anything cool like that?

Scott

[shum]

i could do new york.

and this should be an open poll. i dont have that much money so i would have to split a hotelroom with someone and i want to see what my options are.

[kuranes]

I'd still go to your party

no, i'm not cool by WV standards. :(

no, i'm not cool by WV standards. :(


Tell me about these West Virginee standards. . . . .

well, basically, it goes like this... if you have them, you aren't cool.

Think of it instead as a quest to find decent moonshine. If you found any, you would be a legend in your homelands.

[kuranes]

I'm sure you point out to them that you're OK with being hot, then.

(damn, i wish i was kidding)

We have family in WV. We were in Pipestem once at the lookout tower, and met this woman who told us a story of calling the hospital to check on her ailing uncle. The nurse she spoke to said "Who are you calling about?" Then when she told the nurse her uncle's name, the nurse said "Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit! That's my uncle, too!" (She didn't really say the part about the butter, but I thought it would be a cute West Virginny thing to say.)

[digesthisickness]

I'm sure you point out to them that you're OK with being hot, then.

ha. and :sadbanana:

mostly, i just try to stay under the radar.

I wouldn't have sex with the desert! Though maybe sex with dessert would be okay.


I don't think ice cream can do much damage to my privates.

It's probably easier for you to stay under the radar being "everywhere and nowhere". :sadbanana:

:)

i used to live close to pipestem. and, as cute and charming as that biscuit part could have been, the real conversation usually goes, "oh! he's my uncle too. did you hear about how he got sick? well, let me fill you in..."

until you want to blow your brains out for ever giving in to that feeling of obligation and calling, and instead are stuck with pretending to listen while you're really imagining someone calling about this nurse next week and that story starting with, "did you hear about how she ended up in here? well, it started out with a phone call from his niece..."

I could go for a trip to Chicago, my grandfather lives there and I should visit him more often anyways. If this happens during the summer when I have a little more disposable income, I would also go to New York.

It's been forever, I'm afraid--she's been out with the Greens. I don't know what brought this change on, though I wouldn't say it's for the better. I remember fondly when she was totally chill back on Turkey Hill.

And Oprah. Although they may be counted together.

Oh shit. I love Oprah. What if she's giving away cars that day!?

We've got real debauchery here. Not that glitzy tourist debauchery.

Meh. I'm not convinced. I think I'll just go hang out with Hustler in Vegas.

I love Chicago, but I must say you Chicago lovers really suck at selling the place.

Meh. I'm not convinced. I think I'll just go hang out with Hustler in Vegas.

The two of you may prefer different kinds of debauchery. Let's not be pastie. I mean . . hasty.

[MacGuffin]

Really suck!

[kuranes]

I love Chicago, but I must say you Chicago lovers really suck at selling the place.

If we're talking winter-time, I have to admit its a tough sell.

[attila_the_hunny]

I voted for Vegas, man.

[FranG]

I love Chicago, but I must say you Chicago lovers really suck at selling the place.

We don't need to sell Chi-town. That would only do injustice to the place. It has everything you'd ever want in a city, including FranG :D

[FranG]

If we're talking winter-time, I have to admit its a tough sell.

Different seasons; that's called diversity. We have various everything, even various climates. :thumbup:

[MacGuffin]

Really, really suck.

[s0978]

Really, really suck.
I actually think you're right this once.

shout out to fc!

[kuranes]

I find it interesting that my top three choices are now the top three for this thread.


Yes, you picked Chicago out yourself as a possibility.

Top three choices based on ease of travel, choice, and $$$:

Las Vegas
Chicago
NYC

[Hustler]

Meh. I'm not convinced. I think I'll just go hang out with Hustler in Vegas.

Leet. Scrabble + debauchery > Chicago.

[booyalab]

I love Chicago, but I must say you Chicago lovers really suck at selling the place.

how about the disproportionate # of people that come from the midwest? and the fact that everyone else is on one coast or the other and Chicago is a compromise?

[kuranes]

how about the disproportionate # of people that come from the midwest? and the fact that everyone else is on one coast or the other and Chicago is a compromise?

Which is exactly why it got the votes that it has so far.

If I could just snap my fingers and be somewhere, i probably wouldn't pick Chicago either.

[FranG]

^^^
Yep. Compromising is the key :)

[Hustler]

Compromise is for the weak! And for people who want to be lame in Chicago. In fact, I can't think of anything to better symbolize and sum up a Chicago meetup than "compromise."

[FranG]

What do the other places got that Chi doesn't? Why don't ya'll answer that.

[booyalab]

I think nyc is the most overrated city in the world and it's too far away, so there is a 0% chance i'd go if it was held there. There would be a slightly higher chance of me going if this was held in Las Vegas even though it's probably as far away as NY because I hate it less. Maybe a 10-20% chance. But there would be at least a 50% chance that I'd try to attend a Chicago meet.

if you want booyalab to go, vote Chicago. If you dont want to have a good time, vote New York.

[kuranes]

Compromise is for the weak! And for people who want to be lame in Chicago. In fact, I can't think of anything to better symbolize and sum up a Chicago meetup than "compromise."

Why limit it to the States, then ? Let's have it in Chiang Mai or Amsterdam or New Zealand ?

Also we got Homerun Inn Pizza here.

[FranG]

I'll go anywhere I don't care.

[Hustler]

I'll go if we have it in New Zealand, even despite my tremendous distaste for flying.

[booyalab]

excellent point. Let's have it at the exact opposite side of the world from Hustler.

[kuranes]

You realize who will be site coordinator ?

[nottaprettygal]

if you want booyalab to go, vote Chicago.

Well, that sort of makes me feel better about my Vegas vote.

Compromise may be the key for an ordinary meet-up, but this is the SUPREME annual meet-up. Fun times (and hookers) are the key.

[ajblaise]

Let's have it in .. Amsterdam ..

I'm sold. Everyone else secretly agrees with me.

well at least that means you dont think i'm a hooker. i guess that's something

[Avengardh]

None, although I like Chicago, but I'm not voting because I'm not coming, only observing.

[MacGuffin]

how about the disproportionate # of people that come from the midwest? and the fact that everyone else is on one coast or the other and Chicago is a compromise?
Seriously, if you midwestern people voted for Chicago cause it is closest to you - you are fucking lame!

I voted for the city farthest from me. I could've just driven up to NYC.

LAME.

Fuckin' hobbits.

ROAD TRIP!

Flights to Vegas are pretty cheap.

i have to admit i do want to go to vegas. Chicago just seems more sensible for me

[FranG]

Vegas for introverts? I'm still struggling with that one.

Anyway, I'm about to leave work and go to a Chicago rush hour traffic party. So many cars and people on Lake Shore Drive; we won't be able to move. You can mingle with all types of people. Just another selling point :) So, when I come back, I expect to see Chicago's vote doubled, ok :whistle:

[MacGuffin]

Way to SJ it up!

Nah, the hobbits will want to stay close to mommy and daddy home.

Can't venture too far now!

[Ivy]

Realistically I can't go to any of them, but unrealistically I'd probably choose Vegas. Simply because I've done NYC many times (though I love it dearly) and Chicago's too cold. But it DOES have kuranes...

[kuranes]

Thanks Ivy ! there's that, too. :)

Vegas - I'm thinking of the Albert Brooks movie where he tried to sell the pit boss on letting his wife off the hook as being a good PR move to show "the casino with a heart".

[booyalab]

Way to SJ it up!

Way to SP it up!

I may be a square, but at least I'm not using insults to manipulate other people into being stupid. :P

not that there's anything wrong with hobbits

[Rhu]

Nah, the hobbits will want to stay close to mommy and daddy home.

You just have to trick them into it. Get them to think they are just accomidating their guests by a jaunt over to Wal Mart the inn at Bywater, and then just a little further, just to see what's over the next hill, you know. Check out the action in the fields, maybe get them to talk about their fine tobacco growing traditions. Until you get them to Bree. Then you get them drunk, clobber them over the head with something big and heavy, and by the time they wake up, you're practically in the Misty Mountains.

[nottaprettygal]

but I'd ultimately waste more money in Vegas than in Chicago.

booya, don't be so pessimistic. The way I see it, we'll actually come out even in Vegas. First we'll win lots, and then we'll use it to cover our expenses (booze and hookers).

Plus, there's a good chance of a shot-gun wedding, and I don't want to miss that.

[booyalab]

Chicago's too cold. whoa. wait a second. is this supposed to happen really soon?

ok so you're suggesting that I marry Hustler the first day so I can take a bunch of his Poker earnings after we divorce a few days later?

[kuranes]

If we DID go to Vegas . . . . . .not that we will......but IF we did . . . . where would we stay ? cheap boring hotels like ( what was it last time I went ? ) Aladdin ? Or was it called "Sahara" ? All of us in one place getting a group discount ?

Okay I will NTP it up for you.

At this point in time, this SUPREME meetup is off in the future.

Wouldn't it be better to have this meetup, of potentially many people, in the most enjoyable place possible?

Don't get bogged down in details now. Sure NOW you don't have money, NOW no one has planned a road trip, NOW no one has rented a party bus, NOW no one has reserved a block of rooms on the Strip, NOW plenty of details haven't been worked out.

Think outside the box. Hold this meetup in an interesting place, we can work out the details and logisitics later. If we force ourselves outside our comfort zone, I'm sure we can come up with some interesting solutions. Open up to the possibilities.







Fuckin' hobbits!

[ptGatsby]

Vegas for introverts? I'm still struggling with that one.


Vegas kicks ass. I can't imagine why anyone would go out of their way to go to Chicago... I could see NY, but only cause of great hubness followed by stuff to do.

Nothing tops vegas for stuff to do. Especially if you don't spending some cash (doesn't have to be a lot but you can't mosey around in Vegas as easily).

Oh, and if anyone wants to bring the SO and needs a bargaining chip? Hugo's Cellar. Very nice restaurant... expect to pay a bit, but... yah. Oh, the spa at the Luxor was very nice too.

[file cabinet]

yeah.. I want to change my vote to Las Vegas

ok that's much better. the main non-detail problem now is that I'd much rather go to Vegas than NYC but it's losing miserably. Maybe we should try a supplementary Vegas vs. NYC poll

Edit: or a new poll in which you can choose multiple options

[Rhu]

Don't get bogged down in details now. Sure NOW you don't have money, NOW no one has planned a road trip, NOW no one has rented a party bus
The money and the bus would work itself out if we just stole the thing. We should get cracking on that now, so we can have all the documentation when we need it. And until we need it, I think we've found the perfect place to store it...

i've found my ride!
Right, digesthisickness? I mean, no one would come looking for it in West Virginia. And I'm sure you've got a nice secret place to hide things until they are needed.

[MacGuffin]

Whichever city wins out, I'd say make the meetup off in the future. Say, no earlier than next fall.

This gives people time to make plans, take off work, save money, steal buses, whatever they need to do.

We could even put it off till 2008. Nothing wrong with long range planning.

[Dr. Haight]

Whichever city wins out, I'd say make the meetup off in the future. Say, no earlier than next fall.Shit, two-thirds of the people voting won't even be here next fall.

[Rhu]

Shit, two-thirds of the people voting won't even be here next fall.

Which is why we should just call off the vote and set our sights on Vegas, because that's going to be the most fun.

[MacGuffin]

Shit, two-thirds of the people voting won't even be here next fall.
Doesn't matter.

That is the whole reason I started railing on people for picking Chicago out of convenience. I want people to look beyond their narrow needs/wants and plan something that someone not even around now would want to attend. Something that would get people that have left the site to attend.

SUPREME meetup.

This is a war campaign, not the little battle at the local Macaroni Grill.

[s0978]

yeah.. I want to change my vote to Las Vegas
okay I will too then.

[Dr. Haight]

okay I will too then.Done and done.

[digesthisickness]

Right, digesthisickness? I mean, no one would come looking for it in West Virginia. And I'm sure you've got a nice secret place to hide things until they are needed.


hell... no one even comes looking for WV, so you betcha! all i'd have to do is disguise it, and that's as easy as just taking the tires off, putting it on blocks, and renting it out to a family (thus making some trip money) during the interim.

[MacGuffin]

Who are the people voting for NYC? Care to state your case?

[s0978]

Done and done.
geez, what a J. on second thought, I... oh, whatever

[booyalab]

Done and done.

I will take a vote for Vegas AND Chicago, if you please. :D (I already have chicago, so add one to vegas)

[Dr. Haight]

geez, what a J. :P

Someone has to do the dirty work.

[kuranes]

I admit that Vegas is more interesting than Chicago, but Chicago is not just a larger version of Toledo, Ohio. Lots of restaurants, some of them world famous. Blues clubs. Hookers, for sure, if you've actually got the interest and money for that. Better comedy than many places - ( Saturday Night Live recruits from the Improv Olympics. ) Architecture. A waterfront. Museums. Subways and bus transport that is fairly comprehensive. Fancy hotels, if you want that, or hotels that are near the transportation grid which are fairly inexpensive.

In the city itself the red light "district" ( there isn't one ) with a couple exceptions, is restricted to a few mostly sleazy run-down little clubs. For some reason there is more support for that kind of thing out in the burbs.I hear that in some cities they manage these places so that its a more classy experience, and so partially attract a mixed crowd. Not here.

[Dr. Haight]

I will take a vote for Vegas AND Chicago, if you please. :D (I already have chicago, so add one to vegas)Nice try. :smooch:

[booyalab]

Nice try. :smooch:

wtf, as long as we're breaking the poll rules... COME ON

[Dr. Haight]

wtf, as long as we're breaking the poll rules... COME ONWho's breaking the rules. People can change their mind. I just want an accurate poll.

[booyalab]

Who's breaking the rules. People can change their mind. I just want an accurate poll.

yeah i changed my mind that it should be a multiple choice poll...just like everyone else is changing their mind that it should be a 'change your mind if you want' style poll. sheesh!

[bergenski]

Chicago has....wind?
Yeah, but not just any old wind...freezing wind!

[kuranes]

Yeah, but not just any old wind...freezing wind!

The wind here in Winter is nasty enough that they call it "the hawk".

Of course, it can be refreshing on a summer day, and this "supreme" meeting might be on a summer day. It's getting very loosey goosey when its actually going to happen. In the meantime it's going to be regional meetings I guess, and we'll have to see if we can out-do the Macaroni Lounge setting here in the windy city, as Mac was sorta encouraging, if that meeting ever shapes up.

Some of the emphasis should be placed on "things to do" but some should be on we ourselves just actually accomplishing it. Hopefully that will have some entertainment value of its own.

[Hustler]

WTF. If the actual SUPREME meetup happens here, then how am I supposed to host the too-cool-for-school ELITE meetup? If this trend continues, I'm going to have to go to Chicago to host the ELITE meetup, and that would be kind of lame, because I don't want to go to Chicago.

[kuranes]

You can wear some gold lame in the Bill Murray Vegas lounge, microphone in hand.

I'm still waiting on your Vegas recommendations. Cool clubs. Inexpensive places to stay that aren't dumps etc. ptGatsby has told us more about Vegas than its native.

[meshou]

I like Chicago. I lived there. This is bumfuck nowhere compared to Chicago.

I used to be able to find anything I could possibly want in three blocks. Anything. Sushi. Bras. A museum. A slum. Some mansions. Anything. But they roll up the sidewalks at eleven, which is unforgiveable.

The only parts of Nevada worth mentioning have 24 hour all you can eat sushi and legal prostitution, which does make it slightly more civilized, I guess. But I can't afford to go, and Chicago will probably be a short drive. Maybe.

Unless I end up in Reno or Tubac or Pheonix much sooner than I expect. Or end up in Pittsburgh unexpectedly. My life, so messy.

[bergenski]

Yeah, but I don't think the meetup is likely to happen on one of those three days. More likely stuck in the steamingness.

[kuranes]

I have an idea, why not have three meet ups in people's homes and webcam chats linking em or something? That way we could mingle, ander over to the webcam and say hi to our international buddies and the dudes partying across the country. It'd be awesome if we could get thirty or forty of us joining the "party," even if it's in three smaller groups.

Edit: I also demand Helios and Hustler be at whatever meet I end up at. Because.

[kuranes]

That'd be an idea. If I ever get one of those cams-for-the-desk set-ups. Remember the "Post Your Voice" thread ?

Meanwhile those interested in a Chicago meet-up needn't dismiss the idea. Here at Kuranes' Poetry Corner, we sometimes discuss "the city not taken", and it makes all the difference. Call it "the Silver Meet-Up" vs. "the Supreme Platinum" or what have you. I have already met with fc and Rivercrow and Sdalek here. Just missed Corporate Whore by a whisker the other week. Wiki and Hustler have spoken of dropping in some time, too.

Wherever we met at, how would we go about organizing it? Would we stay at a particular hotel and have INTPc activities schedule for each day kinda like a family reunion? You know have a dinner or some other event for a few hours with just INTPc folks; the other time could be spent solo exploring the town or doing whatever.

How about this:

Start a thread for each of these three cities and let people figure out where they want to go. Put a date poll in after a few posts (after some dates are suggested). This gives people a chance to talk specifics, this also will let us know who would go to multiple locations for example, I could go to New York, Las Vegas or Chicago but I prefer Chicago. If the other two threads had more activity then Chicago then I may jump in there, but if I'm only forced to pick one, it is Chicago.

So you start a thread
-People start posting dates...
1st weekend of June
Last Weekend of July
Last Weekend of August
then put in a (CHECKBOX poll)

Some people can only go to one (Kuranes in Chicago) some people could go to all three... in either case, let those interested in those locations haggle about times, places, and all that. One solid winner may come out of that better then arbitrary voting (as people choose to go to the Las Vegas and the New York or some other combination due to time/place constraints).

If not one winner then there isn't any reason to prohibit all three locations, especially when the climate of these three places are so different. Chicago would be great to visit in June, Las Vegas in November. No reason why some people wouldn't go two different places

Jimmy Carter was on Jay Leno last night. He said that he and his wife like vacationing in Panama. I've never heard what its like as a vacation spot - just "See the canal", "remember Noriega?" etc. I imagined that seeing the canal locks in operation might be good for an hour or so, if you timed your look-see visit right.

Jay said that he heard Jimmy Carter flew like a regular passenger, even though he was a former president. He didn't ask "Coach or first class?"
"Wouldn't one of those corporate jet outfits just call you up?" asked Jay.
"Not since my book came out" joked Jimmy.

[Hustler]

Here are some potential events that could be incorporated into a Las Vegas meetup:

First Fridays Gallery/Pub Crawl (http://www.firstfriday-lasvegas.org/)

A Saturday afternoon trip to the Valley of Fire state park. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Fire_State_Park) It's about 45 minutes northeast of the city. I can drive, but someone else (maybe more than one, depending on how many people show) would have to be up for renting a car or driving to LV for the meetup. Stargazing is good there if we were to stay until the evening.

Catching an Uberschall show at the Double Down Saloon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uberschall) This usually happens on the last Sunday night of the month, so it would be an either/or thing with First Friday, and it would require people being able to stay until Monday. It's extremely cool to see, though (and free), and the Double Down Saloon itself is a pretty cool dive bar, complete with an Asteroids machine and a great jukebox.

The fountains at Bellagio. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bellagio-front.jpg) These are best viewed in the evening, when the sun is down and they are lit up. Also free. They also have a great gelato place located conveniently close to the street where the fountains are best viewed.

Live music and a kind of cool atmosphere at this Irish pub (http://www.mcmullansirishpub.com/). There are lots of other Irish pub possibilities as well. We are innundated with them, really.

Incredibly low-stakes gambling at The Western Hotel and Casino (http://www.westernhotelcasino.com/), the biggest shithole, crackhead-infested, beers in cans and drinks in plastic cups, toilet of a casino right in the middle of the shittiest part of downtown Las Vegas. Still, though, $1 blackjack. Or maybe $2. An easy walk from the main area of Downtown Las Vegas, though very sketchy.

Gameworks (http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/gameworks.html) at the MGM Grand.

Going down to Sunset Park (http://lasvegas.about.com/od/familyhealthliving/a/SunsetPark.htm) and playing bocce ball or some other leisure sport, taking a chess set, some booze, whatever else, and lazing around.

Get EnglshIvy lapdances from hot girls at any of dozens of Las Vegas strip clubs.

Drink, gamble, do a ton of coke and/or other drugs, and wander up and down the Las Vegas strip and see what happens. Bail C-Whore out of jail if necessary.

Anyhow, those are some things that could be done on the cheap. Any would serve as nice anchors for a weekend-long meet-up. The majority of each individual's time would be spent doing what he wants with specific people of his choice and/or family. One or two (optional) group-wide events would just serve to put names to faces and force us to E a little bit. Side events could be stuff like:

Drop attila off at The Adult Superstore (http://www.reviewjournal.com/bestoflv/2006/LongReturns.jsp?bestID=8724&shortList=true) and pick her up a few days later.

Hang out at Hustler's Place (http://forums.intpcentral.com/showpost.php?p=411928&postcount=39) and play Scrabble as per my ideal meet-up (http://forums.intpcentral.com/showthread.php?t=14725), then go out and get hammered.

Hang out in MacGuffin's hotel room and order non-stop booze from room service.

Play poker at the Bellagio's poker room

Go see a show or hit up a great restaurant, of which there is no lack in either department in Las Vegas.

Art galleries and family-friendly attractions (Imax, arcades, roller coasters, and so on) at all of the major casinos.

Get Imperator laid.

[cjs55]

I could (and likely would) drive down to Vegas for a SUPREME meet-up, as long as I had enough notice and it was during a weekend.

[amazingkae]

In terms of $$$, Vegas is probably even more convenient. Plus... Vegas baby!

http://www.tccandler.com/Swingers_Vegas_Baby.jpg

Flights to Chicago and New York form just about anywhere are usually pretty cheap, but junkets to Vegas and flying into McCarran is so much easier and more fun... Hustler makes the most convincing list--plenty of places to escape from, or to, depending on who you are and who you decidedly would like to meet. There is just always someplace easy to go in LVS and something cool to do.

For alternate transportations, Amtrak runs some pretty decent deals up the east coast and back and forth across the countryside, so a multi-destination pass might be the ticket for anyone needing to write a business trip off (stopping in along the way) or to justify their commute by catching a glimpse of family along the railway. They run to all the major cities for those of us posting from the East coast (Chi, DC, NY, ATL), so wherever you live, it is pretty easy to hop on. I have not done the train gig from the West coast, but I know people who do it all the time and they report it is much easier than to fly or go through the hassle of them screwing around on a plane with what you can or cannot carry on (for privacy issues).

And again, there has got to be some merit to the natural geography around Vegas that give it some international "ya gotta se this" clout... The Valley of Fire is awe-mazing (even if you just chill and camp out and wander about to catch glimpses of the petroglyphs and the multi-generational graffiti). Decent camping gear, and I would expect you could have a shindig under the stars for a night that would be talked about for years...

To promote Las Vegas anytime for a meetup seems absolutely right; as a mid point in the continent repleat with blinky lights, showgirls, high class dives and low class delicacies, rooms with rates from by the hour up to the pretty penny five star... from a hosting standpoint the city really does have something of merit to offer to everybody. All we need is one clever card counting INTP good with statistics to play the odds and divine the evolutionary fates for us and maybe even win us a block of comp rooms! Then, everything in the universe would be perfect and all that "stays in vegas" would be good. :banana:

MacGuffin, you can certainly PM everyone from DC and organize an RV carpool... :smooch: You and atilla and whomever else is on the east coast to ride along can start to drink--we'll come visit, pick you up and drive. :vroom vroom: That way, no one has to ever set foot in Jersey. :shudder, too: NOTES: I'm gonna be tied up and off posts for a while, but I'll still be lurking about... so somebody please PM if any real plan (or plan of action) finally comes around! Don't forget, somebody needs to pick up Helios and EnglshIvy, too, whenever the big road trip comes around! An INTPcentral party without them would be like life without food.

[cjs55]

That is not a bad idea. Of course having only one place would force more people to show up and interact that wouldn't otherwise happen.

Hustler's list is what I was expecting from a Chicagoland poster for Chicago attractions. Navy pier, Sears Tower, Magnificent Mile, art museums, bars near Wrigley Field, etc...

[hardkar]

I have not read the thread but...

We could do this in a very mathematical way.
So where does the users live. Who are the most active. Geography, who has the easiest route (in time) to the center point we are searching. As many parameters as possible.
So a user has different advantages against other users. Lets say an active user with 500 posts is "worth" more than a user with only 13. So to make these two users on the same level the 13 post user have a longer travel time distance to the center. The distances are in time so a flight and a walk could be seen as equivalent. Confusing, hard and annoying to count on this. But it will atleast make most of us happy, and we'll find the perfect location.

[nfinityi]

That is not a bad idea. Of course having only one place would force more people to show up and interact that wouldn't otherwise happen.

I didn't plan on going, so I don't care, but it seems as though narrowing it down to one single location, in a nation 1,000 miles North to South, 2,000 miles East to West, with 300 million people seems to defeat the purpose of getting as many people as possible to go to a meet up. Is there something lacking in an annual meet up? If not, I don't see the point.

Adrenochrome ? That's supposed to be some nasty shit.

Looks like Dr. H, FC, and CW are going to Vegas in March, so there's a snowball that can slowly gather some ...snow, or moss.

I haven't posted any hotel prices for Chicago because I don't have a feel for whether people want to go top hat or whether they want to "brown bag" it. I would be mostly going by the establishment propoganda, in my "scout report", as I rarely stay in hotels. There are places on the outskirts that are far less expensive but which involve commuting time.

An el train stretches out as far as O'Hare airport to the Northwest. Due to some construction in the loop, certain lines of the elevated have been recently slowed down. I'm pretty sure that the line which stretches to Midway airport ( South ) will be affected by that.

Come on k, you know that you want to go to Vegas. Just admit it.

And after that . . . book a ticket. :)

I would like to go. No question. My cash flow is such that I have to adopt a "wait and see" attitude, which is par for the course with me. Another reason I'm not more active in trying to be a whiz-bang central planner for a Chicago meet-up.

Save your pennies.

I'll challenge that: Sexworld in Minneapolis (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugar_high_823/160180365/)

everytime i've tried to go there on a whim I've forgotten my DL and only had a school ID :rant:

We could do this in a very mathematical way.
So where does the users live. Who are the most active. Geography, who has the easiest route (in time) to the center point we are searching. As many parameters as possible.It would be interesting to have a graphic representation of the distribution of posters geographically. Have a virtual globe and a little dot for each person (no names of course for secrecy) Maybe a different colored dot for INTPs and non-INTPs. It would be fun to see potential clusters the world over. Also a good strategy for your meet-up plans.
