Okay, in light of the Denver Dopers gathering two weeks ago (poor Athena) and Veb’s experience this last weekend in Chicago, the name of the group will be **The Adam’s Reunion** I don’t want to see anyone get screwed because of some dingleberries. If it sounds more family like, people may pay more attention. Cecil, hope you don’t mind us using your last name, but Doper’s just doesn’t seem like a good choice even in a city like Vegas. Here’s the Yes I can make it list: Sassy Demo and psy Me UncaBeer Ultress dragonlady Shayna BluTwilight Zyada TVeblen (Veb) Mr. Cynical Catrandom GaWd Grace Highlander, Melin and kids (did I miss anyone?) B\_line (you count, but since you live there…😉 ) The tentative are: Cristi Irishman pricciar – you weren’t totally clear Narile the Scarlet Pimpernel SINSapple Falcon Sue Duhnym purplebear weirddave Silo (did I miss anyone?) Don’t forget to email me 🙂 ---

I’ll be there! My boss gave me the days off to do this, even though she’s a little doubtful about the board. (The “Funny things said during love making/intimate moments…” thread just _had_ to be at the top when I showed her MPSIMS!) Anyway, the exchange rate is bad enough right now to make me think of saving money, so if anybody is looking to share the room, please mail me at the address in my profile. M/F would be OK, smoker is fine unless I quit again before then, non-smoker is OK too (I prefer to smoke outside), should probably tolerate snoring since I’ve been accused of that. ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > > Hey Opal, think you can make t shirts for us 😉 > \*\* I’m only making shirts for a get together that I attend. I said way back the first time it was brought up that I would absolutely NOT go to Vegas, especially in the summer. It is one of the most miserable locations known to man, and it’s extremely expensive besides. At least it was 3 years ago when I went. I just about starved to death because I couldn’t afford the damn food! ---

Aww, man… I’d love to go, I really would (I’ve never been to a 'Doper’s convention), but I’m young, poor, and… well… shy… and socially awkward… so, chances are, I won’t be there. But I still want all you guys to have fun! Take pictures! And when y’all get back, put up a website, so’s I (and others that can’t go) can see your pretty faces and enjoy the event after-the-fact! After all, we antisocial people need SOME way to pretend to have a life, right? ---

Time to bump this up again. Techchick’s working really hard to make this happen and to make sure everyone has fun. She’s even researched things to do if you don’t gamble (or can’t afford to gamble the whole time). [http://www.lasvegas24hours.com/visitor/aa\_attr.html](http://www.lasvegas24hours.com/visitor/aa_attr.html) She’s organizing pizza and beer parties, and nekkid pillow fights, too! Friday Sept 1 - Monday Sept 4 Everybody sign up!!! ---

Except out on the west side of Vegas, in little trailers. ---

You can add me to the tenative list. I’m thinking that by the end of August I’ll need a vacation. ---

I’ll probably be there. I’m always looking for an excuse to party, not to mention if Ruffian, Shayna and so many other wonderful ladies make it I’d be a fool to miss out. Here’s to hoping none of my dumbass friends plans bachelor parties or weddings on Labor Day. ---

If I have, PLEASE email me so you can get on the list. I am waiting for the sales rep to call me with the confirmation code. I will then email everyone with the correct 800 for reservations in the main tower. Sorry you can’t come Opal…as I have stated, there are ways to save money in Vegas (I know the preference is to not eat fast foods, but you can do that and diners are cheap and can be paletable (sp)) If anyone is wanting to go, tenative or not, please email me at [sdvegas@cwcm.net](mailto:sdvegas@cwcm.net). \< techchick is saving all her change to cash in before the trip \> [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/world-wide-dopers-unite-important/19472.md?page=3)
