Title: Las Vegas Trip
Post by: shoegirl on March 19, 2006, 05:36:53 pm
Hi!

A few months ago, there was some talk of everyone getting together (or rather those who want to) for some fun in Las Vegas? Did you all go and forget to tell me? lol! ;D  I was just wondering if anyone is still interested?

Shoegirl - Thats's right! I think Josh/Jhager wanted us all to come to Vegas. Since he lives there he said he would make our arrangements. Where are you Josh?

 How about you all make it around Sept. 12 and you are all invited to help me and my hubby renew our vows for our 25th. I am looking into the Elvis Chapel or the Bellagio. I would love to have you as my bridesmaids. I need to have a bachelorette party too!

Gennysmom, I just noticed that your next appointment was today.  Did everything go well for you?

Well, never been to Vegas and would certainly be up for mischief/mayhem there, as long  as "it stays there" ;)  Will be my 1/2 bday at that point, so barring complications, count me in! :)

oooh I live in Vegas too! That would be so fun to have an AN convention here. We need a uniform (like the Red Hats), maybe the earring or ribbon thing! I know you guys will think of something fun to wear! ;D

SKT, thanks for asking, it went as expected.  I will be planning Translab for mid-summer and I get to keep my June European vacation!!

Gennysmom - great to hear it.  Hope you have a great holiday.

I'm from Australia - but i'm in on a Vegas trip if it gets organised!!

You're from Australia too?  So is Larry!  Hope you're surviving the cyclone well! 

If everyone goes in Sept I'll probably have to live vicariously with you all, I'll be still recovering.  If I'm all better, I'm there tho!!!!

Gennysmom - i live south - in South Australia - so I'm well away from the storm, as will be Larry.  Horrid stuff though. 

Which month are you having your op in?  You may still be able to make it to Vegas.......
Title: Re: Las Vegas Trip
Post by: Gennysmom on March 21, 2006, 10:45:46 am
Probably somewhere mid July to early August.  At least with me being not to far from LV, I can make a last minute decision if something really gets going there. 

The cyclone is on all the news channels here, sounds like although the initial loss of life is minimal, the destruction is bad.  I hope the reef faired well.  Has been a bad year plus for this kind of stuff between the tsunami and our hurricanes. 

One of these days I need to make it down under.

I checked out your frappr page, LOVE the outfit!! (I'm gonna guesse that's the cruise wear too-I haven't read the entire "Good Morning" thread). I can just imagine an AN convention decked out so well.  :D

I was just at a Billy Joel concert last night, had a great time.  What concert are you going to?
Title: Re: Las Vegas Trip
Post by: matti on March 21, 2006, 05:57:11 pm
Seeing as how we will be wearing our wench outfits to Vegas, I guess it is only proper that we stay at the Treasure Island Resort. They have a huge pirate ship out front with some fine looking swashbucklers already on board.

Good plan on the resort!!!  I like it!!!!  I'm really going to have to work on a speedy recovery!!!!

I'm off to "Meet Virginia" with "Drops of Jupiter" at the Train concert.  Like I said before, Pat Monaghan can do a kick butt "Dream On" and "Ramblin Man".  And they're playing in our Opera Hall.

OK, and this is TOTALLY hokey, but has anyone heard Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten"....not most everyone's genre of music, but feeling this is my anthem of late, sure you can relate..."feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you, no one else can let it in, no one else, no one else, can speak the words on your lips, drench yourself in words unspoken, live your life with arms wide open, today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten"

Concert was great last night!!!! 

Any of you Australians heard of a Missy Wiggins?  She was the opening act, said she was from Melbourne. 
Title: Re: Las Vegas Trip
Post by: SKT on March 23, 2006, 07:12:24 am
Yes, it's Missy Higgins - she's big stuff down here.  She's a singer songwriter.  I think she's great.

Post by: Gennysmom on March 23, 2006, 09:57:56 am
See, I was being good and had my noise cancellation headphones on and it sounded like Wiggins!!!  Very cool.  She did a very good job....said she was nervous, but I thought she did fine!  The audience seemed to really like her, and I saw some people go out afterwards and come back with her CD's.

I must get myself some of those head phones - however i already miss out half of what's put out there.......

I like them...at least pre-op anyway.   I feel like I'm doing something to keep any more damage from being done before surgery, and honestly, more than anything, being able to shut out the grand central station that I work in has done a lot to lessen my stress levels.  And it works great with my noisy parrots.  You can still hear people talking, it just lessens the ambient noise by as much as 15 Db.
