Yeah, but we're all over the place. How would we pick where to meet?

A TnTCon would be so totally awesome.

Eeek! My comment was supposed to be a compliment!!! *throws hands up defensively* I thought the resemblance looked quite striking. It was supposed to be a good thing, honest.Distracted wrote:JadziaKathryn wrote:Does anyone else think that Priso had his stoic Malcolm Reed impression down quite well?
How would YOU look if you'd just found out that the event you'd just traveled over 2000 miles to get to (in order to make your pregnant wife happy because she's the most important person in the world to you even though you really aren't much of a Trekker) had just been cancelled?
Poor things. Both of them.
I hope they have an unbelievably good time at the Grand Canyon.

Double fun for those who like guns and bombs. Would take two days to get through. Actually T'Poptart's idea sounds good. Or isn't there some permanent Star Trek "Experience" in Vegas?

Wouldn't mind going back there again either...Or isn't there some permanent Star Trek "Experience" in Vegas?
Closing this year sometime IIRC.

but i am trying to piece together what happened and make some notes.
there are a lot of contradictions and most now seem to center around the hotel and some of the guests.
tim claims he paid the hotel about a week before the con 20,000 upfront but there is some info that says the hotel was not paid.
There was this cool bellman that helped me out all weekend that when I was leaving, said that when you have a convention of a certain size, you get the convention areas free as long as you bring in enough patrons - enough hotel rooms. He said anyway, that that number was not reached and that's why the hotel asked for more money. If Tim/his people are characterizing it as if they unfairly asked for more money, maybe they just didn't read the fine print and didn't know that if they didn't have X number of patrons, that they'd have to pay for the room. Who knows.
I'm sure I could just jog over to TrekUnited and all of this would be being blared all over their page. At least their version, anyway.
