Would you go? If Max Barry paid for it in Las Vegas?

If he paid for my flight and the accommodation as well, then maybe.

Maybe.

I'd probably get murdered and my body buried in the desert :S










so.. yeah... of course...

When the high speed railways are built, count me there.

God, you're so environmentally unfriendly. I'm walking to the coast, then swimming the Atlantic, then walking across America.

yeah, but flights over there would kinda put me off.

I don't think Max Barry would or maybe even could pay for it; but if it was possible.. totally.

Given the stereotypical personality of people from teh internets, I guess everyone would be standing in groups of one, equidistant from each other across the convention hall, no one wanting to talk to anyone else.

I AM being environmently friendly. I'm a litterbug so it's best to keep a waistbasket near me and I don't think the landscape should be flooded with waistbaskets, just to appease me.

Hmm, with proper planning and application of physics, I could probably bounce off each of you like a big game of pinball.

Nah, they'd all be following the one or two women around from a distance.

If somebody came to talk to me, I'd probably mumble something about having to be elsewhere, and walk off.

But, yeah I would attend it. When I'm 18.

But what would you even have at the convention?

ive been to an internet "convention" in vegas in the past. sure id go again. id even pay my own costs.

Chips and dip.

And a cardboard cut out of Eminent Russian American Philosopher and sex kitten Ayne Rand.

And several guys hired to impersonate the "Aw jeez, not this shit again!" picture.

Whenever the conversation got on to the stimulus plan and Obama's 'socialism', abortion, or why the gays are super-mega-evil, they'd come over and pose, while someone else comes along and holds a speech bubble next to him.

Or, we could just get a few jug sculls going.

Air Fare and hotels are cheap in Las Vegas. If we are going to do something like this now is the time.

As soon as I know what it means I am down with that!

Well, first we need a really big spring with a platform for you to lie against.

Id definitely try, but, unless they have it here, then I probably wont have the money, :(

I'd attend, but only if everyone wore shirts with their NSG name on them. "Heey, Skallvia!"
"I'm not Skallvia."
"Oh, erm... Sorry."

I'm sure I can cobble something together. :)

Yep. I don't know that I'd require everything to be free either, but certainly heavily subsidized.

something like 20 dollars a person to get in

I'll be the guy sitting in the corner. :(

yeah.. like that will ever happen in Las Vegas!

Now... Crystal...

Then I will get you drunk and send you to your hotel with a hooker.

As soon as the guy with the New Mitanni shirt walked in, he'd probably be physically assaulted by about 20 people.

:p

Waistbaskets? Is that where liposuctioned fat goes, or is that a carrying device you wear like a belt?

Or did you mean "wastebasket"? Don't get me wrong, I like your idea.

But what would you even have at the convention?

Arguments?

If there was a guarantee of appearances by Neesika, Bottle, Dakini, Smunkeeville, Dempublicents1, Nanatsu, Muravyets, LG, Cat Tribe, Neo Art, Trve/KoL, Katganistan, Kryozerkia...basically a critical mass of ass-kicking posters...I'd be there.

Does Dakini post anymore? I haven't seen her in ages.

I've seen her post a few times in the last two weeks. I think she picks her moments, and picks them well.

and you will also post my bail then? ;)

God(dess) help Las Vegas. *plots.*

An all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas

Two words; Fuck Yeah!!

If somebody came to talk to me, I'd probably mumble something about having to be elsewhere, and walk off.

But, yeah I would attend it. When I'm 18.

Better to go when you are 21, that way you can drink and gamble.

"I'm not Skallvia."

Awesome idea, actually it would be interesting to see how some of these people act in public.

You really should wear one saying "The smartarse comedian"

No, it is all being charged to Max Barry's credit card.

Don't know if Max can get away with paying for a stripper. His wife keeps a pretty short lease on him.

In my experience when something goes on a credit card for these sort of things it usually goes down as something like "Las Vegas Hospitality"

No really, she asked Sin to hold it for her once when he was out for walkies.

Actually Kat, Max Barry and NS is going to set a new precedent.

Perhaps we can have the Mods do autographs?

There are also different levels of Trekkies. There are those that go to the conventions to recapture the nostalgia of their past and there are those that have traditional Klingon weddings. :p

Considering that tickets from Fargo to Las Vegas are under $100 or something crazy cheap like that, hell yes I'd consider!

Air Fare and hotels are cheap in Las Vegas.

If you're savvy with your internet-fu, you can probably get three nights and round trip airfare for under $250, depending on where you stay.

If this should ever somehow get off the ground, I'm totally in.
