NJC 2006 dates are "official"

Kristie · February 10th, 2006, 20:00

We're going with the weekend of October 26-29th.

The reason for adding the 26th is so we can get a couple of tours going on and/or sim rides like we did last year plus Thursday night hotels are known to be cheaper and it may be easier to non-rev on a Thursday/Saturday vs a Friday/Sunday.

go ahead and give me your feedback for what you'd like to see go on and we'll see what we can do. we may do this as more of a meet & greet (no registration etc) and not so much as a "event" type thing, just not that sure yet - we'll see as the spring/summer go on.

Halloween weekend? Checked room rates?

Kristie · February 10th, 2006, 23:47

so far, about the same prices as last year...

some only show up to september right now but if you reserve early, then there really shouldn't be too much problem and we'll have some good halloween LV strip parties to attend!

Why the possible change from an official capcity to non-official? I like that it is kinda the annual JC social event of the calendar!

Kristie · February 11th, 2006, 14:24

well, not necessarily taking it out of "offical" capacity...it'd still be the annual social event of the year, we'd just be taking out the work of registration, goodie bags, nametags and so forth and making it more like a party like we did last year with sim rides or tours, maybe even door prizes, if we can get them.

with things just now starting to get stabilized in my corner (family issues), i might be able to do the work of registration but i'm not positive that I can handle it all and I just don't want to commit to that much work just yet.

In Vegas?

Understood. Glad to hear that things are better now. Lastly I think that the name tags is a good idea,short of that the name tag stickers that say "Hello My Name is." So that we can know who everyone is in case new people show up.

SeanD yes Vegas!

Works for me. I'll put the dates down. Max, this may be the year you get to room with me...ruh roh!

LOL, what cracked me up was people saying, whoa, dude, these long islands are strong. Weeeeeel, when you combine a shot of vodka, rum, gin, tequilla, and triple sec, it's gonna be like Samuel Jackson beer.

It'll get you [messed] up.

jtrain609 · February 13th, 2006, 23:50

Got crazy? Matt that's the understatement of your life; YOU WERE TRYING TO HAVE SEX WITH GIRLS!

depends on how much you want to spend.. we don't charge (right now).. but hotels, airlines and bar tabs do!

pilot602 · February 24th, 2006, 11:05

Who wants to bet something will come up and I can't make it this year? (And, I friggin live in Vegas)

Thats a joke.

knock on wood ...

pilot602 · February 24th, 2006, 11:06

Ah this year, lets try to stay away from balconies and hot tubs ... those two mixed with alcohol = bad juju.

FlyChicaga · February 24th, 2006, 12:20

I was waiting for someone to fall off! Luckily for the guard rail Marshall didn't go sliding over the edge when he fell.

I'm excited for this year, although I have a feeling it will be more laid back which is good. Hopefully they'll have that Margaritaville block party again, that was cool. I really wanted to go.

Doug,Kristie & Kellwolf and I were talking about NJC last night. Apparently over the past few years it has had a reputation of breaking up couples...lol! So all beware you may come as a couple but leave broken up!!!

muahhhh ahhhhhh

jtrain609 · February 24th, 2006, 19:55

It's not Vegas, it's Hawthorne Suites.

FlyChicaga · February 24th, 2006, 20:17

Well the fact Lloyd is getting engaged kinda negates that idea, doesn't it?

jtrain609 · February 24th, 2006, 20:35

I thought he stayed at the MGM this year?

Look at what happened when he stayed at the Hawthorne last year!
