I'm lonely, and I need new clothes, plus it's never too early to start planning this summer's Vegas Bash/Clothing Exchange. We should do it earlier this time when the pool Water is still warm. Lots of pool fun this time!

I would suggest Labor Day weekend, but I think hotel rates go up for holidays. FEEDBACK, PLEASE.

Same as last year. We'll all meet for dinner at Buca di Bepo Friday night, then party at my house on Saturday. This year's theme is salad Bar Buffet, potluck poo-poo platters, and appetizers. And Carol's famous margueritas will be our yearly tradition (I hope she can come!)

Well if I go out there we will have my car to use... I will probably stay with my husbands grandma to save my money on a hotel. And since its in Sept. I will more then likely be banded by then...

Carol, I'd like to have DH drive me to San Jose and fly with you, if possible. He can visit his mom. It cost quite a bit more to fly from way up here. When you get a flight, let me know what number and I'll try to hop it, one way or another.

Ginny-are you around? Id love to meet up with you an airport in Texas, and travel with you, if you are going. let me know.

Carol, those lower cupboard doors in my kitchen are still sticking together, but hell yeah, we need more Margies! Ain't nothin' like them. And, was I supposed to ask hubby if he minds another bash? Like he had a problem with a houseful of woman last time? All them women smoking cigs in the garage with him... no problem!

Oh we did have so much fun!

I told Bill I'm off to Vegas and he said "who's going to watch the kids?" Is said "your not going!" we laughed.

My investigation for that weekend shows American West 9/2/04 SanJose 7:20 am. 9/4/04 Vegas 4:00 or 8:27pm flight for $188 RT.

Various Hotels noted Circus Circus has 2 queens for 118.75/night, cheapest and nicest found but it's north strip, I think. NO HoJo.

Carol You are so together, a car is such a good idea. Last year you mentioned the deals you get at the flamingo? Check it out but I wouldn't book till we know exactly the date. My treat at the Bellagio

I'm getting so excited, Party! :banana

As far as the BayArea Bash, I've been out of the loop. I sent out a post on there board for more details...

Where is Ginny? has anyone heard from here lately? I have not seen her post in a long time.

Have you guys decided Labor Day, or do you wanna save a few bucks and do it the following weekend? I'm going to tell the Vegas Bandsters (there are just a few.)

Should we wait till next week to set the date in stone (to give more people a chance to vote?)

I'll probably take that whole week off, since last year there was too much going on in my life, so I was a stress-mess at the bash.

I vote for the holiday weekend. It means more days off for me!

If Vera, Becky, Michelle and I share a room with two queens that should save us some money.

I will be glad to bring two queens with me!

I don't think I'll be able to get to both Bandstock and the Vegas Bash, although having an event on a long weekend sure helps. DeLarla, even if I can't make it, I'll send more clothes if you hold an exchange. Hope my current stuff will be much too big for me by then! My one-year bandiversary is just before Labor Day.

I think the Labor Day weekend is the best. Gives people more time to play. Not sure what John's plans are for that weekend yet gotta ask him. IF he is out touring then I will most likely fly in. If he is free then we will drive up again.

I vote for Excalibur myself.

WHOO HOO!! You know my birthday is the 5th of Sept. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!! Presents accepted early as well.

Hi Everyone,

Count me in again! I had a great time!!!

Becky

I'd love to share a room. If any of you guys are toasty warm like my hubby, I'll sleep with you!

Think you just made up my mine for me I'm coming LOL

Becky Lee... you have gotta be careful HOW you says things around Mr. Greg.

I don't know if I could attend... it's that darn fear of flying thing again and the fact hat we are taking a long expensive vacation this summer to SD and Yellowstone. I'll just have to sit at home and feel all left out and pouty.

I know everyone will have a great time!

Darcy: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you gotta come. It is mandatory. Ok who is in the area or at least close to Darcy that would be willing to fly down with her? There has to be someone.

Okay... My hubby is checking airline costs OMIGOD... I'm having chestpain just thinking of flying!!!! Let me know when you have a date in stone and tell me what drugs I should ask my doctor for so that I will say "WEEEEEEEE" if the plane goes down. I must really love you guys!
