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!)

Teresa, sorry but my spare room as already been spoken for. Sorry!

Megan: Making out? ???? What is that??? Hmmm might have to look up the new slang terms. LOL!! Way cool. And yes we could do some damage. And yes again "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." LOL!!

Ya know I don't really care where we stay (NO HO JO!!!) as long as there is taxi service to and from Lisa's because I ain't driving if I am drinking. AND I am drinking!! Gonna be celebrating my birthday (which is the 5th, presents accepted) and will be in a size 14 by then for sure. I am hoping anyway.

I wouldn't mind staying at Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, NewYork, Paris, Venetian, Harrah's, Strastosphere is ok too but someone's gotta go on the rides with me at the top.

WHOO HOO!! Vegas here I come.

Just a thought too..... checked a bit more.... Stratosphere is $107 a night, Imperial Palace is $98 a night, Circus Circus is $85 a night and Sahara is $89 a night. Being that this all has the propensity to get somewhat large of a group, the group rates will probably be even lower. The newer hotels are fairly expensive but the older more established hotels on the strip are just as nice, just not as themed or showy. I have stayed at all of the above and like them all (sahara and riviera being top choices, and circus circus being the bottom).

Do you have any thoughts or input in this De Larla??? I drive and play and stay there all the time and send people there all the time, but you live there (so you get the inside scoop ha ha ha). Surely you have a better opinion about all of these places I have mentioned than I would?

If I am invited, my vote is for either weekend. I am driving.

And just as a side note..... why not plan a quickie cruise down to mexico? Only about $300 pp for 4 nights and everything is included! (can you tell I love to travel and jump at ANY and ALL chances to leave and have fun!!!)

Jen

Cruise = fun

Vegas = fun

Anywhere with Lapbanders = fun

I am so there!!!!!

OH and to everyone reading this post EVERYONE is invited to the LAPBAND BASHES. EVERYONE is invited. GOT IT!!??!!

Penni, I will go on any ride with you, as long as it doesn't involve being hung upside down. For some reason, I cannot breathe upside down. OH!!!! and if I reach my that goal, I won't feel squished into the seat!

I'm with you on the whole taxi thing too!

Bring on the black jack! A cruise has a casino too!

Have we decided on a date yet for sure? I would like to book my room ASAP..where is everyone staying?

Becky say "I do rides -- and I go upside down too. I never have anyone who will do that with me."

Greg is back anmd he says "I'm not going there"

Penni, have you kept track of the votes? Is everyone willing and ready to set a date in stone?

EVERYONE is invited... but, last year I learned my lesson so this year I'm not making any suggestions or recommendations on hotels! I didn't pick Howard Johnson's last year, but all the girls puked when they saw the rooms. Well, not all of them, and they really didn't puke, but a bunch of girls were running around at the last second looking for other hotels. I think any of the ones on the Strip will be fine though.

Since Penni is in control of my life, I nominate her to make the decision on the date.

OK here goes. September 9, 10, and 11 weekend in Vegas for the BASH is set in stone. Plan accordingly.

I will be there with bells on. I can stay at any hotel on the strip preferably but I am flexible. I think Excalibur sounds like fun but so do any of the hotels.

I might fly in so would need a ride. LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there's any way I can be there, I will. Maybe I can work in a Grand Canyon Colorado River trip if my butt is small enough to fit in a kayak by then!

I will be there with Bells on too!!

Anyone wanting to share a room with me..let me know

I will be fyling in too

You are more than welcome to share a room with Vera, Becky and myself. We would love to have you and that would lower the cost even more.

Let us know.

I think Penni is confused with Band Bash and Birthday Bash. Penni, this is a Band Bash, but since you keep reminding us of your birthday, I'll be sure to have many cans of whip cream in the fridge - you know, the kind that sprays in your face? You want a birthday spanking? You got it! Payback's a bitch, ain't it? Oh boy, this is gonna be fun! And I think everyone else will agree that you should be the first to get tossed in the pool drunk in your panties this year!

Um it's your birthday too that month. And just so you know, "I CAN'T SWIM!" But the spanking and the whipped cream sound kinky and fun. LOL!!
