I know there is going to be a Bandster Bash in Las Vegas later this year, and I would dearly love to go but tragically it would cost me close to $1000 to get there, not including hotel/car rental! There are tons of cheap flights from Dublin to New York or Boston or anywhere on the east coast and I'm wondering if there's anyone who'd like to meet me there!!??!! I am prepared to go 5,000 miles to meet bandedkind!!! Anyone interested??? I don't mind when - preferably September or even the summer....!

[Hold on...a walk??? Couldn't we just vigorously shop?!!???]

I do like that idea.

oh thanks penni - me too you!!! If anyone can think of anything they'd like brought over from Ireland I'd be glad to bring it by the way! Except for leprechaun hats and guinness.... or sheep..... I don't know what you guys would want from here actually... maybe umbrellas?!!

OH OH OH I Know what I want! Wait for it!! YOU!!! BRIGHT just you!!!

aw shucks.....

Reserving the last weekend in September.... 23-25...

Are those the set dates now?

xxoo

...Whipping out my permanent marker to write all over my Day Timer...

Ya-HOOO!! I'm gonna get to meet me some LBT-ers!!! :banana :banana :banana :banana

Did we decide on a city yet? Ok Alex and Penni are yall sitting up the itinerary for shopping? How many people do ya think will come? I have a beach house in NC on the ocean, only has 4 bedrooms and 5 baths, but lots of floor space. Those dates are great, after the kids go back to school, not that I have kids in school, they're just off the beach by then, LOL.

the east coast is a great idea. I live in NY .Atlantic city is a great place lots to see and do and the hotels have great packages.

Wahoo! Donali - Alex - Penni - Bright for defo....any other definites? Harleynana, we're thinking about NYC/NJ now, does that suit you? I'm so excited...my friend Debbie, (non-banded but very up to speed!) says she'll come with me too so I won't get lost!!!

Just make sure when you gals get all the details down to let me know. Perhaps by then I will be a bandster!

Anywhere on the East Coast is fine with me. Look very forward to meeting everyone.

I would love to come to an east coast bash. Please keep me posted. I live in central Pennsylvania

Im new to this board, sorry about not posting in the correct spot..

I live in Pennsylvania, so either NYC or NJ is fine..please keep me posted.

I LOVE NEW YORK!!! Been there twice and it's just never enough! Went once 9 months before 9/11 and then last May....beautiful both times!!! Have some very eery photos of me on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty with the Twin Towers behind me. Wasn't eerie then; but now it's a constant reminder, not to mention priceless photo.

Let's do it!!! I think we could fill up a weekend VERY easily!!1 One of the best things I did both times was to sign up for a bus tour. First was a Day and Night tour of the city, since it was my first time, and it was AWESOME!!! The second was the Sex and the City tour based on the program....visiting all the sites that the 4 ladies did!!! It was INCREDIBLE!!! Even got to sit on Carrie's front steps of the brownstone!!!

Anyway, I could go on and on....but YES!!! SIGN ME UP!!!

It's so cool that we have some serious interest in this! I'm getting psyched. :banana
