Ordinarily, I would choose Vegas; but some friends invited me to spend next summer with them in South Dakota. It'll be a great vacation from the 100-degree Texas summer and I'll get to see things I can't find at home, like hills and mountains and non-mesquite forests. Unfortunately, my hosts are vegetarians. The only meat in the log cabin will be the dogs' treats. I wonder if I can live on beef jerky for three months.

TAM is in January. I'm not seeing the conflict with Summer in SD.

I guess what I'm saying is...well...wait for it...

You need a better excuse, methinks.

Money. As in, "I probably won't have enough money to afford both."

Hmm...doesn't sound like too difficult a decision. Come to Vegas! South Dakota can't be that different from Texas. Doesn't all the land west of the Mississippi look the same?

My Diary

Zep · Aug 31, 2005

Barring a major downturn in income, I will be going to TAM as well. Yeehah! We have just booked the plane flights to and from the USA, which was always going to be the major hurdle for us. Now for all the rest...

Mrs Zep is really keen to see Vegas again, do some sightseeing, and definitely see some shows (we saw EFX at The MGM Grand last time). We're also hoping to take a couple of days to see Grand Canyon and region again afterwards. THEN... We intend to see New Orleans (on the assumption it is back and running by February), Orlando and Miami, and San Francisco! I'm going to call in some favours to help plan stuff, but more on this in another thread.

TJ · Aug 31, 2005

I can't wait to meet you Zep! 5 more months!

LordoftheLeftHand · Aug 31, 2005

Considering I live in Vegas, it would be criminal for me not to show up at least for 1 day.

This rookie should be making his first TAM this January. As soon as I get my stipend check from my school, I'll be plopping down a healthy sum.

I really look forward to a chance to meet some of you guys. It should be fun!

delphi_ote · Sep 13, 2005

I'm officially in! Registered and reserved a room.

See you guys soon.

And just booked my flight from Miami.

I booked a flight that's actually getting there on Thursday night (might as well get my fill of Vegas, since that's one of the few mornings I'll be able to sleep in!), and leaves on the Tuesday or something. I figure there should be tons to do in Vegas.

How far is Lake Tahoe? Should I bring my snowboard?

Jeff Wagg · Sep 15, 2005

Tahoe is hours away, but you might try this:

Jas · Sep 15, 2005

That's awesome, thanks for the link. It's so cute! I wonder if the snowboard park is any good?

Hutch · Sep 16, 2005

Well, it's been a month, so let's do an update on who's coming.

The original list:

1. Paul C. Anagnotopoulos
2. Supercorgi (1st timer)
3. Central Scrutinizer
4. Illegal Argument
5. Mfeldman (1st timer)
6. Hutch
7. Brown
8. citytom
9. Stimpson J. Cat
10. Treble Head (1st timer)
11. Bad Astronomer
12. Hal bidlack
13. Nyarlathotep
14. Chanileslie
15. Schizobunny
16. tracyann (newbie)
17. Cave Dweller (1st timer)
18. TJ Stough (1st timer)
19. Renata
20. Patricio Eicler
21. CF Larsen
22. Dinsdale Piranha (newbie)
23. Kitten
24. Jeff Wagg
25. Glenmac52 (newbie)
26. Electric Monk

Added since them:

27. Delphi_ote (1st timer)
28. Zep
29. Zepplet
30. Fun to be Free (newbie)
31. Jas
32. Lord of the Left Hand
33. CiviX (1-post wonder)
34. spiteme (1-post wonder)

For definition purposes, newbie has a few posts and I don't see them around the threads I'm in, 1st Timer is a more regular contributor who is attending their 1st TAM ever, and 1-post wonder is just that, made one post to the Board saying they are coming. (Hey, it's my list, I get tomake up the rules!!)

Fairly good, but we still have a way to go to beat TAM3 attendance. Who am I missing, folks?

Jas, see this thread. If interested, we'll see if we can fill up a car or two.

deBergerac · Oct 4, 2005

I have been out of the loop for some time but I have the intention of going to TAM4. I am still not sure how I will be able to afford it but I will try. Looking forward to seeing you all again.

Zep · Oct 4, 2005

Errm, you can strike Zeplette from the list - our daughter wants to stay and..."look after the house". Which means PARTY CENTRAL! while we are gone, I'll bet! However Mrs Zep WILL be there or thereabouts. She has plans to "shake that town"...my wallet is cringing even now!

Looks like none of the cool forum members are going. I plan on attending at the moment so it should add a little cred to the event.
