Vegas baby, oh yah.

Hotels in Vegas aren't that expensive at all if you stay off the strip. Split it with 2-4 people (don't tell 'em you have that many at the desk), and it's not much at all. There are decent places for like $40 a night (maybe a tad more on weekends).

Well, I'll be heading up to San Fransisco the weekend of Nov. 4th. And Vegas could be an option from mid- to late-October. South Dakota, however, is a bit far, especially when I got classes to not fail.

hmmm, haven't done any big vacation this year. If I can work it into my schedule, it is certainly something to consider.

For those that find North America a distant and expensive prospect, would there be interest this side of the pond for a UK or EU- based party? Would be quite cool to have it at the same time, and then maybe run some internet games between the two groups. Maybe even 'merge' the parties via webcasting and big screens..?

(BTW I am NOT offering to organise any such EU-party. Unless it was right in my neighbourhood I probably wouldn't even be able to attend myself)

*cough* UK *cough*

But what would you do at a launch party...
Drinking/Socialising?
Actually play the game?
Showcase in-the-works projects?
Just a regular party in honour of the launch?

I suppose it depends on how many people planned on turning up for a start...

Why do you have to have all those places out west? Why not one in Ohio, where the PBW server is located? Or did the PBW server move up to Canada by Tesco? Grumble grumble
