As soon as we have a critical mass of commitment, I will purchase a room, a registration, and a plane ticket. I will do this thing.

P.S. If we go to Ruth's Chris again maybe this time Jonsey will not order his steak shoe-leathered. Although I want to go to some of the bars advertised in Modern Drunkard Magazine. Like the Double Down Saloon, "The Happiest Place On Earth."

I will not order my steak well-done. I will make my own reservations through Internet Explorer, however.

I am up for going to any place recommended by "Modern Drunkard."

The only thing I really want to do that is not on the itinerary is go to the Pinball Hall of Fame. But I think all of you will get a kick out of that.

I would also like to see the Cheetahs visit happen. For once.

I don't get it. It looks like he's eating chocolates. The cheap-ass Whitman's Samplers, maybe some Russell Stovers.

He's playing chess on the roller coaster, while everyone else is throwing their arms up going, "Wooooooo!"

There is a similar picture that Ben did a few years ago where he is resting his ... lemme see if I can find the picture.

So are we doing this thing or what?

Ice Cream Jonsey · Post by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:44 pm

Well, yes. I am definitely, without question or hesitation going to be there. Absolutely and positively!

Seriously? Because if you're actually making this commitment then I will order my tickets, hotel, and plane tickets too.

Yup. Nothing will keep me away from Vegas that weekend. I am definitely, without question, gonna be there.

I wish I could see a list of guests, but no matter. Just being able to play the arcade games and browse the offerings of the vendors is cool with me. Plus, the million things you can do in that city.

I will rent a car while we are there. I have it on good authority that cabbies won't pick you up from the Pinball Hall of Fame. They'll drop you off, they just won't come get you. So we'll have a ride. I also have a crippling OCD when it comes to not having access to a vehicle, so that's the other thing.

I'm pretty definite on this, too, but I won't be buying tickets and shit until sometime after my tax returns come in.

Also, last time, I was up for going to Cheetah's since I hadn't been to a strip club before (which is sort of funny since we have our fair share of them around here). I have been to them since then and I am not enthralled.

I had the misconception that tips were mainly used for buying extra attention and not the beggar fest that it actually is (no offense to beggars since they complain a lot less than strippers). What can I say, I don't have much disposable income and for what I have, that T&A just ain't worth it when it comes with so much bullshit.

The thing about Vegas strip joints is that not a single person would ever come to you for a tip. It's just a true entertainment bar, where you could sit and drink or talk all night long without talking to a single girl, if you didn't want to. It's Vegas - they dance incredibly, and are gorgeous, and not at all aggressive. it really is a bar with a great floor show. I would not recommend strip clubs in any other town, including NYC, but it's different there. They hire top caliber, and those girls are busy enough without your quarter, thank you very much.

Have you...BEEN...to Cheetah's? I had to wait for my choice girl for over a half hour. On a Sunday. With money in $20s in front of me. They've got better fish to fry than any of us dorks.

Cheetahs != Most Vegas Strip Clubs

Vitriola · Post by **Vitriola** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 2:06 pm

Apparently I have been to more of them than you.

Ok, sounds like something that could work, but I reserve the right to be a cheap bastard at any time.

bruce · Post by **bruce** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 9:35 pm

I'm with ya, Roody.

I mean, not that I don't like tits, because I sure do, but I don't like spending money, and I can pretty much see tits at home if I want to.

So if you can't stand it, let me know, and we'll go play Zaxxon somewhere.

Good grief! There is a Commodore 64 convention in Vegas the same weekend! DORK OVERLOAD!

Also, there was long rumored to be a baseball game created for the Vectrex. Well, someone got a hold of it and is selling it at the CGE. It's called "Pitcher's Duel" and barring a huge disaster... I'M IN, BABY!
