I might have a free airline ticket for someone who otherwise wouldn't be going. Caveats: It's southwest, there's blackout times. And it's southwest.

I have a couple people I'm offering the ticket to first, but if they decline I'll open it up here. To qualify, you have to not be going and be flexible in when you go, since I have no control over that. And you probably will have to buy me a drink, since I have to pay the 10 dollar security fee for the ticket. I'll post more in a day or two if it opens up.

GaperKiller		2012-03-06 05:35:48 PM

Room booked. Flight booked. Doctor's appointment for Monday April 2nd booked.

Teriaki		2012-03-06 07:50:36 PM

I just booked my flights. See you guys there.

Lapusk		2012-03-06 09:51:25 PM

Baught my ticket. Realized I don't know any of you people.

Lapusk: Baught my ticket. Realized I don't know any of you people.

You know a few people had this exact conversation at the SF fark party. These things bring folks together for a common reason. Don't dwell on whether someone is a tfer or a liter, just have a good time. As far as not knowing folks, hell, you play the trombone, how can that not be a conversation starter!!

See you there!
^{/no, I don't play the trombone}

Is it rusty?

Lapusk		2012-03-07 11:47:34 AM

I'm 4'11'' female. I am a trombone player.. in fact I have three trombones. No they are not rusty. And no I'm not interested in making them that way. No I'm not a lesbian.. hum.. does that cover the normal questions?

I was a tfer for years. I just closed the credit card down I used and was to lazy to reup it with a new one.

And I look forward to meeting everyone as well. I'm usually very social, but for some reason this event is making a lil' shy.

*smiles*

Hey if you're gonna break your Fark party cherry, this is the place to do it. Look forward to meeting you!

lohphat: I'm on the fence about going. I may be in a work squeeze then.

Anyone want to see the Beatles Cirque show? I don't want to go alone.

If I wasn't poor this year I'd go see it again. It's fantastic.

NikkiPoooo		2012-03-07 01:21:24 PM

Also, if any ladies would like to share my room at Wynn, I've got space.

smells_like_meat: The buy in will be $65. Also included are free beginner's lessons starting at 1:30, depending upon interest.

I'm so bad at poker, I'd lose money at the free beginner's lesson.

GoldSpider		2012-03-07 08:24:03 PM

Last time I was in Vegas, I started the weekend bombed off my ass on seven-and sevens. And that was the first impression I made on my sister-in-law-to-be.

The bar for this weekend is set pretty high!

Yoyo		2012-03-08 04:06:36 AM

Lapusk		2012-03-08 06:32:17 PM

Yoyo: Today.. I have a headache. However, I am very excited about the trip.

Tziva: Unfreakable: Roman Fyseek: Booked flight. Booked Room. Booked event.

Sweet! You gotta wear the tux again, you classed up the group last year.

Crazy tux person aside, do people really dress up?

From the pics I've seen, the women dress up, while many of the guys dress like frat boys.

Lapusk		2012-03-10 02:48:25 PM

I just got a $199 dress for $5.25.. that is what I am wearing!!

lohphat		2012-03-12 05:59:19 PM

OK I get in at 10:30 Thu. When/Where does the pub crawl start? I'll have my game liver on.

Does the sausage with peppers and onions come with pasta? I'm thinking penne.

So, who's up for a pre-pub crawl dinner for Thursday evening?

/Ramen.

Tziva		2012-03-15 07:08:12 PM

sorry I have a date with benihana's.

kiwimoogle84		2012-03-16 07:08:02 PM

*cries* I can't afford to go. And it's SO CLOSE to me!

I totally would be a drunken hot mess all over the place, too. Or in other words, I'd fit right in.

/hot like a tamale

I'll ask the organizers to reserve a seat for you.

Oh. Hey. It's this thread again. Must be to complement the huge ass ad to the right.

NorCalLos		2012-03-16 07:18:45 PM

frickinsweet: I'm now accepting ~~applications~~bids for my Vegas Weekend Fling. Must be male, not older than 27, and willing/able to STFU and do what he's told. And then GTFO when I'm done.

EIP.

brap		2012-03-16 07:27:50 PM

Helpful hint: I found a cheapo deal booking the hotel and flight as a package on one of those travel sight dealios. The whole thing will end up being cheaper than my flight alone last year. I know this is probably pretty basic travel 101-type info but I was pleasantly surprised.

Dammit, now I want to go to the Fark Party. I really want to see that show.

I'm driving to Las Vegas on Sunday for a 10-day business trip. Might have to extend it over that weekend.

Clawhammer		2012-03-16 07:39:49 PM

I've never met any of you guys, but I am really looking forward to it.

So, are people REALLY dressing up?
Seriously what's the scoop?

Unfreakable?

I'd never been to Vegas so I brought suits because I thought everyone would be all Rat Pack and swanky and shiate and didn't bother wearing them, it's fooking hot down there. It's a lot more casual than I expected. Wear whatever you're confortable in.

Bathia_Mapes		2012-03-16 08:11:10 PM

Roman Fyseek: Booked flight. Booked Room. Booked event.

Now, to find somebody to watch my dog who may or may not shiat on my rug each morning.

On the upside, if she doesn't shiat, she'll at least piss.

I expect pictures of you kissing Mike. Don't disappoint me.

BalugaJoe		2012-03-16 08:17:33 PM

lohphat: Thursday is now SOLD OUT at the special rate.

Great. I bought my Fark Party ticket already. So much for arriving Thursday.

2 million hotel rooms in Las Vegas.
Duh.

BalugaJoe		2012-03-16 08:18:25 PM

I'm looking forward to seeing Wil Wheaton.

brap		2012-03-16 08:18:38 PM

"Confortable" was a typo but iit kinda works.

yeah, i think people spent more time in poolside attire than anything swanky. Some of the ladies wore dresses at the night events and there was one person in a tux (you know who you are). Vegas is one of those places where you can wear burmuda shorts and a tshirt all the time or you can dress to the nines depending on where you're gonna be hanging out. I'm not really sure Bahama Breeze (or whatever the heck that bar in TI was called) has that "money, baby" kinda vibe, iykwim.

WeaselFark		2012-03-16 08:43:37 PM

I swear it is one of my greatest regrets that I haven't been to a Fark Party yet. Even when there was one in my town I wasn't able to go, and seeing all the hubub about this one is driving me nuts.

Long story short, I'm just ranting publicly because I can, and given this super-long thread I doubt anybody will see my biatching. But I will make it to one.....someday...

rickythepenguin		2012-03-16 08:44:54 PM

MGM grand, baby. space available in the king size bed, ladies.

marsgwar		2012-03-16 09:04:29 PM

I've been waiting for this since last year.

Gunz_drawn		2012-03-16 09:09:50 PM

I can't even make it to a "Gas Buddie's" party.

/ $ 3.79 here

Thudfark		2012-03-16 09:10:36 PM

I wish I were going. I'd really like to get my face slapped by some of you ladies, as long as it wouldn't cost too much extra.

And golly gee whiz, wouldn't it be nice if there was some way to commemorate the event, like t-shirts maybe? And wouldn't it be even neater if those of us that can't go could also feel a part of it too? Hopefully someone will save the day.

/Takes tongue out of cheek now.

Are you guys trying to say that a fark party is a melting pot for transfering gonorrhea and syphalis?
