National S&B g2g?

[aak0517]

Do we really think we can pull one off? If so, let's get a count of everyone and see if we can make something happen.

Maybe start with a show of hands of who would be in to it and then we can go from there

We can then maybe narrow it down to cities that have a higher concentration of S&Bers and something in the middle-ish that would be doable for people to get to.

ETA: I'm in!

VEGAS! VEGAS! VEGAS!

Didn't ML do a Vegas GTG a couple years ago?

I would love to think I'd be able to pull it off, but with DS I just don't know

[Deleted]

I say Vegas! But when? And which hotel should we all stay at? I'm thinking the Bellagio because it's in the middle of the northern part of the strip and closer to the MALL! Hahahahaha.

[aqualuv]

I would love to!

[aak0517]

I'd totally be down for vegas. And we could find a great deal on a hotel they always have deals going on.

Don't you know better than to argue with a pregnant woman?  Ha. Cab said Vegas so I'm just a lemming and will go wherever.  

[carylee07]

I'm so down for SHO!
I don't really care where. If I can get there via Southwest, even better!

Not to be biased but MN is really great. Otherwise, I'm a huge Chicago fan.

Ohhh  Chicago. I might be able to convince DH to come along with the kiddo.  He's a Sox fan.  Weirdo.  Then again I know nothing about baseball so I just shrug.

I've been to Vegas 3 times:
- 14 years old
- 14 weeks pregnant
- 29 weeks pregnant

And I would probably be pregnant again at this G2G if it happens this year, lol.

Wait?  What?  HUH?  Is there something you need to tell us?  

I went to Vegas with my parents when I was 12.  We were traveling to LA from Texas before we had to move to Korea.  My parents wanted to go gamble so they let me roam the Strip by MYSELF at 12. We stayed at the Tropicana and I would walk across to MGM Grand and went to the amusement park.  But I had to be 13 to go alone.  I went on a ride and totally got caught lying about my age and immediately left MGM and spent the rest of the trip either in our hotel room or roaming the Tropicana while my parents more than likely casino hopped.  Yeah responsible parenting right there for ya.

[aak0517]

We probably want to plan far enough out to give people time to plan accordingly.

My parents are in MN @smorriso so I'm down for the that and I love Chicago BUT those places are effing cold from here on out till about May.

I'm honestly free as far as timeframe- we have family in for Thanksgiving and Xmas but other than that, I'm down!

We could do SoCal where it's always sunny and warm lol

[aak0517]

Erveryone throw a city vote out, then I'll compile and create a clicky poll

You've just not been with the right crowwwwwwd @natariru!  Also if you're preggo you may not be able to drink, but we could substitue with a Thunder from Down Under show? lol

[kellsbelles]

Vegas would be awesome, Nashville is a blast too, if we're going to do this in winter somewhere warm would be perfect maybe Cali or Florida?

[mrsguz]

Ooh!! Fun!!! I'd like to come! I say Atlanta, but I can fly anywhere. So...Paris???

[aak0517]

Agreed on the 4 month timeframe to plan and budget

LOL, I will totally meet you in Paris!  Except I have to find an airfare deal. 

[bimbi284]

I also hate Vegas.

I'm fond of the Chicago idea .

Either way, I would definitely be in if it works out!

[aqualuv]

February is perfect! That's my birthday month. Lol!

ETA: I'm cool with all of the places that have been thrown out.

Y'all are WIMPS!

[aak0517]

Ahhh Id be down for Miami. We gotta avoid spring break season there though.

[majick143]

Oooh exciting! I can't promise anything but I would love to do it!!! With three kiddos so small it's hard to get away but I might be able to swing it. Vegas would be my first choice. Its a shorter cheaper flight so I could potentially convince DH.

This is what a February G2G in Chicago or MN would look like. YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL WHO IS WHO!

LOL...well I would hope the G2G would be indoors! Besides, we all have so many of the same garments that it's quite likely we'd all be dressed the same in June as well as February!

[jm1211]

Late to the party but I'm down! If it matters I'll be Chicago sometime in June and the week after in Detroit.

Otherwise I'm game for just about anything! So excited!

[bcarp30]

Love the idea! Here are my thoughts-

I also hate Vegas. I just, eh.

As much as I LOVE Florida, it can be such a pain to get there from anywhere west of Chicago.

LOVE Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta OR what about San Fran? Wine and shopping. Plus nicer weather. I've always wanted to go to Texas or Seattle too.

I'm of course for San Francisco any day haha but I'm down for whatever.

[love1999]

I'm interested but it will depend on when, where and how much the airfare would be. Next year is our 10th anniversary so most of our travel money and vacation days are going to that. But if it is on a weekend I might be able to swing it. I vote for Nashville or Miami. I LOVE Vegas but the airfare from here tends to be killer.

[wannabe]

I would be so stressed out trying to pack for an S&B GTG. LOL.

[Deleted]

I'm down. I am a travel agent, so I could look into group rates at hotels where ever we pick. Or, what about a cruise? Then people could bring spouses and kids if they wanted?

[glw]

New Orleans?
