Good luck driving there (or flying) in this snow storm. My wife just called me to tell she is stranded on I-89 right now.

I had to drive back from the airport on Friday in the middle of a flogging snow storm! It took 2 hours for a trip that typically takes 30 minutes in heavy traffic. I was lucky though--90% of flights were canceled and many travelers were seeking refuge in local h(/m)otels.

I really might go...

Just need to decide between a $100, 8 hour drive, or a $180 1.5 hour flight. Then decide If I want to get a hotel room etc...

Grr.

at this point most of the major hotels will be booked. You could try downtown (old vegas) or find something like a marriot etc nearby. There's some hotels 4 miles south down lv blvd.

hey will using a badge from last year be an issue getting in and out of CES?

-Food
-Booze
-Music

That's the components of a good party for computer *nerds*. Lucky enough, we bring 3-4 of those with us. Just make sure Intel, AMD, and Gigabyte bring more booth babes--we'll be fine! :ROTF:

By the way--I'll see about total expense. Any WCG'ers want to room with me? :D

yeah.. I totally understand that's pretty much every guy needs to see at a party... :-)

What makes me a bit nervous is to speak to people I have never met before, I am so glad that I have this opportunity to know more about this community.. but still, it's challenging for me to host such a big event...:-P
I'll do my best :-):p:

So long as you stick to the weight limit (pffft - im always 30kg+) there cant be any problems (unless amercians think that PC's are dangerous too now? :P)

@ Jasmine, im sure you will do well and you have the full support of the community, so no need for nerves!

@ the boys - you dont need Gigabyte girl when you have an Xtreme Hottie coming ;)

hah.. thanks a lot! but I definitley dont go for the gigabyte girl's .. outfit...

Jasmine;
The people who will be there will be as friends that haven't seen one another in a long time not a meeting of strangers.
Not a thing to be concerned about.
We will have a great time!:up:

I have to bow out of my invite unfortunately... as I need to be more financially responsible right now after moving and using that money that I would go on to be put towards a good use will be better in the long run... Damn I hate being responsible :(
