+the1hatman Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Since a certain viral strain ruined our annual party in Portland, does anyone think staging our own get together would be a good idea? I have no idea how the where and when would work out but I hear Vegas has opened back up... Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 A get together before the weather turns would be good - August or early to mid-Sept may be a good time-frame. Plenty of places to go, but I'd like to steer clear of any Covid hotspots and I am not much of a Vegas fan. But Vegas would be easy and probably cheap.

colormesticky Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm about to spend a good chunk of my Portland mad money on other games, and I'm also fairly paranoid about catching the 'rona. But I'm in for a Zoom meeting if you guys have one before you get too involved with a marathon all-you-can-drink-free-as-long-as-you're-at-a-blackjack-table gambling session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colormesticky Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Also try explaining "I'm gonna go hang out with a bunch of strange men in Vegas for a few days" to my husband, lol. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to call us strange unless he asks Call us "old Intellivision buddies getting together to relive/rehash the good old days of yesteryear", and then if he asks "are they strange", then you can reply with "yes, they are strange, but in a friendly, non-threatening, way" Or as Douglas Adams puts it - Mostly Harmless Plus, no reason why he can't join the fun 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 My wife will confirm I’m strange. Just wish she would stop changing the locks whenever I go out. Can’t blame her. Just bought another Carnival because mine didn’t have an instruction manual. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KylJoy Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm interested in getting something going. Will there be Intellivision games to buy from any entrepreneurs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Currently too soon to know if Vegas will be safe in 2-3 months. Separately, I might have to stay home for my wife's health due to possible surgery around that time. Hard to commit to travel at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I hear the date of 10/10/2020 has some significance around here Maybe there is a little place down in SoCal that can host a get together 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the strip is just like Fremont but with fewer old people, and Fremont doesn't try to hide how seedy it is. Go one block off the main drag and it's kinda grimy. If you go outside Vegas though, the desert there is really beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Well I'll be in Vegas for the August 27th preseason game between the Raiders and Cardinals. Not missing the 1st ever game in my new stadium! Feel free to join me if anyone is bored by then. Assuming said game isn't cancelled or Vegas shuts back down again.... Darnnit!
