Members GAS Man Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 I've thought of this before- maybe it's crazy, (maybe not) But if we planned it out long enough in advance (a year or two) and then we got a hotel to host an HCEG gathering, (room rates, banquet/meeting rooms, etc) and if we could do it in a hotel that had a spot where we could jam - It might be fun. Vegas is a relatively inexpensive destination for flights, accommodations and food. Some music stores might even be interested in sponsoring it to some degree. (Lending equipment or booths and appetizer deals, etc) And we could maybe even have the Gibson QC guy or effigy to kick around. Yay, nay, maybe? But I think it might be fun for some of us to meet some of the folks here face to face and exchange some licks and BS. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stink Monkey Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sounds like a plan. If you can get the hotel to believe enough people are coming and they'll play enough it could be sweet. 'Course I have a second home there so I wouldn't be staying in a hotel. But I'd be there for the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dcooper830 Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 I had actually thought of that before. It would be cool if we all had a convention or all met somewhere. I'd be up for something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted February 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 lots of hookers and blow in VegasThat's true, so we'd have to make sure that the HCEG Forum convention time didn't cramp the time available for individual night time pursuits either.

Members GAS Man Posted February 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 Well, I think if it's a viable idea, then this thread will have some legs. If it dies quickly and doesn't bubble up often, then we'll know it isn't likely to happen.So we'll see - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axegrinder Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 Put me down for a big fat maybe. If enough people who intrigue me are on board then I can find a way. Wouldn't it be fun if we orchestrated a smash 'n' grab at Roman's...Ocean's 14 anyone? I also wanna see warriorxtman operating as JJ's wingman. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katintokyo Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 We're gonna need someone to referee though if things get as drunk and high as I'd like... The way things have been going here recently, might need vests too... riot gear anyone?http://www.galls.com/style.html?assort=general_catalog&style=TE197&cat=3038Brilliant idea, though. Someone here could prolly set us up with all the favors we would need too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashtray Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 Could be a great idea - but I think it could also be a BIG idea. Since this forum is owned by Musicians Friend group, maybe they could work an official angle for the whole thing, arrange with the hotels, etc etc. Yes, something like this could easily take a year of planning and organizing. I have worked for a professional events planner firm that would book everything from hotel rooms, to events, to special guests - there's a LOT that goes in to something like this, and raising $ from potential sponsors would help offset a lot of the costs, but at the same time require a lot of work as well. LOTS of legal documents involved. As a smaller scale, if people were interested, we could just all choose a weekend to meet up at say the Hard Rock, book a block of rooms, and then maybe book a hall to have some food & social for a few hours. It would cost a few bucks, but if everyone who was going pitched in $30, I'm sure it would cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members book_of_lies777 Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 I used to live in Vegas. I miss it alot. I'd move back there next week if the wife would go for it... hey, if this does take place, we could invite Ed Roman and make him wrestle Hornswoggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brewski Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 Throw some pickups, strings, picks, Guitar straps, a pedal or two and we're really going to have a good time. I've put in a recommendation for hotels through expedia for Jan 09. That's as far into the future as they would let me go. I'll send an update when then send an update.
