but, are any of you heading to the Midwest in Jan?  I'd love to see you all.

Hopeful,

Is that an offer to host?

Sure!  You can all bring your sleeping bags and sleep on my living room floor.  ;D

If in St. Louis we will go. But since we used to go there because they allowed indoor smoking, and now they don't, perhaps we should consider some other markets where more people might be able to get inexpensive direct flights. Specifically I am thinking Dallas (Love field), Chicago (Midway).

Either way, we're in.

It's being worked on.......hopefully an answer will be available soon. Not all of the STL area is non-smoking...yet.

Of course if anyone has any ideas...post away.  ;)

That goes to show how Cluster Heads think alike..
I sent DJ a email on 8/18/2010, and at the end I put the following:

PS... Tell Mrs. Deej to get to working on Louie Con or Some Con.... ::)

Jim and I will be there no matter where it's held.

  I wish there was a magic pill to help all of us to stop smoking so that wouldn't even be a factor.  Personally I am sooooo ready to stop but everytime I try, I realize I just can't.

Toronto?  ;D

I'm warming up to the idea of a massive slumber party at Jeannies house!! ;D

That would represent enough in passport revenue that we could possibly cut the national debt in half.

Ruth and I already have our passports Brew....we are ready to go anywhere. :)

But most don't. And it will add about $125 per head to any international trip originating in the US.

Just swim the river.  That's what is done on our southern border.

Hey, but I'm sure our government will put that money to good use!

We have our passports also.  Always ready to go.  In Wisconsin you can not even smoke in bars anymore.  No smoking in any public place indoors.  It was enough to get my mother to quit smoking finally after many years of trying.  She said it was either the smokes or the booze and they took the pleasure out of smoking for her so she quit smoking rather than drinking.  Id love to make it but I have three trips next year for weddings and the birth of our third grandchild out to CA and NM.

My passport was good until last year. It would be worth 125.00 to renew it  just to see Carol START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGESTART PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE.

reverse immigration? 

All Casino's (I think) allows smoking in their hotel rooms and bars... If we could secure a comp. room where we all could be together... and get discounted rooms, for our stay... We could meet just about anywhere we want.. including Iowa?

Just a thought :-/

From what I was able to find out about our favorite spot in MO (Best Western), we can't be certain of anything until January 2011...??

I put a call in to the Best Western in Bridgeton, we have been playing phone tag.  Will try again tomorrow.  If I can get a banquet room (something bigger than a guest room) would that work for everyone?  If there is a charge, would you all be willing to pitch in a few dollars a piece to offset cost?

Lemme know!   :)

Count me in Mrs. Deej...

I'm in, but perhaps we should explore another hotel...?

Honestly, if everyone's going to have to go outside to smoke anyhow....anywhere becomes this group's destination.

I'll bring everyone an e-cig then we can all smoke inside and tell them all to go to H-E-L-L :)

In answer to your question Steph, yes, we would pitch in for a banquet room.

Sure would.

Jerry

I'm in too Steph.

Well obviously if the Queen is in...so am I! ;)

Joe

I wish I could go.
