Looks interesting. I do wish reviewers on CT would do a more thorough, useful job of reviewing.

Hella windy tonight, tapering off tomorrow.

Anyone hear from richardhod? Is he joining us?

And klez, is molarchae coming?

I can answer that last part. She is coming. He's picking her up from the airport about 10:30. They're staying with us at the resort.

Speaking of weather....what's it gonna be like this weekend? I have most of my clothes packed, but just curious if I have the right ratio of short-sleeve vs long-sleeve for shirts. I don't even remember what the weather was like (or what I had for clothes) last year.

You don't have to share (:....I didn't even look, just wanted to keep them cool, since we keep the house around 78.

...yes, that is what was in the box.

Richard's fb status said something about Maker Faire in the Bay Area this weekend. When I saw him last week he said it was unlikely he'd make it.

Molarchae is definitely coming. Booked her flight a couple months ago.

Re: fatburger only reason I ever go there is to get a fried egg on my burger

We can figure it out over the weekend, and then I can bring it up in July for the RPM tour. And drop it off to you then.

Doh!!

Yowzers! You trying to get us all completely sloshed? That's gonna end up being some lineup of wines on Saturday.

Well, I'll just pick what I'm bringing from what you're bringing!

sanity wrote:Well, I'll just pick what I'm bringing from what you're bringing!

I thought about that too, but already had my bottle tucked away in my suitcase.

heading out see everyone soon!

Exactly!!!! Umm, no cigars for you this time.

CAGrl wrote:Totally. But then he does need his excuse to drink down his stash.

Exactamundo! And this is small compared to previous CyberPub gatherings!


Plus, I like my cigars with port/dessert wine.


Edit: Also, the LH Zin and Viognier are all 375ml. The rest are all normal 750ml bottles. So not really 10 bottles.

sanity wrote:Well, I'll just pick what I'm bringing from what you're bringing!

Of course! You da hostess with da mostest!!!


Edit: Should I bring one or more to tomorrow's bottling?

Sparky, thanks for lining up such an excellent stash!

I've got a German BdN Icewine, a Coro Mendocino, and a 2010 Anjou.

edit: Thank you! I enjoy doing this.
...and I was kidding!
Sure, bring 1 to the bottling. Actually, just bring all of your Tablas Creek Whites!!!

It's not much, but it's tasty - I'm bringing out a TO Grenache Blanc.

Sparky, are you bringing my Concannon PS Chocolate Syrup? Do I still owe you for that or did I PayPal you?

Oh crap, boarding...

I have arrived in Vegas! Checked in and chilling. Will be heading to the strip soon so if you have my number, text me and we can meet up.

I'm currently in the air, on the way from Indianapolis (after changing planes in Baltimore, and then stopping in Indy). Plane is slightly delayed, or at least was delayed leaving BWI. Pilot said we might land in Vegas on time or at least close to it.

First time I'm using the WiFi on the plane. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be a fast enough connection to do my streaming music through Pandora.

Seems like every time I want to go somewhere on Friday, stuff comes up at work.... Finally at dca.... Waiting for my flight... I only have Kevin and Trish's contact... Are people getting together tonight?

Pm'd you my cell number. Plans I believe are still up in the air.

We're here. Having a long overdue cocktail in our room. Not sure what we're doing after, dinner somewhere for sure...

What time is breakfast tomorrow?

For tenuki, breakfast will be combined with lunch after the bottling, lol.

I'm bringing fruit, bread and wine to the bottling, and sparky is also bringing wine. Would you like to meet earlier for breakfast?

Yes, I would. I'm up early so whenever anyone wants to meet is good for me.

I have arrived, I have my bag, I'm waiting for my HAK and then I think we're going to the hotel, perhaps making a stop @ Vans to buy breakfast goods. We'll see. Need to get car and stuff. Where is everyone?

Imagine4vr wrote:Yes, I would. I'm up early so whenever anyone wants to meet is good for me.

We're early birds too... early birds on a budget though. Any ideas for a cheap buffet?

Travel was going too well. Despite HaK having a delay, his pilot made up most of the time so it didn't count as "trouble". The computers are down for Alamo, so they're doing everything manually. And there's only 4 agents. And dozens of customers. They're thinking it'll be about an hour before we get our car.

Sigh.
