Well, Hong Kong's a bit pricey, but it's swanky still I imagine - at least as far as China goes.
I heard Bangkok is pretty entertaining and inexpensive, provided you steer clear of those brothels and other less reputable areas.
But Ulan Bator? I read an article about them Mongolians. Can't hold their drink, and they get VERY violent when they're tanked.
If you want to equally inconvenience everyone, I'd recommend Tierra del Fuego, Tristan da Cunha, or possibly Antarctica. ;)

Nothing would spoil the convention like being shutdown at midnight, two or four. Especially since I figure it's safe to say that half of us would have no intention of waking up before two in the afternoon.
Someone, I think Lucky, mentioned that in Vegas we'd be distracted by the other dangling sins, i counter that we're drunkards, we can be distracted by someone dangling keys or any shiny object.
The other theory on picking a destination is that instead of going somewhere that's inherently fun we could go to the most boring place we can think of and turn it into a party, somewhere like Omaha, Norman, Saginaw, or Boise.

Huh? Lost Wages is my first choice. Distractions? I didn't say that....

A challenge? Now that's an idea. How about Des Moines, Iowa? I can't think of any place that sounds more boring than that.
I've been loaded in Vegas more times than I can remember, never had a problem drinking anywhere in that town. walking down the strip, in cabs, wherever you go, you can take your drink with you.
Though Vegas is my first choice, New Orleans certainly deserves consideration...I'll have to get some beads....

It's technically illegal, but it's largely unenforced on tourists. They'll occasionally stop you if you have a glass bottle or are way off the Strip.
Apropos to nothing, I love drinking. Sometimes it just needs to be said.

first off, I'd just like to point out how cool it is to share the company of Barcalounge. He's been here as long as I can remember, and we've seen more of him this last week than in the previous month.
keep it up Barcalounge. We want more from SF.
I would also like to say that I am not against the big easy, but am completely unfammiliar with it. Not that I am any more so with Vegas, but sin city just seemed obvious for the first one.
what is the hotel scene like in New Orleans? Would they cater to us like they would in Vegas? So many conventions go to Vegas, it seems we could take great advantage if we had a large enough turnout.
Do we have any travel agents on the board, does anyone know one?
seems to me like we could work out one hell of a package (Luck and Savage might evaluate it for us) if we could plan far enough ahead. both for travel and lodging. Maybe even a couple regional charters or Bus trips or semi regional RV's to the airport where the charter leaves from.
how many people could we expect to show, and what do we need to do to attract those who we see little of on the board?
How many people who read the magazine but don't participate in the board might want to attend? and how the hell do we come up with answers for all these questions?
Would'nt a floor of a hotel and a conference room/bar be an epic adventure? plan it for a long weekend for the working types, so we could have a good three or four days...
However, I am a sucker for a southern accent, so if the big easy could provide us with all that Vegas could, I would easily throw in my hat, it sounds so cool when the girlies talk down there. Even up here, if they are from down there, or well, you can see where this is heading... down.....
mmmnnnn, y'all
need a woman be good to me... won't hide my whiskey try to serve me tea...
Right for my tuppence worth, my choices would be.
Las Vegas, for 24/7 partying
Glasgow, for it's friendly welcome to visitors and late hours in the bars.
Barcelona, for it's utterly fantastic people and very cheap booze.
The big apple, since i've always wanted to go there and boozslinga can pour the drinks :twisted:
