Pagan 2010

[Lilith]

As you guys know I am hoping that a few of you are interested in getting together in Vegas this coming summer. My time there will be brief 3/4 days 2/3 nights, as it will be part of a much longer family vacation. So my questions are-
1) Are you interested in a Vegas PAGAN during the summer of 2010?
2) What dates would you consider?


******************************************
PAGAN 2010 in Vegas
July 20th-23rd

Contact Lil by PM for more details.

[AngelicVampires]

I would love to come. Unfortunately all my income is going to be put into a wedding that year.

[Oldfart]

Oshkosh will be from July 26- Aug 01, and I was hoping that PAGAN would nestle in ahead of that. 18-19 July is the weekend before, which I hope will suit everyone.

AV, a Vegas wedding with the Pixies?

I need it to be before as well. August cuts me too close to school. Vegas is cheaper on week days. Could you do sometime between the 20th and 23rd??

Do people need weekends?? Would week days work??

[dicksbro]

We'd love to come, but, 2010 may be iffy for Vegas. Too many things happening. Haven't given up total hope, but the odds are for sure less than 50%. May try to work out with OF and his bride a get together near Oshkosh. :) That may be more do-able.

[AngelicVampires]

OF, I have been trying to talk him into that for a LONG time, lol

[gekkogecko]

Vega$ is not doable for me, regardless of time. Ah, well.


2) What dates would you consider?

Well, I'd consider a date with you, Lilith.

[PantyFanatic]

It seems Vegas is reasonable enough to get to as we had guessed. But we know the days of affordable rooms and meals are gone. Not to mention that the sights and shows are long bucks now. I will make the dates good for me and hope we can line up some inexpensive accommodations and activities.

(Can you have them put up a barbed wire fence around the craps tables?)

[BIBI]

Sorry.....no can do.

[PantyFanatic]

If you can't put up the fence you better put me down for just one night ;)

[Oldfart]

You don't HAVE to play the tables. You can sit back with me and watch the women wobble past.

[Lilith]

I'm not doing Vegas on the cheap. :p I am staying at a nice hotel on the strip. Think Bellagio or Paris or the like. I will have my peeps with me so it may be a matter of me meeting up with you guys where you guys decide to stay.

[Oldfart]

Lil,

M's just said, "I'm with Lil, better a few days in comfort than a week in the boonies." We've seen the Neon Boneyard on CSI.

[Lilith]

I had a feeling she'd be willing to rough it Lil style :p

[Oldfart]

The quote was, "You Betcha".

[jennaflower]

It might be do-able for me.. keep me posted as to the dates you all decide. :)

[PantyFanatic]

...Vegas is cheaper on week days. Could you do sometime between the 20th and 23rd??

Do people need weekends?? Would week days work??
Vegas in July is NOT what my dream vacation would be http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-ashamed004.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) but I'm open to any days between 18th - 23rd. If weekends would enable more Pixies to be there, I'm good. If cheaper weekdays work better I'll go for that. The furnace temps will be the same. :faint:

[Lilith]

I'm looking at Trump's place, Paris or The Mirage. Kind of middle ground, not the best or the worst. Trumps is posh but no casino. Of course there are 34897629873489257423957423975 across the street.

[Oldfart]

Mrs OF just nodded.

[AZRedHot]

Mr. Red and I would be interested; we can get to Vegas more easily than a lot of places, and it'd be neat to meet folks. July would be fine; it ain't gonna be any hotter in Vegas than it is at home! I'm with Lil; if I'm going to Vegas, I'm staying somewhere nice (though we don't care if there's on-site casino or not), preferably with massage on-site.

Unless, you know, I get a volunteer... :brows:

[scotzoidman]

They offer in room massage AZ.
So will just about any Pixie that shows up :molest: :D

[AZRedHot]

So will just about any Pixie that shows up :molest: :D

So, ya gonna be there, Scotz? :)

[scotzoidman]

In my dreams...Lost Wages is one of those places, along with the Grand Canyon, I'd like to see once before I die, but the $$$ always seems to run out on me just west of the Mississippi River...

Not to mention a chance to meet real Pixies again...

[citrus]

Well having just learned of pagans LV existence and my determination to do BurningMan Aug30-Sep06 @BlackRock,CA , go ahead & pencil me in as a wannago w/high hope! dunno wut dates tho? :banghead:
neither is high on my bucket list, but since i'm usin' up time like straw in an oven, i figger i'd best try makin' s many s i can :teleport:

[lizzardbits]

Yes, when and where? I need to pay close attention as I'm guarding the Colors. :D However, there may be the possibility that I will be heavily gravid in the summer, so long trips from MN wouldn't be comfy. I may just have to ship the Colors to 2010 PAGAN. :)

Right now, since I'm not expecting another Mayhem/Lizz part deux, I would say yes we will go to vegas, but if in the next few months, if the bunny dies, then no.

[Oldfart]

Lil,

Email us when you've booked and we'll aim for the same flop-house.

[PantyFanatic]

Yeah. Let me know too and include the room number. :D

[PantyFanatic]

Never mind Lil. I made reservations for us already. I know you'd want to stay at Circus Circus, where the clown bellhops bring everyting right to your room. :D


























http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h102/PantyFanatic/FraternalFriends.jpg

[AZRedHot]

Mr. Red and I definitely want to meet up with Pixies peeps, so let me know where y'all will be holing up (no pun intended) and we will also make reservations.

[gekkogecko]

PF, that was NOT NICE!

[Oldfart]

Yes, quit clowning around.

[PantyFanatic]

Just trying to help Lil with her 'three-ring-circus'. :3way:





:D

[Oldfart]

I don't think that Lil would want you out there with a whip and a top hat.

[Lilith]

I'm booked. PM me if you want info.

[Oldfart]

We're booking this week.

[jennaflower]

What are the dates exactly???

[PantyFanatic]

I have the 20th to the 23rd marked off. Isn't that the frame it boiled down to? :confused:

[Oldfart]

Yep.

[AZRedHot]

We'll book this week as well for hotel, plane when it gets closer. We've got multiple flights daily from here to LV.

[Oldfart]

***bump***

Just so no-one forgets.

[dicksbro]

***bump***

Just so no-one forgets.
Forget what? :spin:








:)

[Lord Snow]

I wish I could go, but it's looking like I might have some bad news coming that will require me to head up to Connecticut. Kind of a shame, I would love to Criss Angel's show live.

[Scarecrow]

We may have to pass this one.

[dicksbro]

Scarecrow, maybe we ought to look at a day at Allerton or maybe a couple of days at Starved Rock or Turkey Run in Indiana? :shrug:

[Scarecrow]

Or maybe a riverboat trip?

They all sound like good ideas to us.

[Oldfart]

Riverboat?

Was that General Jackson or Darren McGavin?

[dicksbro]

Riverboat?

Was that General Jackson or Darren McGavin?
Or, The Spirit of Peoria. :)

[imaginewithme]

I wanna go!!!!

[dicksbro]

You'd be welcome to join us in whatever we do. :)

[imaginewithme]

You'd be welcome to join us in whatever we do. :)

Thank you. Let me know what the final decision is...2010 is going to be my traveling year! LOL And I'd love to meet up with ya'll. :nod:

It's looking like a small but exciting group at Lost Wages.

I think we will book tix for the Criss Angel/ Cirque du Soliel show Believe for either of the two nights we are there. It is the one request of my smallest demon spawn. Does anyone want to go with? We can't purchase tix online for another month but just wanted to throw it out there.

We're still planning to be there. Xmas expenses were more than expected, so once cash flow normalizes again, there will be reservation-making. I have my heart set on the LOVE show by C du S, and we probably won't do more than one, as the tickets are spendy.

[Oldfart]

M said that she'd be interested in seeing it.

[AZRedHot]

Which "it" was that, Oldfart?

[Oldfart]

Believe.

[Lord Snow]

Damn, you get to go see a show that I would sell my mother to see and I can't afford to go anywhere.

[Oldfart]

Keep an eye on the Mother Market over the next few months.

[AZRedHot]

I just checked to make sure neither LOVE or Believe were dark when we were going to be there, and they're not.

Believe is at the Luxor and tickets run $59 to $160 (http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/believe/tickets.aspx)

LOVE is at the Mirage, and tickets run $93.50 to $150. (http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/love/tickets.aspx)

Mr. Red and I will probably be going towards the higher end for LOVE, as I'm only doing this once.

At this point, it doesn't sound like we're going to have enough people to get any kind of a group rate even if we all went to the same show. I'm holding off buying tix at this point. There's plenty of time; I somehow doubt people will be pouring into Vegas in July. Just us Pixies. :)

[Mercury_Maniac]

wow vegas, thats wild, you all have a good time :)

[Oldfart]

We'll have a better time when more people line up.

[PantyFanatic]

It's time to start lining up alright. We have a Pixie coming from the other side of the world. I hope we can get a few Western US members to stand up. After the PAGAN gatherings in Canada and the East were too far away we had great times in the Midwest. We went South to meet with more fantastic members and even let Lilith get within whip cracking distance. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sex014.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

So now where are all our Western Pixies? ;)

[AZRedHot]

Okay, we are booked for July 21-23 (W-F, leaving Saturday morning) at the Trump. We got a suite so that we could have a gathering place for sitting around and chit-chatting after dinner if we so wish. I'm going to pull a Scarlet O'Hara and think about show tickets tomorrow...or rather, a few tomorrows down the road. Maybe there'll be more people signed up by then.

[Lilith]

Perhaps we could plan on a group dinner on the 21st since we are booked the nights of the 20 and 21st. My peeps will go see Believe on the 20th if you guys want to get together our last night/your first night.

[AZRedHot]

Wait--are you booked the 21st AND want to do dinner on the 21st? In any case, we're a YES! for dinner, and whatever else the gang works out. I'm really looking forward to it.

[Lilith]

We are there the 20th and 21st. We head to the Grand Canyon on the 22nd.

[Oldfart]

Dinner 21st sounds good.

[dicksbro]

Dinner 21st sounds good.
Dinner always sounds good, doesn't it? :shrug:

Oh ... you mean scheduling the Pixie dinner in Vegas. http://bestsmileys.com/blushing/1.gif

[Oldfart]

I'd save you a doggie bag, but the airlines won't let me carry it.

[Scarecrow]

I'd save you a doggie bag, but the airlines won't let me carry it.

What the doggie or the bag????

[Oldfart]

Decisions, decisions.

[Vicious Tease]

Vegas sounds like it's gonna be out of my price range this year, but I'm gonna do some searching and see what I can find.

[AZRedHot]

I hope you, and other folks, will consider it, and we can get a good crowd of Pixies. Airfare is always a bear, but it's usually not too bad to Vegas.

Most (all?) of us will be staying at Trump International, so far; Lilith found great rates (http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=dspv) at Expedia. $76 a night (plus the usual hotel/tourist fees) for a suite!

And there's a lot to do in Vegas that won't break the bank. (That is, of course, easier to do if you don't gamble. :) ) Back some years ago, when Mr. AZRH and I were still both teaching and broke (of course), we went to Vegas on the supercheap. I think we lost 75 cents gambling, and learned our lesson before we left the lobby. We were (and remain!) hick enough to enjoy just wandering in and out of the hotels and seeing the elephant, as it were, but there are tons of free things to do there: http://www.vegas.com/attractions/freeattractions.html

[gekkogecko]

Airfare is always a bear, but it's usually not too bad to Vegas.


Save yourself the airfare. Slither to Vegas instead.

[AZRedHot]

I'm bumping this up in case someone has been wondering if they should come to Vegas and hang out with excellent Pixies (yes, you should) and was waiting for a sign.

THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Come. We'll do dinner. Shows. Chit-chat. It'll be fun!

[Oldfart]

Lilith and I'll be there too, so it'll be an experience.

What do you mean that wasn't helpful, AZRedHot?

We'll discuss that later.

[AZRedHot]

Lilith and I'll be there too, so it'll be an experience.

It'll be a GREAT experience, and I'm so looking forward to it! It's amazing to me that Pixies has been part of my life for 6 years now; it'll be so cool to finally meet some of my friends from here.

:grope: <--group hug

[osuche]

I could be convinced. It's after my cycling event (which is in June), so I should have more time by then. Vegas is a close and easy flight for me.

[AZRedHot]

I could be convinced.

What would it take? Shameless flattery? Adult beverages? Cash?

Come, Osuche. Pretty please with sugar on top?!

[osuche]

It would take me putting it on my calendar and making it happen. WHich I will do.

Of course, a little sugar never hurts either. But I'll claim that in person. ;)

[PantyFanatic]

Today I took some time to re-read some of the threads of PAGANs past. I wanted to see if postings reflected my enthusiasm to meet and spend time with fellow Pixies. I have to say the real enjoyment and surprising bond I felt seems to have not been only mine.
We have many active and long-time members in the western U.S. area where PAGAN-10 is going to be held. I can honestly say if you don't give more than passing thought to getting together with people you have come to know so sincerely on this forum, you will be passing a unique experience in life.

Vegas itself is unique in that you have the option of the extremes of the glitz and high end life to the MANY interests and attractions that hundreds of thousands residents enjoy every day without involvement in the city's industry. And I can tell you Pixies know how to do things on the cheap. :2cents: LOL

If you have given the slightest consideration to possible attending, I recommend you give it some more and try to grasp the good time I read in these threads.

I'm looking forward to it. I'll already have spent a week in the car with my family so I should be at my bitchy best, just the way you guys love me :spank:

The night of the 21st (when most everyone will be in one place) should be a blast. I can't wait to get my hands on all of you. The more the merrier. I have plenty of hugs and spankings to go around. :grope: :hot:

[osuche]

"On the cheap" is tough in Vegas...although it gets less expensive if one stays in hotels and restaurants off of the main strip.

People watching and conversation is, of course, always free.

[AZRedHot]

The Mr. and I went to Vegas for the first time when we were still both teaching, and (this being AZ) mostly broke. We found all kinds of stuff to do, amazingly. Also, there are some links up-thread for some free/cheap activities, as well.

[dicksbro]

Forget what? :confused:








:D

[Oldfart]

Forget what? :confused:

Yes.

[Aqua]

No promises... but I *just* might be able to make it.

That'd be awesome, Aqua!

[PantyFanatic]

SOMEBODY AZRedHot in AZRedHot Arizona AZRedHot should AZRedHot clean AZRedHot out AZRedHot her AZRedHot PM AZRedHot box. :rolleyes2

[AZRedHot]

I don't know who you mean, PF. My box is so clean you could eat off it.



:devil:

[PantyFanatic]

Exactly what I was thinking about. :licker:

[Scarecrow]

Looks like Mrs King will be having Knee surgery in May, so we will not be going to far from home this year. Have fun in Vegas.

[Oldfart]

Give her a hug from us.

Having knees helps in so many things.

[dicksbro]

Looks like Mrs King will be having Knee surgery in May, so we will not be going to far from home this year. Have fun in Vegas.
Let her know we'll be sending our prayers her way. Maybe we can still find a chance to get together for at least lunch. (Let us know when the surgery is and when you guys might be up for lunch)

[Coaster]

Looks like Mrs King will be having Knee surgery in May, so we will not be going to far from home this year. Have fun in Vegas.


Mrs Coaster had her left knee replaced 5 weeks ago! And she doing GREAT! (Right knee on tap for Nov) Make sure Mrs King does all her stretches and exercises and she'll be fine and kicking your butt! :D

Wish Mrs. DB and I could make it, but it's just not going to be possible. But, PF is absolutely right ... "if you don't give more than passing thought to getting together with people you have come to know so sincerely on this forum, you will be passing a unique experience in life".

We got together with other Pixies at Niagara Falls; Peoria; Nashville and Holland, MI and each trip gave us special memories of some very terrific people.

The get togethers ARE worth it! :thumbs:

I'll have to start thinking about PAGAN 2011! :)

DB

PS ... when I was still hoping we could make it; I put together one idea for a "Name Badge." Feel free to use it as an AV (resized down, of course) if you'd like to. If you want me to make you a "Name Badge," let me know and I'll do it and email it to you. Holders are available at most craft stores.

[Lilith]

Cute DB

[AZRedHot]

That's a great badge, DB!

[Oldfart]

Yep.

[Aqua]

No promises... but I *just* might be able to make it.
Well, I have to recant that statement.

















































Because, I land in Vegas on the 20th!

[Lilith]

Man WHORE!!!!! I swear on all things unholy that this is probably a really bad idea :D:D:D:D

[Neige]

Oh my... Vegas'll catch fire!!!!!!!!

[Lilith]

Hears "Sex is on Fiahhhhhhhhhhhh" playing in her head!

[Oldfart]

So I don't have to go all the way to Seattle to meet you.

[Aqua]

No sir... although it sounds like no one will make it out of Vegas unscathed. :p

"Aqua and Lilith actually meet and Las Vegas spontaneously combusts. Film at 11."

[AZRedHot]

Any other Pixies thinking they need to see the old West and Pixie family this summer?? You know you wanna!

So I've been thinking about Vegas, and would like to make reservations for dinner on the 21st for all of us, which, as far as I can tell, means

Lilith (and Mr. Lil?)
Mr. and Mrs. Oldfart
PF
Aqua
Osuche
Me and Mr. AZRH

I'm going to research nearby restaurants, and find options in several price ranges, and then we can see what's what, unless anyone has any ideas already? The restaurants at Trump are poolside casual or seemingly very expensive for food that sort of scares me, from the pix. :p Or we can order up room service to our suite.

Also, I noticed while looking at the map that the Trump is very close to The Erotic Heritage Museum (http://www.eroticheritage.org/index.php). The admission fee is a somewhat pricey $15 (though I have found a 2-fer coupon that I can make copies of), but it seems like an apropos field trip for Pixies. Anyone interested?

[PantyFanatic]

Sounds great to me. :thumb:

We do have some other Pixies in the 'neighborhood' that should give it a good think. I hope we can meet with more of our members that we have come to know in so many way. :nod:

[gekkogecko]

The Erotic Heritage Museum. Anyone interested?

I'm wondering if you're going to donate anything to the museum while you're there, AZRH.

[PantyFanatic]

A visit for us to EHM almost is obligatory. :boink:

[Lilith]

I think we will be game for most anything on the 21st.

[AZRedHot]

I'm wondering if you're going to donate anything to the museum while you're there, AZRH.

I'm not sure what I would give them.

Wait...are you calling me old, GG?

:p

[PantyFanatic]

This is the time to get serious for all Pixies that really would like to meet the family and have a great time. As AZ has said before, there are many things besides gambling and high ticket nightclub shows (don't tell Vegas I said this) that we can do for little to nothing. Just walking around the old downtown are is a TOTALLY different flavor of Las Vegas than the new glitz on the strip. There are still a few of the old places like the Four Queens, the Fremont and the Golden Nugget left. Besides some of the dog&pony attraction that are unique and cheap, you'll be with people you have come to know for a long time and most likely doing what we spend most of our time doing, …. visiting. :grope:
I can promise anybody that makes the trip will have an experience you'll remember and enjoy for a long time. (even if Lilith picks on you like she does me http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sex014.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org))

[Lord Snow]

For those going to Nevada:http://www.divinecaroline.com/22323/99603-i-m-arrest-what-fifty-bizarre/2 .

Hope you fellas packed your razor. Look at page two for Nevada.

[Aqua]

Nice. :rolleyes:

I'm guess I'm just gonna have to risk it. :D

[Oldfart]

Me too.

[AZRedHot]

Anybody interested in going to the Cirque du Soleil LOVE show at the Mirage on Thursday or Friday night? I'm planning to order tickets this week, and if anyone else wants to go, let me know, and we can work it out to order them so we can sit together.

[Oldfart]

I Believe the Cirque/Criss show was mentioned earlier. Lilith?

[Lilith]

I have not gotten tix yet because they were very expensive and I'm still waiting to see if Most Honorable Son #1 is going with us. If my family attends the Criss Angel Show it would be late on the 20th. If anyone wants to go to that show please PM me so that I can get tix for everyone together.

The two shows will be very different. I love Cirque. We are leaving Thursday for the Grand Canyon.

[PantyFanatic]

I'm down with a show and was thinking about the magician on Tuesday, 20th. But I know Lil would volunteer me for the saw-in-half box……………. (and bring her own saw). I guess I'll have to sit in the back close to the door.:doorpeek:

[Lord Snow]

If Criss Angel's stage show is anything like his tv show, he'd be the one getting sawed in half, not a stage volunteer. Course he doesn't really use the box and standard saw either. On the show he used a suspended table and a very large circular saw.

[PantyFanatic]

:yikes:
Some how she would see to it that I was in there.

[Lord Snow]

Nah, she'd probably just make sure you in were the box that makes people disappear.

[Lilith]

I got a special seat for PF don't you worry about that!

[Lord Snow]

Can't be in Abu Dabi. That's reserved for cute kitty cats.

[sodaklostsoul]

Hope you all have a good time, wish we could go but sadly cannot. Someday I'll get my daught to her namesake.

[lizzardbits]

Mayhem sent the Colors out to AZ Red Hot on Monday. We ment to send them sooner but a whole lotta life happened (closing on a house before deadlines, hospital stay, et cetera) so apologies :)

We hope all of you have a fabulous time! Mayhem and I are looking forwards to the next one we can attend! It was sooooo fun!

[Scarecrow]

Take lots of pictures.

:wtp:


We hope everyone has a good time in Vegas.

[PantyFanatic]

I hope so to. :wish:
I'll be there with Lilith and the only witnesses are going to be her closest friends. :yikes:

[Oldfart]

Hope you all have a good time, wish we could go but sadly cannot. Someday I'll get my daught to her namesake.

You called your daughter PAGAN?

[Lilith]

I hope so to. :wish:
I'll be there with Lilith and the only witnesses are going to be her closest friends. :yikes:

And family. :D

[Oldfart]

And 1.7 million Las Vegans.

[dicksbro]

Hoping your Vegas get together will be fantastic!

OF, looking forward to seeing you on 8/4. Do you know when your train will arrive yet?






I think I just heard someone yelling, "Seven cum :confused: eleven!" Sounds horny to me, buit, oh well, ... place your bets.

[Oldfart]

There's only one, mid-morning.

[sodaklostsoul]

You called your daughter PAGAN?
LOL no her name is Nevada.

But is there a point? :nod:

Yes, it's on the pin we stuck into the map to pick this venue.

24 hours from now I should be about halfway to the aforementioned point. :D

[Teddy Bear]

I hope everyone attending has a great time!!

Safe travels..... and take lots of pics!! :)

[PantyFanatic]

We will. ;)

[Aqua]

I hope everyone attending has a great time!!

Wow... inflight WiFi...

Surfing Pixies at cruising altitude is the closest I've gotten to joining the mile high club. :p

[AZRedHot]

Can't wait to meet everyone!

[sodaklostsoul]

:( Have a good time, wish I was going.

PF leave your shirt in the room then you won't lose it at the crap table. :)

[Lilith]

Great day. It was all I imagined.

[Aqua]

^^^:nod:

Absolutely fabulous day!

[Lilith]

PF was a cock blocker :p

[wyndhy]

i'm smiling so big for you guys right now.^^


hallo the pagans! hope you're all having a great time.

[gekkogecko]

Were you expecting anything else, Lilith?

[Lilith]

I suppose not gg!

wyndhy- wish you were here. :x:

Yesterday afternoon some hit the pool, complete with cabana boys and sexy bikini clad cocktail servers.

Last night we took taxis to the Luxor to see the Criss Angel show. A quick dinner and a show then back to the Mr. & Mrs. Oldfart's ensuite overlooking the vegas strip for some wine and temptation...er I mean conversation.

Today the ladies are breakfasting at the Bellagio while the ancient ones go blow stuff up and the rest chill and take in the sights.

[Oldfart]

It has been great, and now will be a blast.

As usual, a great bunch of people.

AZRedHot and her hubby will be joining us this afternoon, and then this set will be complete.

[Aqua]

I just got out of the shower and need to get dressed to go meet up with, 'The Ancient Ones™'. :rofl:

[Lord Snow]

How was the Criss Angel show?

[Lilith]

Lord Snow-I was very disappointed. It was for 1) not Criss Angel and 2) fake magic :p Thank God my Most Honorable Son #2 is blind practically so he thought it 1) was him and 2) was awesome.

[Lilith]

Shhhhh. Everyone is out at the pool and I've stayed behind to soak in the big ass awesome tub here. AZ and her man have made it but we have yet to meet. Aqua and I spent some quality alone time this afternoon, sans Aqua's body guard. :hot:

[Lord Snow]

Bummer on the show. Technically, all magic is fake. However, it's how it's done that makes the trick impressive. I watch mainly to try and figure out how it was done.

[Lilith]

Then you'd have loved it Lord Snow!

[Lord Snow]

Not if it was poorly done. That and I bought a deck of Criss Angel cards which I would want him to sign if I got the chance. If it wasn't him on the stage, I doubt he'd be backstage for signing an autograph.

[Lilith]

He's signing on the 31st.


Tonight was so lovely. AZRedHot is indeed red hot and her Mr. is a cutie too. PF was caught panty snooping, and it was all I could do to keep mine on ;)

Dinner was fabulous. The OldFarts are such gracious hosts. TaXXXman was generous with sharing me and Aqua was my manwhore. All is right with the world.

[Aqua]

We all converged on Vegas, but it is safe to say that the OFs are the hosts for this years event. (Even if OF did try to shoot my thumb off. :yikes: )

Today was such a great day! (Even considering my thumb injury.) I have really enjoyed getting to spend some time with my fellow Pixies and have especially enjoyed the time I had in the presence of TaXXXman and Most Honorable Son #2.

Dinner was beyond fantastic and my lips are still smiling.

Lil is correct... all is right with the world. :)

[dicksbro]

Wish I was there. Sounds like (dispite Aqua's injury) like a good time is being had by all! Hope it continues and that you all bring back six gazillion pictures to share. (Lil, think of what that'll do for the posting totals :D )

Hugs from all of us homebound Pixies!

[AZRedHot]

It's been a great time so far. Dinner and conversation were fabulous, and I am now waiting for MY big ass bathtub to fill so I can soak before breakfast. It's a tough life, but I'm trying to make it through. :P

[gekkogecko]

Did you get the pics?

Best BIG ass soak you will ever have. Inless of course we all squeeze in to OldFart's tub.

[Lilith]

And this was the best spot for a PAGAN group dinner http://www.maggianos.com/default.asp

[Lilith]

I'm so sad to be leaving today.

[Aqua]

I'm so sad to be leaving today.
Shhhh! We're not speaking of such things.

I'll see you at breakfast!

[dicksbro]

Just all of you be careful and have safe trips home or to your next destination. OF, well look forward to seeing you on the 4th! :wave:

(Don't forget the six gazillion pictures we all want to see.)

[Oldfart]

Lilith has left the building.

[AZRedHot]

Did you get the pics?

But of course. ;) Stay tuned...

It was a most awesome soak. I told Mr. AZRH I wanted one of those tubs at home. I'd never leave it.

[Aqua]

Lilith has left the building.
Please... don't remind me.

But we did not say goodbye... it was see you later. And I'll be damned if it's going to be another 7-8 years before it happens!

[Fangtasia]

One day *sigh*

I sooooo wanna meet you awesome peeps!!!!

Glad to hear that everyone had a great time, and am now hanging for the pics *L*

[Lilith]

Please... don't remind me.

But we did not say goodbye... it was see you later. And I'll be damned if it's going to be another 7-8 years before it happens!


I'm looking for excuses to hunt for elevators still.

Leaving you was sooooooo hard.












literally :hot:

[dicksbro]

Now we'll have to get serious about PAGAN 2011 ...

Dang I wish I could have been in Vegas! Aqua, I know how you feel. After the first one we attended in Niagara, all we could do was think about the next year in hopes we could get together again. Missing this one was really a downer. :(

[Aqua]

I really wish you and the Mrs could have been here, db. Another time... this will not be the last get together I attend. :)

Started off the day with a suicidal luggage bag. It ripped at the seams. After the purchase of a new one, PF and I were off to breakfast with the RedHots and the OFs. Then it was naptime, (I know it's hard to believe, but for reals... it's been a busy week), followed by lunch at the pool, a goodbye to PF, a hunt for Mt Dew, some relaxation, and then our final dinner in Vegas. It was a good long meal with too much consumption of food. :p I am soooo stuffed. All that's left is a final pack, some sleep, and then getting up bright and early to get to the airport.

I am SO glad I made this trip. A truly wonderful experience. :)

[dicksbro]

PF's right when he says you can't possibly know what your missing until you get together with fellow Pixies and find out that, if anything, they're better than you realized from just posting here. A better bunch of people would be hard to find.

Another time will happen and maybe that time we'll be there. I know for sure we'll try.

Like I said, just everyone get home safely. :wave:

[Fangtasia]

Maybe i shouldnt go....hmmmm.....y'all might be disappointed in me

I'm actually really shy :)

[Oldfart]

I'm actually really shy :)

You'd fit in just fine. The get togethers are about enjoyment, not egos.

[Lilith]

Maybe i shouldnt go....hmmmm.....y'all might be disappointed in me

I'm actually really shy :)


I think that every time too Fang. I worry that I'm not going to be what people expect. Ask Aqua how many times I warned him.

Fang we love you and if you are shy then you can be shy or maybe because it is us you wouldn't be as shy as you think. :grope:

[Aqua]

Lil is so right... AND I couldn't tell you how often she warned me that I'd be disappointed, because I lost count. (Though the truth is she is every bit as wonderful in person as she is online.) I was a little worried it'd be awkward, but hanging out and talking with everyone was as easy as logging in and reading/replying to a post.

[AZRedHot]

Easier...no typos to correct. :p

[Aqua]

Easier...no typos to correct. :p
:rofl:

So true!

[Aqua]

Come. We'll do dinner. Shows. Chit-chat. It'll be fun!
100% correct, you're a prophet! ;)

[PantyFanatic]

....PF leave your shirt in the room then you won't lose it at the crap table. :)
As mentioned, my choice of chance is on the craps tables. :D A trip to Monaco and playing in Le Grand Casino of Monte Carlo is the only place on earth more fetching of participating than Las Vegas. After a long absence (which our cab drivers were quick to point out :o ) from repeated visits past, I confess to the attraction and did take an allocated daily purse for the dancing dominos. As I seemed to be the solo PAGAN with such a desire, gaming was not on the top of our option list and probably was well. :rolleyes2 So PAGANS being the considerate bunch they are, after the fantastic dinner we sojourned on a cooler evening (96F [37C] :faint: ) stroll for the sights on the strip and possible encounter with a croupier.

We did happen onto a double ended table at the Encore but would have not been my first choice with a $25 minimum. [For the craps players~ My bet method is a minimum 'Don't Pass' on the come-out roll, then only bet minimum across the 4, 10 and 5, 9 box bets with a double on the bottom of the point. I backup the 'wrong' with the table odds of 3 times for the outside or 2 times for the 5 or 9. I never bet the 6 or 8 with only the 6 to 5 odds and don't back the 'wrong' with 5 ways to make the point and 6 ways to 7-out. You can see the balance of the 'stay bets' against the 'wrong' if the point is made and the payoff if it isn't for minimum wins and looses until a few good point runs and the 7-outs come together for good hits and you go home.] With uninterested but polite friends standing by from walking off the decadent dinner and a $25 min table, I put two day play money up with a modified method http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-think004.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) and chanced for the initial runs. In the next ten minutes it didn't happen! LOL

[PantyFanatic]

The next afternoon we headed to the Mirage for pre-show dinner and came upon a $10 table. :D Still above my method bankroll I again put the other two days allocation together and ran a few minutes, again with my trusty companion, OldFart, standing by. After a steady grind downwards I found the secret. OldFart left to catch up with the group in the restaurant.http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-talk005.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)DO NOT let OF or Lilith near you when gambling!!! ;) I walked away with $70sum of my stash in 10 minutes.

After witnessing the mind blowing show, "Love", we returned for drinks and a long chat session (it's what we do best :nod: ) in the opulent lobby of the Trump. :) As the night wore on the kibitzing and other activities of the day took their toll by midnight, so I left for Circus-Circus where Aqua and I were staying. The driver left me off at a different door and low-and-behold, ……..my path took me through the pits where there were $5 min tables. :D :D I had the remnants of my gambling money and could run a few cycles my way. After an hour and a half I had $17 more than I came to town with and knew this was not going to gold strike visit, so I packed it in after the few short skirmishes and something better than a loss for my renewed contact with Vegas. :rofl:

[Lilith]

Glad to hear you borrowed your $$ back :p PF it was fun watching you that night. Perhaps I may be bad luck.

[PantyFanatic]

.... Perhaps I may be bad luck.
Perhaps?!?! :hair: After what you do to me here I should have known better.


lol

[dicksbro]

LOL! Sounds like you had fun!

BTW ... who know is the proud custodian of "The Colors?"

[Coaster]

^^^ I was JUST thinking that DB!!!!! ^^^

After reading about all the fun you all had I became very envious! Hope to make one of these PAGAN's one day before I need a walker!

Thanks for posting so I can live vicariously through you!

[Lilith]

Me! I have PF's monstrosity.

[AZRedHot]

Me! I have PF's monstrosity.

And bless Lil and TaXXXman for volunteering to take it, lest I have to explain the thing to security a second time!

[PantyFanatic]

:rofl:

[PantyFanatic]

There is a PAGAN-10 pic thread in Couples Pictures for registered members only to view. :nod:

[Lilith]

Border Patrol confiscated it. :(

[Scarecrow]

Yea, but I'm not in them.

[AZRedHot]

Border Patrol confiscated it. :(

Aw, what a shame... :p

[Oldfart]

I just returned from PAGAN 2010 phase2 with the DBs and the Scarecrows.

As usual they were great hosts and a great day was had.

Both expressed disappointment at missing Vegas, but 2011 is not too far away.

Thanks again to you both for a good, fun day.

[dicksbro]

It was a fun day, OF, and i was great seeing you. Just wish M could have been there, too. As an added bonus, we even let you get a glimce of a good ol' midwestern gully-washer. :)

You know what we missed was a good group photo. You may have to come back so we can try again. :boink:

[Oldfart]

We'll cut and paste, I'll save Amtrak for next visit.
