This is an event for those times when you joke about going to Vegas with your buddies and someone checks on airfare, hotel and PTO days left in the year and then NOTHING happens. Everyone has a good laugh thinking about the debauchery that would ensue and loads of money they'd lose and then everyone goes back to staring into their computer screens all day while checking their e-mail every five minutes. Well it's not happening this time.

This is for those times when you flew to Vegas with nothing but an ATM card with the withdrawal limit freshly removed but no one's there to keep track of your deadbeat gambling addiction.

Or for those times when you go to Vegas for 24 hours and have to tell the story over and over to your friends because they weren't there.

Or for those times when you go to Vegas with a crew full of people and not quite everyone is there.

Or for those times when you come back from Vegas and you don't have enough to pay the $4 AirBART fare and no buddy to bail you out.

I'm going to get a bit sentimental here for a second. We're all getting a bit older every year and we're not the party animals that we once used to be. People are getting married, having babies, getting new jobs, moving out of town, starting new chapters in their lives. Before we all start becoming the old, middle-aged fogeys of the world, let's have a crazy ass night in Las Vegas.

Why one year in advance? (We created this event back in April of 2010.) It's for those flaking, wishy-washy, "You gotta book me months in advance", "I have a child", "I have a gambling problem", "I don't have enough money" people. You have one year to clear out one weekend in 2011. Book that babysitter, finish up that degree early, accrue those frequent-flier miles, scrounge up all the change underneath the sofa cushions and let's get it going! Bring all your friends! We don't need to all hang out in Vegas, but it would be one hell of a plane ride if we booked the same flight. Honestly, this is just an excuse to lock in a fun weekend away from everything. Maybe we'll see each other at the craps table or in the Las Vegas county jail.

Janelle and I started this as a joke but now we're committed to make it happen big time. We threw out an arbitrary (but lofty) goal of getting 100 people to come. So even if you're remotely interested or unsure, just put maybe and we'll be sure to convince you to come by the end of the year. Check back on this event page often, we'll try to put up some fun stuff.
