FIBS Board backgammon forum

This morning there was discussion about an all fibs party somewhere in the US. Denver and Dallas were suggested because they are reasonably centrally located in the US and are interesting cities. What do you US fibsters think? Is there interest for such a get together? And should it be in the spring or summer?

Have it in Las Vegas and I'll be there!

Oh God.....not in Denver......pa-leeeeeeze

I can already smell csg's dirty undies from here, and he's 1,000 miles away.  No FIBS nerds - just say NO.

Biggles (the most Popular Fibster)

I suggest we do it by poll. People nominate some cities and we vote.  

I suggest you look at a couple cities which are major airline hubs, for fare reasons. Two that come to mind are Chicago and Dallas.


NIHI

Denver an interesting city?

So that's why it's in all the tourist guides! :eureka:

I would like to suggest Atlanta (cause my sis lives there )

I love Hotlanta!  You make it Atlanta and I know for a fact Shuggie will fly across the big pond for it.

Lock up your daughters, mothers, and grandmothers if this goes down in Atlanta.

Only place to have it is in NEW YORK CITY ,  at the ace point .
Also Joe on one leg cant make to anyother place but new york city .  

Anymore word on this?  Lets make this happen folks.  Here are my picks for cities:

Las Vegas
San Diego
Atlanta
Orlando

The Euro's are constantly putting these fibs parties together.  Lets show them what a real fibs party is like!  

Hi, my vote is either Atlanta or Vegas.  At either place, we can make it a bit cheaper than New York.

Speak for yourself. It would be cheaper for me in NYC!

I dont know what the time scales are - but in november, vegas will have a visit from a certain, erm, quiet and shy British female fibster....  you might want to factor that in and maybe suddenly NYC looks even more appealing

Well, hell, if we're figuring in when people will already be in New York, I'll be there exactly two weeks from today, having a drink with lewscannon and trying to visit with a few others.  Let's do it then.

Seriously, though, I think Las Vegas would be the most fun and would provide a location to which most everyone can find cheap flights and to which most everyone will need to travel, making it a fun vacation for all.  

Mookie, about whom I can not say enough

I agree with Lews it would be cheaper for me also in New york , )

Mookie what are your dates in new york ? i was thinking of leaving on around the 25or 27th of june , for the tourney in michingan . it happens june 30th - july 4th weekend ,

let me know ill try to over lap your visit and leave after

My vote is Santa Barbara California for the Fibs party  

Which gf was that you left in Santa Barbara, vic?  I left my heart in San Francisco, so I will vote for there.    Isn't Patti still there, also?

I'll be in New York June 22-June 26.  Lewscannon is my social director for a drink or two on one of the evenings I'm there.  I'm staying somewhere near Times Square and since my son will be staying at the hotel while I'm out for a drink, I'm hoping that good ole lews won't mind coming in and telling me where to meet him for a drink.  He can post the time/place and see who can come along.

mookie, who will be at the braves-oakland game tonight.

Actually, I think that's a really wonderful idea, socksey.   That is, to take the party to Patti.  While it's a long trip for the east coasters, New York would be a long trip for the Westies.  Make it a good date, and I'll be there.

And, for you, snowflakes, I'll be in Boston for five days in November.  Think we can get a drink?

Vegas, Santa Barbara, SF or NYC...all sound great to me...

I'm honored to be chosen as the social director of Mookie's tour of the great cheese factories of the NorthEast. I am trying to locate bars that serve Thunderbird or moonshine, so he'll feel at home
