Has any decisions been made about the dates and location yet?
Also, do any of the 2006 attendees remember what the name of the ice cream company that NB worked for and graciously brought gallons of the tasty stuff for us to devour?

wasn't it blue bell
-
Yeah I think it was Blue Bell. Good stuff.
Also if there is a con and to anyone who goes, don't get the room next to 1ijac. Lots of weird sounds coming from that room all hours of the night. Kept me awake for the whole con last year.:rofl
Just kidding dude!!! Enjoyed meeting you last year. Now if we can keep Doobs from making an bellybutton of himself at the next one we'll be all right. I caught him a couple of times sneaking peaks into the Pilates class that was going on in the next door conferance room. What a pervert:aok
I'm going to try and make the next one though, and Doobs I'll bring my black cowboy hat next time just to make you feel better. LOL
-
I hope, wish, implore HT for an East Coast Con this year! nPhilly would be a great choice, lots of history! And besides Atlantic City is not far, and could use getting your money
:)

Oh don't forget the emergency trip to Fry's with MartryB and I to get you a new laptop so you could fly at the con. What was it? New laptop, headset with boom mic, joystick and a case and you still flew like crap:D I have the pics so don't make me upload them.
The fajitas were good though!!!!!!!
-
ok another 2500.

1i....
I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you have cause to go to Arizona, Blue Bell is available there. We have been in Phoenix and Tuscon for a couple of years now and opened a transfer station in Yuma last year.
Here is a link.... http://bluebell.com/bluebell_country.aspx
BTW, I do know that a con is being discussed. If it happens, it will be in the Dallas area.

Even more of a reason to have the con in Phoenix, AZ!
:aok

I second the Atlantic City vote......:)

You did not mention the cost of that great gaming laptop you bought Doobs. :)
Sondog and I hope to make it again, but only time will tell.
Hope to see more ice cream NB. :) Sure enjoyed meeting all you guys.
1ijak Jed still has the Hurr model on his dresser.

I'm seriously thinking about doing the $89/ four 1/2 gallons of ice cream shipped across the country. I live in CT, so this is my only chance to try it out, and if its as good as everyone has been raving, then why not?
What would you recommend for flavors?
-
NB,
Was just curious because out here in Southern California I tested a new ice cream to the region called "Blue Bunny". Funny thing is that they had flavors that you had at the Con and it was good. Couldn't remember yours but knew it was Blue...something. Looked on the carton and it said it was from Iowa it think. Anyways, hope to see all you fellas again soon and NB, Comon back in the game! I never seeya anymore.
BTW, talked to Coach to see if he had any ideas and if he was involved with the Con. Dunno what this means but he said look at October.
I would imagine that it will be in Dallas.
Daddog, glad to hear Sondog is still enjoying a passion for planes. :)

HT grew up within spitting distance of the Blue Bunny factory. He is now a confirmed Blue Bell Banana Split lover ( I know...I'm sooooo evil :D). Here's a little test for you to try with the Bunny. Next time you get a bowl, take about 1/2 a scoop and put it on a saucer. Leave it on the counter while you have your bowl. When you come back, it should be a pool of melted cream. More often than not, it will look like a pile of cottage cheese. This is from all of the preservatives they have to use. Sounds like that is something I can try for the next Con....:).
Yah, October was the word I heard also. BUT, nothing is set until it is announced....or not. I assure you I will be bugging him about it....soon. :)
-
i`m all for Atlantic City that be great for me and a few other guys i know that play in MarylAnd.:aok
-
I'm all for leaving it in DFW but I'm biased.. and October? great that gives me time to almost finish all the house renovations before guests arrive :D
-
NB,
I'm partial to the banana split flavor myself also. :cool:

Yes, it was funny to see you with your head stuck in the carton trying to lick the last of it off the bottom. :)
-
Yes, Con dates, please!
Summer vacation plans are starting to be made, and I'm already concerned that I can't make a June date 'cuz of other travel plans.
Like last freaking year. :(

Well, my understanding is that Grapevine is the place because HTC lacks the personal and resources to go glavanting around the country.

Darn. Hope not. If it is after June 20th and before Aug 20 I can go since it is my summer time. :)
If it works out I think the Mongrels will make a good showing this year. :)

Atlantic city would be awsum, seems there are alot of us jersey dudes here in Ah now adays, maybe we could put an east coast con togeather our selves.
-
It has been rumored that if it happens ... it will probably be in the October time frame and will be in the Dallas/Grapevine area.
The main reason for the having the con in the Dallas/Grapevine area is so that most or all of the HTC staff can attend, which is very important IMHO.
I went to the con in St. Louis and only HT came ... it was a great con.
The next year is was in Dallas/Grapevine and all HTC staff attended ... it was a much better con.
-
nerd fact alert (wooo wooo woo)
until recently, outside of texas you could pretty much only get blue bell ice cream from outback steakhouse. our managers were always harping on that.
i pretty much hated the job but half price filets and blue bell ice cream....almost made it worth it.
also, why not have the convention in the middle of the east coast to allow more people to have access...say Raleigh, NC is pretty close to center!

Greetings,
Two words, Helendale, California.
I know the people who run the hotel. (We could put up 20 to 30 people easy)
I know the people who run the tavern. (we could set a 'reasonable' price for beer)
I know the people who run the Party Place. (we could, maybe, set it up for LAN and internet access if I talk real nice to Verizon California)
Regards,

so are we not going to have a con this year. would like to know a few months ahead of time heck it cost me close to a grand for plane tickets

I believe Skuzzy already said it'll be in Baghdad this year... satelite internet connection, 115 in the shade, bottled water for your morning shower, no alcohol or porn though more sheep than you can shake a stick at!
