Ok, here's the deal...

Ok Fellers, pretty soon I'll start a thread for actually planning this event.

For those new to this thread, keep voting.

Just an idea...

How about a Fri-Sunday Vegas convention?

The "actual" convention would be Sat & Sun but Friday could be reserved for the 1st. Annual Stratomatic Golf Open.

Maybe a shotgun start friday afternoon? Followed by cocktails, gambling, more cocktails and then strippers :!:

How 'bout it? :D

[Stoney18]

Definitely in for Vegas and Golf.

[cummings2]

Well, I don't know how to play golf...(or Strat for that matter) BUT Vegas sounds good, I'm game for it all.

The first annual SOM Golf open...good idea Ty.

It's a perfect cover for married guys. Your wife is wondering how she married a geek that seemed cool at one time, lo so many years ago. Meanwhile, you are immersed in debauchery at the "Strat Convention".

"Why is it Vegas?" she asked.

"They always holds the Strat convention in Vegas."

She Googles. [b:0e9db0c901]"strat convention las vegas". [/b:0e9db0c901]Sho' 'nuff, there it is.

Q. Are we talking about using actual cards if we can actually get some games in? That would be a blast.

Study up on your SA rules.

[ANDREWLAITURI]

We're all devious as hell! :lol: :twisted:

I absolutely LOVE the SOM Golf annual idea! That idea just totally kicks a$$!!

As for whether or not we'd be using real cards...I was thinking it'd be much easier then everyone trying to remember to bring their lappers.

[ANDREWLAITURI]

Well it looks like we've got the place and a rough outline of events, now we just need to figure out some dates that would work for people so we can get as many of the fellas as we can get to attend.

Sounds fun, but it's on the wrong side of the country.

Now I understand why it has to be there, but like I am real sure my wife would allow me to go to Vegas ans hand out with a few Strato geeks.. I mean entrepeneurs(spelling). 8)

Oh well... maybe next year. and come to an Eastern/Southern State... say Tennessee, Georgia, etc etc. :lol: :lol:

[ANDREWLAITURI]

I'm totally up for that too. East coast one year somewhere, Vegas the next. This way we can incorporate more folks into it. :D

[visick]

How can we pass up on Las "Sin City" Vegas?

You guys nuts or what?

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

How about a vote?

Vegas vs. New York or Atlantic City? (Or somewhere else...)

MY VOTE IS VEGAS.
