Post-pandemic Swamp Up
Giff’s joke(?) about wanting to get out to Vegas got me to thinking we should try to do a meet up in Vegas one weekend once the worst of the pandemic is behind us but when it’s still cheap(-ish) to travel, maybe for a football weekend next fall (hopefully) or maybe like the playoffs in January 2022. Any excuse to finally get together in groups again.

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
I would like that.
Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
A place like Vegas might even entice old-time Swampers like Keg and Hood.

I'll be an hour flight away, so sure. Plus my wife has never been and I know people there.

Hopefully I will be at the point where I can beg for a guest spot in a club one night so I can say I headlined the swamp

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
We’re doing this after Brian can no longer comp us rooms?
Anyway, it’s a six-hour drive for me. I’m in. And I have room for five more in the RV.

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

I’ll pick up Syb’s remains and bring them if he doesn’t make it.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

Only if we all wear matching t shirts at all time like family reunions at Disney.
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

I’m pretty sure this was a lock.

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
So what's up with the guy who only revealed his left arm? He seems shy.

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
I cropped him (and his gf (or was it fiancé?)) out because they weren’t swampers and more importantly didn’t have matching shirts in that photo.
Plus the really shady guy is the one who revealed everything BUT his left arm.

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
So, who’s between Brian and A_B? Bobby P.?

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
Kinda sad in a way that we were already talking about the "end" of the pandemic in Nov 2020.
Anyway, finally got to meet sancarlos in person yesterday and we had a great time catching up, having a couple of beers and one of the things that came up was the idea of trying to do actually do this one of these days. Probably not until closer to the actually real endemic phase of this thing but maybe next spring or even possibly this fall.
Always nice to meet up with a Swamper I haven't met IRL before though.

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
SCK is a great guy, sad we're changing software vendors so I won't be making semi-annual trips to SF so I can have my semi-annual beer with the guy.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
I'll hopefully see both brian and SCK soon. Vegas at end of April/first of May and Bay Area in June. We thought we would only be in California for 10 days maybe, but then we realized we work from home and would have a free/comfortable place to stay/work, so we may stay an extra three weeks or so.

If you only have 3 weeks, do you really want to waste an evening with SCK?Giff wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 3:55 pm I'll hopefully see both brian and SCK soon.

You can never do the walking tour of San Carlos (town, not human) enough.

Re: Post-pandemic Swamp Up
Hey hey hey everybody come on out and enjoy the west coast! See you soon, Giff, DSafe, and whoever else visits!
Yep it was good hanging with Brian. I think the logical big swamp party would be in Vegas, to celebrate when Johnnie gets out of the service!

Is that the "crap part of Jersey"?
