Hey Vannoth,
I've noticed at the dev panels that in a room with lots of people (some even standing in the back) that a portion of the time is Scott trying to listen to those people asking their question(s) and sometimes can't hear, asking to repeat, or misses a portion of the question. He also has to repeat the question in his microphone to everyone else who didn't hear it. Is it possible to have some event staff with cordless microphones be in the different spots in the room, and when Scott picks a person to speak, the staff can hand him a mike? And then the speaker can hand it back when he's done.
Just an idea.
Edit: And yes! More warp core bowls!

I always furnish the devs with 3 microphones and one cordless microphone in the aisle for people to line up and use.
Its not my fault the devs dont use them. I could provide them with a little user manual, but they'd just throw it away anyways.

According to Las Vegas law...
Assless Chaps are not considered pants and must be covered when in casino's unless you are part of a show.
Sorry Vannoth =(

Ski bibs are grounds for a swift ass kicking.... On the grounds that it's the desert... Overalls are okay tho. I know it's not the same, but Sylvos could make due for a few days I'm sure.

Assless Ski Bibs or Non-Assless Ski Bibs?

I know you didn't bring ski bibs into the conversation.
Don't make me bring some to spite you.

Aside from Quarks and the club afterwards, (which is a given everynight) who is up for Benihana's again?

Helpful Hint:
Get key cell phone #'s in advance of Vegas so you can sort out where most people are at any given time...

Someone want to put a list together, and then PM it out to those attending??

It is looking more like Estheria and I will be attending again. Yes, we would be up for Benihana. Gotta get some more "Raise the Roof" Buddhas.

Benehana is great was a nice time - would definately be up for going again
There was a cell phone list last time.....I'm not sure where it came from but that is a good idea!

This will be my 7th fan faire. There really is never a need for scheduling because 99.99% of the time everyone parties at the FF hotel. If its a hotel with a cool bar/club (which we know will be the case in Vegas) that's where everyone meets up. Sometimes particular groups have a big party in a hotel room (usually a suite) but no one ever hears about it till that night. Being with the folks from Veeshan is so much fun, no one ever wants to go anywhere other than the hotel. Anyone whose been to FF (especially last year!) can back me up. It is quite possibly the most fun you will have all year.
A cell phone list is very helpful at FF. Usually about a week before FF people start trading numbers and names. Names are nice because you can call the hotel front desk and reach them via their room.

LOL dude... At the San Fran Fan Faire I went yo the air port to pick up Dantrin on the first night. When we got there we couldnt figure out where his terminal was so we had to page has ass. After having the lady at the desk page his ass 3 times he still wasn't showing up. So we had the chick page "Dantrin Sigil" and bam the mofo shows up right away lol.

For a schedule, check the hours of operation of Quarks Bar and plan on being there:
Drink some Warp Cores:
Um...larger Warp Cores!:
And whatever this is Aranuil was drinking:
Watch the shaman outdrink everyone!
Drolgin representing the Euros!
After Quark closes you head right outside Quarks to another bar and watch Laliana stangle one of our clerics for missing a CH:
Then head to the nighclub with the Go-Go dancers on the other side of the casino : )

as long as there are blackjack tables and lots of liquor, 125/night is a-ok

Oops! My bad : ) So much for my memory.
...and Warp Cores were two for a dollar! : )

The rate went from $109 to $125 because the fiscal year made me move the dates of the event from the last weekend in March to the First weekend in April.
Doing the best I can with what I'm given, folks.
