So when's our Boards Beers USA?

    After having yet another government-funded trip to Vegas, I've gotten to wondering. There are enough of us out here, surely some form of gathering would be possible?

    Obviously, I suggest that it be held in San Francisco.

    However, in all reasonableness, if you're going to have a party, how about Vegas? Guns, booze, gambling, and what happens in Vegas....

    No huge hurry, but maybe before the end of the year?

    Would you be interested in attending a Boards Beers USA? 14 votes

    Hell, no. I'd rather stay in a hut in Montana

    Only if it's within driving distance. And a GMC Suburban doesn't go too far

    I don't understand the last option :(

    Never the less, I am DOWN!!! I've been feeling like an alcoholic around these Californians, its quite depressing!

    I'm not sure that the Atari Jaguar ever made it over here. But what could be more 'American Kid's Toy' than the Radio Flyer Wagon?

    NTM

    Im in once I can get a reasonably priced flight/drive from The South. Know what you mean about feeling like an alco. I started a new job and in idle conversation "Do you drink" was asked of me. Can you imagine such a question being asked at home!

    I'd definitely be up for this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭lil_lisa


    BUMP!

    Where's everyone located? It would be nice to find a neutral place and go for a small weekend break! :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 394 ✭✭boarddotie


    NOLA but vegas would be great!

    I actually would rather be in a hut in Montana than where I am now. I'm basically in a version of Montana without the montanas...North Dakota. Still here!

    I'm up for this if it's still in the works? I'm kind of an equal distance from everywhere. Cities I can get to in one flight are Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago. Since it's baltic here in the winter and I wound't mind thawing out for a day or two, I suppose this is another vote for Vegas/that whole area

    Puerto rico? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 744 ✭✭✭Darren1o1


    Boston, or better yet New Hampshire! I know what you guys mean, I still stick out in a college (party) town....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭firefly08


    Of those willing to travel beyond the range of a Suburban, the Vegases have it, so far. Anyone still considering this for 2010? For me it'd be January at the earliest. Back to Ireland in a week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭lil_lisa


    I couldn't imagine going before the end of the year. And at this time of the year it gets pretty chilly at night, right?

    Would Vegas be the right place though? I couldn't imagine meeting you all and trying to get to know people in huge nightclubs and crazy surroundings!

    I know what you mean. I voted Vegas mainly because it's easy for me to get to, and I imagine it's easy to get to no matter where you are in the states. But I'd be open to other ideas.

    Excluding Hawaii and Alaska, where is the exact centre of balance for the US? ;)

    I guess we're all going to Kansas City... or Iowa. Or somewhere in there.

    And what do you mean the government sends you to Vegas?! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭firefly08


    bump? Or did it already happen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 689 ✭✭✭Khyra24


    Is a Boards Beers in New York possible? I'd be up for it :)

    Why must everyone be so far away? *sobs*

    Boston would be better for me as I live in Rhode Island. :)
