Wolverines

EDIT**

Alright everyone is welcome in Vegas it will be June 12-15th @ The Flamingo!

Attendees will make their own reservation prior to Wednesday, May 13, 2009 by calling the Hotel direct at 1-800-286-0193, please refer to the event name of Wolverines Group.  All reservations require a first night’s deposit at the time the reservation is made.  Credit cards used for deposit will be charged immediately.

Cost for the entire hotel stay is 219+tax. That includes double occupancy so if there is a Wolverine you want to bunk with and split the cost there is no additional fee.

If you change your mind there is not penalty or cost as long as you cancel your reservation before May 13th.

I'm going to go ahead and book mine ASAP so it is bought and paid for. Then I only have to worry about spending monies.

Once you have booked please notify me Via PM or this thread as I will be double checking to make sure everything is correct prior to May 13th. We will have one "block of rooms" meaning the more the marrier bring your friends we will have a whole hallway to ourselves to party in.

Woot I'm in.  Who wants to be my little spoon?

I may be needing a roomy, still not sure if my mrs. is going to make the trek.

Turk, you still in on this shit?  Any other Columbusites going?  Let's work out who's sleeping with...err...in the same room as who then book some fucking rooms.  This is going to be Rad McAwesome.

We also need to make sure we're on the same flight so we can coordinate our farts so the plane smells the entire way there.

I am in.  Get to hound dogs tonite at 6:30 and we can discuss.

check flights outta Dayton, its a bit more of a drive but last we checked considerably cheaper.

Wish I had spare money, Vegas would be a blast :(

Dude you got 250 days till we go. Put aside 50 bucks a week or so you'll have 1750+

1750-375(for hotel)-200(flight)= 1175$ to gamble drink and eat with the Wolvies in Vegas = Priceless.

I realize that not everyone can afford to take off because of a number of issues, but were pretty far out still plenty of time to save.

I'm saving myself for the wolverines. I want you all to be my first.

Lies!

whoever I bunk with I will pay for the room since I have been know to expel noxious fumes whilst asleep.

Alright guys the number is up on the original post we are good to go!!! This is going to be fucking awesome.

Can someone sticky this :-)

Im rooming with ella  =D

though we might miss some of the events.  >.>

LIES!

...you aint sharing with me...

i'll share with rand....

Done

Lies again ella!!  just you and me and my mountain of chocolate.  =P

Would you 2 get a thread already god

Hey now, If Ella says she wants to room with me, who are we to deny her wishes?!

You'll have a spot in my room Ella.

we have a thread,  we have several.  We just like to keep it exciting.  and no rand she is mine.

She can still be yours amigo! I'm just saying she can stay in my room.

I'll take Rand. :-)

now now boys, plenty of Ella to go around...

seriously though, this all depends if i am back in the us by then.

hopefully, yes

Oh yes you will. You'll take every bit of me. AND LIKE IT!


Let's just say we all hope so. Ella fun = Epic fun

 :D

I know you are all going to cancel your reservations after I ANNOUNCE this.

Phat and his Woman are going to Las Vegas (I call her Christine)

Plus we will have just both turned 21 in April/May So All thats left now is Moneyz.

It will be a great end to my school year since I graduate from Computer school may.

I am so excited and yet still we have another vacation planned for this christmas but WTF cares The Wolvies won't be there.
 :D

Excellent.

Punctuation, complete sentences, oh my! I am buying you a beer in Vegas Phat!

So, im not where near having the money for this but am trying to set some aside. Can we call them and reserve and pay by the deadline date in may or do we have to pay at the time of reservation?

"All reservations require a first night’s deposit at the time the reservation is made.  Credit cards used for deposit will be charged immediately."

So ya they will take 145.00 when you make the reservation then 230.00 left to pay. It is a good way to get moving in that direction.  :-D

Vegas, prepare yourselves for some serious nerdery!!!

Thinking of dusting off my [absolute lack of] poker skills this year.

I love poker but I think I would be way to intimidated to play in vegas :-) maybe with chow by my side MAYBE 

I'll stand by your side, and watch you lose your money! I'm good for things like that. I have no poker face any more, now that I shaved my beard.

ok I think I am going. I hate pretty much all of you and I am sure one of you will be punched in the face or farted on. So get ready.

Now just to talk Bleedhoof into going.

I don't mind being pummeled in the face or getting farted on, so long as you don't mind me returning the favor.

I am so doing this

"GROUP DISCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE!"

You need to meet us in Louisville for the Knob Creek machine gun shoot.....all those are there

Im in for that one.

Just a reminder of where to spend your tax refund money now that w-2s are going out.

I expect more than JT and me to be falling from barstools and missing the craps table throwing dice due to going blind from dranks.

Double Down Lounge + assjuice = happy joel

I don't drink.

I can totally feel where you are.... Wait.  WHAT?

I don't drink.

Is that check in check/out dates or is that dates of nights that we'll be in the rooms?

check in check out dates

I'm calling massive shenanigans on that one.

Do you know if the hotel will work out deals for plane tickets as well.  Otherwise I'll try to get mine booked sometime next month.

All us Columbus types need to get together and figure out how we are doing the plane tickets.  And we need to do this before I allocate funding for the trip to something else.

As the day gets closer, it's looking like I probably won't be back in the States in time to do this. I'm talking with my Retention NCO currently for Re-enlistment, so we'll see if he can get us out of Germany any faster, but who knows.

Yall want to meet up at a place that has wifi and figure it out?  Someone else would need a laptop but we could do it that way.

Adriataco's for dinner?

tomorrow? I have dinner plans already ;(

I'm good either day.  Just let me know.

Dinner plans?  Who are you?

THURSDAY! 6?

OMG!

TONIGHT. SIX.

If you make it at like.. 7:15-30 I can make it (work till 7)  Or just tell me what you all figure out and then I'll just do that :)

OMFG HERDING CATS!!

We'll drink til you get there how about that?

if you give me a few days ill driver there do you think your livers can handle that

Arctic, don't lay down that kind of gauntlet.  Cause I'll run through it.  I will.

6?  Done.  Nick, leave work early.  Tell my brother I said, "Let my people go!!!"  Then tell him I said, "Go fuck yourself."

Done.

JT I tried but your brother is a slave driver. 

hit him in the gooch!

I'll get there earlier than expected, say 6:30ish

edit: anyone got an address or a site I can look at to find directions?

Is that adriaticos or hound dogs?  I thought we were going to adriaticos.....

If you guys are going to adriodicos tonight  I am in.

Now you can work on your next big decision....engagement ring!!!

ok I map quested it, A case of Amp, a few empty bottles to pee in and Ill be there before closing on Friday night, well un less Ohio is whimpy and the bars arnt open past 2 am

Per a request via text message from Red while I was busy launching out F-16's (not to mention taking a ride in one the day before) and to re-iterate my post from earlier in this thread:  Yes.  I'm going to Vegas.  No drill that weekend!!!! FUCKING AMAZING.  No shit, right?

Ok.  Columbus peeps. I am up to 5 that are 100% a go.  Here is who I have atm.

Turkley
JT
Gron
RedDawn
BCBrent

If you are not in this list, are 100% going, and want to be on the same flight as us, you need to let me know asap as I am going to start looking for plane tickets.

ARE you ready for this?

Thanks Luke,
Sorry about the trouble. I will be lowering the cost of the entire stay of your party to 219$(!!!!!!!!156 bucks!) .  I will
process on my end ASAP.

I am also checking into the Reservations situation.  I believe the
problem is that your group has to mention the group dates of 6/12-15/09
for them to find the group in they system, it won't show up on alternate
dates although they can book alternate dates if necessary at time of
reservation.

Please advise your guests to hold off booking right now and I will fix
and let you know when we're all set ASAP.  Thanks again,

holy shit. thats a bargin. 73 bucks a night!

I cat remember if i asked this, but if i wanted to upgrade, get a "go" room or whatever there called, does that take me out of this thing or can i still get a discount on one of those?

You'll have tot talk to the reservations people I know you can make special request book extra nights ect ect....

I don't know if I am going now i just got this from Varg:

mach0gazpach0: Hey what's a go room?

dannycblair: it's a room with a plasma in the shitter, round vibrating bed, padded headboard, mirrors on the ceiling....crazy shit man

mach0gazpach0: wow that's intense

dannycblair: yeah we're going to hire a few little short mexican dudes to bounce up and down in the bed while we're going at it...gonna be CRAZEEE

mach0gazpach0: um

dannycblair: dude!!! me and the wife like to party

mach0gazpach0: I guess

lol +1

LOL

Just a quick update. I sent the hotel rep an email today to see if it was ok to book yet. Should know tomorrow.

I'm back on the fence.....I was invited to go to Outer Banks with Grabass in august.....that's tempting

fuck you man.  you back out and I'm setting your fucking hospital on fire.

please do

dude you just threatened to set my car on fire earlier today. do you need a hug?

No, what I need is for people to stop being such faggots.  You're in the back seat.

(http://www.sl-designs.com/images/free-backgrounds/smiley-hug3_sl-designs.jpg).

I might be able to afford both I don't know. Vegas is cool and all but I've been there several times and a week on a beach for 200 bucks sounds pretty sweet.

Being in Vegas and Being in Vegas with Wolverines are two entirely different experiences.

BUT you haven't been with all the wolvies at once, which you know legendary things will happen.

yeah everyone bringing their wives who will kabash all the REAL fun will be great....Varg...I know...your wife likes to party

It will be me, nick and JT doing epic things....the rest of you will be at Thunder Down Under like little bitches

You've never met my wife. She's been trained by me and my old Army buddies. She'll be right in the mix.

We are good to go. Make sure to mention the dates when booking. :-D

Unno,
I tried to book again and she said its listed as a rooming list and that apparently means, that she can't take the reservation.  She said it has to be listed as something else in order for her to take the reservation.  Tell your guy to get his shit together!

and everyone stop being faggots....for JT's sake please

JT you can ride down to OBX with me and drink on the beach. Get it done.

head gasket blown on the grand am. sold to some dummy.  i am in a financial shit hole right now trying to get a new ride. Hoping to get this shit streight before nerdapaloza in vegas.

quit blowing things

Unno, any updates?  I wanna reserve stuff! :)

Ugh I sent this Ian guy a nasty email. He told me everything was fixed and it isn't I don't know whats going on.

Dude says were good to go blah blah blah we have heard it before I havn't had a chance to call and try to book, but if it doesn't work this time I might have to tell this guy to go fuck himself and we work something else out. group code is TFWLV9R or have the search for Wolverines group june 12-15th  Ill try to make mine tomorrow morning and let you all know what happens.

Ok I'll try tomorrow morning as well

BOOKED!!!!!!  Good job Unno.  Also, its listed at a Rooming List, and they will say they can't book it, but tell them to look closer and it should say its a call in list and that means she can book it.  I used the group code and the date range for the reservation.

EDIT:  Also, Gron, JT, Brent, and Red, I am going to start looking for plane tickets now.  Red, I need a 100% confirmation that you are in ASAP.  The rest of you, I'll let you know when I buy them so you can get me the cash.

Hey Tom,

Let me know the price of the plane tickets before purchasing if possible.  If you would have the available funds, I may have one more to add on there (or you can tell me what flight and what airline and I could do that seperate).

Thank you sir.

I'll let you know approximately since it could change from when I tell you to when I buy them, but ya, I think I can handle 1 more ticket.  That's assuming everyone pays me back. :P

I think you should buy my ticket as well, but without repayment.

Yeah not going to be able to make this one. My car just died and I am looking for a sweet Mustang to buy.

Buy GM (Camero comes out this fall)

I was mocking Varg :P

aww Red

Not sure if this helps you Ohio boys looking for flights

http://www.akroncantonairport.com/cheapflightstovegas.htm

Well, I am officially unable to go. I am going to be working the mission shift for the next 90 days, and won't be in the States again until possibly October.

LOL
Mustang has been boughted. Trying to REsave for this trip.

FINE I WILL FUCKING GO!

I plan on eating In N Out for every meal so you guys can go fuck yourself trying to get me to stand in an hour long line for some hillbilly buffet

At least your going!  Though I might peer pressure you into trying flamingo's breakfast buffet, but trust me it's well worth the price of admission :)

Was anyone else able to book their rooms?

I wanted to ask about that actually, has everyone figured out room situations or are there others looking for one to stay in?  Also how many people per room? 

Either way I'll be good just wanted to make sure everyone had something figured out.

do we get the discounted rates if only 7 people show up?

Nick, what is your real first name?  Or should I just use Nick on the plane ticket?

Nick will work or you can use Nicholas

Our flights are booked.  6 of us are 100% in now.  The rest of you get your shit together!

I'm out.  Just can't handle the finances right now, with all the crap going on. 

I want some storries like this one when you guys get back.

So Scott's brother lives in Vegas.  Some of you know who Scott is, some don't
Scott, his brother and one of his brother's friends go to some place where you can get a giant hotdog and  a beer for 3bucks or some other cheep prince.  His brother's friend got two and of course couldn't eat the 2nd one.  They walk out on the strip and see a bum on the other side of the sreet.

Brother's Friend "HEY BUM!"
Bum "yeah?"
Brother's Friend "Want a hot dog?!"
Bum "YEAH!"

He then chucked a hot dog across the 6 lanes of traffic,  the bum caught it and said thanks.

Im in the last min crowed, but i only live 10 hours form the strip so i can get there quikly

I still need a room.

I'll room with ya.....we can spoon

guys when are we putting in the order for the guild shirts?

(http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/misc/pictures/nerds.jpg)

Everyone else squared away with rooms before I make a reservation?

ok...who is definitely going??? The rooming assignments as of now:

Turkley/JT
Red/gr0n
Nick/Nicks Man Servant
Unno/Blow-up sheep

Unno are we going to need to book 10 rooms to get the discount?

that is correct 10 rooms, I have been avoiding writing this trying to find a way around it but.... My dad got laid off effective in two weeks all the money I have saved for vegas is probably go to keep a roof over my family and electricity on :-( I don't know what else to do, but Vegas is going to be impossible unless something happens quickly I.E. I win the lotto or my dad finds a new job (not likely with the current climate)

So, who else is going?

and how much are the rooms if we don't get the discount? Now we might have to go 4 to a room...air mattresses for the win.

oh and you all fucking suck for not going.....except Unno. I can't afford this trip but I am going. EPIC FAIL.

I can give you the number or Email of Ian zietzer he is the guy I have been talking to and he could let you know. The way things are going in Vegas I bet he will probably still give you a the cheap rate despite how many rooms you get.

Unno,
Send me the info.  I'll give him a call and see what we can work out.

I'm going, i just did not want to stay there :) I will if it creates a discount for all. just let me know as it gets closer.

Just tell him originally we expected more people.

So do you get a blue suede leisure suit with every room booking?

So for serious now.  Who, outside of the Columbus crew (MLS ftw), is going to Vegas?

Im still going to try to make just so i can kick Red in the nuts then leave, it its about an 10 hour drive so i have to see on the work schedual and the money thing, i would only stay one night then expect to be burried in the desert. My Idea is to start to drive thurs get half way say in a cheap whore house then pick up the drive, Drink, pass out then make my way home sateday at some time, so i may recover on sunday and start the work week. again as long as i hit the road and get a few hours sleep before monday at 7 am im flexible. thats about as much of a commitment i can make at this point 

Don't do us any favors Arctic.....really....

Just remeber to dig the hole first so that way you dont spend the whole day just digging holes in the desert

I like Arctic.

Im going to dump arctics body in the grand canyon

Have you not seen his picture? He won't fit.

then I will chainsaw him into grand canyon sized peices

So seriously...it's just the columbus peeps and Arctic's dead carcass?  Really?  You faggots have had 9 months to save up for this shit.  Who wants to pitch in on the "Get Unno's Dumb Ass to Vegas" Fund?  He has to be there since he is the father of this entire deal.  10 people, $40 a head should cover it.  I'm good for at least $40.

I'm still working on being there.

In my defence I was trying to plan my life around moving in with a woman with sever bi-polar dissorder, beard championships, and family vacation the entire time you guys were planning this trip.   

i am really really really really trying to go. the car taking a shit put a dent in my bank account but am now spinning this as a 30th birthday present from wife.

I had a dream i was playing craps and i won alot. This must come to pass. So let it be written.

LOL http://img.moonbuggy.org/female-masturbation-is-a-myth/

(http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/female-masturbation-is-a-myth.jpg)

ftfy

I am in on this

I'll chip in too....but I expect a reacharound in return

so we're up to $120.  Unno, if we can raise $400, will you still go?

i wont be going...
can't get the money to fly back...
but have fun anyway

You guys are awesome, couldn't ask for better friends. I appreciate the kindness but it has  occurred to me that I forgot why I was here and what I was doing. I forgot about my purpose in life and just recently rediscovered it. We live in a world without hope, with one exception and that is Jesus. I'm going to be very busy making sure everyone knows about it.

great now Unno is off his meds.....also does that mean you won't be going to the Chicken Ranch now?

ok if i go i need to stay alive till after we go to the chicken ranch

we?

wishful thinking i guess

I found another reason us NON-FAGGOTS need to go the Double Down Lounge....not only do they have the delicious drink ASS JUICE it's home of the BACON MARTINI...BACON FUCKING MARTINI

I'm in on this.

Unno is getitng bailout money the rest of you faggots can choke on vomit

$160 so far.  Fuck you Unno, you're going.

So since this endeavour is an epic failure do we want to start discussing other possibilities?

1.  Has everyone asked around to see if people want to go?
2.  If we don't get the group rate do we want to stay somewhere else?
3.  Instead of going to Vegas we can drive around and dick punch everyone that canceled out?

I know my buddy John said he'd go if we need a room to get the discount.

Tom you and Lindsay going to room up? If so Caleb and Mike can spoon and then I'll room with my buddy. So we have 5 rooms as of now.

I need everyone who is definately in to book rooms.  This way I can call the guy and have more ammo in convincing him to give us the same rate on less rooms.

I'll go ahead and book a room then today.

did you ask about not having the 10 room minimum?

LAME...my forum account was deleted  :'(.  BRENT...do I still need to book through here?

I will know more today but the jist of this is my boss is being a major fucktard. We have our vendor conference the same dates as this trip and since they ace'd me out of THAT conference they are saying since they will be out of town my trip can't happen.

I will try arguing my case further.

This thread is a poster child for EPIC FAIL.

I'm still game for Vegas, but I'm willing to entertain alternatives at another date.

Did anyone commit funds when reserving the rooms?

There aren't a lot of other dates I can go for other than this set.

Problem is we have plane tickets that may prove difficult to refund.

Jerry you should be fine, you will be rooming with Matt more than likely, unless of course you know someone esle that would like to go.  :)

yeah doesn't look like tickets can be refunded but you can reschedule as a credit for up to a year.

At this point, I am leaning towards planning another trip at a later date.  Perhaps the other douchebag Wolverines that aren't from Columbus will stop being such dickwads and will make an earnest attempt to join us.

I am starting to agree.  We need to get together and discuss this.

If anyone does decide to move it elsewhere you CANNOT do it online you are going to have to call them.

If you try online it says this: Please Note: Changes will apply to all passengers in reservation.

SO DO NOT DO IT OR SO HELP ME GOD I HAVE TROYER HUMP YOUR FACE.

have you guys thought about doing better?  just a thought, you should give it a try if you have time. 

HoundDogs Wednesday?

works for me I need to get tickets for the Bison show

so we not going now Im doing to get burried in the desert, man that blows...  you should chip in and get me to Ohio,

Bla, I'm still going. I will drink all the booze and have all the women then. bunch o flakes :)

When is the Bison show?  Also, I belive Big Buisiness is in town next week or the week after.  They are full of more win then most. 

I didn't think anything was set in stone, just getting together for a situation assessment(sp?)

So Hound Dogs?  When?

My server is still down. Waiting for the vendor to stop being faggots and fix the DB problems so I'm out for tonight. If you wanna go tomorrow I'm down.

Tomorrow it is.  Set a time.

6? Everyone should stay and watch Bison

Werd.

\m/

Oh...and Star Trek at midnight.

Unfortunately tonight Nick works till 8, but whatever you all end up deciding I think I will be fine with.  I would still like to push for the weekend we have planned if possible.

Cool, my plane tickets are booked. I might be heading in a little later on Fri though.

I think we might be scrapping the trip.  Tom, find out what we can do with the tickets today.

If you can, find out if you can just change the date on one ticket or not.  Depending upon whether or not Kag can push his back and if we can make a later time we might just keep that date and go to a different hotel or something.

I'm thinking of going out July 27-30. There is a band I want to see out there, Kelly Clarkson, then and then a hot chick from work will be out there also.

just sayin' red ...

The hot chick knows I am going to be there at the same time and will probably go to the concert I am not naming to prevent trolling from cocksuckers like yourselves....not Kelly Clarkson

      Riiiiiight.

I KNEW IT!!

Troyer...leave the trolling to professionals.

Hawkes can we make an amateurs trolling forum so these guys can build their chops?

Oooh, zing!

I'm hurt, Red.

you have potential....you just need to get playing time in the minors is all

OPERATION RECKONING FAIL

If your not going and have made reservations with the Flamingo you need to call and cancel so you don't get charged. :-(

I am going to vegas 19-22 March.
LOLZ.

Epic Bump!

I am considering a vegas trip in August..

EPIC FAIL!  I have an outer banks trip planned for that month :(
