Wow, it's been a while since I've met strangers from the internet :lol:

I was trying to remember the official forum meets from the past. I know I organized the photo shoot from the top floors of FNB, I think it was projectman who got us to the top floor of the new UP building, we met to listen to Hal Daub at Spaghetti Works, we met for a few condo tours... There are many on here who are connected through Facebook... So there are not as many internet strangers on here.

I would be. You guys seem to have the inside track on things going on here.

Liked the Burlington Station tour we took back in 2005.

As far as 2014.
Will Borgota be open by then?

Borgata's is a few weeks away from opening - provided they get that liquor license.

I'll be in Utah for chunks of January (not sure on exact dates yet), but if I'm in town I'd be interested.

guy4omaha · Post by **guy4omaha** » Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:15 am

I would be game again. I haven't been to one since the one at UP And I think we did a Creighton game once.

schumatt · Post by **schumatt** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 4:11 am

I would be interested. I've mostly been a lurker on the forum for a while, but it would be great to meet up!

MadMartin8 · Post by **MadMartin8** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 4:13 am

I'd be down with that, as long as you promise I won't wake up in a bathtub full of ice with missing kidneys.

Post by **Admin** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 4:21 am

OK, we have a few interested people so far. Coyote said he would organize this so RSVP to Coyote by PM. He is talking with the people at Borgata, and people have suggested a few DTO tours before hand. If we can get around 20 RSVPs by a few weeks this will be a go.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 4:25 am

Cool. Just RSVP me.
I remember another unofficial eOmahaForums gathering where we stressed tested the Pedestrian Bridge. I can't remember who all was there. I'm sure we posted pics of that.

I just found out my employers holiday party is the same day... I trust the bulk of activities will be during the day? I'll probably have to bow out before 7pm or so.

(and by the way guy, my youngest son got a much more mortal 31 ;) as for my oldest, he's working on his ChemE PhD at Ann Arbor now)
