TGIF's Mixer June 23rd- meet old/new friends


I'm going to speak up here and hopefully others will too.
The reason I'm saying something is because I heard about hardly half of the people responding to this offer.

Those of you who are new to HTF meets(EMA or Hollywood)
might not know how much fun and important these events are.

Mixers are a great place to meet old and new friends.
Get a chance to meet people you've been talking with on HTF.

A great chance to meet everybody all at once.

Just take a look and read about the past gatherings.
Look at past photos and see how much fun everyone is having.

Ron and HTF and FWC that's helping pay for this event
went to a lot of trouble making sure we have something nice like this.
And not to give self credit, but I made sure we had a private section at TGIF's with a discounted price in case we had to pay for this ourselves.
I even made sure we get discounted alcohol.

While free food courtesy of HTF is not the reason to go.
It's meeting great people for the first time or meeting old friends you haven't seen in years.
And by the time you say "goodbye", you wish you had more time to spend with them.

Our mixers that we have at Hard Rock for Hollywood events are always so much fun and exciting.

I understand people are busy with work, family and whatever else.
I'm just disappointed in the response of the mixer.

It would be really nice to have all of 45 or so people that will be attending EMA at the mixer

I just think it's important to meet everyone BEFORE the events.
so you're NOT doing it during the discussions and celebrity appearances and such.

I've RSVP'd already for the mixer, and look forward to meeting everyone.

For those that don't want to walk or take a taxi, the Gold Coast, which is where I'm staying and is across the street from the RIO, does have a shuttle to the Orleans.

From the Gold Coast's website:

"The Gold Coast offers a free shuttle service to it's sister property The Orleans Hotel & Casino as well as the Las Vegas Strip. The shuttle operates 7-days a week from 9:30AM to midnight and picks up guests approximately every 20 - 30 minutes from the hotel's Flamingo Road entrance. Coast Casinos hotel guests will receive priority seating on all shuttles."

Just to let everyone know.
These are small shuttle buses.
holds about 25 people.
Also depending on the driver, you MIGHT have to show your room card key.
But it hardly ever happens.
if you're going to take this shuttle, I advise to get in line about 20mins prior.

I would love to go but my flight won't get in early enough to make it to the dinner. I appreciate everything you, Ron and FWC have done for this event, it's just I won't arrive in time.

Same goes for me. My flight does not get in until 8:30 PM. Otherwise, I would love to attend.

Guys, EMA last year just felt so.... incomplete! without an event just for us. If there is any way you can swing this, please sign up and please get there, half the fun in these trips is geeking out with people who get HT and movies as much as you do, it's events like this that make them so much more personal!

Buncha savages in this town.....

I ran outta gas! I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from outta town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts!! It wasn't my fault I swear to God!!!

I'll be there, looking forward to meeting new people, and see some of the fun folks from last year. I live here in Vegas now, so i'll probably meet everyone at the restaurant.
