National Specktra meet?

[Janice]

I wanted to get your input on if you would attend a national meet up if one were to be scheduled.

I selected Las Vegas as the city for the meet because generally airfare is quite a bit less expensive to fly into Vegas and hotel rates right now are very good if you can book in advance. Plus, who doesn't want to do at least one girls night out in Vegas once in their life?! I know that money is tight for many, that's why I would like to plan this for late summer/early fall or early spring next year. This is sort of the beginning phase of planning.

I'd like for the meet to last over the course of 2-3 days, giving people plenty of time to spend with the friends they have made on the site. People can use the trip for whatever they would like - meet your online friends, bring your cosmetics goodies that need new homes and have a "room sale" (hey it would help offset the cost of the trip!), eat great food, enjoy awesome nightlife. Most of all just celebrating the spirit and friendship of the community.

Please take the poll above to help me understand if this is something Specktra members would be interested in.

If you would like to help plan the meet shoot me a PM and let me know.

Sites you can use to estimate airfare:

Cheap Flights, Hotels, and Rental Cars -- Discount Airfare | Priceline.com
Southwest Airlines

OMG! I think this would be so fun! I hope it happens & that I am able to attend when it does!

come to the east coast!!! lol

[Hilly]

Ohh Labor day 09!!!

[M.A.C. head.]

When I read this thread title, Star Wars Convention popped into my head.

Except, more feminine and fly.

I need a vaykay and I would love to go to Vegas to pick up on some Specktra honeys LMAO

I would think that the June 2010 date would be the best choice. It gives people who are interested plenty of time to make plans, request time off, look at what else is going on, save up the funds.

^ LOL AHAHAHHA This cracked me up LOOOL

Anyways I would love to do that! But is it girls only? So we can't bring our man? Thing is, Im scared to even fly out alone :S My momma or sister arent make-up addicts. Neither is my boyfriend! But he'll love the casinos. Lol.

I would love to go anytime lmao..Just need a month's notice.

I haven't really gotten close with any of you girls, BUT..I would love to receive in-person advice and make-up tips!

[Janice]

Significant others are more than welcome! I'm sure they will all be happy to know that you'll be hanging out with other gorgeous women (and hopefully some specktra men too!)

Seriously! That would rock!!

[gigglegirl]

If I were to even contemplate going, itd have to be at least April/May 2010. I have many year end duties til March every year; plus 2010 helps for saving $$!

[Janice]

I understand everyone would like for a meet to happen close to them. I travel a bit every year and try to have a meet in the cities I visit. This thread is to gauge interest in a Vegas national meet.

[SassyMochaJess]

I think this is a great idea! And it allows us to take a trip to Vegas if we haven't been there (like me) and meet and hangout with our fellow specktra friends! But i agree it should take place in like june-august 2010.

[Janice]

It's still early on in this poll, but it's looking to me like we could make this a yearly event in August. Have one in 2009 and then plan another for August 2010.

[Cocopuff]

I am down! But Vegas gets super HOT! I picked April 2010 because it is not so hot and that does give us ladies time to save some money and really do it BIG

[NeonKitten]

hmm i'd love for it to be in september of 09 cause i turn 21 this year and it would be the best birthday present ever!

[pdtb050606]

I def want to do it sometime in '09!!! I can't wait until 2010, come on

[Shimmer]

August would work for me I think.

[jaclynashley]

Aw wheres the young Specktra love?!
I live in Vegas and I wanna come too but I can't if your all in casinos.
Anyone have hookups in the fake I.D. business?!?!

[Prinsesa]

I'm turning 21 in 2010 :P So I vote 2010. But I would suggest everyone to go this year as well. Basically, I think the 2009 Month and the 2010 month with the most number of confirms should be picked. I love planning these events lol But I live in Canada, I bet y'all who live in the US would have better deals.

[MissResha]

i get into too much trouble in vegas.

but then again, aren't you supposed to?? hmmm...

but dont judge me if i get too drunk and start yapping about MAC pigments and breasts. for no reason.

[VDUB*BELLA]

oooooooooooh this would be amazing.
I would definatley recommend September in Vegas since the rates are a lot cheaper than summer months, still great weather and the major casinos still keep their pools opened into end of September


Wooooooooooo
Thunder from down Under

[MACandie2012]

[Janice]

I found my drinking buddy!!!!

So when are we going, come on everyone.


Vegas does get pretty hot but it is a dry heat. Only worry is melting make up

If you go Labor Day it is fun but it is a pain to get in without hookups which I have, but even getting in restaurants is ridiculous! Waiting for cabs unless you are waving and giving out hundreds for a limo is also a pain. No one wants to spend their time standing in lines, especially in high heels.

Vegas can be fun at anytime if you are with a crew

I am really looking forward to this.
