What?! I was planning to partake in this tradition!

I'll still bring a few sticks.

Got any recommendations for a newbie looking to get into the past time?

Lighter colored cigars are generally milder in flavor. Start with a "Connecticut" wrapped cigar. These are blonde and the tobacco was lower on the plant and thus grown in the shade.

It was a sad day when I found out. Went to my host and asked WTF?!

“OH, we’re enlarging our high limit gaming room. Besides the cigar lounge wasn’t all that popular.”

might have to move cigars to @MJ DeMarco 's presidential suite?

I've staked out a new location, there's an outdoor terrace overlooking the courtyard that should work just fine.

I’m starting a tradition of sitting quietly near the cigar smokers while having a martini. Make sure to come over and say hey.

Im hoping and praying that he’ll tell us in person instead of on the public forum... I have my eyes set on the cotton candy machine.

1) My house is an hour away.
2) I don't recognize a lot of the attendees (people who don't visit the forum often, no posts, etc.) which to be honest, I'm not terribly comfortable having complete strangers at my home. While many of you aren't, the fact is, some are. The group is not 40 ppl like years past, it's 165.
3) I just moved in, the place lacks furniture (still not entirely unpacked) and isn't really fit for a party in its current condition.
4) Aside from those logistics, having another event within this event is just too much for me to organize. And one at my house is not something I'd delegate.
5) It wasn't in the budget -- I researched an offsite event at another location (or at the casino) and at the end of the day, I was looking at another $10K in expenses. The ticket prices don't support it.
6) With all that in play, I never got to a stage to seriously follow through on it.

I thought of having a small private affair, but that opened a whole other can of worms. Who to invite? Who not? Such would cause dirision and be unfair to those who didn't get an invite. Likely that would imply some sort of special inner circle or special clique-- that's the last thing I want to do.

@MJ DeMarco so as far as I understand "blue coyote cantina" at the resort is an "official" place to hang out during the summit. Can people who arrive early, hang out there 2 evenings before the summit? Like can we have pre-event "official" place to go at the certain time, like 7-10pm or whatever?

Serious Response:
165 does sound like a bit much to have for a house party. Thank you so much for taking the time to think it through and thank you for letting us in on your thought process.

Humorous Response:
I only wanted you for your cotton candy anyways. Humph. I think somebody’s bringing me Red Bull.. that will have to do. ROFL. The Summit is gonna be awesome!

All I'm hearing from this is that you are organizing a party, we're just not invited.

@MJ DeMarco could you please may be update the itinerary to be more clear with times based on last 2 events experience (something like: )
Networking at "blue coyote cantina" at the resort:
if you arrive early, Feb 5,6 from X pm until Y pm
Feb 7,8 from Z pm until T pm
if you leave late, feb 9 from A pm until B pm

It will help greatly to those who need to schedule other things during those dates. Thank you.

I will actually bring the fruit, we have far too much and cannot eat it all.

I can update the itinerary to include an "unofficial networking gathering" for Thursday thru Saturday at 7pm-9pm. But it is unofficial, which means I might not be there depending what curve balls the event throws at me.

I'm one of the lurkers who's been around for years and posts very sporadically. I am a first time attendee even though I only live about an hour away and am excited for all of this to get going! I was planning on just making the drive each way each day but may just bite the bullet and book a room. Hello all in advance ;)
