I'd love to, but it's two weeks after my honeymoon. Kinda using my vaca time for that.

.....unless YOU wanna ask her if we can postpone our trip. Go ahead, I'll wait for your answer.

3000 miles away over a lot of mountains.  And the money thing too.

To be fair, though, it's not as though you'd be taking llamas.

Finances won't permit it. (Chances are, neither would my work schedule.) I wish ...

I really want to, particularly since I haven't seen most of you since 2006 (my honeymoon, remember?) and the fact that it's just a Saturday-Sunday event [yes, I do realize this is all tentative] would be a help breaking away from work, but we're finally bouncing back after a soft year on the income front {thankfully, I shoved ultra-sums into the savings account during my years as a university employee} that as much as Bev and I would love to be with you again, I can't justify breaking into the piggy bank for this. If the $207M Mega ticket I hold in my hand pays off, however, we're there. I hope it happens and I hope a lot of you get to go and take bunches of pictures.
If Anitra Ford is attending, forget what I said above. I'll just sell my car for airfare and lodging.

Remember, if it is a winner, 1% goes to The Ohio University Game Show Appreciation Society.  $2.07M is a heck of a write-off.

Would like to, but I pretty much spent all my leave on NYC...

Perhaps we could plan a Game Show Forum convention outisde of this, some sort of annual affair a la the old GSCs.  Varying said event geographically would be nice too.  Any interest?

I'd be down for that. I always wondered whatever happened to those.
You're in a room. You're wearing a silly hat.
There are letters on the floor. They spell "NOPE".

L.A. suits me to a tee as well as many in the game show fan community who live here.
