Ok, it's time to get working on what we want/expect NJC to be like this year...:nana2:

I've booked another hospitality suite in Vegas at Bellagio..

Everyone that was there last year - we're ya'll comfortable with that?

How bout the whole cheesburger/food thing we had going...any different ideas you think we should try? or even ideas using the amenities in the room (top gun movie on 70" plasma? haha)

Now, i'm just looking at the evening event itself, not the tours, not the daytime things, just the event...

Feel free to give me your ideas...

The food was just fine. Nothing too heavy. Burgers were great. Wouldn't change a thing. Although I missed the keg stand.... ;)

You could put in Top Gun or something that would be cool is maybe if you could, put together a cd/dvd with a ton of pictures from past JC events. You could have the slide show running during the night.

Let me know whatever help you may need. In 05 I remember JD taking pictures of everyone. That be cool again to get the mug shots of everyone.
 
Whats the expected date of this? But im in talks with a few so cal members of attending. ill still be able to recieve passes from my airline through November. But I wont be of "legal" age until after November of 2008...
 
But, but, but, I thought keg stands were banned in Vegas?:)

I'd be down for chilling at Caramel again. In fact, I'd prefer chilling there instead of going to the dance club. Do you know how many drinks I could buy for the c-note I gave the doorman to let all the dudes in? Hell, my "wedding band" cost less!

As for a daytime event, there's Mt. Charleston which is a little drive away. There are grills there so we could do some grilling and hiking.
 
tony i am happy to hear you know how to take care of the dorrguy. makes me think there are still good people out there. i get screwed all the time when a guy hands me a wad of singles. people just actin a fool.
 
What's the status of the mock interviews? Rich did you feel it was beneficial for when you had the real deal? I know Tracy has been thinking through some stuff. I guess we would need more then 1 person signed up, but I would be willing to sit on a panel again if the other guys are up for it again.

If there isn't interest in that what time do we get access to the suite? I'm thinking some sort of moderated round table conversation about some subject related to flying (how I got there, dealing with weather/MX, funny stories etc) might be interesting.

Outside of the formal event, I really don't have anything to add. I had a stupid cold last time and crashed every night before the party really got started.

That sounds like a great idea. I for one would be interested in listening in. Not sure how much I could provide, but it would help the learning process along for sure.....

Is that your story, or do you need time to work on a better one?? :rolleyes:
I thought I saw you chasing skirt when I left the event to meet SeanD!

Kristie - what would be the cost upgrade for a suite that overlooks the fountains for the shows?
That and maybe a few more chairs might of been nice.
 
we can't get a "guaranteed" room location... but i'll call and ask anyways

Chairs...ok, i put chairs on the list

How do we want to hold the mock interviews this year? I'm thinking a panel of 3-5 people would be best so that each gets to ask questions as the interview goes along...aren't interviews normally a panel of folks anyways?
 
If you'd like help with the interview stuff this year, let me know. I think the idea of a round-table discussion is great. Maybe something tailored towards career longevity and preparing yourself for the challenges that lay ahead?

Maybe we could do two or three different hour-long "seminars" of sorts. Similar to the seminars held at major career conferences like Women In Aviation and OBAP?

I was just thinking about that this morning. Maybe make them mini seminars though... 2 or 3 30 minute talks? I would love to hear your CRM lecture. It sounded fascinating from what you were saying. Depending on what time we get the suite and what the interest is, maybe set up mock interviews (2 on 1, 20 minute HR, 20 minute Tech) and then when they are over run right into the seminars as there would already be an audience there from the interviews.
 
ANd, yes, Kristie, your process of acquisition ... the microwave for the cheeseburges was definitely high class. ;)
 
If you need office/business equipment (like a projector or what not), i can get that stuff....

We can check in at 3pm (maybe earlier) and you know we'll have that humungous executive table again...

I just need to know how many extra chairs we need (depending on add'l cost that bellagio would want to charge us)
 
Im pretty excited about this now..I think I might be able to swing it, but I will see how my schedule is going to pan out since I got a job...What is the cutoff date to sign up?

I am lecturing at a conference in Seattle immediately preceeding this. I will have my laptop, laser pointer, remote Power Point advancer, and some other stuff. I also have an LCD projector. Kristi, let me know if you think any of this stuff would help. BTW: it can be $200.00 to $400.00 per day to rent an LCD projector.
