NY, NJ and PA Rainers: How About a Triple Play Meetup?

A random eventUpdate: The Meetup is set for Tusday, December 6 at 6pm at Toga Bar, Caesar's Atlantic City!

For those of you in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the annual Triple Play convention will be held this December 6-8 in Atlantic City. I have gone to the last two and just registered for this year's event. In light of the success we've had with the recent Active Rain meetups, the fun we had at AC Raincamp, and since catching up with each other at these events is usually a bit tricky, I am wondering if it wouldn't be easier- and far more fun- to have our own event on the evening of the 6th or 7th? 

All we'd need is a room, which they have plenty of in Atlantic City, and maybe some help with food and refreshments. It would be great if we could get a sponsor to help with the arrangements. It doesn't have to be anything fancy; just having a designated place (even a predetermined bar for that matter) one evening where we could all make an appearance, reconnect in some cases or maybe even meet in person for the first time would be an excellent addition to the itinerary. As a matter of fact, it might even make the difference in going to the convention or not for some if they knew that they would press the flesh with fellow active rain participants. 

The convention is huge- thousands attend, and there are events in the evenings that range from black tie galas to informal meetups at a watering hole. Frankly, wine and cheese with strangers isn't my cup of tea. I'd rather hang with my peeps at least once in between all these events. Let's make it so. Game?

Hi J. Philip,

How many are going to attend the confrence?

You need to keep us informed as to how this works out and how it was beneficial for the "Rainers".

Have a great day in New York.

Best, Clint McKie

As fun as this would be, I will likely back off.  Too much time off this year already.  But it's a great idea!

Phil: I am already registered for Triple Play and think this is a super idea. Last year I crashed attended the wrong event. TYe food wasn't bad, but I couldn't figure out why the people were so strange - yes even stranger than Realtors. Let's see how many takers we get. It's still pretty early for people to commit. BTW, I like being considered somebody's peeps.

wish I was closer and I'd come.  But after my cross country vacation... I must be a home body for a long while.

Well Anne, that makes two of us thus far!!

I should reiterate that this is a NY/PA/NJ event so people from far away shouldn't feel bad about not being able to make it-

I always welcome the opportunity to share a beer and war stories with you, but.........

I'm not sure I will attend. I paid for advance tickets last year and did not go. This year, I did not buy a ticket because I did not see the value in continued education classes offered and I am not interested in the motivational speakers.

I think I have turned into an anti-NAR person. Maybe I'll send my PAC money to Steven Colbert.

 

Best Wishes. Have fun.

I'm game and will be there the 6th & 7th for sure, possibly the 8th.  If it's a small group, we could meet at the Shreraton lobby bar above Tun Tavern (across from the convention center).
