Why do you guys not go to the Rx Bash?

I am curious what the reasons are, I've talked to a handful of guys who say they are also fearful of flying.

Every year right about now, I realize the plane I would have been on arrived safely and I would be there safe and sound.

Some of us have kids and have to work too! (P.S. And I am a single Dad.)


Why not take a bus or train or drive JMan?

I'm not going to get into a long , 'why didn't you go again' Capn.

I did buy a plane ticket, just couldn't do it when the time came...this was the only year I said I would go , even though I knew it would be real difficult to board a plane.

A train or bus would take 2-3 days from wheere I am...it's a plane or nothing from here.

I totally can sympathize about the single parent thing, which is also a big reason.

Jman, with you not going I don't feel nearly as bad for not getting to go to this bash. I have just recently fully recovered from the August bash.

I am going to lobby for a bash in Florida and I will get you here personally for that.

Do it.

Tampa HR will be nearly full vegas style games soon. Already with NL poker added at least, but blackjack coming and more later.

I'm only an hour away. Would be fun there.

WVU could fund the entire Fla Bash and not bat an eye.

Make it during the winter , where it would be great to visit Florida.

Didn't feel "RX" enough the last 3 years, this year I said fuck it who cares.

The time of the year is bad for me. If the Bash was
in Jan or Feb I would be there every year. I live in
the northern climate and am always looking for a
winter break.

Florida Bash - Lets do it.

Could be like an RX spring training type of thing that gets done in March.

for my wife and myself,in our younger days we would go about 15 times a year. just hop in the car and go on a friday night. we could all-ways find a room. she would take about 1,000 and me 1,500 and we would always have a blast. and then one friday night before we even got to vegas we stoped at the state line and lost most of "all" are money !! and then drove back home on the same night !! so now these days we only go two times a year. and it's when they are having a mega fight like coming up in dec 8th mayweather jr vs. hatton. sure wished that we could of gone to the "bash" but for us we have to save are money for our trip in december !! we never go to las vegas unless i have at least 7 k and her 5 k. so for my wife and i it's more of a $$$$ thing.:103631605

I really wanted to go this year to the Bash. But the timing was not right.

Aug. would have been better for me, as this one in Sept. ( the week of NFL starting ) wasn't good, because I need to be in CR.

But I will have the Bash Marked for Next year. I Will be there !

I have been in Grad school at night and working during the day for the last 2.5 years. This year I could have gone but my bach Party is in Vegas next week starting on Thursday. I could not go 2 weeks in a row...

I did attend the VA/MD bash and met a bunch of the guys... Was a fun time...
