Adobe laptop crop, San Francisco/Las Vegas... questions inside!

[Margie]

We're planning out the remainder of 2011 for Scrap the Map (http://www.ScraptheMap.com) and we're considering having a crop in Las Vegas following Photoshop World (http://photoshopworld.com/) instead of at Adobe's headquarters (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46784). Each year, members have to choose between the two, so we're considering consolidating this time. Nothing's certain, so this is just your chance for input!
Please read the links for info and save those questions for other threads, but share which you would prefer AND attend. If you can't come to either, let's save your vote for someone who will please. :)
Answers before you ask:
What do you mean by crop? Scrap the Map (http://www.scrapthemap.com/)
What is Photoshop World? How much does it cost? There's a FREE part?! Photoshop World (http://photoshopworld.com/)
What do you do at Adobe? Adobe's headquarters (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46784)

For those of you considering Vegas, how does this sound? A cozy media suite for 25 people to scrap all night Friday SEPT 9? You could stay as late as you'd like Friday, or stay all night long! Yes, a scrapping slumber party! Cozy, less expensive, but fewer people.

Or would you prefer more people scrapping in Vegas, so the Saturday SEPT 10 following Photoshop World? Big, fun, but more expensive, and an extra hotel night expense.

Or would you prefer to go to Adobe's headquarters and scrap there at another time? Always fun, but more expensive (San Francisco hotels), plus a separate trip for those attending Photoshop World.

We'd love your input! The poll doesn't necessarily determine what we'll do, but we're working on the details from all angles. I'm sure wherever we end up, we'll have lots of fun!

[Margie]

Let us know what you think! And do feel free to ask questions here, just be sure to read the links first. And I promise there will be chocolate wherever we go. :D

[chanmansmom]

I voted! :0)

[bendipez]

I voted....

[CarolAnn]

I voted!!!!!

[kim]

[crlin60]

[bendipez]

Y'know we could do both!!!!
Slumber party then crop!!! Sorta like a 24 hour DSP Marathon!!!

[Tara]

Can we do all three? That would be my vote :)

[Christine]

Uggggh I would vote slumber party, but that close to the beginning of school and on DD1's birthday besides, hmmmm prob not happening :(

[TracyMHunt]

I voted! This is sounding like a lot of fun!

[carti]

I voted too!

[bendipez]

Drat!!! Slumber party is getting outvoted!!!

[chanmansmom]

Im hoping for the Slumber Party,Id love to scrap in a cozy place and be able to stay as long as we want and wear jammies.Scrapping after PSW sounds late and not enough time to scrap.Im not planning on PSW anyway.Hoping for the Slumber Party too.Years ago when I did traditional scrapping with paper......a bunch of us had an over night scrapping slumber party.It was a blast!!

[Margie]

As luck would have it, we can't get a conference room on Sat! We could move to a different hotel though, but wouldn't be able to stay at the same place as PSW. Still working...

[bendipez]

A different hotel is fine!!
Besides after a scrapping all night with my DSPeeps would need to walk a bit....lololol..!!

[bendipez]

The Venetian was pretty nice .....

[bendipez]

And was just escorted back here.....'cept have nothing to say( for r moment)...

[Margie]

Yeah, it's one or the other unless you want to pay $1000 each. :eek:

[bendipez]

Oh all right!!
Can I change my vote to conference room...lololol..!!
we can organize a slumber party on our own, right???

[carti]

We stayed at the MGM Grand last year, and it is an amazing hotel.

[chanmansmom]

What hotel was Magie looking at for the crop? I missed that.

[chanmansmom]

I bet Stitch could make us some cute jammies and Embroider our names on them:lol:

[>>aruaL<<]

We stayed at the MGM Grand last year, and it is an amazing hotel.

I just went to the MGM Grand in February for the George Strait concert...I was in awe of how huge the MGM is! I have been to Vegas a bazillion times, and somehow I just never realized how huge MGM Grand was til this year, lol.

It's huge isnt it.And very nice.We ate at Emerl's restaurant in the MGM, wonderful food.
I saw that concert hall in the MGM,its amazing.What an awesome concert to see.I love George Strait.Bet it was awesome! That hotel is so big and has so much to offer inside,you really never have to leave.

The concert was amaaaazinggggg... it was him and Reba. It was incredibly long too!
And the 'Garden Arena' where the concerts are held there is pretty amazing, because no matter where you get seats at, none of them are actually awful. It's a large arena but not too large, and it's a nice set up.

As for the hotel, it's gigantic and I got lost manyyyyyy times!
:rofl:

[Margie]

Hm, only 15 people have voted for Vegas, and 9 said large conf room, but the media room can hold 25... My math says media room wins. But then math can say anything...

:yippee: Does that Mean Media Room Slumber Party?:yippee:

[Memouse]

Well I have never been to Vegas, but this seems like a good reason to go IF I could come up with the money somehow, which isn't likely, so I will refrain from voting. Thou I would LOVE to be there and Crop the night away.

On a side note... When I did more traditional scrapping we would rent a hotel conference room out and about 50 to 100 ladies would get rooms and spend the whole weekend scrapping. You could get up as early as you wanted or stay up as late as you wanted. Meals and snacks were included in the price you paid for the weekend and you could use any of the hotel amenities that you wanted, pool, gym, bar, whatever. Some ladies got a few pages done cuz they did more talking and socializing and others got as many as 75 pages done because they came in focused and sorted and ready to crop and knew what they wanted done. I was usually somewhere in between, about 40 pages. But what a Blast it was to gather and crop and have fun. I'm just saying...

When I did paper scrapping, the ladies in my monthly crop group were so chatty, we would be LUCKY if we left with TWO pages done, after an entire full day of "scrapping"!! LOL!!! :rofl:

I did traditional scrapping for about 6 years,we too did all week-end crops.We would stay up all night and scrap and eat and chat.Some might nap an hour in the middle of the night and get back up.We wore jammies and lounging pants and it was such a fun and relaxing atmosphere.We loved that we didnt have to look at the clock and worry about the time.Such a blast!! I hope you can join us in Vegas,if it happens:pray:

When I lived in North Carolina,one of my best friends owned her own Scrapbooking store.On Friday nights,she held crops at the store.We would scrap until 3am and somtimes I would only get a page or 2 done.But it was so much fun.Some gals could scrap like crazy and get numerous pages done.Was alot of fun.

[bendipez]

Hmmm, still a bit fuzzy on the whole get a layout done at a crop concept!!

At New River Air Station...that's where we were right before we moved to San Diego.

Asheville is sooooo pretty. I'd move there and live there forever if I could!

[chanmansmom]

We moved to San Diego from Asheville,we absolutely love Asheville too,but moved out here to be near the Grandparents.My husbands folks live here.We love the Smokie's and the Blue Ridge Parkway and the whole surrounding area! Its so gorgoeus back there.Iam not opposed to moving back there one day.I love the slower pace and the beautiful mountains.

[Margie]

Well, it looks like we're getting the media suite! (This is more than a hotel room ladies!) :D
And Adobe assured us we can crop there in CA in 2012!!

[CarolAnn]

[crlin60]

[CarolAnn]

:yippee::yippee::yippee::yippee::yippee::yippee::y ippee::yippee:

[bendipez]

So, has anyone made their hotel/flight reservations yet??
And who is doing PSW???

[chanmansmom]

Waiting for the exact details,then will make my res. and arrangements.I can't wait.Iam already looking for some Scrapbooking Lounge pants or jammies.Has anyone seen any yet? I know that they have to be out there.Maybe Ill buy a pair of scrubs and decorate them with scrapbooking embellishments...hmmmm.
Details....
Not sure that Iam doing to PSW, I cant come until Friday.I think PSW is during the week.And I think our Slumber Party is Friday? or is it Saturday?
Guess where we can go before scrapping.....we can hit the 4 story M&M store....did someone say Chocolate?

[bendipez]

Speaking of M&M store.....
Monday after the sept 07 DSP Vegas crop Shawn and I went exploring. I drug him through Coca-cola World and the M&M World. After were done and outside Shawn basically crossed his arms, stomped his foot and said "Luxor Now" !! Was kinda funny to see a grown man(6'3" and 215lbs. At the time) pout!!!

[TracyMHunt]

The media suite looks really cool, Margie!

Brenda, I havent made my reservations yet. I'm waiting for more details, too. Also my daughter will be coming home from Seoul in mid Sept. So I'm waiting to see her exact arrival date.

I will not be attending any of the PSW classes but maybe the free expo.

Debbie if you find any scrapping pjs be sure to let us know.

I would love to do some sight seeing while there. I think it would be cool to try and get some night shots of the Vegas lights. LOL, of course, someone knowledgeable about night shooting would need to be there to show me how!!!!

[Lynnie]

ok so the crop is tentatively at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, on the Saturday SEPT 10following Photoshop World.

Mandalay Bay: http://mandalaybay.com/default.aspx. Right now the room rates for that date are around $200 a night. Will you be getting a discounted block of rooms, Margie?

Photoshop world is here; http://photoshopworld.com/ and is about $600 for a full conference pass if you book early enough. You can book individual days....

I'm all about a slumber party :) we can have one here, debbie and I have scrapping jammies!

[Tara]

Totally want to be there...will totally cry if I can't be...but totally can't sign up yet. BAH!!!!!

Here is what Margie has posted so far. Not yet included is the cost for the actual crop, but I think you can assume it will be reasonable. .........as for your nails....they just need to match your jammies!:tup:

[jennilynn10]

Margie - I know it says that we should "Please make your own hotel reservations as needed." I was just wondering, as Lynnie asked, if it would be possible to reserve a block of rooms so that we will be near each other? Or if there is a way to book rooms close to the media room??? Thanks!

PQ,
The pair in above post that you asked about are here....
http://www.twochicksdesigns.com

Aren't they cute!

[Margie]

Sorry, we won't be able to reserve a block of rooms for this one. IF you can show up at the same time, I'm sure they'll try to accommodate you though.

[carti]

<< I think it would be rather difficult to see who is going to show up at the same time. Question? in order to get the cheaper price for room one has to be registered for the PhotoShop covention at what price range?I may do the free but not the other workshops.>>

I don't know that you have to be registered at all. I just started at the Photoshop World site and clicked on their room rates and was able to make reservations from that point. They never asked if I was registered for PSW.

[chanmansmom]

I don't know that you have to be registered at all. I just started at the Photoshop World site and clicked on their room rates and was able to make reservations from that point. They never asked if I was registered for PSW.

HI Carolann,
Were the rates 129.00?
So do you recommend going through the PSW to make reservations at the hotel? I don't plan on doing PSW.

[CarolAnn]

Yes. That is what I did. I am not yet registered for PSW because I am not sure how much of it I will be able to attend. So, I don't think they require you to be registered for PSW first....and the rate was 129.

[bendipez]

And just found out there is a Max Brenner's chocolate resturaunt at Ceasar's!!!

[jennilynn10]

Thanks for the tip Carol! I just want to try and find out where our DSP Media Suite is located before I make my hotel reservation. There are actually 2 separate hotel towers at the Mandalay Bay (& I believe the 2nd one is used primarily for coventions.) It's really quite a large hotel and there will be lots of walking if one goes to the Expo (even the free part), to the restaurants, if we go out for a photo walk, etc.

It would be really awesome if we could get the room number for that media suite! If it's reserved already, won't the hotel give use the room number? or at least tell us the area of the hotel or which tower? Carol or Margie - if you could get us that info., I'd be very appreciative! (I might even bring more chocolate! ;) )

And we need to remember our tiaras!!!!

[bendipez]

Yes. That is what I did. I am not yet registered for PSW because I am not sure how much of it I will be able to attend. So, I don't think they require you to be registered for PSW first....and the rate was 129.

Did you have to prepay???

And look like the media suites are on floor 20 and above...
And so far have found 3 Starbucks!!!

<<Thanks for the info Carol and I have also read the other comments made. I think it would be a good idea to be as close as possible to the Media Room if possible. I really don't want to be on a floor too far away from the Media Room and also don't like being too far away from others. This would influence whether I would attend or not.>>
