Are you being serious?

REE-DICK-YOU-LOUS!

[Brightness]

I told someone that this would probably happen this year.

I didn't understand it last year and I don't understand it now.

Whatever floats your boat.

[Admin]

what is the bitches part at the end for?

Never seen Chappelle Show?
Hola

[que90nek]

just when we were making head way in us becoming a cohesive dysfunctional unit......

lots of old new folks have started contributing...

the shut down is a bad idea.



*i've said my piece.*

Hola


yeah..but it gets too ignorant for me to really pay close attention.

i will pull out my dvds this evening and see if i can "get it"

[Brightness]

Since when didn't bad ideas reign supreme?

[que90nek]

the problem is that...

an US against them is naturally created from those that GO ...and those that don't GO.

so those that don't GO...need a further opportunity to bond while those that GO do the same.

are you kidding?

Has it actually happened that there's jealousy between those that CHOOSE not to attend vs. those that do?

That is.....well crazy.

[que90nek]

i didnt say....jealousy....

but a natural.....

us against them.

why? because normally when we get back....it's about a week or two of INSIDE jokes....and posts of stories in the hushnic forum...........

well us against them insinuates there's jealously from at least one side.

[que90nek]

no, actually it doesnt.

in the past.....

there was an "I WISH I COULDA BEEN THERE"....but it wasnt jealousy per se.

more recently there was an "I'M GLAD YA'LL HAD FUN...NOW LET'S GET BACK TO HUSHIN" type vibe.....


but if u have TEAM A....and TEAM B.....just because you are on two different teams...doesnt imply jealousy...at all.

You really think so?

I've never felt that I've gotten any more into the "inner circle" by attending a Hushnic. Not that it was my intent either.

I have always been the first to say that attending Hushnic isn't that big of a deal and that you really don't miss much. . .honestly, it's not that fun-filled or action-packed that you need to feel bad about not attending.

Personally, I think the going down for maintenance is basically meant to be a punishment type of thing and if folks let it affect them that way then it's on them.

The Hush is already only so big which is evidenced by the active posters and to penalize people like that makes no sense to me but this is ONE MAN'S website and he can do whatever makes him happy.

[MndBdySoul]

So when there's a regional... is the hush shut down ?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Admin's frustration over the number of attendees further confirms that assumption.

[Brightness]

So when there's a regional... is the hush shut down ?

To my knowledge, last year was the first imposed shutdown and it appears that's going to be the rule henceforth. . .I just wanna know do the non-attendees have to dress in sackcloth and smear ashes over their face.

[que90nek]

actually 13 at hushnic is a GREAT number.....

i'll light a candle for ya'll while at hushnic.

[MR REMI RED]

Admin's frustration over the number of attendees further confirms that assumption.


not true @ all
and you making an ass of yourself for ASS MUS ING

[MR REMI RED]

fuck the DUMB shit my nigga SHUT THIS FUCKA DOWN !!!!!

if these FUCKIN FEINDS wants SOME HUSH DURNING that time frame.. tell them, to go west and stop when they see water!
:fu

[Brightness]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Admin's frustration over the number of attendees further confirms that assumption.

I think it's deeper than just being frustration. I think it has something to do with if you're not there then by posting about it or not posting about it. . .you are casting some kind of pallor on the festivities.

Like I said, I don't know. . .just speculating here. I've been to 3 Hushnics and a few mini's here & there and I can tell you, in my opinion, it ain't that serious. Folks that are gonna go are gonna go, folks that aren't or don't wanna go, won't. Period.

We were down in Orlando and folks got online from the Hushnic and posted and it wasn't really a big brouhaha, people seemed to be happy we were having fun, wanted t-shirts, seashells, etc.

It wasn't about anyone hatin' on anyone or feeling left out, etc. so I'm not sure when after 5 yrs of the same festivities and with the same base of core members that it became about being an exclusivity that required the shutting down of the Hush.

[MndBdySoul]

I just wanna know do the non-attendees have to dress in sackcloth and smear ashes over their face.

:D: :cry: :D: :cry:

I got a fare alert this week for Oakland.. 248... I actually considered grabbing it. But this kind of behavior coming from Admin.. punishing those that choose not to be in attendance by shutting it down, just doesn't sit well with me. Shit, why bother :rolleyes:

[Brightness]

fuck the DUMB shit my nigga SHUT THIS FUCKA DOWN !!!!!

So, I take it you understand the pertinence of shutting down?

Could you help me please? I'm still a little dim when it comes to the logic. Why start now when it wasn't a problem in years past?

i see a shut down as a time to BOND .. people shit on this hush POP SHIT ,,, start drama all that shit but never get FACE II FACE and do it ...

and like you said while hushnic goes on..people shit on the hush and wanna know DETAILs and shit ...

FUCK OUTTA HERE wit dat BULLSHIT ..
if you wanna know ..
BRANG YA RASS TO HUSHNIC..

the theme hushnic is for people who sitt on here day in and day out to CELEBRATE knowing and hating each other enuff to BREAK BREAD with one another..

shit dont get it twisted ... shit last year in ATL i was AGAINST hula CALLING and gettin phone calls from ROCK and ZURI ...

dont get it fucked up .. ROCK is my nigga but he aint been to a HUSHNIC
and the other one is another thing but the same...

now when we was at BABYGURLs house and about the cut the HUSHNIC CAKE .. i was one of the 1st niggas to extend my phone to soft to call QUE .. cause no matter what i say about dat nigga ..
HE COMES to HUSHNICs ...
:rolleyes:

[que90nek]

and i appreciated that....^dapz

yes....the hushnics are important.

but without the HUSH up and running...u have no hushnic.

without folks creating some type of.......bond...or...connection HERE..........

you won't have folk willing to spend the $500 to get there.

[MR REMI RED]

but without the HUSH up and running...u have no hushnic.

3 days of NO HUSH wont kill anyone ...
shit SOME OF YA'LL NEED a HUSH HIATUS !!!!

see what some folk try to make it seem (remi) is that some dont want to be there. or that some wont try and make the effort.

i would love to be there. damn it i would..and yeah..imma be jealous as hell..i will be the 1st to admit that..lol. but i cannot afford to be there.

i work two jobs..and still cant afford to be their..please dont make me feel like crap cause i cannot go. please dont punish me cause i cannot afford to go.

[Brightness]

Hmmm, I can respect that viewpoint about the bonding, etc. I probably need to go re-read last year's thread because I wasn't aware of any phone calling for up-to-the-minute details.

But the fact remains that there will always for one reason or another be folks that are left behind. . .my ass is more than likely gonna be left behind. And if so, I will be expecting my phone call as well as a Fed-Exed piece of cake (middle piece, light icing). . . :p

But I would still like the option to take the slow time to forage around in the archives and read some old shit if I wanna.

[HulaSista]

i work two jobs..and still cant afford to be their..please dont make me feel like crap cause i cannot go. please dont punish me cause i cannot afford to go.


but it was just a joke thread

And, I can't promise that I wouldn't be the one to start a 'I WONDER WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW @ HUSHNIC' thread because yes, I am that corny & goofy to be wondering what the hell folks are up to. Especially moreso since I'm not there to be nosey in person.

MBS, I got that alert too from American Airlines for the same price, but the one I have says you have to fly starting August 19th. That won't do me any good. And, when I put in the dates I wanted and chose the flights I wanted........Woo wee, the price came up at 1148.00, I believe.

Well, I will be anxiously awaiting to hear all about the fun everyone had over that weekend. Jealousy.....I think not. I can't be jealous of those that went and I didn't just because I didn't plan correctly and knew about this trip a year ago.

but i could definitely see going THERE.....for sho!

[Brightness]

NOLA never got over 100*. It's just the humidity there, I'm used to humidity but not death temperatures.

Texas in summer = death.

I will just hang on til the week after next and once again try to make it a DC-area Hushnic. There are always cheap flights there since 9-11.

[Admin]

LOL, If I'm willing to fly from Cali to florida, I'm sure down for a shorter fight. I have not opened the forum for HN7 yet, but the majority will ruel, so Orlando is up for debate.

Ummmm, but keep in mind that we had 22 Hushfam when it was there last...I think most folks were able to drive to Hushnic?

Holla

[seductive_tee]

I also think it was because of the cost for the house too.

and the DC folks, we had a special, buy 1 ticket get the 2nd free.

[zuriyahe]

I'll have to read what other folks are saying (not that it will change my response)

But I am naturally AGAINST this kind of move.

I see this move as a NEGATIVE move.

To me, the hush could have been used to attract folks to future Hushnics.

I just know that there are more than one way to do things. And the King of the Hush has the right to do whatever he wants.


So....

[zuriyahe]

And I think that the next Hushnic should be in Vegas.

[zuriyahe]

You really think so?

[HulaSista]

i'll be part of voting for HN7 but i don't know if i'll be there. i have 2 vacations planned already :(

[zuriyahe]

how would you know, you never been to a hushnic?

What I mean is that the idea of shutting down the hush appears to be a form of punishment to the non-attendies.

But from my latest read, Admin was just joking...so...uh...neva-mind. :D

Side note:

I don't have any doubt that Hushnic is a lotta fun. I had a blast at that regional that we had years ago. Hushnic would be a even bigger version of that. So I am cool with the whole hushnic thing.

[Brightness]

I also think it was because of the cost for the house too.

and the DC folks, we had a special, buy 1 ticket get the 2nd free.

Valid points. . .the 2-FOR tickets and $50 lodging fee for 3 nights were the deciding factors.

That year there was 6-8 people from DC alone that's unprecedented and probably not duplicated since.

On Las Vegas

[zuriyahe]

thumbs down On Las Vegas

And what is thy reason? Las Vegas It's too much fun for yo azzzzzzzzz?


If you take Las Vegas slow...you'll be ok.

[Brightness]

Las Vegas is not conducive to Hushnic, in my opinion.

You need to spend money to really enjoy the best that Las Vegas has to offer such as shopping, gambling, shows, museums, etc.

I realize it was a locale in the past but that year only about 6 people went and perhaps that could have been some of the logic in folks not attending. . . it wasn't conducive to a lot of folks budget and why go to Vegas half-steppin' and shit?

You can go to a gambling boat if you want to hear some cha-chinging slots.

I see your point.

I know that I do not see it that way.

Las Vegas is a great place to do...ANYTHING and EVERYTHING...and even NOTHING if you choose.

And things cost money, but there are some really cheap deals in Las Vegas.

My last trip to Las Vegas involved: 13 folks. We had a BLAST. There is so much to do and see, that everyone should be satisfied. And we can rent houses for pretty cheap too.

And if we go during the weekday...it can be even CHEAPER.

[Brightness]

Oh okay, I'm not aware of house rentals but I suppose that is an option to explore.

Aren't the rates cheapest M-R? So that would mean hotel rates would go up for the weekend.

It's been a minute since I was there but it seems that there was a more optimal (read:CHEAPER) time to visit. I can't recall because I unsubscribed from all the emails.

It does not take a whole lot of money to go to Vegas. No more than anywhere else. You can easily get airfare from just about every major city for $150(or less).

There is alot to do and see. Everytime I go my excuse for going back is there was something I didn't get to experience that was on my list.

Shopping and eating.. you are going to do that no matter where the location is. It isn't any MORE expensive then anywhere else. Especially on the eating part.

Shows.... you can grab half price tickets the day of the show at the 1/2 price ticket outlet by MGM Grand.

Even on the weekend, downtown hotel prices are decent. If you want to stay at the Bellagio or Wynn, well yes it's expensive. But c'mon, if staying at a Holiday Inn in Vallejo or Days Inn in Atlanta sufficed, staying downtown at Golden Nugget or Fitzgeralds on a budget will too.

[zuriyahe]

That's what i'm talkin' about MBS.

If the next hushnic is in Vegas...I am almost sure to go.

[Brightness]

MBS, how many Hushnics have you attended?

You and Zuri seem to have this all simplified but trust me. . .it is never that clear-cut, crystal-clear or meticulously planned. NEVER.

And walking up and down that hot-ass strip isn't going to be the haps either, I'm sure.

I know you can go just about anywhere and "ball on a budget" but I still think that Las Vegas isn't one of those places. I like to go and be unrestricted. . .not pinch pennies.

Don't misunderstand I like free shit as well as the next person but I don't think Vegas is the ticket for another official Hushnic. . .now if you and Zuri would like to plan a mini one, I'm sure folks may just meet ya'll there.

Briteness,

Maybe are are just boring and lack imagination? Who knows? It's just that there are way more things to do in Vegas than gamble and walk the strip. And most ov my visits to Vegas involved a lot of things...but gambling and waking the strip was not the only thing that I did.

And don't bother bringing up that "you haven't been to hushnic" red herring...you are trying to say that Vegas isn't good for hushnic. But what I see is that you are not really thinking out of the Vegas gambling/strip walking box.

But let's talk about Florida. What can you do in Flordia that you cannot do in Vegas...and proably do it cheaper? The flights costs are very predictable (to me 200 bucks give or take a few bucks...and you are THERE).

What can you do in Florida? You rented a house...and then what?

I have been to Vegas a few times...and I just waked the strip for the first time.


But, I understand your OPINON.

And it is my understanding that Hushnic is about the People....not the Place. So we should be able to have a good time no matter where we go. (except for the socially inept)

[zuriyahe]

Now that statement could either make or break things. . .

Uh...translation please!

Where's Pam?

[MndBdySoul]

Bright you know the answer to that question...

I have a sensitive spot for LV.. obviously.

As far as walking the strip.. who mentioned that? LOL I've been to Vegas 3 times in the past 18 months and still haven't walked the damn strip. I have no desire to either. Driving down it on my way to the hotel or to bypass 1-15 to get to 95 and head out to Henderson is the only time travel up and down it. But if people wanted to do that.. so what?

There still is no argument(unless you just lack impulse control and couldn't help gambling everytime you step foot somewhere) that Las Vegas is no more/less expensive then any where else mentioned for a Hushnic.

[que90nek]

i'll never vote on going to the same spot.......

[sistuhchey]

although I've only attended 1..it was fun none the less...it's just a few days away...from work, family..a time to kick it and be social...with folks you chat w/ on line......If you make it cool...great!!!...hope to see ya!!!!

There's oodles and oodles of sites out there..why can't the HUSH just be the social network...that it is..... :rolleyes:

Zuri,

I've been to Las Vegas and I'm not a gambler and I haven't walked the strip in it's entirety either.

And sorry to keep saying it but yes, I've been to Hushnic and I think I'm qualified to speak on knowing the m.o. (modus operandi) and how things can and typically have a tendency of going down.

THEREFORE, it is BRIGHNTNESS' OPINION that regardless of what there is that Vegas offers. . .it doesn't mesh well with PROVEN TRACK RECORD of Hushnic agendas.

As much as I consider myself a traveller, I know how to make the most of out every outing I go on and I like to take full advantage.

However, just because something appeals to one or two individuals doesn't mean that it will appeal to the group as a whole and if that's the case. . .you can just take the trip in your spare/free time and not suggest it for a Hushnic.

I stick with my assessment. . .Hushnic in Vegas--not a wise choice.

[Brightness]

Bright you know the answer to that question...

I have a sensitive spot for LV.. obviously.



I can see that you do but the point is to not just think of ourselves and our own likes when thinking of Hushnic.

As gungho and information-saturated as you are about Vegas. . .it would be nice to see that same enthusiasm in regards to the SF/Oakland Bay Area Hushnic. . .don't ya think?

[Brightness]

i'll never vote on going to the same spot.......

I've never done that either but. . .it is probably bound to happen again. It was back in ATL after only being in 3 other cities.

It's never for lack of choice of places to have it. . .it all boils down to the attendees.

[HulaSista]

For MBS and Zuri -

We already went to Vegas for Hushnic back in... hell i forgot... 2001?

If we go to Chicago... damn... I can't go that far without seeing family. *Sigh*

Can we go to a place here my relatives DON'T live ? lol... like... MONTANA????? Nebraska?????? Idaho? Places like that? (i got my nerves, huh?)

Chicago is expensive.....just letting yall know.

Been there in 2004 and was the reason I didnt get to go to hushnic.

Letting ya know.

So is there a rule that once a city has been "done" for HN, it can't be "done" again?

If so, what was the deal with Atlanta?

[HulaSista]

there is no rule. admin took it back to atl for the 5 year anniversary since the first one was in atl. he brought up orlando again because it reeped the highest attendance for its own reasons.

but i just thought i tell ya'll that we had already done vegas because it 'appeared' you didn't know that info, is all.


Rock, chi is expensive. But its such a lovely city!

[BLACK SINBAD]

I know it would be a big change for some, an adventure for others but months
ago I suggested having a HUSHNIC on the ski slopes......

Colorado or the Poconos in PA maybe?

It would be diffrent from the norm and that might entice people who
have never been in the snow to get their ski gear together and come
on out to play.

Just a suggestion.

[Brightness]

There's always "suggestions a-plenty" but when it comes down to making a formal commitment. . things fizzle and flop.

Somethings will never change in those regards.

By the way, I am not attempting to change your mind. I am just stating my point...and you are stating your point. Cool. Your MO wisdom is cool and all, but it is obvious that by your visits to Vegas, you still seem to have a rather short sided view of the place. Vegas has many things to do and is almost never the same thing twice (if you are open to take a stroll out of the casinos). The other side to this is that Vegas is very affordable. Heck, there are soo many timeshares over there that I bet that folks could even plan a free trip and stay in Vegas. So I understand that you are looking at how YOU can maximize the # of locals that you travel too. But I am looking at it from a cost/activity/location pov.

Aaaand. I agree about what appeals to some vs others. I am the last person to twist arms for places to go. I just don't know too many folks that don't like vegas. But Vegas is my vote. If we really want to choose a cool locale without considering money...then my vote will change to:

Hawaii (Maui)
Mexico
Cruise to Alaska
Cruise to Mexico
Cruise to the islands

etc.
