I'm in. I would really love to see all the Spektrettes/ers "IRL"! Maybe we can have the meet during one of the MAKEUP SHOWS in Vegas, just a thought.
National Specktra meet?

I voted March 2010, but just about anything after the 2nd week in March would be fine for me.

Oooh!! I have always waited for a national meet up (thought I was the only one who secretly thought it'd be cool LOL) however I don't think Vegas is the place for it. What about us who are like 20? :/ Personally, fun doesn't involve mandatory alcohol or gambling for me but I would hate not to be included because I wasn't allowed in certain places due to my age after I traveled all the way to Vegas to hangout! lol
Also, I would reconsider choosing August as the month. That's the month that most people begin going back to school and a lot of us Specktrites are in college.
I understand this is for Vegas but maybe you could consider doing a poll on other suggestions based on temperature the month it's planned for, attractions, etc.

NO! It's worse!
Ahhh bittersweet memories of me walking out my hotel and having my face blasted off from the "DRY" heat that hits you like a MAC truck! The word is "sweltering"
I think this is great idea long overdue...but it's soooo lovely in the fall or spring - off season, of course, before the rain sets in. October in Vegas is Heavenly! I cannot stress enough my feelings about a Makeup Maven's need for mild weather!
Don't believe me? Try applying your Cremesheen lippies with their Cremesheen Glass over it and then take your hairdryer to your lips for five minutes!!! Tell me what you see after!
This will be fun! It would be incredible if we had some seminars/workshops/tutorial classes, maybe even get a MAC Rep to come and give a talk or an Artist to give a seminar. It's possible they'd probably jump at the chance. I've been to enough Fashion Doll Conventions across the country to know that this definitely adds to the meet-up experience.
I bet you they'd even do a exclusive souvenir lippie for it- not a free lippie, but souvenir we'd pay for! If at least 150 people commited to going and you charged $60-$65 for the whole weekend you could probably get them to do one!
One can dream?!?
Just think of the names they could call it:
L. V. Rendezvous,
Specktra,
Luck Be A Lady,
Viva Las Vegas, Baby
Oh wouldn't it be fabulous to name the souvenir lippie after the host Hotel:
Stardust (Just for old times sake...I miss it so!)
MGM Grand!
Circus, Circus
Venetian Pink
Mêlée At The Mirage
Brunch At The Bellagio
The Strip
Luxor-y
Wynn, Wynn
All Frosts of course! O.K. so they sound like an OPI Nail Polish collection waiting to happen.
Oh Janice is going to kill us!
O.K. so no souvenir lippies.

A national meet up would be awesome, a make up show would be a great idea. I would definitely go to a make up/ specktra convention.
I travel quite alot internationally and domestically for work and personal reasons. I don't know if I would come to Vegas for it though, I absolutely despise that city!

Yeah, let's see if I can convince my parents to allow their underage daughter to fly to Vegas by herself to meet a bunch of makeup obsessed strangers she met on the internet.
Maybe if it was in 2020, it'd be a different story, but you never know.
Sounds like a ton of fun! I've been wanting to attend a Specktra meetup for a long time! Vegas would be crazy!!!!

You would not believe how often I erupt into a soaring chorus of, "Luck Be A Lady" but rarely has it ever been more appropriate than during the reading of this thread...
My vote is June 2010...I'll be 30 June 15, 2010 so this will give me an alternative to the glass of wine
and jagged cliff
itenerary I have been envisioning. (Me=30
...math problem has never been more true!)
MAC... Vegas... MACPro... Wayne
Newton... CCO... Specktrettes... MAC... GLITTER... MAC... NEON LIGHTS... MAC...
Yeah, I'd definitely postpone that cliff thing until 40 for that CoCtail! Speaking of CoCtail...
'Nuff said! I rest my case...
