This post provides basic info regarding the TRASH Summer Blowout aka Viva TRASH Vegas, scheduled for the weekend of July 11-13, 2003 at the Hampton Inn Tropicana, located 1/4 mile from the famous Strip in Las Vegas, NV. A. WHO'S ELIGIBLE TO PLAY? Anyone is eligible to play Viva TRASH Vegas. In fact, we are encouraging not only TRASH regulars and quiz bowl newbies to compete, but also current and former game show contestants, local businesses and more! Since this event is a benefit for Teach For America, TRASH would love to have as many people as possible competing in an event for a good cause. B. WHAT IS THE FORMAT FOR VIVA TRASH VEGAS? This is still being worked on at this time. C. WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR VIVA TRASH VEGAS? Registration will occur on July 11, followed by an opening meeting/welcoming party. There will be games on July 12 and 13, with the closing meeting on July 13. D. WHAT ELSE IS BEING PLANNED FOR VIVA TRASH VEGAS? THERE'S GOTTA BE MORE THAN JUST GAME PLAY! You got that right. Currently, TRASH is in talks with the Boulder (CO) Jaycees to stage a Game Show Convention in Las Vegas during that weekend. The Convention would feature representatives from current and future game shows, trivia board games, writing services, etc. demonstrating their wares. In addition, we are also looking at holding lectures/thought talks/debates on the state of trivia games and game shows, featuring game show personalities, contestants, critics and trivia writers/editors. Keep in mind, this is still in the preliminary stages, but we are VERY interested in bringing this to life. There will also be plenty of time for players to enjoy Vegas during the weekend - catch a show, eat a buffet, try their hands at the blackjack tables, etc. If you are interested in playing or officiating at Viva TRASH Vegas, or if you have an idea for a weekend activity, send me an e- mail at jdinan_at_...
