The main site URL mentioned is DaretobeBond.com.


This is true, there is also a "MySpace" site with pics and info from past DTBB's. The main site will be updated REAL soon, and I think all the attendees will enjoy what we have planned for them, and their significant others, this year, if I do say so myself!!! :tup:

And before you say it, Jag, no you can not bribe me, Bryce has my retainer covered for a few years still.... :tup:

Somebody has to keep you in scotch. :(

Friday's meeting of the crew went well. As the saying goes - "Everything is 80% pre-production". Now we've got to get some details for you guys and ALL the details for the crew along with updating the site.

"When will 'then' be 'now?'"

"Soon."

We'll let you know and hopefully I also have a main pager on CBn as well at some point. I *think* the Admiral may allow it. I've been good lately. :tup:

Based on all discussed, you're in for a treat.

Of that, my friend, I have not been in any doubt. Indeed, you are something of a victim of your well-deserved success.

Feel free to send some "old grapes" my way Jaguar!

Which reminds me, I never did get the packet from DTBB2 which contained the menu from Nove. What was that excellent sparkling wine we had with the first course?

Ok...ok.... So the DTBB staff is lagging(really lagging!), in the debriefing packet arena. All I can say is we had some issues with some SMERSH agents, but all will be rectified soon.... Soon, I tell you, soon.....

Well, at least the CIA has a better DENTAL plan than the British Gov.t's AGENCY MI6!!!! Plus, MI6 is sooo slow, (How slow are they!!!???) they let arch enemies build entire evil complexes right under thier noses! :tup:

So long as the SMERSH agents have been dealt with, then the wait shall be worth it. I am looking forward to the arrival of the debriefing package, whenever it arrives, and, of course, the release of this year's event schedule. :tup:

...The stars align...the cards are falling into place..and it looks like The Dove may be making his way to Vegas (again!) :tup: and during the time of DTBB 3!! Unfortunately I probably won't be attending the event itself, I actually have plans in motion with my gang of crazy friends from college to celebrate a double belated 30th birthday.. My friend's birthday was two days before mine and we started planing this bash.. We are probably going to be together that same weekend that DTBB is going on, but I plan on heading out a few days before hand (found some terrific rates at The Sahara) and will most likely be visting the Venetian (one place I have YET to see in Vegas!) So we'll see what happens.. :tup: Things are not yet totaly set in stone..

What Felix said. :tup:

Dove - Great to hear you'll be about. Now, DTBB is not done ala' carte as you know, but there are some times of "off duty/down time" for all here and there. Hopefully we can enjoy another Vesper together as we did last year. I know Flicka would be interested. First round is on you this time.

Stay in touch and we'll coordinate as the time approaches. Nice choice on the Sahara. Felix and I had a lovely time there back in '03. Anyway, do keep me posted on your events.

Alright, cause I went on the site and it had said that it was over. What is the link to the updated site, and does anyone know how much it'll cost yet?

It's going to be the exact same location (URL); however, the site as it exists right now, reflects last year's event. Since this year's event's schedule is still being finalised, the site hasn't been updated. This is, I suspect, because the site's design is such that Charlie and his crew pretty much have to update the whole site at once, or not at all. Otherwise, you'd have a horrific mess with some links on the site reflecting last year's event and others reflecting this year's. It would cause more trouble than it would rectify. Be patient my friend. This IS worth waiting for.

You'll drink what Charlie tells you - AND LIKE IT! :)

My guess is single malt scotch, vodka, gin, Lillet Blanc, and beer. Lots of beer.
