I never did get a volunteer to play host for the Lounge this coming Friday.
I will open it early if needed but then I'm getting on an airplane to FRiva Las Vegas and won't be able to get back online until, at least, 2:00 or 3:00 PM mountain time.

Any volunteers?

[Gabz]

If you open it early - I'll hostess until 2pm Eastern

[Just another Joe]

Thanks, Gabz. Hopefully I'll be back online by that time, at least for a little while.
Hope they have a high speed connection in my room. ha

I gotta work at the Elvis Parade downtown on Friday morning (you're gonna miss THAT for Las Vegas? LOL), or else I would gladly volunteer.

If no one has opened it up by the time I get back at 1 or 2 pm, I could open it up then.

[Gabz]

No problem buddy - you know my standing Friday afternoon date with my husband!!!!!

[Just another Joe]

It'll already be open but you could check in to see if I'm back online by then.
If I'm not you could sure host a FRiva day Lounge.
The Elvis parade that should put you right in the mood.

Hope they have a high speed connection in my room. ha

According to Treasure Island's web site they have high speed access (boasting 4X T1 speed) in the rooms. It charges an undisclosed amount based on half hour increments.

Although I've got a couple laptops, I am looking forward to going puter-less for a few days in favor of personal interaction.

Hopefully, you'll be pouring with a heavy hand when we meet in the real smoker's lounge. I'll be getting into Vegas this evening and will have a spot staked out for you.

Very nice. Find a bartender that knows how to make a vodka sour and I'll be in your debt. (For at least one drink)
We won't be getting ti the hotel until about 2:00 tomorrow afternoon.
Look for the guy with the good looking Philippina on his arm.

[TheRightGuy]

I'll print this out and take it with me so I can quiz the bartenders:

You can also use

[TheRightGuy]

You'll have to give me lessons when we get there.

I'm off. Spouse hijacked the family jeepster. I gotta hoof it 4 blocks to catch a 40 minute train ride downtown, schlep my bag across the loop, and grab an el out to Midway.

Oh the joys of getting the cheapest ticket, I live right next door to O'Hare.

Nor has Berger uttered anything as inflammatory as has Warren Christopher, Clinton's first secretary of state. Christopher likened terrorism suspects held by the Bush administration to the "disappeareds" who were secretly executed in Argentina years ago.
