2 Brothers in Vegas, and 1 in New Zealand?

No, my brother who flies for UAL married a Kiwi woman who works for Qantas and he married her in Wellington, NZ for her family's sake; he lives in Vegas and she will too.

Jeff Head - the trip took me 19 hours in the air, over thirty with layovers...ouch!....that's the cost of saving bucks by flying on 3 different airlines enroute and return.

By August 1 I should know if I'll be attending. I'm not good at planning things in advance. I have my 25 year college reunion coming up in September too.

[LurkerNoMore!]

I have my 25 year college reunion coming up in September too.

There ain't no way.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

OK, I might consider coming if you think you can get me tickets for the Cirque du Soliel "Mystere" show, which is - wow! - conveniently playing at Treasure Island! :-)

My son's gymnastics coach has a friend or two in the cast (grin).

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"You're an Elvis impersonator? ;-)"

LOL!!!
Nah, just a Unspun groupie!

[diotima]

That is very possible, Mystere starts on Sat. night at 10:30pm, right after the dinner. If there is enough interest from attendees, we can look into getting a group deal for tickets.

[diotima]

Yo....

[The Shrew]

Are all ya'all gorgeous Texas Gals gonna be in Vegas?

Regards,

TS

[LurkerNoMore!]

Due to the exceptionally high number of attractive Texas female freepers attending, I will be acting as chaperon.

[sauropod]

Announcement looks spiffy.

His Royal Podness

[LurkerNoMore!]

HRP... *lol*

Arne...Just a hop skip & a jump from Minnesota!

[Senator Pardek]

On the upside, we were hoping you'd be there physically, not virtually.

WHERE AM I?

[The Shrew]

Due to the exceptionally high number of attractive Texas female freepers attending, I will be acting as chaperon.

I will expect to see you and the ladies at each of the Seminars! This will be a great Prep for the Midterms!

Regards,

TS

[sauropod]

The Nut comes to Vegas.

aka. The 8th wonder of the world.

[LurkerNoMore!]

Are you refering to dio or Maf? lol

[Budge]

I propose that the Arkansas Hog Wild FReepers co-sponsor the event as well.

So what would that entail?

Have you contacted the powers that be?

[sweetliberty]

Here is an excerpt from a FReepmail from Diotima:

"Do you think the your chapter would be interested in co-sponsoring it? What that means is that you promote the event to your chapter and give them information and that you help out in someway with the conference. This doesn't mean that you actually have to have members there, although that would be great, but it means that you help us bump the conference thread and such. Please let me know if you guys are interested in doing this so I can put you on the list."

[The Shrew]

Great! See if you can drag Travis McGee with you out of San Diego!

Looking forward to it!

Regards,

TS

[diotima]

Have you ever seen Katie at the Bellagio craps table?

I don't think 'pod is talking about me.

I wonder if the TI has tennis courts.....

[gonzo]

Gee, I was looking for something to do in August!

If you guys aren't too busy, c'mon over and UNPACK BOXES, DAMMIT!

We should have an un-packing party at the new digs. "Where do you want the Elvis sculpture?
Geez, who needs this much baby-oil?"

I gotta hunch we're gonna be busy in August, guys. Have fun at the Conference, kids! Chuck Muth is a solid guy!

Who knew that we would be moving - again - in August - in Florida?

Happy Memorial Day, y'all, and don't forget to salute our fallen comrades-in-arms. I'll be playing the bagpipes, badly. Our neighbours will be glad we're leaving!

Stay well and vigilant, folks...........FRegards

[Budge]

So let's do it!
