If I made this post a narrative, it would chew up 90% of available forum space, and embarrass 42% of participants (including myself), so i'll keep it as short as possible (not very).
Just like last year, I think that we all had a great time. What made this year better, I think, is that there were so many more people. Also, we had a private party room which made it much easier to navigate and we didn't have to wait around in 10-15 minute lines to get a drink or get some food.
Anyways, first off I should thank my long-time good friends who I mostly hung around with this weekend: Jack, Jack SR., Hoops, Ironlock and Barfly. Truly good people who know how to have a great time. I think that these guys would agree that we all had a blast.
I'll spare Jack any special accolades because he gets enough already and I don't want his ego to get too big, as if that would happen. Anybody that knows him knows i'm kiddin'. Natch.
Jack SR...well, what can you say? I met him last year at this thing and he has more 'get up and go' than any three of us put together. What a GREAT guy.
Fletcher, I know that we all greatly appreciate the work that you put into this thing. Thanks man, it came off without a hitch! And also thanks for the well-wishes for my dad.
Much thanks also to Senor Capper for the genuine well-wishes in person and also in a post here. Lanny, it's greatly appreciated. It was great seeing you again and at the latest i'll catch you next year at this time.
Damn, i'm sure (hope not) that i'll miss some people, but all of these people contributed to the great weekend that I had:
RAY: Great guy who I hope to hook up with in the future. Thanks for the BS sessions, Ray. Oh, BTW, Ray has a pretty, charming wife who probably loves gambling more than all of us put together.
KC Wolf: As expected, a class guy, just like he posts. He told me that he first thought I was an a*shole(hard to figure, really) when he came to this site. I told him he wasn't alone. Good talking to ya for a while, Wayne.
Global Trance: Jeez, this guy not only made CD's for nearly the whole party, but he also is probably the nicest guy i've ever met. Glad you could make it, Jimmy. See ya next year.
Flipper 13: Great guy who I got to spend some time with. Really nice guy. Good luck back in LV, buddy.
Mags: Nice guy who I wish i could have spent more time with.
Nick Douglas and girlfriend (Chiatame?)...sorry for butchering up your girlfriend's name. She is a real sweety. Great to meet ya, man. I have a feeling that we had a lot more conversation left when we got interrupted, but we'll hook up again.
NHL/NFG: Hope you guys don't always get lumped in together, but, well, you know...
....seriously, you guys are really cool and I had a great time talking with you on Saturday and Sunday.
Nolan and NCU: Well, we talked and nobody died.....so that's cool.
Gatorbait: see above.
Mama- great to see ya again. Sorry I couldn't fullfill your dream of watching me break-dance. I was way too tipsy to do my patented spin moves. Hope ya understand.
1837: good to meet ya, man. Hope to jump on some of your formula 1 plays. I love soccer, but have never bet on it. You can be sure I will when Formula 1 starts.
Ms Dee/Bohica/4Bubba: Glad you could make it to the party. Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you, but by all accounts you are a class act. See ya next year.
In summary- Great time.
