    VEGAS, baby! Who's up for a WAB-a-palooza meet-up?

    Anybody actually LIVE in this quiet li'l burg we call Las Vegas? Because we need to get together, and then invite a few other WABbits to join us for some barbecue and beer and talk and stuff.

    Anybody interested?

    Jules, it's just possible that I may be Atlanta in January to visit some awesome folks I met at FantasyFest in Key West last year. If I show up, would you come out for cocktails some night? If I gave enough notice, and you didn't have a scheduling conflict?

    I'm in Las Vegas about six times a year. A Meet-N-Greet doesn't sound too terrible.

    What part of town did you settle in? When I was there the east side was pretty scary but the west side had a normal vibe. I liked to hike around the Mt Charleston area. Hated the spaghetti bowl, but all the road construction should be finished by now.

    I'm 4 1/2 - 5 hours from Atlanta right above Jacksonville, FL. Sometimes we take off to Six-Flags, but not usually this time of year, but anything is possible. Just let me know as far ahead as possible, and I'll see what is going on. Thanks Blues.

    We're in North Las Vegas. Nice neighborhood, no scariness.

    As for the road construction being finished, you are not even CLOSE.

    Tell you what, Blues, when I do eventually make it back to Vegas (Lord knows when THAT's gonna be), I'll drop you a line

    Doh! I was just in Vegas 2 weeks ago for Kings' preseason game against the Avs.

    Keith, I'll take up on your offer and raid your beer next time I'm in Vegas.

    Aw, MAN, that really hurts. Opportunity wasted...

    Okay, ANYbody else that comes to town, you are COMMANDED to fire a flare when you're on final approach. I'll make the time to meet you.
