Awe! Thanks for the shoutout Emily! I was beginning to think that nobody remembered me even being there since I was only around for the drinking portion... wait, I'm not sure there was a non-drinking portion.
Things I learned -
1. As it's been said, regardless of whether you agree or disagree online, the people on here are a great group - even more so in person.
2. If a random girl comes up to you at the bar inside the casino and is overly friendly, she probably has a negotiable virtue.
3. If you start drinking at noon, don't forget that the bars don't close indicating it's time to call it a night. Er, a morning.
4. My memory fades past about 2am. Okay, I already knew that but hadn't practiced it in a while.
5. Once you make friends in person with people you know online, you're no longer "anonymous".
6. It's impossible to remember everyone's name, face and screen name after 6 beers and two Crown & Gingers - much less beyond that! The pictures posted have helped clear out that "low-drunk front" though.
7. If you aren't married, it's probably not a good idea to bring your girlfriend along. That's kind of like the video of the seal surrounded by the orcas who were working as a team to bump him off the iceberg. I obviously didn't test this - just a note to self.
8. We're lucky to have the opportunity to get together. I'll do my best to make it every year.
Thanks Doug and Kristie!
Also, thanks Pengy for the killer door prize!
