One day *sigh*

I sooooo wanna meet you awesome peeps!!!!

Glad to hear that everyone had a great time, and am now hanging for the pics *L*

I'm looking for excuses to hunt for elevators still.

Leaving you was sooooooo hard.












literally :hot:

Now we'll have to get serious about PAGAN 2011 ...

Dang I wish I could have been in Vegas! Aqua, I know how you feel. After the first one we attended in Niagara, all we could do was think about the next year in hopes we could get together again. Missing this one was really a downer. :(

I really wish you and the Mrs could have been here, db. Another time... this will not be the last get together I attend. :)

Started off the day with a suicidal luggage bag. It ripped at the seams. After the purchase of a new one, PF and I were off to breakfast with the RedHots and the OFs. Then it was naptime, (I know it's hard to believe, but for reals... it's been a busy week), followed by lunch at the pool, a goodbye to PF, a hunt for Mt Dew, some relaxation, and then our final dinner in Vegas. It was a good long meal with too much consumption of food. :p I am soooo stuffed. All that's left is a final pack, some sleep, and then getting up bright and early to get to the airport.

I am SO glad I made this trip. A truly wonderful experience. :)

PF's right when he says you can't possibly know what your missing until you get together with fellow Pixies and find out that, if anything, they're better than you realized from just posting here. A better bunch of people would be hard to find.

Another time will happen and maybe that time we'll be there. I know for sure we'll try.

Like I said, just everyone get home safely. :wave:

Maybe i shouldnt go....hmmmm.....y'all might be disappointed in me

I'm actually really shy :)

You'd fit in just fine. The get togethers are about enjoyment, not egos.

I think that every time too Fang. I worry that I'm not going to be what people expect. Ask Aqua how many times I warned him.

Fang we love you and if you are shy then you can be shy or maybe because it is us you wouldn't be as shy as you think. :grope:

Lil is so right... AND I couldn't tell you how often she warned me that I'd be disappointed, because I lost count. (Though the truth is she is every bit as wonderful in person as she is online.) I was a little worried it'd be awkward, but hanging out and talking with everyone was as easy as logging in and reading/replying to a post.

Easier...no typos to correct. :p

:rofl:

So true!

100% correct, you're a prophet! ;)

As mentioned, my choice of chance is on the craps tables. :D A trip to Monaco and playing in Le Grand Casino of Monte Carlo is the only place on earth more fetching of participating than Las Vegas. After a long absence (which our cab drivers were quick to point out :o ) from repeated visits past, I confess to the attraction and did take an allocated daily purse for the dancing dominos. As I seemed to be the solo PAGAN with such a desire, gaming was not on the top of our option list and probably was well. :rolleyes2 So PAGANS being the considerate bunch they are, after the fantastic dinner we sojourned on a cooler evening (96F [37C] :faint: ) stroll for the sights on the strip and possible encounter with a croupier.

We did happen onto a double ended table at the Encore but would have not been my first choice with a $25 minimum. [For the craps players~ My bet method is a minimum 'Don't Pass' on the come-out roll, then only bet minimum across the 4, 10 and 5, 9 box bets with a double on the bottom of the point. I backup the 'wrong' with the table odds of 3 times for the outside or 2 times for the 5 or 9. I never bet the 6 or 8 with only the 6 to 5 odds and don't back the 'wrong' with 5 ways to make the point and 6 ways to 7-out. You can see the balance of the 'stay bets' against the 'wrong' if the point is made and the payoff if it isn't for minimum wins and looses until a few good point runs and the 7-outs come together for good hits and you go home.] With uninterested but polite friends standing by from walking off the decadent dinner and a $25 min table, I put two day play money up with a modified method and chanced for the initial runs. In the next ten minutes it didn't happen! LOL

The next afternoon we headed to the Mirage for pre-show dinner and came upon a $10 table. :D Still above my method bankroll I again put the other two days allocation together and ran a few minutes, again with my trusty companion, OldFart, standing by. After a steady grind downwards I found the secret. OldFart left to catch up with the group in the restaurant.DO NOT let OF or Lilith near you when gambling!!! ;) I walked away with $70sum of my stash in 10 minutes.

After witnessing the mind blowing show, "Love", we returned for drinks and a long chat session (it's what we do best :nod: ) in the opulent lobby of the Trump. :) As the night wore on the kibitzing and other activities of the day took their toll by midnight, so I left for Circus-Circus where Aqua and I were staying. The driver left me off at a different door and low-and-behold, ……..my path took me through the pits where there were $5 min tables. :D :D I had the remnants of my gambling money and could run a few cycles my way. After an hour and a half I had $17 more than I came to town with and knew this was not going to gold strike visit, so I packed it in after the few short skirmishes and something better than a loss for my renewed contact with Vegas. :rofl:

Glad to hear you borrowed your $$ back :p PF it was fun watching you that night. Perhaps I may be bad luck.
