• DATELINE: LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
  Vegas Baby Vegas 4 (VBVIV) is now in the history books. Steve O, Jim, Matt, Jerome, Larry, your editor, and the Holy One all took part in this years event. Special thanks to Jerry, Kathlene, and Gwenda for their generosity in hooking the boys up to see Leno in Vegas and Craig Ferguson in LA. Also for the nice send-off party with Bob Cowsill of 'The Cowsills'. It was very fun weekend with some memorable and outrageous moments. 
  
  Some of Steve O's favorite lines: Jer to security guard - "Oh, so now this is your establishment, you look like you make $5 and hour. You need a breath mint, man." Jeff to Jim - "Jim - watch my chips, eh?  I think I have an emergency." Walt - "Man" Jim to security guard - "He lost $800 before breakfast"

Jerome said... What a blast man. How do you top a trip that includes fights with angry security guards, counting equipment, the best along with the worst food money can buy, quarter bounce with dice into cleavage at the craps table, and on and on. Larry thanked Jerry, Gwenda and the guys for including him in this memorable trip. . The Holy One chimed in... I just returned from buying some new underwear...soil resistant! . Jim added... While it was brief I cannot explain how relaxing (mentally) that it was to sit at Gladstone's. Being in -6 degree weather 12 hours later reinforced how great the opportunity was.
