    Not making it this year buddy, to much going on here. You'll have to handle the complaining models yourself.

    I can't believe that only 2 people here go to the 2nd largest show in the business. I used to pay my expenses out of my own pocket to do this, guess I'm just another old guy. Always make myself better.

    I agree obxeyeguy, I kinda wanted to see some responses. I like the whole expo experience, but I go for the education, think I have 13 hours lined up this year.

    While the skimpy dressed models may be though provoking, they invented this thing called internet that works well for education minus the 6 hour travel time.

    Hey, as funny as that is, I stole most of it from James H.! The cheap BJ tables were for you Buddy, I play the "real" tables normally. Most of this I can't deny, live with it, it's Vegas.

    My friend Braheem, with all the above post mostly true, I don't take classes in Vegas, all buying and networking with my friends. I do find time to hit the tables and the pool for a while, but it is a "great tax write off " for my business, and I have friends that live there, so I get to visit.
