Phew........I'm tired. Up at 3:30 this morning to eventually make a 6am flight home. At work now where I've not been since December 21st. And finally through all my email.
Thanks again to all who attended. I would never have thought we'd crest the 100 in attendance mark. Without you there is obviously no party to attend.
Based on the positive feedback received and mine and Jerome's interactions with the folks at Gilley's, I do believe we have found a permanent home for this annual event. The room gave us all plenty of space to get around and there's still plenty of room if our attendance continues to grow. And the folks at Gilley's were great to work with.
In response to the banter about when the last of us left Gilleys, please understand that room rental was part of the overall cost of the event. In other words it's rented by the hour. Our contract had the event starting at 6:30pm and ending at 10:30pm, so four hours of time. I know some folks were there at around 6pm and the last of us didn't leave until about 11pm. I think Gilley's was more than accomodating to us when you consider what was stated in the contract, far moreso than if you had such anywhere in Las Vegas I can tell you.
Having said that, it is I believe quite easy to extend that time next year to allow for a longer event. I will be starting a thread hopefully this evening for feedback from this years event, please chime in there with your thoughts and/or ideas.
Thanks again everyone, time for me to wake up and get back to work!
Then I came here and the Family is back together.
