Some folks from the Vegasmessage board decided to meetup while I was staying at the Super Eight near Ellis Island, and so we arranged the meetup at Ellis Island.
It was frugal. We brought our American Casino Guide coupons, got free drinks at the main bar, and then carried them into the enclosed bar area and had a fine table to sit around and put names and stories to faces.
I took down plenty of information so as not to be stuck for names, but then I lost that sheet. So my deep apologies to anyone I confuse in the photo, misname, miss. Fill me in if you can.
Left to right: Boomer's wife Sue and Boomer from Depew NY, Pebbles (Elaine) from North West of England. Nearer to Scotland than London, Jimbucc (Jim and Kathy), NannyD (Diane), Magicfish from Vegas, Sarah9Nascar, and me.
It was a fine visit, lasting a couple hours, and we talked about our experiences. The oddest thing was meeting Boomer and wife from near Buffalo who knew where my old neighborhood was and knew people who lived there when I was growing up.
It was also cool that otherwise we came from very different parts of the world. That is one thing I love about Vegas. Also, our Vegas experiences were very different. Pebbles was staying for a couple months, others were there just for a few days, Magicfish was there for life. The perspectives and stories were quite varied and interesting and yet we all had this community in common.

Thanks for coming all who could manage the time. Sorry to be so long in posting and so dysfunctional.
