Yeah, I know it's still early, but I want to keep the idea alive and also see how much interest there is. Besides, the "June Mega" planning has been going on for what, 10, 15 years now? lol

This M&G is the brainchild of the infamous "Crew" which is 21player, Loomis, Joey (a non-TA member), VegasMan and myself.

Details:

The actual M&G will be at the Peppermill Fireside Lounge at approx. 5 or 6 pm on Monday December 15th. We thought this to be the best time since attendees will have time to have dinner beforehand and since most shows are dark that time of year, people can hangout after the party for further "Old School mobbed-up" activities.

Post M&G activities will include Craps at the Riviera next door along with a tour of the joint. The Riv. was used for the actual casino scenes in the movie "Casino" so it's a perfect spot to start the activities. Other activities will include Downtown for 21 lessons with 21player, basic Craps lessons with me and VegasMan and Hot Hot Pennies lessons with Loomis. (you need to hit the bonus round) Joey is a quiet guy so we haven't given him a job yet, but he's pretty good at drinking so we'll figure something out.

This is just a start and I'm sure we can convince Loomis to lead a tour of East Fremont and areas outside the magical canopy such as the El Cortez, the Atomic, the Gold Spike and the Western. Loomis is a student of Chitowngambler so he knows his way around.

C'mon people, this is one of the most cost effective times to visit your favorite city and we're giving plenty of advance notice so you can make appropriate plans. The weather is typically cool but comfortable so that shouldn't be an issue and if you are normally a "Strippy", you'll get the chance to see Vegas from the other side without being on your own.

Don't be afraid, I promise we won't bite.

( I need to hear from those who have already showed interest so I can start a list, so please speak up here)

Mr. and Mrs. Ducky will be in attendance as long as we can get the airfare and room (and you advised this was a good time to book rooms so assume that will not be any problem)!

I like the Peppermill idea since we haven't yet been there and want to try it!

Very nice Ducky, I look forward to meeting y'all. Joey and I will be at the ElCo most likely so I'm watching rates. If enough people are interested in staying there, I'll see about getting a group rate.

Too bad Alice. There is no way you can work that out?

Damama... what can I say? Maybe we'll do a 5 Guys M&G beforehand.

Steve... you'll be there?

Mary Ann... with that Catholic/ Italian name and being from Brooklyn, you can make sure we have the "mobbed up" part done authentically. Welcome aboard.

This is a great agenda folks!

For, Downtowners, Strippy's, and of course the Chitowners. Hopefully led by Chitown himself or his

assistant loomis. Security will be available by Dr V

and his secret Virginia Mafia Boys. Because you wont

see yours truly down in the purified air area without

them, sh@# I might not make it out of the Fireside Lounge if Spike keeps buying the drinks, lol..

This will be the M&G of a lifetime

Plan ahead seats are limited.

Got you on the list VJ. It'll be great having you along.

As 21 said, this will be a great time. The Crew mapped this out last December and we can assure you won't be diappointed.
