I'm a bad organizer but I'm going to the entire tournament and have never been able to make one of these things. Maybe the first weekend? Anyone?

I'm all in for it - will even attempt to bring my pard to it.

The NABC starts today if I am not mistaken.

Edit: Appears the NAP started yesterday, though there are no results posted at the ACBL website.

I am there, we stuffed 5000 tote bags yesterday. I will find the message board today, and post a signin sheet. Maybe someone can decide on a time and place in the hotel.

I'll be there for the whole thing also. Will be in the Vanderbilt area from Monday-Friday either playing or doing Vugraph.

I'll be there the whole time. Unless I see Josh or someone decide on day and time, I'll look for it at the NABC information desk. If it is in the morning hours, there are several areas in the renovated hotel-casino that can informally accommodate, say, a gathering of 20 people.

PS. My Red Ribbon partner had to cancel his trip. Anyone want to play with me Thu-Fri 3/18-3/19, either that event or Silver Ribbon?

Sigh...I was looking forward to making it.

But things just picked up at work and my bosses won't be very happy if I have to go out of town at that time...

Why don't we decide that for whoever steps up and organizes, we will find the information at the NABC Information booth?

If I know what the forumers have in mind, I could step up and do it. How long? With or without food or drink? When?

I spoke to Grand Sierra (Randy, manager of Player's Club). There is a large seating area next to the Players Club and that area is quiet, typically empty all day and night, has seating enough for more than what our group would need, and it is free = at no charge, to use. Located to the left of the main entrance where the bronze horses statue is. Or to the right, if you are looking toward the main entrance from inside the casino floor, next to the Player's Club customer service (opposite wall from the restaurants).

If this works, fine. If not, let me hear suggestions and be happy to get this going in some other direction. Then, what day and what time?

That's a great idea because it is right next to the Starbucks and deli concessions. Maybe Tuesday between the afternoon and evening sessions?

I may have not been clear. The place I suggested, is on the West wall, next to the Players Club customer service. The Starbucks lobby is in the the South end of the floor and of course also a possibility though it may be filled with travelers and Starbucks customers while the Players Club room is normally empty.
