Just a note: anyone in the St Louis area, I'll be at the Casino Queen for the BACA National Conference thursday, friday, and saturday. I already have tentative plans to meet up with fistful at some point... any other folks interested?

I see you put me in there as a selling point. Good luck with that.

Bogie's in the area, and, and...shoot. Somebody else, just don't recall who. undecided

That's the one on the Illinois side, right?

I can come by and tip a cool one...

Strings · « **Reply #3 on:** January 14, 2008, 02:30:51 PM »

I'm pretty sure that it's the IL side...

I'll be busy during the days (Board of Director's meeting: as a state rep, I have to be there). and I'll be doing security on a couple nights. But there's no reason a bite to eat couldn't be found... Wink

Beware!
Fistful is NOT a 14 year old girl...he's Chris Hanson....

So... what does everybody think of the idea of dinner (maybe friday night) at the Casino Queen? Make for an easy get-together.

And Bogie... might want to introduce you to a couple of our merchandise folks... give you some more business...

I'll PM my phone # to anybody interested...

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #6 on:** January 14, 2008, 04:47:26 PM »

I probably can't. It being at a Casino is a bit of sticking point for me. Sorry.

Bogie · « **Reply #7 on:** January 14, 2008, 04:54:47 PM »

Well, I'll be there... And I'll see if I can whip up a few freebie stickies for BACA, since it's a pretty darn noble cause.

That, and they'll make nice teasers...

Strings · « **Reply #8 on:** January 14, 2008, 06:18:58 PM »

Ok... a restaurant near the hotel: I'm not going to have that much ability to travel...

Sheesh... like we can't adapt things...

Bogie · « **Reply #9 on:** January 14, 2008, 06:25:02 PM »

Strings, trust me. There aren't any restaurants outside the casino complex that you'd want to go to on the east side.

And on the St. Louis side, well, pretty much all the restaurants serve alcohol. You'd probably have to drive about 8-10 miles to find a Denny's...

Strings · « **Reply #10 on:** January 14, 2008, 06:28:39 PM »

ok fistful... anything you can suggest?

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2008, 06:45:45 PM »

Um, there's this place in St. Charles. laugh

If you've been keeping up with that little news item.

I really don't want to make things hard on anybody. The only thing I can suggest is that you guys go ahead and plan on the Casino Queen. I'll let you know if I'm going to be there or not. I'm actually going to be off that Friday, and on through til Monday, so my schedule is open. Heck, my stitches are supposed to come out about then, so why don't you bring all those tools you mentioned, Strings? I'll get all liquored up and let you go to work.

Strings · « **Reply #12 on:** January 14, 2008, 07:11:55 PM »

Bogie, bring a video camera: youtube is just DYING for vid of fistful all liquored up... Cheesy

Actually, there's a good reason to have dinner at the Casino Queen, Bogie: you bring a couple samples of what you can do, and you'll be showing them amid 600 or so people that might want to order. PM me your email address, and I'll send you the necessary graphics... Wink

Bogie · « **Reply #13 on:** January 14, 2008, 08:57:19 PM »

Well, the national organization probably is gonna want a chunka change, but hey, we can always work something out...

280plus · « **Reply #14 on:** January 15, 2008, 12:55:15 PM »

Would one of you send me some chicken fried steak and mashed taters with lotsa gravy? PLEASE?!? grin

Bogie · « **Reply #15 on:** January 15, 2008, 05:58:02 PM »

Not a problem. I'll ask for a go-box, and stop by the post office with it next Monday...

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #16 on:** January 15, 2008, 06:02:00 PM »

Now that's gonna be some good eatin!!

And I'm going to join you guys at the casino. Save room for me at the Blackjack table. angel

280plus · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2008, 06:43:17 PM »

yummmm...

Strings · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2008, 07:34:08 PM »

Hey... can we use fistful for a bet? angel

280plus · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2008, 02:10:54 AM »

"I see your $20,000 and raise you a fistful..."

Works for me! grin

Bogie · « **Reply #20 on:** January 16, 2008, 09:20:05 AM »

Now, we don't wanna corrupt fistful in that den of evil...

We'll take him to PT's for the corruption part...

Strings:

Drifting the thread, but this looks like the most appropriate spot. Until recently, your posts here represented my only exposure to BACA. Then, last week, while using the DFW TRE for the first time to get home, I met some members of the Cross Timbers BACA Chapter taking a group of children to a Dallas Mavericks game. I had a pleasant conversation with some nice folks doing special work and put a face to the organization, so to speak.

So, if you happen to meet Blaze or Wildman, tell them Scott (the guy on the train) said hello.

As long as I can say you guys made me do it. The wife knows you guys all carry guns, so... cheesy

(PT's is a strip club, in case any of you are lost.)

Uh, what time? Huh?

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:08:10 PM »

Where was yous guys? I came by around 7.45. Looked around at the bars and stuff. Wandered over to the "private party" area and was so informed. Then left.

Catch ya next time, I guess. undecided
