Hi ladies.

I think my life is considerably better than it was a week ago. Before
then it was just ok, I'm now thinking what do I do to beat that?
Well, making sure I do it again next year would be a good start I think!

I was quite nervous about doing a Production Show for the first time
and it was a little scary at first but it turned out to be all I had
expected and more. In addition to that, the night was enhanced even
more by the easy going terrific sophisticated ladies I shared a Limo
with. This completed the perfect evening for me.

Thank's to everyone who helped to make my DLV week such a memorable
experience and to the tireless volunteer event planners who seemed to
enjoy doing it as much as we enjoyed being on the receiving end of
things.

Terrific week, hopefully I'll see you all again next year.

Hugs and more hugs.
Kate.

Quick Synopsis

NSDII was fun, a little weird but fun, I can't believe some one would
drive that far to get laid for money, but hey... I drive 1000 miles to
drive trails in the Hummer, so I guess its all relative. We had a few
great conversations with the manager, and the food was plentiful, Aiko,
you're a goddess.

Bertolini's EON a great idea. Michele's hard work and planning on this
one really paid off (all 10 minutes of it). I love the mainstream
events and this one was great. Good food, great conversation, no
hassles from the unwashed masses.

What did we do afterwards? I'm sure it involved alcohol, but I can't
remember. Yes, I remember Showgirls of Magic, Tony was great. The show
is always fun, a little repetitive, but very enjoyable. (Thanks to the
sweetheart from England for doing this for us!)

The San Remo as always was unremarkable. The air conditioning was dead
in the bar area and the smoke level in the Remo is always mostly
unbearable.

Wednesday night in the best interests of the entire DLV group, I made
the ultimate sacrifice and went and visited Charles at his bar to make
sure everything was as planned. As expected, things were found to be
in order, but nevertheless an extreme level of alcohol sampling (for
poisons, etc.) was conducted in the best interests of the group.

Thursday during Golf, Gina went to Red Rock Canyon and found a truly
excellent washed out impassable 4x4 road, it was great. It was a first
for me to four wheel in Gina mode, felt natural, what a surprise. Got
home, slept... changed for the BIG NIGHT!!

Folies Bergere, all I can say is where do all those beautiful tall tiny
(skinny) girls come from? The envy level again was incredibly high. Of
course as much as we'd all love the body, I bet we'd hate the
maintenance package. I loved the show, I really liked Wally Eastwood
(in "V" last year?) the dance numbers were great, but the early covered
show?? (It was actually fine) The Tropicana was okay. I had a
moment of a few words with a smallish smart-ass college student, but he
got his attitude straight by the time we parted ways.

Limo Tour. It seemed to start off a bit slow, but as always, the
highlight of the week. (Thanks Jamie Ranae) The highpoint was Four
Queens and Ceasar's Palace and mixing with the white bread (unwashed
masses), we met some fun people and did a lot of education. The
burritos and drop off were great, our driver, Eugene seemed a bit taken
aback at the beginning, but at the Four Queens he had a ball with us!

Charles' Bar, as always the man did not disappoint. He made a real
effort to comp people (who were playing) on drinks this year and I hope
we made a real effort to reward his efforts, he won't comment on his
tips, but I think we took care of him. He promises to be there next
year, and we are invited back. His boss (a lady) once again made the
Charlie's Angels comment. The closure of the "O" restroom and an old
midwestern lady in the restroom caused a restroom incident, but we
didn't have any issues with the hotel staff on the incident. (Sorry
Tina)

Friday Night, after succuming to some unspecified pressure to attend
Stephen David's club and the Micheal Ceglie show, I was pleased with
the club and Stephen David's show, the Band of Usual Suspects (they
were good). I was glad I went, the food was better than average not
overpriced and I had a great time. As for Micheal Ceglie, one set
would have been fine and another jazz set would have been better.
Entertainer of the year possibly Stephen David. (or the Low Martinez
Revue). Very classy place. We need to visit again.

Zingers, nice place, a little tight, air was smoky but okay with the
doors open. The entertainment was great. Drinks good. Service okay+,
much classier place than in previous years. We need to visit again.
Good crowd of just people, not gay people, not just T's. I liked it.

Saturday, I had to do boymode and do a Hummer run, Michele (NZ) and
Susan went with me. Great day, a little long. We had an awesome
dinner at Smith and Wollensky with Ginger and Kaye. (Thanks for
putting up with Rick). I heard some really bad issues concerning
Carlucci's but I wasn't there, so I won't comment more.

Sunday, I parted company with my roomies, and went to teach a class for
the Hummer Club. The saddest part of the trip (not the class dummy,
the parting with my roomies!)

This year had a unique feature (and I do mean feature), I got to hang
out with all of my usual friends Especially Aiko, Yvonne, Michele,
Ginger, Tootsye, Annie, Tony (da Man!), Densie, etc. oh hell,
everybody... but the special feature was Susan and Kaye, the spouses of
Michele and Ginger. Wow, what great ladies. You two will hold a
special place in my heart for a long, long time.

My thanks to Michele and Susan for helping me be able to attend this
year by sharing some space in the condo with me.

And as always, Thanks Annie for making it happen.

I love you all,

Gina
