Yes, it's possible this event will be full, so get there early.
I plan to have lunch at Ocha Thai, 1201 Las Vegas Blvd., LV NV 89104, starting at 11:30 am.

It's at the north end of LV Blvd., next to the Super 8 Hotel.
Anyone who wants to join me for lunch there is welcome.
It's a short drive to the theatre along W. Charleston and be there by 12:30.
I heard that the live female nude model will answer questions while suspended on stage.
The sound of footsteps can already be heard running towards the theatre.
I thought this would be fun event to kick off DLV on an ordinary Sunday afternoon.
Best,
Dionne

...and to think that I flunked Art 101 in College.
Hope this does my Art teacher proud!
