I had the pleasure of meeting Gene for a light lunch while I was in Vegas at a small chili resturaunt off Tropicana. Gene not only took the time to meet with me and chat about chips but helped me a WHOLE LOT about finding my way around a town I didn't know quite well. Cicumstances beyond my control (Sept 11th) forced me to move from Vegas but one of the highlights of my short trip to Vegas was getting to meet Gene.
