I just returned from Kansas City where I attended my first meeting of the CC>CC,Inc. Mid-American chapter meeting. What a blast! I conducted my first chip trades, received answers to many nagging questions and, most importantly, met some great people who share my interests. It was well worth the four hour drive. After paying for all meals, gas and hotel, I returned with $300 more than I left with (thanks to Ameristar). I also came home with 20+ chips that I needed. Thanks, guys, for making me feel welcome. See you in Vegas!
