BARGE 2005 will be held between August 2 and August 7 at the Plaza Hotel and Casino.

BARGE is the Big August Rec.Gambling Excursion to Las Vegas. This is our annual venture out of cyberspace into the Real World in which we get together to meet our most favorite/notorious Usenet personalities face-to-face, participate in several BARGE-private events, and generally blow off steam (not hard to do in Las Vegas in August).
