Chris Sevick - did you make it onto QE @ Mohegan?

I finally got around to watching it on VHS - had to make room for Olympics (I'm feeling the limitations of VHS over TIVO, BIG TIME). I saw the Walker pit boss, and one guy on stick - was that you?

CRAZY how they had them running all over the place; evidently they don't know that a real bachelor would just want to throw dice, consume mass quantities of free drinks with friends, and see if he can get one more proposition before eternal marital prison? And WHO came up with the idea of the bride coming out of the cake at the bachelor party? Any dufuss would know something was up, because if it was anything GOOD, the QE cameras would have left the room!

Liked how the property looked on camera - they were smart to let QE film there, it was like a commercial for the property! I especially liked seeing the Chihuly:

-I'm guessing this pic was done during installation, the temporary wall is probably there because it would have been dangerous if the tower had collapsed; spraying glass fragments all over the place. Or, maybe they were still building-out everything inside around it?
"And what about the beautiful centerpiece, literally, that sits between the Casino of the Earth and the Casino of the Sky at the base of the escalator leading from the hotel? Dale Chihuly created the 10,000-pound masterpiece by using thousands of richly colored glass, 2,500 pieces were hand-blown, shipped separately and then assembled on-site. The sculpture measures 14 feet in width and stands a soaring 25 feet above visitors. This is the same man who’s work can be seen at the Louvre in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City."
