While many of you were enjoying the Convention in Vegas, some of the rest of us put together a little consolation plan.

Thanks to the efforts of Von McKenzie, us folks not in Vegas had a nice "I'm not in Vegas" session. We started with posting (some) traders and then followed up by posting (some) wants . Von graciously sprinkled in a few contest drawings.

In the future, if I am unable to attend the convention (hopefully not very often), I will help assure that this idea gets re-visited (without stepping on Von's toes). If I happen to be among the fortunate at the convention, I would encourage someone else to do the same as it was both enjoyable and fruitful.

If you want a look at what was posted, simple look back in the chipboard "Online..." posts starting on the morning of 06/27.

Here are some of the nicer chips I received as a result of the "Online Trade Sessions". Thanks to all that participated - particularly Von!
