As you may already know Sheldon and Christine have fabricated some lame excuse about their granddaughter being in a play , and won’t be able to attend the gathering. So now with the parents out of the house, Rick and I will be hosting a fun get together . Actually we’ll all miss Christine and whatshisname , but I hope we have a big group, and everybody brings some traders. Rick and I usually get there early, so please feel free to come early, and stay late.

I am hoping to raise one issue for discussion, back in November we discussed doing a Chicagoland chippers chip, I am hoping to discuss that if we have a decent turnout. If any of you have any thoughts or questions, please feel free to contact me by email.

If you know you are going to be there, please let me know so Rick and I can have an idea of how many to expect. Everyone is welcome. I have decided to take offense at any regular Florida, AC, southern Nevada, or Ohio chippers who aren’t there, and to write long rambling emails on the subject.

I believe Sheldon has mentioned this, but while they are expecting us, they do ask that we not take out collectibles onto the boat. So you will need to return them to your car if you want to go gamble. You’ll want to come prepared to buy food and drinks, so we’ll be welcome back.

I will be at Harrah’s on Saturday afternoon and evening in case anybody wants to socialize then also. Looking forward to seeing all of you cool people this weekend.
