IT’S PARTY TIME: THE TO THE POINT VEGAS RENDEZVOUS

When the going gets tough, as it got excruciatingly so on November 7^th, the tough have a party. 

You may recall that's a line from a famous movie.  But it won't be a Toga Party as John Belushi had in Animal House (the smooth seduction character of "Otter" in the movie, by the way, was based on my Sigma Nu fraternity brother at UCLA, Steve Deming). 

It will be what the Mountain Men of the Old West called their gatherings:  a Rendezvous.  And what better place to have it in than Las Vegas?

Here's how it's going to work.  The dates are:  Friday ,January 26th   through Monday, January 29th.  The cost is:  your personal expenses only.  This is Dutch Treat.  Everyone pays their own way – me too.  No conference fees.

Everyone gets their own hotel room – there's a million to choose from in Vegas with a very wide price range.  I will organize a number of daytime activities – outdoor stuff like rappelling down slot canyons in Zion National Park, and hiking in the Valley of Fire or Red Rock Canyon.  Folks can come or stay indoors and play the tables – but I'll be outside. 

At the end of the day, we'll gather for drinks, dinner, and conversation.  Folks can catch whatever shows they want.  I'll be around for as long as anyone wants to talk with me about whatever they want to talk about.

And so will Dr. Joel Wade and other TTP contributors.

We're going to have a great time together.  I am really looking forward to meeting as many of you who can come.  We'll plot, conspire, and solve all of America's and the world's problems.  (Well, maybe not all of them, but we can try…)

But best of all, we can get to know each other.  That's what I'm most looking forward to.  So I hope you can join us for the TTP Vegas Rendezvous!
