Wow, it's been a while since I've met strangers from the internet  :lol:

I was trying to remember the official forum meets from the past. I know I organized the photo shoot from the top floors of FNB, I think it was projectman who got us to the top floor of the new UP building, we met to listen to Hal Daub at Spaghetti Works, we met for a few condo tours... There are many on here who are connected through Facebook... So there are not as many internet strangers on here.

Borgata's is a few weeks away from opening - provided they get that liquor license.

I'll be in Utah for chunks of January (not sure on exact dates yet), but if I'm in town I'd be interested.

I would be game again. I haven't been to one since the one at UP And I think we did a Creighton game once.
My son got a 27 on his ACT. No this score is not as high as what Jeff's son achieved. But one has to remember the paternal gene-pool my son has to overcome. On a PGPAB [Paternal Gene-Pool Adjusted Basis], my son's score is a 37 and Jeff's son's PGPAB ACT score is 19.

I'd be down with that, as long as you promise I won't wake up in a bathtub full of ice with missing kidneys.

OK, we have a few interested people so far. Coyote said he would organize this so RSVP to Coyote by PM. He is talking with the people at Borgata, and people have suggested a few DTO tours before hand. If we can get around 20 RSVPs by a few weeks this will be a go.

Cool. Just RSVP me.
I remember another unofficial eOmahaForums gathering where we stressed tested the Pedestrian Bridge. I can't remember who all was there. I'm sure we posted pics of that.

I just found out my employers holiday party is the same day... I trust the bulk of activities will be during the day?  I'll probably have to bow out before 7pm or so.

(and by the way guy, my youngest son got a much more mortal 31 ;)  as for my oldest, he's working on his ChemE PhD at Ann Arbor now)
