    Mike, thank you for your support. Now let the truth be told. I had to scramble for rooms as this show is huge. One of the hotel chains had a Gun Show Special for only $59 a night per room plus taxes. That was not good enough for one member of the party. Another hotel had a Gun Show Special for $107 per room per night. That too was not good enough despite the fact that this hotel had a spa, swimming pool, night club, etc. Sooooooo, I had to book the rooms (2 rooms, 2 beds per room there dogboysdad)at the hotel that this un-named person insisted on for $150 per night per room plus taxes. One catch-the rooms were not cancelable. Then 2 members of our party cancel, including the fussy one that later changed his mind after I managed to make up some bullshit story and got a refund on the second room. Now the hotel advertises that they can provide a cot because "el fusspot" was not sleeping butt to nut with anyone. The hotel gives us some BS story that fire codes don't allow cots. Tim and I offered to share a bed and give the little flower his own but he played the martyr and slept on the floor. There you have it. I love the guy anyway though.
    When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

    I feel a little dirty defending Stu here but I have to. Everything Stu said here is 100% correct. Sean, you are a petite sophisticate. I have to go shower now.

    Actually, this is not 100% true. Two people didn't cancel. The trip was cancelled. Later, after much shenanigans and marriage counseling, it was somehow resurrected. At that point, only the wealthy, the unemployed, and the government worker with 12 weeks of vacation time could attend. I hope that sets the record straight.

    It does not. One person in particular committed again, then bailed. If the wealthy would have went, that would mean you were there.
