I know I'm going to have a blast and I'll probably have toomuchfun at the auction as well. Man oh man, you're taking quite the risk having the auction The Same Day as a Trade Session! Where are the nearest restrooms BTW and uh, oh yeah, will there be drinkys? Hmm? How come there aren't any chips for $5, is this a deal for typical rich guys? Why is this being held at the Riviera? For all the folks that put this thing together and donated the goods, just you wait!!!!! The mopes from the Gang of 27 will be along shortly to call you all a name.

Naw, seriously, this is another Convention good-time moment and even if you don't plan on bidding, show up anyway and spend some time with your chipping friends. If you win a lot or two, don't give into bewilderment too easily, you will get your prize so just relax. The invoice will arrive and upon remittance, your pretty will be shipped. It's in the eight pages of regulation, conditions, terms, code and windage charts at the front of the catalogue. Just be aware that no man, woman, voluteer, "clicker", or duly sworn deputized Master of Their Domain will let you, under any circumstace, gaze upon your lawfully won do-hickey for the duration of the remaining convention. No way, no how. Not to worry, it certainly enhances the swoon factor when your baby arrives in your mailbox. Just part of the tradition.

This is gonna be fun again! Where else can you get this kind of anxiety for $30 a year?
