ALOHA SPLASHBAR BRIAN,
IT'LL BE HAWAIIAN PUNCH EXCITING TO SEE U AND ALL OF THE OTHER CHIPPERS AT THE SOUTH POINT BAR!!!
IT'LL BE SPECTACULAR TO SEE CIGARMAN DOUG, AT THE BAR! HE'S EASY TO SPOT, JUST LOOK FOR THE CHIPPER WITH THE BIGGEST STOGIE!!
ALL MY BAGS ARE PACKED FULL WITH MAC~NUTS AND CHIPS!! AND I'M NOT TALKING SPUDS!
I REMEMBER MY FIRST CONVENTION,,,,,,I WAS AN OAHU, HAWAII ISLAND ROOKIE.
I WALKED AROUND THE SHOW DEALERS ROOM LOOKING LIKE A DEER IN SHOCK AND AWE WITH HEAD LIGHTS BLINDING ME.
AS MY FERNLEY, NEVADA BEST CHIPPER FRIEND, CURT SQUIRES, SAID, "WE WERE ROOKIES" AT OUR FIRST CONVENTION, BUT NOW "WE AIN'T ROOKIES NO MOR!"
FOR ALL U WHO THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST CONVENTION, HERE ARE MY SUGGESTIONS:
*AFTER CHECKING IN AT THE SOUTH POINT, GET YOUR SOUTH POINT PLAYERS CARD. U'LL WANT IT TO RECEIVE THE GARDEN BUFFET DISCOUNTS.
*AFTER U GO TO YOUR HOTEL ROOM, UNPACK, AND FRESHEN UP,,,GO DOWN TO THE CASINO AREA AND WALK ALL AROUND. FIND OUT WHERE EVERYTHING IS.

THIS HELPED ME NOT TO STRESS OUT DESPERATELY THE FIRST DAY OF REGISTRATION.
*WHEN U ARE GETTING YOUR BADGE, PLEASE SAY, "THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING." TO THE REGISTRATION CREW.

*ON YOUR CELL, TAKE CELL PHOTOS OF THE DAILY EVENTS, SO U CAN REFER BACK TO THEM. THAT WAY U WILL NOT MISS ANYTHING.
