Back from yet another fun and fast Las Vegas trip and another awesome chip convention! Picked up more chips than what I had hoped to and will now start scanning my entire collection and begin building my own web site to showcase them... soon, I hope.

David Spragg, James Campiglia and Doug Saito all declined their beers that were owed to them. I tried...

My thanks to all those who donated their time, effort and energy (volunteers, club officers, BoD members, dealers*, family members, and fellow members) in making the 2011 Convention an enjoyable experience for everyone who attended the convention (new members, established members, those that are new to the hobby and for those who just wanted to see what the convention was about). You are the reason why this years' Convention was successful!

On a side note: *Dealers - there is one dealer for whom I shall not be dealing with ever again. You are one reason that adversely affects the chip collecting hobby and puts a bad taste in chip collectors' mouths. Selling a fake/reproduction (Boreland) chip as a real casino chip... enjoy it while you can!!!
