After a three-year gap, the Pasadena City College Swap Meet has resumed. I guessed that there might be 3 years' worth of saved-up chips to look at. There weren't quite that many but it was a fun afternoon anyway.

Bolo ties! We need as a ChipGuide subject, "Bolo Ties." I didn't know there were any such casino items til I saw this neat string tie from The Mint, apparently unused. Someone must have gone in and realized that he lacked a tie and got on from the gift shop. Unless you could win a tie as a slot machine jackpot.

Just heard someone order me "Off the property immediately or you will be arrested!" But it turns out the cops came by on patrol and caught some skateboarders inside the school yard. Gasp! So I guess I can stay to finish this message. Life in Sun Valley.

Anyone know what Club Grande at Harrah's Laughlin was? And just what is Event IX? Something involving Space Aliens, I have no doubt.

Also, if anyone can identify the EL chip with L's mold, I'd be grateful. It was with some El Rancho Vegas chips but I don't think there is a connection between the two. Kinda think someone was just taking a few chips, in alphabetical order, out of an album to sell.
