THANK YOU GERARDO!! Some times with the excitement and parties we all forget to say this and take it for granted that this wasn't easy to pull off seamless as it was with almost zero issues.

I'd like to preregister for next next year lol I'm already picking out bottles and ready for suggestions on what to bring for next year

Nice to see everyone

It was a joke, no ill will meant.

Fwiw I'm married and agree with him.

Chad and I just joke around. That said if I offended him or you I apologize.

No need to call me a dummy though...

It wasn't a cheap shot. Just me and Eliot joking around. Married guys poke fun at single guys and vice versa.

The real party is down on Fremont street. Tommy jr was offered a bump of Coke in the men's room. Yeah, we caught an uber and got out of there after that.

*T*H*E*****2017***T*R*F***WIS-CON**thread***

I really enjoyed the "WIS-CON" Las Vegas International GTG 2017 and 2016 GTG the year before but I am seriously thinking about going to the "NOT in Las Vegas 2018 GTG!!! WIS-CON '18 next year. I hear it is going to be off the hook next year!

You all are a serious bunch of watch addicts, I wouldn't miss it! G, Count me in for 2018!

I hear the "NOT In Las Vegas GTG" is being rebranded "KNOT in Las Vegas GTG" and the festivities will be centered around a mass wedding.

....they're still looking for someone as ceremony officiant (preferably fluent in Swedish)

That sounds awesome, but I'm going to Vegas and unless there is a WIS-CON in Wisconsin. Not likely unless it's in my basement

Early fall is nice, after mosquitoes but before snow. We could fit 17 or so, but only one guest bedroom
