I dunno Squids... I think I'm at the point in life whereby I look MUCH MUCH better with clothes on... I'm mad at Raags. This whole trip she's been saying she brought these big dots for my butt... I keep asking her to put them on for me... but nothing ... So disappointed... I mean I can see myself saying to my female friends here, "Hey could you check that my dots are on properly?... Are you sure they are sticking right?" ...I'm flying home tomorrow morning... won't be here for the last day... Gotta go to that damn day job Monday... you know... the one that actually results in a check... Casey

Finally got to a pc so I could catch up. What a great time meeting you all! I will be back again tomorrow for some more sessions. But man, I'm beat! I got home to OC last night around 1AM. Was kind of draggin' today. I had to go home a bit early today, lest I fall asleep at the wheel. Of course, I got a second wind about halfway home and wished I would have stayed for the open mic!Oh well, I'll be back tomorrow for some more. Hopefully most of you will still be there. Casey, I hardly had a chance to talk to you. Have a great trip home.Rich

I'm wide awake, it's about 1:50am L.A. time. This is my first rally, and I gotta say, I am SO GLAD that I decided to come. It wasn't easy financially, but I KNOW that the investment is going to pay off. Heck, to me, it already has just from the networking I've been able to do, but more importantly, from the relationships I've been able to foster. I joined TAXI in January of this year and I've been somewhat active on the forums, for the most part, since I joined. I've enjoyed getting to know people on the boards, but being able to be here with them, in person, and hear their voice, and shake their hands, share a drink with them, well, that my friends has been one of the most enjoyable parts, building relationships with each other. Everyone makes you feel like family, it's a great feeling.- Big Blue

Well, it's 2:45 AM here and I am flying home in the morning. I should have gone to bed hours ago but it was hard to leave while there were still dots hanging out downstairs... So I hope I get some sleep on the plane! Oh, and Raags dotted me ... I feel much better.... Photos will be posted...It was a lot of fun! I wish I didn't have to go to work on Monday... Casey

Damn Casey, sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you. I have my girlfriend with me, and we're not staying at the Westin, so after classes end I haven't been hanging around too much. Had a couple of drinks with Warren last night... making plans for our first co-write... but that's another story.See you next year I hope!Cam
