    Hey Jen!! I'll be in Vegas June 2nd-6th. Hopefully we can at least have a drink together. Seems like you're having a great time already!

    Freesia! Great to hear from you!! Drinks, absolutely! And yes, I'm fitting right in. Just have to get used to the time difference...last night I didn't get home till 3 a.m.

    Jen, congrats on a successful move! May your poker winnings (and writing time) grow for you over the next few months -- I hope you are as hot at the tables as the rising summer temps! Maybe we'll be able to chat through something other than Gmail when I hit the strip June 8-12 :-) Good luck and enjoy Vegas!
