Good morning all, just got back from a week in Reno. I had rented a laptop to get quotes and keep up on everything, but I couldn't get it to work. So I hung out at the crap table instead. One of the MSFT whiz kids, shirt pulled out of the dryer, shorts, sandals, bearded and balding, 40ish was playing with $1,000 chips. At one time he had over $120,000 in chips in front of him. He helped develop Windows for MSFT. I played craps with with for two days--early morning until late night, however, I was playing $5.00 chips. I've made arrangements to play with him again at the Comdex and CES. I'm not the last of the big time spenders--I took $200 to play with, but I came home with $1300. I did much better at the tables than with my stock position last week.
Now I'm home and want to start organizing a breakfast meeting for the SHM. I'm thinking of the following format for the morning of the SHM: Breakfast at 9:30 followed by 2 or 3 10 minute speakers with questions and sharing to follow. I need the name of a restaurant or hotel to contact near the Escondido Center where the SHM will be held that could accomodate up to 100 of us. Please help me put this together.
