I will not be able to attend dinner tonight after all. My elderly mother took a bad fall and broke her leg. She is still hospitalized & very confused. I'm sorry to miss dinner but I will be there on Saturday, June 26th around 5:30 p.m. for an Awful, Awful with SFOTerry. Enjoy your dinner tonight!

I can't either... a DL snafu in ATL meant I drove all night (23:45 to 07:45) from SLC to RNO... I am pretty tired since I started the day in PRG and it is now late afternoon in RNO and I have not really had a proper sleep.

Guess I should have taken a last-minute head count before moseying downtown. I parked at Harrah's and won $20 on the 25 slots before jaywalking across Virginia St. to The Nugget. Grabbed a table for four closest to the entrance into the counter and grill area, and slapped my FlyerTalk luggage tag on the edge of the table for easy identification. Ordered the first Awful Awful I've had since before Y2K along with a Diet Coke. Enjoyed my half-pound burger and pound of fries, feeling much like I do when I'm on the road and dining alone.
Well, with the win at Harrah's, after paying for my dinner, I'm still $11 and change ahead. Sorry I didn't get to meet any fellow FlyerTalkers, but no harm, no foul. I hope you get a better turnout next week, although I'll be in Las Vegas.

Well, maybe some of us can meet with me and SFOMo at the Lil' Nugget on Sat. June 26th. 
5:30pm? We have to be back on the bus to SF at 6:30.
PS - congrats to BL1KITW on the big score! ^

OK, due to lack of popular demand, we will not make an appearance at the Lil' Nugget tomorrow, in lieu of more support for the local economy. 
Hope to see y'all another time.

For everyone who missed the Awful Awful Do, here's a chance to attend an Awful Awful Throwdown at John Ascuaga's Nugget on Friday, July 2. Sorry, I won't be in town, but I already had my Awful Awful at the Do.
