My thoughts about the BASH...

Been back one day in Costa Rica...first and foremost I want to thank Marty, Rick A., and Wil for all the contributions that made this BASH sucessful....although smaller than in previous years, everyone had a great time and I really got to meet some guys for the first time and was really impressed...

Bucsfan, it was a pleasure meeting you and hanging around the sportsbook...you have been around awhile at a few forums and everyone told me that we would hit it off...

Akilles and I had a great time hanging at the sportsbook and at Cheetahs...he is a class act and makes some interesting points about sports and the books themselves...

Gravy and I had a great time betting the ponies...he has really great knowledge about racing and it helped that we listened to each other's selections....would love to hang at any racetrack with him...

Fair Warning is the ultimate character that livens up any room you walk into...love his knowledge about Chicago sports...he gave us a Cub total over that was over after the second inning....things never get quiet with FW around...

Coach LT and his Florida buddies were in the house with their non-stop stories about the Gators...I consider Coach a great friend....

Never get tired of seeing Mr. Liesure at a BASH....class act! The same with Quantemleap, I hope you come to Thailand at the end of the year and hang out...thanks for the comped lap dance...

Porno Paul and Mary were absolutely a pleasure to see...they deserve each other and it was fun playing poker at the same table....Very rare that you see a couple together that are really into each other....

Glad to hear that Patsfan was happy with his Pinny account...he is a very astute gambler that does well...

Dante is the backbone of all BASHES, the son of a bitch has never missed one...always has a good word for everyone...if you can't get along with Dante, you really have a problem...too bad he couldn't find the Hawaiian chick at Cheetahs...

And to all you guys that I met for the first time, it was a pleasure....some of you guys actually opened up my mind talking about sportsbook issues...

Wilhiem...pat yourself on the back...your tireless devotion to the RX is commendable....the 2009 BASH was a huge success...THANK YOU!!

I almost forgot to mention Kermit...he is a walking encyclopedia of sports and betting sports....the young posters can learn a great deal from him....

How could I forget Betallsports and his lovely wife....Mike and I have become good friends in the past couple of years...I hope the both of you get to visit Thailand while I am there...but I am glad that Mike didn't win the poker tournament, he would have never let me hear the end of it...

Viejo its not a bash unless I see you everytime you are awesome man and can pick horses your unreal with the exactas thanks for 5 exacta's in a row and thanks for being a friend

I had a chance to talk with Mike's wife at the Mirage pool. She is the most down-to-earth person you could ever meet. It was almost like she and I were long-lost friends. She even came up to me at the Bash and said hi. I wish I had more time to talk with her at the Bash.

Mike fits in with anyone. He and I are about the same age so it's nice to have someone to relate to from our time. He and I talked about the things we did growing up in such a great time.

VIEJO, I am honored that you consider me a friend. I promise you that I feel the same way. Us "MATURE and Wise gentlemen need to stick together.:toast: LT

Thanks QL, We had a great time with you as well. And are Always Welcomed at the Mirage when we are Both in Vegas.
And, I Still owe you a Dinner !

Viejo, thanks for the horse picks at the book! I think I pocketed around a C-note from those plays!!

Love,

The Black Cat!!

VD,
My only regret from this year's Bash was that I didn't get to spend more time hanging with you and your group ! You are one of the really Class acts in this great RX family and I can't wait until We hook up again. Cheetah's was fun for this Strip club rookie ! :toast:
