Jeliz, there were also places where some of the certificates were out of order, so you could have very well been 1,000!

We sat at the same breakfast table the first morning of the FAC.

No way! There's always the annual meeting next month and every year thereafter. I'll meet-up at something that's impossible to "fail".

Most everyone went to the Lobby. The people I was with (one of which was kel and her hubby) asked the front desk at the hotel to call and see what time they closed. It sounded like 1 am, and it was already close to that, so we walked around the corner to Firkin's pub.

Congratulations qqpp! What an accomplishment for you.

(I think everyone from the FAC can probably figure out who you are given your location in your AO profile.)

we ended at the lobby. Woohoo and his fiancée bailed as it was a little too posh for them. Leia, I, and one other madeir through 1 drinkbefore deciding the same thing and headed to the pub nextdoor that closed at 2:30ish. Where did you guys end up?

I wouldn't say posh. I would say it was too hot in there and the music was too loud.. (does that mean i am getting old) ...Damn.. you guys went to the pub next door..

Yeah, I thought it was a McDonalds. Some of the people brought their own car and mentioned that there was a pub right next door because they walked right by it.
