Simon took several. I'm sure he'll post when he can. He had to work today the poor bastard.
Other members took some too. We were just short of closing down the bar, so everyone is no doubt a bit tired today.
I will say that a good time was had by all. We met at The Pub and had drinks. Then we had appetizers and drinks. Then we had dinner and drinks. After dinner we went to Lafayette's to listen to the band and have more drinks.
The company was very pleasurable and the conversation was very interesting. 01-10-2016 02:58 PMstroppygoblinA HUGE thank you to everyone that turned up, it was really great to see both Brian and Ken again and also to meet up with members I hadn't met before. A thoroughly enjoyable evening, despite being jet lagged from almost circumnavigating the globe over the last 2 days...
Special thanks to Brian for being my US postal service and Im glad I got the opportunity to return the favour. (dont forget to send me the address!). Here are the photos I took:

Thanks for posting the pics. 01-10-2016 04:14 PMMerlin1958:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: 01-10-2016 04:28 PMbdwyer19Glad you all had a great time! 01-10-2016 04:47 PMEXPLORERWhen you move from sharing posts or messages in forums online to sharing time and tales with some very interesting and fun people who have familiar interests always provides for a fabulous experience.
Last night was one of those experiences with great individuals who could relate to our collecting obsessions way more understanding than many we know who just look at us as "strange" when we talk of King.
We were glad to finally meet a few new people face to face and always enjoy the others we have shared time with before....
Yes it was a great time with a great group! 01-11-2016 11:08 AMThe Library PolicemanLooking good guys & gals!
Glad you all had a great evening. 01-11-2016 12:43 PMwolfehrGreat pictures, thanks for sharing! Great to hear good times were had by all in attendance! The only down side is now I extra wish I could have made it :( 01-11-2016 12:45 PMstroppygoblinNot sure when I will be back in Florida, but I'll be in Las Vegas around 6th June!! 01-11-2016 12:46 PMzeligGood to know.

I recall from another thread that quite a few people like the idea of a Vegas meet up. 01-12-2016 06:17 PMzeligI'm in too. A good excuse to get out of town. 01-13-2016 12:26 AMPatrickI like the Vegas idea. Timing is my only concern. I'll stay tuned. 01-13-2016 10:18 AMThe Library PolicemanIf I can wangle this from my end, I'm going to go for it. I'm due a wee trip stateside and it would be great to meet you guys. 01-13-2016 10:20 AMzelig 01-13-2016 01:01 PMRandall FlaggWe need a firm date(s), and then I will start a Las Vegas dedicated thread.
June 6th is a Monday.
