weekly




Dear Reader,

The clock is ticking away; it's almost time for the big Vegas trip, and this should be the biggest year yet. the Casino Affiliate Conference is just about sold out, and the Global Gaming Expo is claiming over 200 new speakers and more than 600 exhibitors. Wow.

And it's Vegas - the town that never sleeps. It's a great place for someone dealing with jet lag and a nine hour time difference; a fairly groovy place to be.

Anticipatingly yours,

Bryan

  • WORD FROM THE MEISTER
    I GOT BONED OUT OF THE OKTOBERFEST!
    You'd have to a real nitwit if you've never heard of the "Oktoberfest" which is held every year down in München (Munich for you non-German speakers). It's a three week long Bierfest full of tourists and over-priced Bavarian beer. Ask any German why it's called the "Oktoberfest" but held in September and not October, and their eyes will glaze over and they'll tell you the question never occurred to them, "It's alvays been dis vay," they'll say.

    Anyway, I spoke with Kevin of Reviewed Casinos a few weeks ago over the phone, and he told me that "a lot of the guys" were all heading down there on September 24th for a wild bash. I knew a good number of these "guys" and I knew it was going to be great. He said that I should meet them, and they would perhaps make arrangements for a room. Munich is about three hours by train from my place.

    This sounded great, and I imagined the fun, the beer, the debauchery and decadence that I knew these people were capable of. Well time passed by, and last Thursday I was exchanging emails with Kevin - and he asked me "when I was going to meet them on Friday". By the time I got around to answering, it WAS Friday. I asked which Friday he meant...and there was no answer. I called his phone...no answer. I emailed a couple of the people I knew were going...no answer. "Damn," I thought. "Did he mean this Friday? But I swore that he said the 24th.

    Well the weekend cruised by, and I caught a glimpse of the Munich parades on TV - the weather looked great and most of the Germans looked happily half-tanked, and I searched the faces in the crowd for some belligerent English speaking drunks. Alas - they weren't to be found.

    And this work-week kicked off on Monday, still no word from Kevin (like as if I had no phone). I plunged into my work and had nearly forgotten about this until Tuesday when Tim Whyles from Wagershare emailed me stating that he just got back. He had to extend his flight by a day because he was having so much fun, "my mouth still hurts from laughing so much" he dared to say, and then complained of a horrific hangover. I felt soooo sorry for him.

    So I got boned out of a good time. Kevin still hasn't responded to my emails, but I believe he's back. I've seen him lurking in my forum. You can't hide from me, dude - I know you're there.

    The Oktoberfest is still going on - it lasts for a couple more weeks. I asked my wife if I could go, but she said no. Thanks guys. Thanks a lot. But then again, my beer is way cheaper at home -- and much better tasting too.

    THIS WEEK'S HUMOR
    From the archives...

    A skinhead and his girlfriend were walking down Main Street when
    she spotted a beautiful diamond ring in a jewelry store window.
    "Wow, I'd sure love to have that!" she said.
    "No problem, baby," the skinhead said, throwing a brick through
    the glass and grabbing the ring.
    A few blocks later, his girlfriend was admiring a black leather
    jacket in another shop window. "What I'd give to own that!" she
    said.
    "Sure thing, darling," the skinhead said, throwing another brick
    through the window and snatching the coat.
    Finally, turning for home, they pass a Mercedes car dealership.
    "Boy, I'd do anything for one of those!" she said to her
    boyfriend.
    "Whoa, baby!" the skinhead cried. "Do you think I'm made of
    bricks or something!"

    Winner Screenshot Gallery

    Hi guys

    Inspired by the Winner Screenshots thread (and with the meister's blessing), i've set up a "Winner Screenshot Gallery" to keep a permanent record of the good wins everyone has. It'll build into a categorised directory and we've started it off with a few from me, JPM and a couple of other guys.

    I'd love for anyone to submit any decent screenshots for it as you go along. Just stop by here to send me a shot or just pop by and have a browse here.

    Any ideas for improvements also welcome.

    Cheers

    Simmo!
