It seems that events of this type are always held east of the 
Mississippi.  Can't you Easterners put on your spurs, load your Uzis and 
head out to the Wild West for once?  Our Indians are now fairly tame, 
and rarely take scalps or burn wagon trains, and the roads are paved all 
the way to the Pacific Ocean.

I have a friend who is the vice president of a major casino chain, and I 
can offer hotel rates that will more than offset any potential increase 
in gas prices, and excellent food that will even suit those who are on a 
budget.

We have miles of twisty roads to enjoy that go up into alpine scenery 
that most people never believe would exist in the desert. Parking lots 
are safe all night long, with no danger of cars being stolen or broken 
into.  For that matter, the streets are safe all night long if a wife 
needs to walk Poopsie at 0300.

There is a beautiful city park that is perfect for a show & shine and 
BBQ, provided someone with muscle would be willing to load my two big 
BBQs in the back of my truck.  A large lake is available 15 miles out of 
town that would also be a great spot for a BBQ, and have the addition of 
water for those who can't wait to see Brad in a Speedo and me in a bikini.

I have just about any tool needed for those who might want to do repairs 
while here, and the local NAPA dealer gives me a great discount and can 
overnight just about anything in.
