I'm with Pete - Had to work way too early in the AM ! But then again - take a look at the gang in the photo - spells trouble to me !
Come to think of it, how did this come about ?

The WMS is always a hit on my list. I get to meet many of my old friends and manage to make new ones. This year the first on my list was Michael Taggert and Scooter. Also got to meet and talk a bit with Magic Jess, a newbie here on the Café.
In all of the reviews so far, no one has mentioned Soler. A strange and bizarre act but his head decapitation looked awesome to me. He was also headlining at the World's Greatest Magic show over in the Greek Isles along with Kevin James and Kozak. Dinner with the stars was a nice addition to the convention and I hear it's going to be repeated next year. I agree with Photius about the Harry Anderson show being overcrowded. Part of the problem was that the front of the room was taken up with tables rather than just chairs. Rich Bloch arrange to have the center section of the room roped off and reserved for those of us coming from the dinner but it was still very cramped and not everyone got into those areas because of the overcrowding. Pepka, your hives have nothing to do with the Orleans. It's you punishment for harassing Pete I do agree with you about the 30th anniversary. I too thought that there would be something a little more spectacular for that milestone. I don't know what it would be but I was a little disappointed. Sorry I introduced you as John. I know that isn't right. I guess as long as I don't call you late for dinner it's OK The downside to the weekend was the overcrowding in Vegas itself. The NBA playoffs brought in 250,000 people and getting around downtown was impossible. That weekend is also the fashion convention called Magic. Both of those combined with ours was a disaster. It was good to hear that next year, WMS will be the last week in April. Overall, another great WMS. I'm already looking forward to next year.

The highights for me were meeting Seigfried, Lance Burton, Jeff McBride, Criss Angel, etc.,meeting with old friends, making new friends, and "Castle Burton". But the biggest highlight for me was the teen weekend (as always). The weekend was amazing. It was so much fun getting to learn from such pros as Jeff McBride, Eugene Burger, Scott Hitchcock,Jordin Wright,Danny Orleans, Joanie Spina, and Criss Angel (He was at Burtons house). I would also like to take a second and thank Bill and Becki Wells for putting on such an amazing teen weekend. I have attended the weekend the past four years and it has always been an experience I will never forget, especially this year.How many people can honestly say they have been to Lance Burtons house? Not to many.... but I can. So Thank You Bill and Becki!!! I can't wait till the next WMS!!! Neil Croswell P.S Criss Angel has the nicest car I have ever seen. It's a Lambourgini... what more can I say? LOL |

I enjoyed Greg Kennedy's act and, I've never been a big fan of juggling. (No disrespect to jugglers) but, he was great. I can live with the "Black Out" call to the Stage Manager.
The convention was great. I met a couple of new friends and look forward to seeing them again. I felt sorry for the Orleans staff with the NBA fans in town. I'm glad that the WMS is in April next year. See Ya all Next Year. Bill

By the way, one thing I've learned in attending WMS is that Pete Biro is much better looking IRL than he is in his avatar.

Interesting altho off subject... re the crowding etc. in Las Vegas due to the NBA/Rapper crowd... I got a nice letter of apology today from Southwest Airlines, stating how difficult it was handling the crowds, etc. What happened hundreds, if not thousands of idiots WITHOUT RESERVATIONS stormed the airport TRYING to get flights... which screwed up the lines, etc. and so many people with reservations couldn't get into the terminals on time, and missed flights.
It wasn't so bad on Thursday when I left, but on Tuesday, when my wife had to fly home my phone rang, she called from outside the terminal, saying, "I don't know what to do... I'm a block away in line and they say it will be three hours before we can get in and through security, and my flight leaves in an hour?" I told her (ole experienced traveller, me) PRETEND you are a VIP, just take your bag, go to the head of the line, smile and butt in and go straight to the security with you bag. When you get to the gate, they'll gate check it. Next call I got she was just boarding the flight... no trouble except they took here new tube of toothpaste away. She said there were lots of empty seats due to folks being stuck outside unable to get into the terminal.
