16 June: Getting Started
|
|
|
| This is just some of the beer received for Pro-Brewers Night and Club Night. We had to ask the Riv for more walk-in cooler space to get everything put away. | Get your badge, your four commemorative brews, and other related swag here. | The famous Las Vegas sign gets retooled for the convention. |
16 June: Pre-Con Event
|
|
|
| Waiting for the bus to arrive to head to UNLV. | The Stan Fulton Building, home of the International Gaming Institute. | A pretty good-sized crowd...and this was before the second busload of people. |

|
| How about some live Latin music to go with your food and drink? | One of the serving lines...this one had the main-course items, including wild rice & raspberry quail with a Märzen-and-wild-mushroom sauce, Jägerschnitzel with a Märzen-and-mushroom sauce and Spätzle, and pan-seared red snapper with a sauce containing sun-dried tomatoes, butter, king crab, and Doppelbock. | Chowing down at the "SNAFU table" (hey, it just worked out that way). |

|
| Here are the rowdies from Harvest Moon. :-) They look innocent enough now, but wait until later... | Something's afoot at the next table over... | This was the start of what turned into a "contest" to flick dinner mints into a cup. I probably shouldn't rag on them too much about the rowdiness, given that your humble correspondent hit the target at least three times. There was a good-sized crowd gathered around at one point. |
