Good morning pretty lady

It seems as though you are up bright and early this morning! I hope that you are having a great time already!

I am working most of the day today, and then heading to the airport! I'll see many of you after the Meet N Greet!

**Tommi** · 10-08-2009, 09:59 AM

Where the hell is the Diamond Lounge, where the Meet N greet & Slut Night are being held?

What was the Diamond Lounge downstairs is now called the Seasons..

Hey Tommi... I quoted the info from Christine above where the Diamond Lounge is. I couldn't find it on my map of the property either... but Perabo found it. Let me go see if I can find it again.

**PinkieLee** · 10-08-2009, 10:41 AM

Here is a property map....

http://www.ballyslasvegas.com/images...map_100808.pdf

It looks like it's right next to el Dente on one side, and the other side by the walkway to Paris. It might have two entrances... I don't know.

I hope this helps!

**girllikeu2** · 10-12-2009, 10:51 PM

So amazingly great to meet everyone! I wish I'd had more time to just hang out with everyone but I had an ABSOLUTE blast!

I love that I've gotten to know people I've never actually interacted with on the site and I adored EVERYONE of my lovely femme sisters and dashing butch buddies I got to meet

**Strappin** · 10-13-2009, 12:00 AM

BASH 2009....

Thanks to all the people who took the time to coordinate all the events and everything else involved.

I had a BLAST... I can't even explain it.

BASH VIRGIN .... NO MORE!!!

The time has finally arrived for 2009 BF Bash!!!! A HUGE thank you to Gigi, who helped me secure this year's venue. This year we were looking for a place that would be fun, exciting but most importantly AFFORDABLE. Times are tough for everybody and we wanted to be sensitive to that. However, even in tough times we should always make some time for family, fun and frivolity! Gigi came through for us by not only securing an affordable location, but one right smack dab in the middle of the strip. Whoot! Whoot! Thank you Gigi!

This year the BF Bash will be hosted at Bally's Las Vegas. We are still working out the details for some of the off-site venues but all contracts should be signed by the end of April. This year the Bash will be held over Columbus Day Weekend October 8th-11th so mark your calendars. This is the EIGHTH year that the Bash has been going on and going strong. There is really no way to describe that weekend except that it will change your life. Every year, for me, has always been amazing. I leave the Bash and all the wonderful people refreshed and renewed. Gigi has secured us rates of $69.00 Sun-Thur and $109.00 Fri-Sat, so come early and stay late!

The Meet n' Greet will be held in the beautiful Diamond Lounge and the Grand Ball in the Skyview Ballroom both in Bally's. The Skyview Ballroom sits atop Bally's with sweeping vistas of the Las Vegas Strip. The Slut Night venue is still in negotiations but it is looking to be quite an exciting space! DJ Olga T and DJ Luna will be joining us in Las Vegas to spin for Slut Night and the Grand Ball, respectively. We will be having our Pre-Slut Night dinners and Saturday Excursions. On Sunday is brunch and Karaoke before we all head our seperate ways.

I have asked the hotel to please put us all in the same tower if possible so we are sure to run into each other for days and nights of decadent fun. Early Registration is now open by clicking here! If you are interested in volunteering to help with the Bash please send me a PM. I am sure our Bash Chairs will welcome the help! This event takes a village to produce. I am forever grateful to all the Bash Chairs, past and present that have helped this event grow and flourish.

And with that I say Yeeee Haw! (you can't take the Texan out of me even though I am living in Cali). We will see you in October!

Peace,

What could be better than an intimate time with my

family. Knowing that 2010 planning is already in our heads...What color shall we wear. We had 21 "pieces" according to the Bellman..EEEKkkk.and she whispers, they were mostly yours..

Thank you Miz Chris & Olga. I know the hard work and behind the scene planning, hair pulling and stressing that goes on for an event of this kind..You are a great team.

Sherrie and I had a wonderful time. To the 2009 BASH Virgins, You have been "popped" and next year YOU become the new exciting welcoming committee for the next round of BASH Virgins 2010. Try to welcome them all, make sure we get to know everyone.

Sad to see 2009

over so soon, but already looking forward to 2010 on the East Coast..

Put up or shut up..Volunteering to make name tags for next year. Stick on, Clip on, pin, on , lanyard. whatever.

I vote Buttoniers for butches and Corsage's for femmes - each with a name tag clip on - I mean name tags are so ugh at least if we have pretty flowers *snicker*

**CurlyRedHead** · 10-13-2009, 02:09 PM

I am now back in Dallas, I arrived late last night. I already miss Vegas and the great people I met there. I look forward to seeing everyone I met in the near future. These memories will last a lifetime. Kudos to Miz Chris and others that helped put together events during the weekend job well done! I appreciate the support I had from others in trying to find a roommate for me. My original roommate wasn't able to come but everything worked out in the end. I hope everyone made it home safely, and is able to recover fast! Looking forward to the photos from the bash!
