Another ASA Play

[AtlUmpSteve]

Region 4 was well represented. Your NC representatives (Phil, BJ and Al) opted out from the extracurricular (although I did drink with Al one dinner).

And there were several of those checks to go around. Our checks did represent GA, AZ, DE, PA, MD, NE and TX, as best I recall.

I appreciate the good words. I consider myself very privileged to know them.

Except Al. He's a bit off. Just kidding, Al's a great guy!

I believe NM & DC may have also been at the table for at least one round.

Have no idea why the Great Northwest chose to not to share a beverage or two.

Yeah, we shared. We just didn't know where the f*k you were. We were typically in the bar across from the training rooms, or we retired to someone's room and sat around shooting the schitt and drinking crown.

Sorry we missed ya. Sounds like the umpire communication broke down.

No kidding. Mike posted here before the convention, as well as during, that we would be at Chisolm's, not the Bombay Club.

Actually, we did attend the Bombay Club Thursday night, since Chisolm's closed early. We stayed with Rod and the Alaska group pretty late that night. But Friday and Saturday we went to Chisolm's; we had an "arrangement" with the barkeep that was mutually advantageous.

In fact, it was so advantageous that AZBIGDOG drank MY BEER!!

5...4...3...2...1.....I expected Darrell to chime in by now.

And yes, when three people drink for nearly two hours for less than $10, it was very advantageous.

Hell??? You had two of the horniest fillies in the place fixated on you. You could have spent the whole weekend with those two and had all the good beer you wanted

The only thing would have had to do is figure out how to put on the spurs

True story. But, oh dear God. I have much more respect for Darrell drinking beer he considers swill than if he had even made eye contact with that readhead (let alone her companion).

Swill? It could have been A1 or Lucky Lager!!!!!!
I will vouch for the PNW/Region 15. They were still in shock because their hospitality was so much better than Region 14 and felt it was better to remain sequestered than to be out and about and -- for no obvious reason -- break into hysterics.

I think the PNW is scared of the rest of the country.......

We will not only out-drink you, we'll close the bar down and shut out the lights after you leave (once we find out where you are).



Our NUS is this weekend in Olympia - begins tonight. It sounds like we have a similiar deal with our bartenders already set up - $5 buy in to an open bar. 8 NUS instructors, plus KR showing up to "observe" how we continually and successfully pull off a NUS with over 200 attendees (I think last count we were at 210 or so..) He doesn't think it's possible to be successful (even though we proved the NUS wrong in 2006 with 276 attendees). It's gonna be a good time!

Well, if you were with us, that is exactly what happened at Chisholms Saturday night. They actually locked up, cleaned up around us and then we went to breakfast.

Trust me, you are dealing with professionals here. You wouldn't have a prayer.

While I'm sure it is good, I don't believe there is any way an umpire gets their money's worth at a school that big.

How many State schools are there in the Region?

The school was great. The final count was 212. And yes, they got their money's worth. That's because we know how to do it right. Didn't hear one complaint about anything other than the sub sandwiches delivered on Saturday for lunch ran out of condiment packets (mayo, mustard).

All of the states (WA, OR, ID, MT, AK) have state schools - except this year WA combined theirs into this NUS. The three metros hold their own schools as well. Seattle's is spread out over 4 2-hour days - one per month for four months.
