Default Las Vegas Chapter meeting

Last week my wife and I vacationed in Las Vegas. We had the opportunity to meet up with members Chironex (Scot), Damaclese (Paul), and Aquadm (Donny) while there. We met at one of the casinos in North Las Vegas and had a few drinks and enjoyed dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Let me say that I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone and talking bananas and just plants in general! Hopefully on the next trip out we can get together to see actual plants. I will post a picture of the group as soon as possible.

Thanks for a great dinner, guys! It was great getting to meet all of you.

Hey, if there would be interest with others in this group I would be interested in having a "group meeting" where we could all have the chance to meet and get to know one another.

Here's a pic of the banana split that Scot ordered for dessert. It was so huge that about 7 of us shared it! The bananas were wrapped in a flour tortilla and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. It was great!

Looks like you guys had fun. Would one of you express mail me one of those banana splits? I always seem to get to these posts when I'm half starved.

Thanks Brent. That dessert, by the way, was only half sized! The other half was given to a special friend of mine who recommended it to me.
We had a blast, talked bananas and just enjoyed our evening together. Hopeful there will be at least one meeting per quarter. PM one of us if you will be in the Las Vegas area. We would love to get together with you banana lovers!

Dang. I had a massive hunger for some Mexican last week. I see I was in the wrong state. Grrr.

So, about this banana split...that looks yummy. Wonder if that is best with a dessert banana or a plantain. Hmmm.

Scot,

I see a resemblance between you and your avatar. Well, neck down anyway.

I no longer resemble my avatar. I look more like Peter from Family guy now. Except I wear a tie more than he does.
