The only time I had been in Reno was with my dad when I was around 17. Him, me, and my blue mohawk got kicked out of a few casinos because I was so young. We had a great time! I discarded my love of Volkswagen Beetles for a new-found love of the Lamborghini Countach I saw rotating in front of a casino.

My online forum friend was kind enough to let me tail him home for shower, laundry, and a great Thai dinner! Sometimes I greatly dislike all this technology cutting through daily relationships, but other times, it’s an amazing enhancement. I have found so many great communities online, but it’s only truly real when I get to meet folks in person.
