I don't mind working on the planning part, and Thinker being such a sweetheart would probably help (no pressure! LOL)

RedFlag, I'm sorry that time frame doesn't work for you The problem before that is August is the big Reunion bash, and people have a tough time making too many travel plans close together. For me, personally, September is an insanely busy month, so that's out, and anything sooner is going to conflict with plans I already have, or just be too close to other travel plans. Do you work weekends? What is the absolute last day you can take vacation? Maybe late Oct would work for everyone?

RE: big series tournaments -- I don't know of any, and this is typically too soon for casinos to post them. There are plenty of daily tournaments with buy ins anywhere from $25 (I don't recommend those) to $250+. I like to play at the morning tournament at Caesars ... $65 buy in, usually about 4 to 5 tables, and Harrah's has decent daily tourny's as well $60 - $120 buy in. I really want to play at Binions my next trip! I said I would the last 2 trips but didn't. There are so many places to play, it's hard to choose! Thinker can chime in on this as well!

I'll take a look at my schedule and post some suggested dates here - I hope we can make this happens, it would be so fun!
