Most of us traveled a very long way to get to Las Vegas. The first day of the symposium started early, way before jet lag disappeared. By the end of the day, everyone really let their hair down. Some of us went to the buffet in the hotel... not a great choice for food, but the company was great! Afterwards some of us moved to Judy Cooke's Hall of Mirrors and the Biggest Bathtub I've ever seen! Naturally, in the absence of fuzzbutts, we had to act a little crazy ourselves: http://homepage.mac.com/helenmclean/ferrets_2002/day1/ I remember almost everyone's name, but if I forgot yours or got yours wrong, let me know and I'll update it.
