I would love to do Denver this summer, too. I'll keep my fingers crossed that a host will miraculously come forward and revitalize the official SJ annual outing.

I can't find a 2012 outing thread. Will there be an attempt to organize an official outing this summer?

Stumbled upon this picture while transferring some files from my external hard drive to my new laptop today. I think it's a sign.

Hebrew National is tough to top.

I thought all hope for this went out the window when I bought All-Star tickets last week, but I may actually be able to swing something crazy. I'm looking at coming in on the red-eye for Saturday's game and returning back west late Saturday night. Sorry that doesn't help anybody out as far as...

Not necessarily in this order, but off the top of my head:

Pancamo, while Mustang is correct that many of the Vegas Restaurant.com offerings are off-strip, there are plenty of stellar options on the strip if you search the site hard enough. The three aforementioned restaurants where we enjoyed some of the best dinners of our young lives are Valentino...

Re: the food deals Peytons place originally inquired about when starting this thread a year ago: I searched all 21 pages and couldn't find any reference to Restaurant.com. Maybe it's just such common knowledge these days that nobody needed to mention it? For those who may be unfamiliar...

Dear Matt, Don't I wish. Unfortunately, the only kind of football in the country I now call home doesn't involve pads or end zones. Dear Wicked, Life's great. Plus, the temperature is finally starting to climb above freezing most days. Hope all is well with you, too. I'd love to start a new...

I hope this makes you feel better or at least gives you an idea of how good you really have it in the States relative to other parts of the world... I paid 13.1 Swedish kronor per liter yesterday at the cheapest station in town. At the current exchange rate, that's $1.92 USD per liter. There...

If anyone has any questions about these papers or the area, feel free to shoot me a PM.

I apologize for resurrecting this thread but I figure it's better than starting another new one. My lady and I will be in LV the first week of July to celebrate an anniversary/Independence Day. We've put many hours into research and made a few decisions, but we're having trouble narrowing down...

My fear is that they're starting to sense the opposite — that my visits to the consulate are to secure a residence permit for my lady to live here longterm, rather then me be over there. My SE and our editor are both great people, two of the best I've ever worked with at any rag. I don't want...

Forgive me in advance if this has been discussed recently or is a young scribe's FAQ on the board. I'm moving to Europe in July. I'm in the process of determining which day will be my last working in the U.S. (for now). I love my paper. I've been treated well and had incredible opportunities...
