Perhaps you joined our little group late. Rather than ostracize you and make you feel unwelcome, we have decided to give you a chance to catch up on what you already missed. To tell the truth, though, it was much more fun the first time around.
If you don't mind, please try to make an effort to get here on time in the future.
Before you all go rushing to unsubscribe from the newsletter, keep in mind that this thing is going to stay a ways behind the email version, and doesn't include the letter from Randy or any of our other witticisms - just the feature story. Thought you could outsmart us? Ha!
One other thing. You might have noticed that some numbers appear to be missing. Good for you! You must have had a subscription to "Highlights" magazine when you were a kid! The missing newsletters either appear elsewhere on the site (usually they are excerpts from full Vegas trip reports) or were announcements for events which have ended.
