HAD A NICE MEETING WITH CRAIG YESTERDAY AT THE PALMS. HE IS REALLY ON THE BALL. HE IS QUITE IN TUNE WITH US SILVER STRIKERS. I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE RUMOR CIRCULATING IN REFERENCE TO THE PALMS $200 MODIFIED STATUE OF LIBERTY STRIKE. I ASKED HIM HOW MANY STRIKES WERE RELEASED? HE SAID 20 , AT RANDOM. I ASKED HOW MANY WERE MINTED AND HE TOLD ME 25.
I HAVE A LIST MADE UP OF APPROXIMATELY WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED. IF YOU CARE TO HAVE A COPY OF THE LIST JUST EMAIL ME. AND IF YOU WISH NOT TO BE ON THE LIST, DO SO ALSO THROUGH AN EMAIL.
AS WE ALL KNOW, OUR CONVENTION IS THIS COMING JUNE. CRAIG IS WORKING ON HAVING A SLOT TOURNAMENT TO CO-INSIDE WITH OUR JUNE CONVENTION. THE DETAILS ARE BEING WORKED OUT AND IT SEEMS HE WANTS TO HAVE 2 DIFFERENT $200 STRIKES, A TOURNAMENT STRIKE, PLUS RED CAPS. RICHARD NELSON 'S COMPANY WILL DO THE TOURNAMENT STRIKES.
CRAIG INDICATED THAT THE ENTRY FEE WOULD BE ABOUT $200 AND IS WORKING WITH THE PALMS TO GET US A GOOD CASINO RATE. THE TOP PRIZE IS TO BE DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES. WE WOULD PLAY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES FOR 2 SESSIONS. HE WILL WORK OUT THE SCHEDULE ACCORDING TO THE CONVENTION NOT TO INTERFERE WITH OUR MEETINGS AND SUCH. HE HAS OTHER IDEAS WHICH WILL BE NOVEL TO US SO HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS.
(POSSIBLY A SURPRISE STRIKE !!!)
ALL DETAILS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. BUT IT SEEMS WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER GREAT TIME IN VEGAS WHEN ALL THE SILVER STRIKERS GET TOGETHER AGAIN...
LASTLY, AT THIS POINT, CRAIG HOPES TO RELEASE THE PALMS $200 CHRISTMAS STRIKE IN MARCH.
HAVE FUN STRIKING...
