Hi Mel,
I'll be heading out to MS in about an hour for the basketball game and stay over until tomorrow. We'll shop and spend that $500 gas card. I'm still looking for my first royal of the year at MS.
Glad you enjoyed the concert. Was the George Benson concert a private mailer that went out a while ago? I seem to remember seeing something in the mail but it isn't listed on-line.
The host info is interesting. Do you always go through your host for reservations? I usually only e-mail my host to confirm concerts when they are first listed on line and also book the room and dinner through e-mail. In the past, I would get closed out of the best concerts if I waited for the invite. The weekly mailers this month are a big improvement. Did you get the gift givaway mailer for 9/25? It has a choice of some nice gifts or a $500 gift card. Nobody else on-line mentioned it. I have no idea how I qualified for it unless it is net loss for the year since I'm having a terrible year VP wise.
Good luck. We'll be back there next week if the Sun make it to the finals and the following week for the gift giveaway. If you'll be down there and want to hook up for a drink, drop me a line.
Joel
