This outing was  all about change! First, it was on a Friday night &#8211; Friday, November 21,  2003; 6:30 pm. The second change was that dinner would not be the  highlight of the gathering, but rather an option &#8211; and there were  several restaurants for us to choose from to dine. We ended up meeting  up and eating at the downstairs buffet area, having the wonderful Friday  Night Seafood buffet at &#8220;Classic Buffet&#8221; for $28.50. Afterward, we made  our way up to one of the many lounges in the casino to do our cigar  thing, in the comfortable chairs and sofas. And then there&#8217;s the  gambling! We took the cigars and drinks right with us to the machines.  First Ron won some, then put it right back in the machines. Then Patrick  won some, then I (Jeremy) won some, and so on&#8230; Patrick and I even got  a tour of the &#8220;Player&#8217;s&#8221; Lounge from our good buddy Todd (see <\/a><a href=\"..\/..\/2003-gatherings.htm#Jan\">January &#8217;03<\/a>)! A  great night of free-range cigar-smoking, affordable drinks, incredible  food, and beautiful scantily-clad servers. I call THAT a success!  Unfortunately, there were no pictures taken at this gathering, since no  cameras were allowed in the casino. Officially in attendance this day  were Ron, Patrick, Rod, Jeremy, Ty, and Todd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ron took the bull by the horns &#8211; November&#8217;s gathering was to be held at Motor City Casino on Grand River and the Lodge freeway.
