MTM Vegas Party, Chapter IV! Friday, 3/22, 9:00 p.m. at the Bellagio!
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2019 2:10 pm
YES, IT'S BACK! 
AND NOW JUST A LITTLE OVER EIGHT WEEKS FROM TODAY! The NFBC may not be returning to the Bellagio this year, but the party, and quite frankly the best damn social event of the week you could attend out there, will be! 
Greg has once again graciously acquiesced on our behalf, and I was able to crowbar open his wallet just enough to reserve us our fabulous penthouse suite with the spectacular lake view and balconies as we had last year. 
So the tradition will continue with my fourth installment already out there in Sin City this time for Friday evening the 22nd after the completion of most of the live events of the day over at the Park MGM. And I don't want to hear any bullshit excuses about the five minute tram ride over...and God forbid most of you reading this got a little exercise once in a while and walked the mile or so over to the Bellagio from low-rent district of the Park MGM. I do realize it's a bit more than the 10' you're usually used to walking without losing your breath, but you have about two months to get in shape to make the trek. Maybe I'll ask Semsel to run guys back and forth on his back to help out. So I am hoping that as many of my fellow fanatics and NFBC brethren will put this on their schedules to join me for a great evening of late night festivities. For all of you who attended last year, a great time was had by all as always. This being Vegas, and with so many of us getting together who really don't get a chance to see each other very often, let alone ever meet in person in the first place, there again needs to be a party worthy of the NFBC and in the true MTM tradition of fun, food, drink, pagan rituals, animal acts, and maybe even a small contingent of some of Tom's hookers who will be open to offering Mexican Pancakes to anyone who wants one. 
(Do yourself a favor...don't look it up) 
But we'll see how it goes.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I do realize that the mere mention of hookers being at this party even in jest, is sure to elicit a variety of reactions by several of the wives of popular NFBC veterans who are usually in attendance each year, for example, Jupinka's wife:
and Scott Fleming's wife:
And Lowy's wife:
And Ando's wife:
And of course, Lindy's wife:
There will plenty of room to mingle, bullshit, trash-talk, take photos, get draft advice from me, etc. at our leisure for as long as you'd like that evening. There will be music, beverages, cigars, and I'll again have some draft results up on the big screen T.V. for all of us to debate about, especially the MTM Ultimate which will have taken place the week before in NYC. There will again be a full open bar like last year, and a delicious catered spread, so come both thirsty and hungry!
Now as much as I'd love to foot the remaining tab for this little soiree being the extremely magnanimous individual that I am, it's not going to be possible this year until I win my first overall Main Event title this season. So this time next year, it will be all on me to celebrate my great victory and crowning as the people's champion. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Mike said the same thing last year, and he didn't win jack shit.] So this being said, based on what it ran me last year minus the price of the room, it'll only going to be about $100 a head this year all inclusive. I may also add a $25 per head tolerance service fee for all the bullshit that I need to put up with just to make this thing go down without a hitch, including my therapist's fees for dealing with Greg each year.
And almost forgot one of the biggest highlights of the evening: THE MTM MIDNIGHT MADNESS DRAFT! This draft will again be returning to help cap off the night's festivities which carried on for some people way after the draft wrapped up. Darik has graciously agreed to be in attendance and partially sober to run it for us. It's always a blast, and I'll have a separate thread up about this draft shortly. We actually started this thing before midnight and we banged it out in about two hours last year powering straight through it without any breaks except for the occasional piss or vomit as I recall. It quickly sells out, so if you want a part of this action. Let me know ASAP and add I'll add your name to that thread as well.
So if you're planning on being in Vegas this year, and would like to be a part of the festivities, please post your name to this thread. I will then decide if you have my permission and are worthy enough to attend.
So let's get this rolling! I'd like to have about 30 minimum, and we can have as many as 50, so the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. All are welcome, including significant others if you would like to subject them to this type of torture. I'll be sending out some personal invites via texts and PM's, but let's get things started here on this thread. I've already added a few of you who have reached out to me about the party already. The only thing missing is your funds.
If you want in, I'm starting to collect fees for this now since I have to leave deposits for the catering etc. You can PayPal or Venmo me the funds to [email protected] or @Michael-Massotto respectively...or feel free to send money to both if you would like.
So here's another look at this awesome venue!
Nothing like a nice lake view of the fountains from the balcony while you're out smoking a premium cigar and sipping some fine bourbon or scotch?
Anyone else getting excited yet? So who wants in, please let me know ASAP. Thanks.
