Yep, read this one in 1 sitting as well; way too short!! Passing it around to co-workers.

Lame pick up lines? How many of us would go with him on just a look from those gorgeous eyes? The man doesn't have to say a word!!! ** Gutter, here I come!!! [no pun intended] **

Include me for the limo, unless there is no more room, in which case I will need a ride. Thanks, Liana

"Letters to Erik" and "Unmasked" are 2 of the titles on their way from Amazon. Finished "The Phoenix of the Opera" last night, and "Out of the Darkness" today. Had to take a break tho, to cut the grass!! Liana

Just started my collection of Phantom books. Besides the original story, I have completed Stefanie's book "The Phantom Returns" (loved it by the way and wrote a review for it at Amazon) and Kae D. Jacob's "Beyond the Masque". Stefanie, I got so caught up in your book that I read it in one sitting. I recommended it to my secretary, lent it to her and she is now reading it. I wrote a review for "Beyond the Masque", too. I have to say that "Beyond..." got to me in a way that few books have; after I finished it, I started reading it through a second time, immediately. It was one of those books that sucked me in and had me staying up to all hours because I didn't want to put it down, and although I am a fast reader, the book is over 600 pages. I was pulled in from page one. I must be a "visual" learner, because I have been trying so hard to figure out exactly how Erik looks. I pulled out all of the descriptive passages about him from this book and have actually made a "chart" of the characteristics mentioned. But I still can't good mental image!! I find this very frustrating. I can't even use Gerry's POTO make-up as a starting place because he was portrayed so differently from Erik in Leroux's original. I would really like to get a look at anything from any artists out there who have done a full face portrait of original Erik with his mask off. I just started the first of Sadie Montgomery's series, "The Phoenix of the Opera". I have the rest of the set to read and I have a $140+ order coming from Amazon with more Phantom books. Liana

Just realized that I wrote 2:45 am as my arrival time. It should be "pm". Sorry for the confusion. Liana

7:00 for dinner at the Hilton's Hacienda Margarita (late arrivals welcome!) 1) Swannie 2) Irish 3) IListen

I prefer a chaise lounge to a deck chair, I will will "recline" along with you, if I don't scare everyone away when they see me in my swim suit!!! If I can swing it, I will be in Vegas next year. Starting to think about how I'm going to get my gown out there this year; poofy crinoline and all!

Phew! Feels like it's been forever since I've been on the board; this time of year is so busy at work (and I just finished reading Beyond the Masque, by Kae Jacobs for the 2nd time in less than a week. I've fallen in love with that book; all 600+ pages!!!). 7:00 at the Hacienda sounds good to me. Like I said, I'm up for anything... it's Vegas after all! I'm there to have fun and make memories! I don't have a cell phone number list. I will gladly share my number. Who is doing one? Liana 22 days and counting :dance:

You bet I will be there!! I added my name to the end of this list. Liana Spot and BIG MIKE will be in Vegas, baby!!

I am on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini. The year I was born, 1959, I believe the 21st was Taurus. I have many traits of both signs. I was born around 7:30pm (I came instead of dinner!) Liana

I'm supposed to get in early Thursday afternoon. I'm not going to Chippendale's, either. I would like to see the strip, but not by myself. I'm up for just about anything!! Liana

I'm getting in around 2:45 am on Thursday and my flight out on Sunday is supposed to be around 11:15 am. Liana

I thought that it came after Masquerade or before Point of No Return, when he is rigging the chandelier, based on the clothes he has on. His version fits the movie much better than Minnie Driver's version, IMO. Obviously, it's one of my favorites. Liana

Gee, that goes along with our nerd/hero!
