It was a star studded evening as the "Glorious Adsters" strolled up the red carpet to partake in a night of star studded glamour.  As is typical for these events, the paparazzi were there in full tow.  Each one clamoring to get the best shot and shouting inquisitions as to what designers the "Glorious Adsters" were wearing on the red carpet that evening.  Most of the stars were generous and "struck a pose" to humor the paparazzi. 

Once making it through the paparazzi, guests were greeted by the coat check girls who replaced coats with boa's for that added touch of extravagance.  Once inside "WOW" it was the Cat's Pajamas!!!

The Lobster Martini's flowed along with the Shrimp Shooters and every imaginable beverage you would want.  Server's fortified the crowd with sumptuous delicacies to tantalize the taste buds. 

Cigarette girls sidled up along the guests, supplying each one with that much needed candy cigarette or tasty cigar... of bubblegum.

Mouths dropped and men were all aglow as Marilyn Monroe began to "work" the room.  Later, Fred and Ginger, glided across the stage with feet as light as feathers as they graced us with a little dance number.

While engaged in an embracing conversation with a stimulating "Adster", I knew I heard an unmistakable voice, and slowly I turned to find Katherine Hepburn right behind me.  What an honor!   She was every bit as charming in person as I knew she would be.

The crowd roared as the Glorious Adsters Rat Pack took the stage.  They, of course, are the biggest crowd pleasers of all, Joe and Jim and Scott.  Expectedly, there was, applause, applause, applause.  When the crowd finally calmed, glasses were raised, toasts were made, and prizes flowed like champagne.

It was dazzling!  The Cream of the Crop!  The Cat's Meow!  And although there was no "Singin' in the Rain" there was also no "Mutiny on the Bounty"!   All in all it certainly was "A Night To Remember". 

 Gee, "It's a Wonderful Life"!!

DETROIT -- Who knew first aid could be so fun?!  Nine Detroit Organics spent the afternoon yesterday learning their A, B, Cs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) and the 3 Cs of life saving: Check, Call, Care.  Granted, there were some class clown moments with the melodramatic videos and playing with dolls (which prefer to be called mannequins and are offended when referred to as dummies . . . or so our instructor Elsworth told us), but in the end much was learned.

It wasn't enough to simply purchase an AED (automated external defibrillator) for the office; we needed to make sure we had trained representatives throughout the building who knew how to use it.  Not only can we safely stop someone's heart through an electric shock (Did you know that the point is to stop it so that it resumes normal pace?!), but we can identify shock, clear airways, and conduct CPR.  Fingers crossed we never have to put these skills to use, but it's nice to know that if needed, we've got them.

Camp O. Thursday, 2:00 PM.

LAS VEGAS -- After convening this morning (earlier than I would have expected!), teams had their protein and got out in the field for research.

Right now, everyone is pursuing and hopefully finalizing "the gift"...that one true insight. Right now, some are closer than others, but all are pretty much on the same timeline. It's close!

Team Envy is busy sorting through all insights, and they have come up with some pretty good quotes, several of which have been tweeted, check out the campo17 twitter feed! I have to say, given all the McDonalds and Nathan's wrappers, clearly our campers are way too busy to eat anything remotely decent. Thanks Palms, for the comped fruit, we all needed it!

Team Anger, who managed to get themselves removed from the Wynn yesterday in true cub scout reporter fashion, are currently holed up in their room circling, circling, circling their gift like an airplane at JFK, but they are almost there. Next, they will head back out to work on part two of their insight gathering, and tonight, they will probably be up most of the night tying it all together. Along with everyone else. 

Meanwhile, the counselors found a nice "gift" for each member of the winning team, who will be selected after tomorrow's presentations.

More later.

Camp O, 7:00 am.

LAS VEGAS -- Vegas is waking up, but most of the campers are still asleep after a long night of making new friends and gathering insights.  Depending upon where they gathered those insights, some of them may have a very difficult time waking up this morning!

At last progress check last night, all teams were engaged and doing their research up and down the strip, and still at it at midnight. All groups are reconvening this morning with their counselors to check in on their progress, and for some, to explain certain things (like, why one team was asked to leave a venue they were researching!).

Once everyone is fortified with protein and something fried, we'll see how far along each team is in their journey! Who will be ahead at this time? Pride? Lust? Envy? Ready to make bets yet?
