Wow, Mary, how many more of these great memories do you have? Please keep them coming, if there are more! For some reason, I was thinking a lot last week about Vegas, Leonard's show, the great forum people that I met and all the fun we had. And then you post more pics! Thanks! :D

Me too, Lisa. A week ago, on my way to the Spring National Bridge Tournament in Reno, the Southwest flight stopped in Las Vegas. Seeing Caesars Palace from the air, all the great memories flooded back. I watched my video of "First We Take Manhattan" with LC sweetly hugging Fred. And being calmer now, I noticed the actual moment that Fred "appeared" on stage, thanks to his determined mother, MaryB. And also when LC first noticed Fred. So I just edited the info on my youtube vid.

At 3:54, Fred the LC Forum monkey arrives on stage, having been accurately placed there by Fred's determined mum, MaryB. On the way over to Javier Mas at 4.24 for another superb duet, LC notices Fred.
At 5.00 Leonard picks up Fred and hugs him for the rest of the song to the cheers of Forum fans.

Hey Arlene!

Haha! I was also just watching that video (and all of the ones that Albert kindly filmed for us in LV, since I was on memory lane this past week!), and it is so cute when Leonard hugs that monkey (and then he skips off-stage hugging it in his arms!). Aahh, to be that monkey! :lol:

I would like to relive those days again soon. It was such a highlight and so much fun. I think that monkey is not Fred but I forget what he is called.
Mary B is our monkey lady! The photos are delightful and thank you for posting them.

Wasn't he called Las Vegas Fred with his glittery vest? I also love how Leonard picks him up and cradles him his arm, then he skips off stage still holding him! :)

I am afraid my only comment ignores Fred - who has already clearly fully fulfilled his subsitute or surrogate fantasy role with Leonard on behalf of many female members of this Forum - and instead I must speculate on why Arlene would return to Reno for a Bridge tournament without reporting on her success at Poker, Craps or Blackjack. I thought I ispired you to have a go Arlene?

I am afraid my relationship with Bridge is limited to the Bridge of Sighs and others but if you can find a decent Backgammon tournament Arlene I will be there in a flash.
