Active Rainers Parties up a storm!

The "Crib" was awesome but meeting all the Active Rain members and the Rain Dudes themselves was absolutely incredible!

I took 58 pictures at the party...some of them totally hysterical!

Some of us recognized each other right away and others we had to play a guessing game.

The suite itself was very much a playboy suite with a stripper pole bar in the shower, floor to ceiling widows windows over looking the city, a huge moving master bed<gg>  and I think at least 7 flat screen TV's.

We couldn't expect anything less as the Palms is a Playboy hotel.

We all poked around the suite laughing...it was a total blast! 

Our Hosts...Matt, Jonathan and Bob were all wonderful and it was exciting meeting them!

Place your mouse over the photo if you don't recognize who is in the photo.

What a fun party!  I would love to meet some Active Rainers in person.  There are so many who are so good at blogging and I know they would be interesting in real life as well. 

11/15/2007 11:53 AM by David & Lisa Webber, www.webberteam.com (RE/MAX Vision)

Monika... You wild woman.... Didn't realize you left the hubby home... Better stop blogging or that old saying "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas" won't ring true any longer....

11/15/2007 01:23 PM by Dan Cummings - Connecticut's Running Realtor (Raveis Real Estate)

Monika has a saying that is "what is good for the goose is good for the gander". LOL

11/15/2007 01:37 PM by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty)

A stripper pole ??? Gosh I recognized most of them, what does that say about me?? Too much time in the rain.

11/15/2007 02:01 PM by Missy Caulk Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams Ann Arbor, Michigan)

Some of my favorite people right there in one room.  Glad you all had a great time!

11/15/2007 02:14 PM by Maureen Francis & Dmitry Koublitsky, SKBK Sotheby's - Metro Detroit (SKBK Sotheby's International Realty)

I'm jealous. That's all I have to say:(

11/15/2007 02:44 PM by Bryant Tutas-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc

I really wish I could have made it. Total bummer. :(

But how about some more photo's!?!?!

11/15/2007 04:00 PM by Michael Tarabotto (Certified Appraiser) Santa Clarita, San Fernando, Westside (California Appraisal Solutions Corp.)

11/15/2007 04:37 PM by Lane Bailey - The REALTOR for Car People (Diamond Dwellings Realty)

What fun! I do know that Rainers can party - and talk. We can talk hour after hour after hour... Sorry I wasn't there to see old friends and make new ones.

11/15/2007 04:43 PM by Sharon Simms St Pete Florida CRS CIPS CLHMS (RE/MAX Metro)

Monika is on her way to the airport and will post more tomorrow. She gets home around 12:30 AM Friday. I need a nap before I go pick her up. LOL

11/15/2007 04:44 PM by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty)

You guy's look like you are having so much FUN...Have a drink for me!

11/15/2007 04:48 PM by Paula Paquin (Royal LePage Atlantic)

Ann

11/15/2007 05:13 PM by Portsmouth NH Real Estate ~ Ann Cummings (RE/MAX Coast to Coast - Portsmouth New Hampshire)

Wow, great pictures.  Thanks for the update.

11/15/2007 05:33 PM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)

Looks like fun Monica!  I am glad I wasnt there drinking with a stripper pole, I'd have too much fun!! - Professionalism out the window!

11/15/2007 05:35 PM by Kim Carpenter-Lake Winnipesaukee REALTOR -Lake Winnipesaukee Real Estate, NH (Coldwell Banker)

Your pictures are so nice.....nothing like Lucky's (I almost p'd my pants).  Awwww! I missed a great get together, what a bummer!  Thanks for the photos...I would have played the guessing game with a lot of the people there as well.

11/15/2007 05:41 PM by Rick & Ines - Miami Shores Real Estate (Majestic Properties)

Monika,

I hear you can get a really good workout with the stripper pole.....maybe Jay will have one installed when you get home! ;)

"love-in-a-mist" alright...LOL!

11/15/2007 06:04 PM by Suzanne Sands-Somerset, MA Real Estate (Century 21 Associates Realty)

Thank you for sharing this with us.  I would love to be there next year.  I'm glad you had a good time.  Now, where are the rest of the photos?  Don't hold back!

11/15/2007 06:12 PM by Elaine Hanson, REALTOR® ~ Topanga, CA Real Estate Specialist (Pritchett-Rapf & Assoc. Realtors, Topanga)

Monika, those are awsume pictures, and I look forward to seeing the rest.  I just have one question did you try out the pole? :)

11/15/2007 06:15 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)

Monika - these were great. I wish I could have been there - it's only a 5 hour drive or a short flight, but business called. What a great group of folks. Thanks you for sharing these!!

Jeff

11/15/2007 06:23 PM by Jeff Dowler ~ Carlsbad Real Estate (RE/MAX Associates)

Well, in retrospect Monika, I would of fit in just fine:-)

11/15/2007 06:45 PM by Jason Sardi, Pennsylvania Mortgage Broker (First Choice Equity Group Inc.)

Monika,

It certainly was fun to meet some of the rainers in person there. Some you could identify quickly by the picture here, and others not so. And meeting Jonathan and Matt was inspiring. Missed that stripper pole, though.

11/15/2007 06:53 PM by Esko Kiuru - Las Vegas NV Mortgage Consultant (Sinifox Financial)

Thanks for posting the pictures Monica! 

I'm with BB and Lysa, green.  Wishing I had been there to meet all of you.  

 

11/15/2007 07:22 PM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)

It was an absolute pleasure to meet you Moni!  Next time bring the big rig and your man pal down and we will go to Zion.  No stripper poles there :)

11/15/2007 07:32 PM by Renee Burrows - Las Vegas NV Real Estate (Nevada Realty Solutions)

From the smiles on everyone's faces you can tell the get together was a blast!

11/15/2007 08:07 PM by Lisa Ryan~Selling Princeton,West Windsor and Montgomery Township New Jersey (Prudential NJ Properties)

Hi there,

11/15/2007 08:21 PM by Orange Co. Real Estate~Lynda Eisenmann, Broker-Owner, Brea, CA (Preferred Home Brokers)

Hey, Monika,

 "floor to ceiling widows"--such a cute oops--please reassure me that it was an oops?

 

11/15/2007 08:28 PM by nancyjanewilliams@comcast.net

How fun to all join up in Vegas and  have AR in common!  What funner group could there be?!  AR should get together at every state convention as well!

11/15/2007 08:51 PM by Natalie Langford, Winchester, VA Real Estate (Realty Direct of Shenandoah Valley)

Where are the bikinis?

11/15/2007 09:42 PM by Gil Kerbashian Real Estate Loans

Hi Moni,

Looks like a great time was had by all!  Glad to see you had a much deserved getaway.  Sorry Jay couldn't join you - as I'm sure you were. Thanks for sharing these great pictures.

11/15/2007 09:53 PM by Pascack Valley Real Estate>> Lisa and Robert Hammerstein (Coldwell Banker)

Monika - this is a great post! If you get this comment while you are still there, Please please please tell everyone I said hi. Next year I'll try and make it.  When you guys all get back, I'll have a present posted for ya! :-) Have fun, and be safe getting back home!

11/15/2007 09:53 PM by Brad Andersohn ~ Community Builder (ActiveRain)

Nice pics, Monika! It was great meeting so many Rainers in person. I left at about 12:30 AM and they were just ordering a boatload of appetizers. The stripper pole is a common upgrade in many Las Vegas homes. We adjust our CMAs accordingly. :)

11/15/2007 10:49 PM by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace)

Sorry we missed it we did think about coming down to the PALM. We had a long day and finished up  at about 10 and decided the 7:00 am tour we were going to need our attention to sleep. So next year at NAR I will attend. Thanks for the party what a great idea.

11/15/2007 11:01 PM by Terry Westbrook ~ Realtor(R) Grand Rapids Mi Ada/Cascade Real Estate (Five Star Real Estate, LLC Grand Rapids , MI)

I am off to the airport to pickup my lovely wife. I am sure she is exhausted. She will comment and upload more pics later today.

 

11/15/2007 11:03 PM by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty)

Look at Randy!  I am soooo jealous! I'm so glad I told him to check out the party post!!!  You guys know that I wanted to be there too right? 

So...everyone coming to Hawaii in January for the Sellabration?

 

11/15/2007 11:12 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), HAWAII Real Estate & HAWAII Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)

In regards to what Lysa had to say.  I am scared of Carnac this month.  Usually find Carnac so amusing too :)

11/15/2007 11:20 PM by Renee Burrows - Las Vegas NV Real Estate (Nevada Realty Solutions)

Ahhhh, now I'm jealous!! Looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing the photos.

11/15/2007 11:51 PM by Andrew Trevino Wilkes-Barre Homes For Sale (TradeMark Realtors Group)

Moni, A threesom in the shower with the pole???? Jay says you told him "what's good for the goose..."? I wonder how he'll find a pole in Hampstead?

Congratulations on the gold star my friend!

11/16/2007 12:17 AM by Judy Tuscano, NH Real Estate Professional (Prudential Verani Realty)

Monika, It looks like everyone had a great time. I sorry I missed it.

11/16/2007 12:46 AM by Frank Rubi Louisiana Real Estate-Homes for Sale (Specialized Real Estate Services, Inc.)

Thanks Moni, I love pictures of current events...specially when person in the picture looks nothing like their "official" real estate picture. :) 

Looks like you had a good time. 

11/16/2007 06:55 AM by Bob Carney Licensed MD/PA Real Estate Agent (Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.)

Shucks! Bad time management meant I had to get on the road to Yuma to teach yesterday and I missed it!!!(Probably won't have been good to come to the party before driving 5 hours!)

 Looks like fun! Good to see those of you I did see during the convention!

11/16/2007 08:37 AM by Joeann Fossland, Master Certified Coach (Advantage Solutions Group)

Wow...Thanks so much for all the comments. I will catch up with everyone on their blogs a soon as possible.

Just want to say... Lane...don't relax yet as you never know what other pictures are floating around out there and Renee...I'm in fear of Carnac too!

To all ...we had a great time! Next year the convention will be in Orlando and if there is an AR get together try and do it. It was so nice to meet everyone and the party the AR Dudes threw for us was just the greatest!

I'm beat, I got home at 2 a.m.  last night! 

 

11/16/2007 11:07 AM by Monika McGillicuddy~REALTOR®~ N.H. Real Estate Broker & Trainer (Prudential Verani Realty/Hampstead)

Monika- Wow, sure looks like a great Party...and that's the first picture I have seen of Bob front, full faced:)  I'll bet you're beat.....but what great memories....thanks for sharing.

11/16/2007 11:17 AM by Kathy McGraw ~ Calif Broker (CELLing Realty)

Monika,sounds like carnac will have plenty to say this time around! Having never been in a place like the "crib" it's hard to imagine so we all appreciate the photos that are shared. Sounds like everyone had a rip roaring time.

11/16/2007 11:41 AM by Sacramento Real Estate and Luxury Homes, Assoc. Real Estate Broker,Gena Riede (Remax Gold, Assoc Broker)

Looks like a fun time was had by all....

Sorry I missed it.

11/16/2007 05:12 PM by Tom Burris | Texas Home Loan Expert (DallasLoanGuy.com)

It was a great time and looking at the photos everyone has posted has been so funny.

Bob...Funny how we really do not look much like our photos. LOL...most everyone except for Linda Davis was shorter than I imagined. 

Judy That threesome in the shower with the pole was indeed  an interesting event! LOL!

Sally...I would LOVE to be in Hawaii in January! Would LOVE it! 

Terry..Too bad you didn't, you missed a great time.  

11/16/2007 05:57 PM by Monika McGillicuddy~REALTOR®~ N.H. Real Estate Broker & Trainer (Prudential Verani Realty/Hampstead)

Hey Monika - you look like your picture....that I know for sure.  A few others in the various pictures I've seen look like their pictures here, but I must say many really don't! 

Thanks again for sharing the good times with us!
Ann

11/16/2007 07:00 PM by Portsmouth NH Real Estate ~ Ann Cummings (RE/MAX Coast to Coast - Portsmouth New Hampshire)

Ann...The only thing that could have made the party better was if everyone had their profile picture on a name tag pinned to their shirts! LOL!

11/16/2007 07:34 PM by Monika McGillicuddy~REALTOR®~ N.H. Real Estate Broker & Trainer (Prudential Verani Realty/Hampstead)

Monika - That's funny...I really had to guess at a lot of them!

11/16/2007 08:51 PM by Monika McGillicuddy~REALTOR®~ N.H. Real Estate Broker & Trainer (Prudential Verani Realty/Hampstead)

It is the next best thing to being there!  Thanks for the pictures -- I think the pole in the bathroom is a hoot!  Have a safe trip back -- snow flurries here in Nashua today!  There certainly is a chill in the air!

11/16/2007 09:05 PM by Joan Whitebook, ABR, e-Pro, CEBA (Buyer's Option Realty Services)

That is great! I wish we could have made it. I had WAY too many before it was time to go to the Palms. We had a real good time at the Prudential Party!

11/16/2007 09:48 PM by Scott & Jennifer Bowman (Prudential Shimmering Sands Realty)

Jennifer...I had planned to go to the prudential party but when the AR party turned out to be the same night...AR won out.

Thanks Joan...Everyone kept taking pictures all night long.
