Thanks again to everyone that helped set this up. This was by far the best show I've ever been to. I'm still in shock from the awesome tail gate. This was gonna be my last show this year but thanks to you guys I may do 2-3 more.

Nice pic of Jimmy! Thanks to everyone who organized the tailgate. Wish we could've gotten there earlier to meet everyone but glad we got to meet those we did. It was awesome! A special thanks to the organizers of the 'ladies room'. That was well worth the $10 for me! My boat was afloat!

They do, with a connection through newark. they get on the plane, it rolls from the gate and then, because of the weather in Newark, they are forced to sit on the tarmac for two hours. Finally get to Newark with a 9:45 connector to Boston. As of 9:30, still no plane.
They made it to Boston, and Sarah just stayed there ...it was too late to drive home. Luckily she already has a sub for today..What a trip!
She'll tell y'all about it later. (Don't ask about the screaming baby in front of her that I could hear the WHOLE time on the phone...

Thanks Connie! Carol and I finally made it last night about midnight...packing things up here in Boston to head home....what a day yesterday was...
"Thunderstorms to the left....thunderstorms to the right...." Our pilot got on while we circled Newark to tell us that....

what a blast, except for American cancelling our flight yesterday at about 1:30!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
we finally got a flight out to Newark after much todo and getting patted own and our luggage searched!!

arrived home and got into bed around 1:45am. i just looked at the weather and i can't believe it may reach 100 degrees tomorrow. i thought i left that weather down south???
anyways, i have to say that the weekend was a whole lot of fun even with the heat!! thank god for the pool at the hotel, the noodles and great company ( pam and sarah ).
dave and scott did an OUTSTANDING job. i was so relieved when i saw that bus in the biggest shady spot. i really was worried that i wasn't going to fair too well if we were in the regular lots. those poor ph's.
great to meet new friends and see old ones. i apologize for any slickness and smell i had on saturday, espeically to larry! i didn't even go to my seat at the venue. i just headed for his 8th row center seat and stayed there the entire show!! got some good pic's.
Albert, the brunch was wonderful and we all appreciate the hard work you put into the weekend. ...and geting us out of raleigh to the airport.
gotta fly, off to work a few hours late.
