Hi all!

First off, a huge shout-out and thanks to Dain, along with all the parties responsible for putting together this grand experience! It's truly a wonderful thing to have been a part of, and it was deeply special meeting everyone and just having a good time. I look forward to future events, whatever/whenever they may be.

On this trip, I for some reason didn't take too many pics at the event itself, but I did take a couple here and there. I have some assorted pics of my vacation and drive to and from that I will share some of (heheh, not all of them though).

First post : Little Video I took at the Expo, Dain's holding his cute little one, and just some general walkaround stuff. Not the best quality, but ah well

The bar right behind her is a pretty cool place as well, called Backroom BBQ. It is a total dive bar but has some PBR on tap for a buck a glass The old city is good stuff though, I wish you guys were in town longer and I could have shown you guys some other cool places.

That would have been awesome!

Sometime not too far in the future, I want to go out to Chapel Hill and visit Dain and Family, and then go by Charlotte to visit them. I'll probably try to fly in, then rent a car to runabout in. Would be nice to visit Knoxville again, real nice town. And I'll have to look you up! Come on down to Texas sometime!

Ah, good times with Ama back at the hotel

I regret not getting a chance to talk with you. It was a lot of fun going on. And I wasted it working in my booth!

Oh no say your not a cowboy fan  lol

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
