Wrong, oh suds breath...I was shooting photos for an assignment at 8:30AM, and unlike last year, without a headache!

Cheated actually. Since some low life will probably post a picture anyway, I had a bottle of water between cups of beer.

Thank you
 
Thanks to the sponsors who put this on. Met some new friends and was able to make it to SOS without getting arrested afterwards. We got to thank JClark for supporting the improvements in HBC. And Dan thanks for the fabric covering advice for my Piet. project that you gave me while visiting around the campsite.

That Fixed Gear Red was great - I downed a few. Good thing I was riding the bus to the dorms! Thanks, Dan, Jenny and all the others involved - this was my first attendance but not the last!

Ditto!

Had a great time, met some great folks and made it back to the dorms with only slightly tumbled gyros and was even able to wander over next door to Kelly's to finish off the evening! :D

A little rocky start to Tuesday morning, but 3 passes thru the donut spread over at the campus dining hall got all cylinders firing as the blood sugar came up to rich of peak!

See ya next year!

PS-A big THANKS to all for putting this event together!!

Thanks
 
Dan, Jenny, and all the others that put on the social. Thanks
I was only able to be there for a short time but it was great to meet some of the people I have traded posts with vendors I have purchased things from.

I did find it hard to find people without knowing what they looked like! I missed seeing several people I really wanted to meet. This was my first visit to AV - maybe next year!

I missed the social this year since I got invited to hang out with the warbird guys instead. With free beer and burger & brats dinner I couldn't turn that down. I also learned that my RV6 is somewhat of a warbird too... turns out that the Nigerian Air Force used RV6s as trainers... I never knew that.

Thoroughly enjoyed it again. Thanks sponsors and worker bees.

I thought I would get there well ahead of the other gate crashers who wouldn't wait for the end-of-the-airshow start time.

Wrong.

Special thanks to Bill Repucci and crew, who as a public service, selflessly and without regard for personal safety, arrived early and sucked up all the beer foam from the early tap pulls. Don't think you would have wanted to be in a tent with those guys late Monday night ;)

End of report.

We knew we had to take one for the team!

We had a great time! Thanks everyone!

Thanks!
 
I had a great time, as did everyone I talked to. I'd like to request New Glarus' "Totally Naked" Ale for next year. It's awesome.

Sorry we didn't catch up with you Bill. Being our first time we were unsure what time it started so we got there about 6.45 and walked around hoping to recognise someone from photo's I've seen. We caught up with Pete Howell who is a really nice guy but he couldn't see you and thought you may had already left.
I don't know when we will be able to make the long trip across the Pacific ocean again but we did enjoy our time in the states.
