Dan - this show?

I got a trophy just for bringing a Scirocco to that show, though it was definitely the right day to show it (St. Patricks day)...

As for why I went, well, lets just say it was a historical journey.  I stayed with Howard Montaque, the original builder of the
Rieger:

Which I contributed to, by giving him the original USA plate:

This was also the very show where Dan Snow and I committed some of the most sacriligious acts in the history of electrical rigging:

It was a pretty good weekend for sure, though it was weighted more towards the air cooled crowd.
