Brain, great gathering!
It beat out Chicago by all means Even though Chicago was still a great time.
Guess the Mid Atlantic has a much larger following then the Chicago area
Made it home today about 4pm
Trip was kinda boring. Went a different route then the one taken down. Did it to avoid a serious weather front that dumped 5-8 inches of snow across MN and Wi
Really hated shoveling the driveway first thing back. That took the return mileage up an extra 110 miles but it was well worth it. Only had about 50 miles of light snow to drive through in Iowa
It was great meeting alot of you. I will not forget about it.
Brian, thanks again for the dinner and drinks, am so glad that Audio could not argue with me like he was with Skaterize(Craig) Just kidding.
Got stopped in Indiana, what a bunch of pr(*&&s. Two HP to stop me because I was in thier town at 3 am. I pulled off the road to look up the highway change and they stopped me becasue of that. Damn, at least I took the off ramp and did not stop on the highway. They might have whot me if I did that
Stopped in DC for a little while, but kinda lost interest in the sites. Thinking for about hte trip home in the snow and left because of it

Looking up the HRPA site next to see what the dates are for the Poker run. Just might have to tow the boat down if it does not sell here. Need to get somone to put another Advantage boat out on the east coast

The Richbrau Brewing Company and the Crowne Plaza hotel are eager to host us again in 2004. I think I biggest glitch was the Crowne Plaza had some staffing issues resulting in some trouble coordinating the free shuttles in a timely manner. This caused a little congestion with the start of the event.

In 2002, at Hooters of Fredericksburg, I hoped for 40 people to come out. We had 65 folks attend.
For 2003, I asked for 80-100 people to attend. We had a WHOPPING 153 PEOPLE attend this year. Richbrau is capable of handling 300 or so, and if we are going to double next year, we may have to secure a new venue.
