There was beer somewhere. At 10:45 AM, the guy next to me had a half-empty cup of beer. I assume he bought it somewhere on the grounds.

Next year, bring your own. :baby:

Well, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. No electrical tape signs or anything. I didn't see anything worthy of pictures, either - a little disappointing in that regard, I guess. It was fun watching my 9-year-old shut down a couple of the OF's who thought they were being cute, "Well, little gu...

Well, that was a giant waste of 45 minutes, except for the sign at the main entrance, which made it worth the trip. The parking lot has been closed or removed for some reason and everyone was being parked in a field beyond the fairgrounds. It was raining pretty hard and things looked pretty muddy. I...

Yeah, I'm not really sure *why* I want to go. I suspect I'll get angry and leave in the first 10 minutes. I was hoping I could get Alex to go along, but he's "busy" ...

I'm probably going to make a quick pass in the early afternoon, not sure yet. I wanted to drop by the UNYREPCO meeting, just to see what that would be like.
