Scott,
Probably did! I spent a fair bit of time at the Early S tent; Chuck was my "ride" from the hotel in Ventura so the least I could do was help out the Early S guys.
He picked me up on the Thursday afternoon from my hotel in LA; we headed out to his place and swapped cars and then "did Mulholland" Chuck's way (FAST)... before heading out for dinner. After 55 hours no sleep I finally crashed headfirst into my plate - Chuck, bless him didn't mind at all and let me "doze"...incredibly embarrassing but very funny
. I don't do sleep in airplanes very well and didn't sleep at all before hopping on the plane as I was busy sewing a costume for Billy's first school concert that he needed for the night I returned...the things we do!
One other Aussie and one Kiwi were there with me too - I was like the "older sister" in their words; keeping them from buying crappy stuff at the swapmeet! It wasn't all crappy - there was some great stuff there; just not what I needed at the time.
We all had a GREAT time, but the Show seems to be diminishing from previous years. I'd like to come over for the LA literature fair one year and maybe a Monterey historic meet; just can't manage the time away from bus. and home
...
