All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW! So many friends that I've met for the first time face to face, new friends too and so much to do and see. I hate to sound repetitious but you guys are the absolute best!!!

I met many people that I've been emailing for a long time and meeting on the CB and finally got to give them a BIG hug. Since it was my first convention, the list of names would be tooooooo long to list.

Needless to say, there were also one or two chips that I was able to add to my collection. I'll probably be cataloging them for the rest of the summer, so I'll be staying off of ebay for a bit. If any of my usual sellers miss me, email me when you put up new auctions.

Archie, that's a great chip you gave out. Thank you!

Here are some of my chip highlights (sorry if it takes a while to display):

The only downside was the trip home... 10 hours. Delays due to the plane being too heavy (I'm sure it was NOT my chips causing the problem ), missed connection because of the delay, changing planes 3 times instead of twice, no meals (pretzels are good but enough is enough), waiting at the gate twice because of no room to dock, running from connection to connection dragging a load of chips. I could go on but I won't bore you further. Now I remember why I don't like to fly.

Too end up on a positive note, thank goodness the convention was terrific and I won a pretty good amount of money at the slots.

Thank you all for putting on a GREAT convention
