After some hard thinking (read: I finally sobered up), I realize that most of what happened this weekend doesn't translate well to a blog. You had to be there. So, once again, let me coin a phrase from Inigo Montoya, "There is too much. Let me sum up."
As I sat at the bar with Iggy, reveling in the insanity of this group, I was once again awed by his insight. We separately had come to the realization that this group, well, it just works. We each have something to offer and, damnit, it's worth driving or flying from Canada, Chicago, Seattle, or wherever.
Man hugs with BamBam and not-so-man hugs with Pebbles made the trip worthwhile. 'Nuf said.
It was an interesting contrast of brothers. In one corner we had Otis and Dr. Jeff. When my boys grow up, I want them to have this relationship. They look out for each other. In corner #2 we have BG and the (absent) BB. Meeting the other brother was very cool. Technically we had met before, but I just realized they were related. I'm not sure which one was trying to hide the relationship from the public, if in fact they were. Regardless, it all makes sense now.
In the 3rd corner we have Steve and Tripjax. Trip - it was cool meeting you. I hope you survived the elements. 'Nuf said.
Next up - conversations with Otis, BadBlood and Falstaff, and of course, Tilting Lee Jones.

Pleasure meeting you! what a weekend, with a cool bunch of people. Just so we all know, Otis never fell. I was watching
From when I heard about the weekend to when it was a day or two away the prices of flights went from something like $400 to something like $1,200. Never had a chance for a cheap way down there.
First event I've regretted missing since Bradoween.
And at the other end of the bar at around the same moment, Peb's and I turned to look at each other and said, "look at this group. I mean, it just works."
:)
it was great getting some quality bar time with you, doc. was way overdue.
I had a helluva good time catching up with everyone. As for the elements, my bro tried to get me to go to his house, but I wasn't having it. I was thinking I would be heading back in the house, but that was before I caught some much needed zzzz's. Worked out though as I was ready to just before the sun came up and was back home in time for my Dads birthday party.
All goot.
Look forward to seeing you again soon...
