Went on spec anyway and wound up leaving about $150 there for a crook, kilt pin, t-shirt, and tote bag. Ran into the couple that puts the thing on and they said basically the same thing. There did seem to be more vendors than the last two years.

I managed to lose my eyeglasses!!! (Olde olde olde) so had to cut out early and run over to the mall to order a new pair then drive home before dark. And I looked right at the eyeglass retainer cord in my car just after I parked at the games and thought "naaa."

Long haul, 275 miles round trip. Ran into Keys and three other guys from the board but in my eyeglass distress forgot names.

Don't know if I'll come next year...last year had the collision with the kid driving on the wrong side of the road...this year I lose my glasses...spooky.

Got a few pics, will post if they're any good.
