Is it over??? As much stress as it was to plan and pull off WestFest IV, the payoff was tremendous. (Thanks to cmyX5go/Laura for constantly telling me to calm down.) I told someone on Saturday that I could have planned the event at the Taj Mahal but if the people weren't there is would be a big fat nothing. It is the people that makes a meet and we have a whole bunch of them. I want to sincerely thank everyone who attended. You made everything so very worth it.

The opportunity to meet face to face is priceless. What was strange was that meeting most of you guys for the first time in person felt like greeting an old friend. I didn't realize that our relationships could be so well established that the first face to face would seem so easy. Even the people with whom I had never conversed were so nice and so friendly. It was just a super relaxed and fun atmosphere.

I'll be responding to other posts that I have yet to look at but here is the first of many THANK YOUS to those who attended and those who wanted to attend but could and but still supported the event in spirit. THANK YOU to Joe@Crevier, Jaime from Meguiar's, and Law and Larry from Invision. You guys are awesome!

Andrea and I enjoyed meeting everyone and spending our weekend with you guys. Thank you all for being so welcoming to Andrea. As Kaefer/Juan stated, it is bittersweet. It's back to reality and no more group meals where we can talk and laugh. No more hanging out with our buddies... until next time.

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!!
