Trex,
I could not have said it better. Without sounding too corny, I feel that I made some great friendships this past weekend -- friendships that I hope will last past the ownership of a car. We had a wonderful time with some warm, careing, wonderful folks, and I can't wait to do this all over again. (Looks like JV is stepping up to the plate. I can be put right back on deck, really. I had a blast, and would love to host it again.)
Even if you don't own an X5, anymore, you should try to make it to DC if/when JV organizes the next meet. Would love to finally meet you!
So great to hear from you again! As you know, I had planned to attend your gig this past summer, but I had that whole cancer thing to deal with.
Juan
