It'll be at the Doubletree Hotel where i used to have lots of fun at in the 80's running up and down the halls at fashion shows with my Nikon and Vivitar in one hand and a highball in the other. Such memories. Blindfolded I could find any bathroom or bar in the whole hotel. But that was then. Now they've remodeled the place and changed the name and I stay home and watch television. I'd drink but i keep forgetting to buy booze. Maybe i should write it on my hand with a ballpoint. I need a better laundry list. And if i bring it home i cant remember where i put it. My liquor shelf is now my dried beans and flour shelf. But these guys are more fun then me: Here's what's happening the first three days, Wednesday the 2nd to Friday the 5th. Wednesday, October 2 REGISTRATION 6:00 9:00 p.m. Not much reason to show up on Wednesday. But I always showed up a week in advance in the past five years, the annual meetings I've attended.
