It was HOT back there!

I find that difficult to believe given the high humidity levels you have there. Ugh.

It's quite cool and dry here in California. Although it's supposed to get really hot soon. It'll be a dry heat. Stuff really will burst into flames if it's windy too.

Road trip!

How about Lebanon, Kansas?

Just outside of town is a marker and a park designating it as the center of the lower 48 states. Everyone drives to the middle of the country and we set up CanJam 2009 there.

Mazz, I deeply regret not conversing with you at Can-Jam. I must atone.

I think I saw those in the room as I was packing up. On the table. I figured you knew they were there, but I guess not. All my junk was piled up in front of them so my bad.

Why don't we just all pile in Wayne's new huge *** RV and do a cross country national meet.
It is an amazing vehicle, but max full comfortable capacity would have to be like 7 people. Maybe 10-12 if no-one plans on sleeping in a horizontal position. Amazingly though, the dash control is showing 9.8 MPG. I think that's better than an H2 .

Hmmm... any chance someone picked them up? Can someone call the hotel for me to see if they have them?
