I know. I let everyone know. I honestly hope 86fest was good for you man. New doors can be great doors. I'm in full support of you guys getting bigger and better.

If you don't want anyone knowing who you are you better start working on your accent and start drinking beer not in green bottles. LOL!

I was thinking the same thing. The accent is a dead give away.

I kinda think based on the other thread I'll be busy again next year, not sure if the crowds changed since I used to venture out to meets or I have got older and busier but nothing about what I read on this forum (or any other forum) motivates me to use my free time hanging out somewhere then to read a bunch of **** about it a few days later with all the 12 year old keyboard ninjas going at it with a few adding a stir to keep the **** pot turning.

What you're seeing is the reaction of 2 people that were not there and 2 people that don't know what went on. So 4-6 people. There were 404 people there that had a great time. Including the ones stirring the pot. Including me.

If you want to be a part of it next year that's on you. If you don't it's on you. But this was probably the most successful event we've ever had since I've been coming... in EVERY way. The charity donation is massive. The vendors were happy. It's all this online stuff that's bringing it down.

This was my 5th year in a row, and one of the best, if not the best year.

This was at least my 9th or 10th year and by far the best. Still needs a little tweeking, like it probably always will. But it was by far the best yet.

It sounded like it was a great event. What's all this drama about anyway? I think I missed some thread or something? Though probably shouldn't be too surprised as there is drama every year no matter how well the event goes.

Either way, I was very sad to have missed the event for the first time in many years. I'll definitely be back at the next one.

honestly... you missed out. It was a good one. I'm really sorry to hear about you kid. I'm everyone is on the mend.

Was looking forward to seeing that gtr.

I honestly think the event was about a 99% success. The drama is just that drama. It's gone. Hopefully it'll fade away and anything that matters can be handled person to person. It was honestly a very sad ordeal.

We'll be making a thread on the charity portion when it's all done. Then we'll move on to a close out meeting where we'll talk about the goods, bads and what people bring up in this thread and decide where it goes from here. Including who goes with it and who doesn't.

it was a great day for a great cause. I'm stoked to release the charity total.

Maybe it was a contributing factor, but not the decision maker
