Well, the weekend was perfect, the attendees were great, the Moraine View campground hosts were down on their game, but overall it was a great time for all. Yes the regulars were there and a couple of folks not expected also showed.
For those of you who didn't make it, we did our first movie night on Friday. Who would think that an Airstream would make a good movie screen. Thanks to Flamingo-Kid1 for the use of her silver screen! And we finally saw Animal House....toga toga toga! Thanks to Flamingo-Kid1 for supplying the pop corn. Thanks also to Silvertwinkie for supplying the PC, LCD projector and sound system.
Saturday brought out the tours and everybody spiffed up their trailers for the expected visitors. That evening the pot luck supper was held and as usual no one went away hungry. Thanks for the good food everyone. We had problems with the format of the Airstream DVD that I made
and Zamboni supplied his PC which was able to read it ok. So Saturday night was the complilation of Jack's Airstream shows recorded at home, and as the late night feature we watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
Man was it cold that night and a lot of us were wrapped in blankets as we watched.
The weather? Well needless to say it was the best we have ever had. No need for Air Conditioners and each morning was down in the low 50's. I don't think we had any major catastophies, other than a microwave that doesn't want to pop popcorn and Tikihut having some sewer issues
ohmy,
, hmm... is the right lever the gray tank or is it the left?
Big Al came the furthest, all the way from Canada, and for good measure put brakes on his trailer while he was there. As a matter of fact he has one of the few "officially" painted Airstreams sold. Pretty neat. Other improvements of note done on premise was the replacement of a noisy new Bambi refrigerator fan with two high tech silent air movers.
Oh and don't forget the dogs! We had are usual assortment highlighted by Flamingo-Kid1's pooch wearing a hula skirt and beach cap, and Cosmotini's dog whose collar contained a cell phone sized GPS that would phone home if he strayed beyond his appointed territory!
Thanks to Zamboni, who again supplied the neat signs for all of you attendees who signed up ahead of time. Those bringing their signs from last year got our 2005 decals. Zamboni also supplied some extra giveaways to some of our superlative attendees.
I'll post some pictures when I get time. I think you will find the movie ones interesting, to say the least.
My giveaway to all was my test AIR decal, so everybody should be sporting their AIR signatures on their tow vehicle or trailer.
Thanks everybody for coming, it wouldn't be anything without you. We will do it again next year (#4!) so keep the eyes peeled for the announcement next January, and like always, get those reservations in early!
Regards,
Jack
