My many thanks

First and foremost to Mer...thanks for bringing us all together. Thanks to Justin for having us and to Ashley for taking such good care of all of us. Thanks to anyone taking photos...I would love to have some. Thanks to the other competitors for making me feel welcomed. This was by far and away the best event I have ever been to or participated in. Y'all could not have catered to us any better. Drinks, food, music, and even waited on us at the bench. My only request if that they get an artist bathroom next year. It's a pain to have to wait in line. I stayed very well hydrated...thanks to Wil for keeping on top of us...but it meant I made MANY bathroom runs.

I had a great time. Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting what we do.

Oh yeah, a big and special thanks to Amy...the bartender...hope everyone tipped her well.
