The last week was way more than I could ever have expected. Thanks Tom and Elaine for putting on such a wonderful event. It was awesome to finally meet so many of you. It was the most fun that I have had since I was a kid.

Stopped in OKC for the night, easy drive home tomorrow, but I have my netbook up... so thought I'd pop in and say THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!! Tom and Elaine, Barry, Cindy, Kevin, Ivan, Dale, Don, Moch, Jared, Megan, Ron, the WHOLE GA crew, anyone else who helps make AGI happen I unfortunately missed in my list, sorry, but thank you all the same!

Oh, and thanks to Jaimie, Aymee, Alex V, julz, and Na for making the alcohol happen :) The beer is NOT included in the cost of the ticket, and these guys take on the challenge every year, so raise one to them when you get a chance! (and give them money for beer)

I had a great time and the week is just now starting to wear off (sadly) but i totally am looking forward to next year!

Will post my pics when I get home, I didn't get many tho.

Was great to see everyone again, and meet the new guys (and girls) see you again soon!!!

The World Would Be A Much Better Place If We Had More People Like The Doner's In It.

This Is By Far The Most Generous Couple I Have Ever Met.
I Could Sit Hear And Babble On All Day Long About Their Great Attitude And Spirit But Words Just Will Not Describe The Kind Of People That They Really Are.

The Tom And Elaine's Of The World Are Quickly Becomming Extinct. (we Could All Use A Life Lesson From Those Two)

Tom And Elaine, I Will Never Miss One Of Your Events Again. It Was A True Honor To Be Part Of This One. Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart.

Thanks For Letting A Bunch Of Degenerates Run Around Your Massive Property, Gettin Crazy For A Week. By Far, The Best Time Of My Life.

Later,

What a great event! This was my first AGI and it was beyond all expectations. A big thanks to Tom and Elaine for working so hard to make this event possible. Their vision and generosity is beyond words. As a first timer, I was really impressed by everyone who pitched in to make this event possible - Kevin and the kitchen crew, Dale, Andrew, Doug, Barry, Cindy, the demo artists and everyone else - Thank You!

I can't wait for AGI 2011! We had a planning meeting after everyone left and the ideas are already overflowing.

I'm still tired, but got the torch hooked up tonight. I had a blast. It was great to see so many old friends and meet so many new ones. I may even get brave at the torch and try some of the stuff I got to see!
