Geez, D, $7 to park? I wish I could say that - and I did it 3 days in a row, too, but I was an exhibitor. Time was precious and I just couldn't afford to wait for 20 or 30 minutes to get into the cheaper lot run by the CC.

Overall I thought it was pretty well run for a 1st time event, talked to an old friend who is one of the organizers, he said next year will be bigger and better. Heard an attendance figure near 8K being bandied about.

Haven't been to MassBass before tho I've wanted to go - will go this year, looks like I'll be with the SWE crew again but will more than likely attend as a civilian (maybe, not sure yet). Maybe we can go up together with a coupla of the other Usual Suspects like Uncle Zeke or Too Tall Babinski.

Talk to ya soon.
