I had a fantastic time at the show, and I want to thank the guys at Paradise and the many volunteers they had for making it great.

 

I even had the pleasure of bumping into several board members (not just the local Toronto guys), so that was a real treat.

 

Thanks to everyone!

I had a blast at this as well. Kind of got a different perspective since I volunteered for the show this time around. Was glad I did. Had a totally different experience because of it.

 

As a side note-- AlexH is one of the classiest guys ever. I don't think it's aprropriate to tell either story that caused me to say this-- but kudos to him nonetheless.

 

Was good seeing everyone there as well. Got to meet a couple new board members as well as the usual suspects that I really don't see often enough.

 

Big thanks to Peter and Doug for another great show. I really didn't think my opinion of either of them could be any higher, but if it were possible surely it would be.
