It was a very nice time, and thankfully you didn't swim, or it may have ruined it for all of us

 

RHG and his family were gracious hosts and the books were stellar!

Some of the kewlist guys with some of the awesomest funny books in the world. :cloud9:

 

Big MANNUP kudos to ciorac, who whipped out one eye popping high grade GA key after another to waltz through his initiation like he was a finalist in Dancing With the Stars. (worship)

 

The thing that stood out about this year's gathering, was the diversity of goodies brought out for group perusal, collectibles of all sorts rarely seen anywhere in high grade. Absolutely astounding and memorable.

 

Huge thanks to Peter and his wonderful wife for sponsoring the event of the season. Oscars may have been in short supply, but for the lucky nominees it sure felt like the red carpet treatment. :foryou:

Herr Doktor, the Professor Love was a new participant this year and started off the session with a sweet set of romance books including the very first, Young Romance.

Sorry for the out of focus shot. :sorry:

 

 

This pic is just SCREAMING for a caption.

 

"Herr Doktor, the haughty professional, teases his nervous supplicant with the promise of more "Young Romance"."

 

 

 

The first toast at this gathering had better have been to "absent friends". :foryou:
