I have just lost the third long post to the evil that is webmail. So I will try a digest. Next year, do what you must, you have to come to Tampa. It is not just the Bulli Brigade show it is a 4 day VW frenzy. A meet and greet Thursday night, and an absolute blow out like you have never seen on Friday night. Kinda like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Steve Chamberlain will wake you up before dawn and make you drive for an hour without letting you get dressed or even pee. I counted 121 split window busses at Bulli Brigade. Steve and Sharon won Best Camper, even without their Coke stuff. 71 busses cruise to the wrong hotel, which is the right hotel but not the right host hotel, but there will be a huge tear the place up party which I didn't see because I am hauling a ton of swap meet stuff for Peter and Kirk, who I am following in a bus with a big loud annoying exhaust leak and they can't find the right hotel. Right about then I need my foil hat because the voices are telling me to kill, kill them all. Then you have to get up early to go to the Bug Jam and you have to make sure to put time in the schedule for being lost and following other VWs who you don't realize that they are also lost. The Bug Jam is huge. Lots of swap stuff. I got Izzy Safari Windows ( the best in the world ), Jan made me buy them. And he even installed them for me. The exhaust leak is fixed for now. Tomorrow I make for Atlanta. I am tired and I wanna go home now.
