Well, I did see a bunch of the Wolfsburg West people, even made out a trip out
to Corona Friday looking for a part. But only know those people from talking
to them on the phone. Also, did not see a WW booth at the Classic on Sunday
but they were at OCTO on Saturday.

I was just being nosey because my Wolfsburg West friend was there
playing. I went to the party last year and it was very memorable.
I've got a mildly amusing story about a peculiar conversation that
took place between and eclectic group of people including one very
beautiful he/she person but I'll save that for another time.
Get home safe,
Julie
