Thanks,

Well, it was hot enough today. I was wearing a long sleeved t-shirt, and a wide brim fedora (taken off for the photo) and I still got sunburnt on the back of my hands. And the back of my neck. Ouch!

But, no complaints. I'd do it all over again for the chance to meet such great people!

Thanks for posting that great picture. I must say that it was a real pleasure to meet and chat with the rabble. My daughter, Pink Death, who of course wore her namesake kilt, was amazed at how many people asked to take her photo. Oh, the difficulties of being a minor celebrity.
