I want to publicly acknowledge the monumental efort made by Rom, Adam, Bill et al on our behalf. Being a newbie at these meetings I was made to feel like I'd known all for many years.

The only almost bummer was that today on my return trip American Airlines tried to charge me an extra $50.00 today for excess weight in my suitcase (due to the over 100 DVDs -Blue Rays, WB Box set, various anime tiles and tons of screeners) - [I was carrying 2 bags on the plane as carry-on also]. It weighted 53.5 lbs with an allowable maximum of 50 lbs.

After giving the counter lady a nice smile, she gave me a slap in the hand, told me not to do it again, and waived the surcharge.

Again this was a FANTASTIC and GREAT event!

Thanks again!

PS: I'll be sending Ron some of the pictures I took so that he can post them in the forum.
