What, no one is talking about the results of the jello shot contest?

This was a seriously good time, if y'all can, plan for this event, same time next year.

Regards,

Wade B

Yes, it might make it there, but can it make it back?

Got home around 11:30pm, after a bout with the windshield wiper linkage at the Illinois/Indiana border (wipers stopped working, long stretch of highway with no civilization close by, long story). Very inopportune during the torrential monsoon/remnants of Rita we encountered most of the way home. Other than that she served me well like she always has.

I've got pics too, but still have to load and resize them. My body says, "No, go to bed now...." so I will post them tomorrow.

Thank you so much all, from my brother and myself, for an extremely good time. This event is GREAT!
Chuck and I talked about things Renntreffen all the way home. You guys in the KCWS have a really special thing going and are very fortunate. And it was truly great to meet so many new faces and see some familiar ones again. I won't ever miss this event from now on, and I'm spreadin' the word. See ya' tomorrow................

User 41221

Well, since no one else is saying it, I will. Look for a separate post announcing the real Jello Shot Sensei!

Glad you made it to Renntreffen and back, Wade, and it was great to meet Chuck as well. One of the highlights for me over the weekend was the jam session on Friday.

Regards,

Wade B

Yes, definitely a highlight for me too.
We have audio of the session on Sat. night. Have yet to listen to it.
So maybe next year some of the musical participants won't opt for looping through Canada (award-whoring?) and will maybe get there in time to get in on the Fri. session.......

More pics..............

Lin's presentation speech was GREAT!!!


Michelle takes the poker run.........


THIS is what Jello does to you when administered by Dr. Kervorkian......(hair on your chest there, Mike?)

Mighty Shilling

What? Scott got ANOTHER Porsche? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn....

Wade B

Now THIS I didn't understand.......
If you guys had been with us Karl, you would have SWORN this couldn't be possible!!!!!!

SenseiMary

Perhaps there could have been a "Jam Session Part 2" for those of us "award ******" (or were you too far gone at that point from the pre-jello shot tasting event?)

MichelleJD

Now that I have the GPS maybe I can figure my way there!!

User 41221

Did either of y'all get to use the GPS units yet? I am curious what you think of them. I need to post up a list of our sponsors, but I thought it was very cool that they came up with two GPS units for door prizes!

Regards,

MichelleJD

I played with mine on the way home. You need to be able to mark waypoints first, so I couldn't use it for the route home. However, it was neat to be able to compare the Ford speedo for accuracy against the GPS. Mary, you go girl!!!!

Wade B

Yeah, Chuck was doing the same with his on the way home. My speedo was spot on with what the GPS was saying.

Funny story though....
When we got out of the car, in the rain, in the place where the initial windshield wiper failure occured, the air was filled with the smell of un-harvested cannabis. Even in the pouring rain. Smelled like some potent stuff. Now it was mentioned that if we had been so inclined, we could have marked the way point and returned and.....

....no, spending time in an Indiana jail don't sound as fun as the 'Treffen......

SenseiMary

Nothin' like tempting fate with Missour's finest....when can we do that again?
(Only this time, the V8's got to be the one.....)
