Bummer. I would like to meet the man/woman who called me an a$$hole and insisted I was selling model car kits. Or have we met already?

Drove up saturday morning, and had to make a quick run back to LA after the show.. unfortunately i missed the raffle prize and the bbq. Who konws what kind of treasures i could have won with my raffle tickets. Very much regretted that decision when traffic on the way back home almost gave me a heart attack. Show was great and had a great time seeing familiar and new faces. I'm almost running out of dutch chocolate. I know i should have picked up more.

Here is my video of the days events.
