We missed you, Don, and talked about you on numerous occasions.  You would have been proud of this baby you helped birth.  Lots of top spinning action for 3 solid hours.  Adults on the grass.  Kids on the cement.  Spectators with their lawn chairs off to the side.  Sure wish you could have seen it in person but we are trying to describe it all so you can visualize it.  Thanks for everything you did to help get this all started.

Jay captured this picture and posted on the festival's site, and I need all the memory aids I can get so here are the attendees

from left to right
back row:
John Buechele, Beau Compton (RunBMC), Chris Agee (Hpsi Epsi), Mike Hout, Mark Hayward, Chris O'Neil (RiotDiscoMan), Alex Ayers (Apex), Brandon Jackson, Jorge Alcoz (ta0)

front row:
Takeshi Kamisato (Takeshi), Bryan Hemingway (hemingsoft), John Markus (Johnm), Aaron Wade (physboy2357), Hank Freeman

It was great for me to meet all of you!

To complete the friendly attendance competition, compare to the Flatlands gathering.  I hope both events continue to grow.

Let's not forget Tai-Min who had to leave early:



Mark is the only one to make it to the three big events so far this year.
