It's Wednesday night, 10 p.m. (MDT), and the few early folks have retired to the bar.
I think Ari Rankum gets the Microsleep award for running at FJR nominal speeds from Maryland straight here....in an amount of time that makes even me the LD guy blush and would even raise the eyebrow of FJR max guru SkooterG.
Packets are stuffed including the yet-unknown-design t-shirts. The reflective sticker I commissioned Alex Johnson to make look seriously cool.
I can Duff and his SO by the pool table gesticulating grandly, FJRChik is holding court in the corner, and Fairlaner is spending equal time fisting a pounder and his cell phone. I haven't digested all the details, but his house was broken while he was gone and he's dealing long distance with the fallout of a trashed house.
The others.......all the staff except me are in their rooms. I'm headed there myself in just a few minutes.
Warchild is fast asleep I'm sure after making good time from Washington.... is getting hisuglybeauty sleep to be ready for tomorrow. I saw Toe earlier...guessing he's zoned.
TWN is wandering the social scene being a credit to his rallymaster profession.
I signed a witness form for TriggerT that got a Bun Burner Gold and twistedcricket.
The hotel also has a gaggle of civilians including a couple of cute soccer mom/cougars in the corner. One has cubs with them....so they seem to remain unmolested. Hyundai corporate people are here too until tomorrow I believe.....a bunch of their cars in the back parking lot.
What's clear is that tomorrow starting at 8 a.m.......there will be about 250 more people descending on this place through the day to have a great weekend.
Last plug for the event....if anybody wants to rally last minute to Golden....send me a PM and we might be able to accommodate. There are some additional hotel rooms I know and I know one person I talked to earlier this evening that's rallying out from AZ.
Signing off from the Night Before NAFO 1. It's gonna rock! And expect more stories and pictures to follow.
