Although my friend Jr. Detailer Woman and I seem to have escaped the pictures

, it was nice renewing some old aquaintances and making some new ones....although this was really more of a DC event...and we showed up late...I somehow won the freebie drawing

(Thank you, Scott at SMP!)
This was a nice low-key event, followed by a nice all-you-could-eat Chinese buffet, and <ah-hem> apparently a lot of beer back at the hotel! Thanks to Steve (Poorboy) and Marj for providing the opportunity to meet up with some fellow Autopians, sample all the Poorboy's products, and get some polishing words of wisdom, war stories, and some business insight from Steve.
As far as I know, there were no heat-related deaths or injuries

...but it was pretty brutal out there!

Other topics of interest...Beercan apparently almost got thrown out for the <edited> logo on his truck (thanks, Rich, for your help with my pop-up awning), the flake was really popping on RoadChief's Mustang, BillD was supposed to call in, reportedly to rub it in that it was cooler in FL today than up here....
