over all we had a great time, competing, and as spectators. i did not make it to all of the after parties. it is more difficult when i live in town, because i would have to find parking and drive home afterwords. it would have been fun if i were staying downtown and could walk to all of the venues, and have a place to rest between the even and the after parties.
I hope you have a blast. I thought about how much fun this would have been a couple years ago, when my beard had grown out, and was fairly long, like a couple years worth. My wife thought I was loosing it,lol. It should be a great time.
