Having trouble with pics at the airport, so for now, how about a quick recap?
The weekend started off with a viewing of The Ride on Friday night. Quite a few Racers attended. Im sure this is not a complete list, but specifically I remember Anita/Arthur, Kent/Vyxsen, Air Steve, Gerard, Clown Al, Rachel (S17) Jonathon Baker & Ray/Deana. (help me here Peach & Chateau!) The movie was great and Phil was charming as always in his Q&A,
Afterwards, the party moved to the outrageous Sagamore Hotel for an outside cocktail party. Way too many Racers to mention, but suffice it to say, it was a fans dream to be there with Racers from every season. We were outside on a beautiful night, next to the pool in the hotels "Video Garden" and it was the perfect spot to begin the weekend festivities. The party was scheduled to end around midnight, but went until almost 2 AM. Everyone seemed to be having a great time reconnecting with old friends, or meeting new ones and comparing stories and memories. It was a fun, laughter (& booze) filled evening.
Saturday was a hangout day. Since most of the guests were all staying at the LOWES hotel, the pool area became the place to be. By midday, we had basically taken over one part of the pool area, and there were just groups of people mingling and socializing all over. Everyone was so friendy and welcoming, and it was truly a fabulous afternoon. So much fun, and great weather too! (and since TAR has a habit of casting really pretty people, seeing everyone in their bathing suits wasnt so bad
.
BVM & Elise were there mingling as well, and although it took me a while to gather the courage, I fianlly did approach him and introduce myself. He was very nice & engaging and really not scary at all.
More to come...
