Since I was unable to get to Portland I was hoping to read a number of
reports from those who were there. Was anybody besides Dean there?
:-)
I did see a lot of pictures on the Tri-County Facebook page but it is
always a lot better reading about friends enjoying themselves instead of
just strangers pictures posted without comment.

On a side note, if I am feeling better in a week or so are there any shows
coming up in east central Indiana or west central Ohio in September or
October?
