Well, a big shout out needs to go to Mike and entire Legend Brands team for gathering so many misfits together. There was a terrific amount of time, $$$ and energy that goes into organizing and co-ordinating something like this, and I assure you that it is very much appreciated from the other side of the fence. To get to know people who you only normally see via their online personalities is always interesting and fun.

I apologize as some of the photo's below were taken with my i-phone and they don't take the best images in low light situations.

Crowley doing his stand up routine in front of everyone (not just our crew) at the bar at the Sheraton

I actually just plain apologize for this full stop. This was the final end of his 'performance' :lol: No - Brian isn't drunk in this video - as far as I know....click on the photo and make sure your speakers are turned on :lol:

Great job Jim!

There are a ton of pics still out there. Cameras were going off everywhere. Hopefully everyone will post there's.

I will post the few I took. I screwed up and left my phone chargers at home so the charge only lasted so long.



As far as the video goes....anything for entertainment. :mrgreen:

Is he trying to get that damn bird off of it? I can't blame him.

I just can't help myself Richard.

Hey Chavez,
Tell Steve I apologize for the mistaking him for you. When I said it was you some said with your sharp wit and sense of humor they didn’t realize you were so “physically challenged”

Either way we missed your ugly mug at mikefest this year.

Nice photos. I spent the after hours visiting my kids, looks like I missed some great entertainment.

And Jim, thanks for the gift. It made it home safely and is being enjoyed.
