Definitely a great show with tons of great looking buses. Here was my favorite:
Thanks to everyone involved in putting on the show.

Great time! Thanks for organizing this! Here's a quick video of from the top of the stadium. We took a ton of pics but my camera is on its way home a little later than me...

I would like to thank the OCTO Gang for a great time. I rode down with Mr. Brian P. I only got to spend a short time in my old childhood hood. But really felt at home. Thank you Charlie H. for your great hospitality, pizza and stuff. I am still grining ear to ear. To Justin, Lou, Robert Skinner, Brian P, Hippie Tim, Nate, Fresno James, Nick,and so many others people. Thanks for all the VW bus love and kindness, and help you all have given to me. I will leave the light on. For all you any time you are in my area. No bad Days!

@Bethany 59
How did you get up& into the stadium? I walked around but all the gates looked locked up tight, guess I should've tried harder 
& I agree with Johnny O! Great time at OCTO & Charlie's after! Always fun to see all of our VW friends family 
Does anyone have a count on how many buses were at the show? |

Right place at the right time....walked through a gate while a runner was walking out
Lots more pics to come eventually! I took about 300 I think. We had a great time running around shooting Jason has such a great eye that the two of us together make a great team. Check it out below...

Great shots Bethany! Now I missed nothing. Seeing you last weekend and viewing your photography now should get me by for a couple months without you!  Bradford

@Resurrection..great pics! I spotted myself a couple times in aerial spy photos..
Another great show, happy to see Hot Dog Fred back doing his thing!
Anybody get the info from the guy w/ the new version of the model year license plate frames? They look real nice, really vintage. I ran out of time and couldnt make it back to pick one up.
No raffle wins this time...oh well. The cash goes to a good cause.
See ya in June!

i saw two judsons there, one was $800, the other was $1000. lind had one, lou v. had the other, neither were complete.
big shout out to the OCTO crew once again. i really like how the show was laid out and organized. i wish i could go more often but this was one of the the better ones in the last 12 years that i have gone to.
thanks again! charlie, the beard, ed, rich (those are the only guys i know) and all the other peeps who made it so enjoyable and smooth.

sweet pics from up on the stadium!
You know, I never saw that grey sunroof standard. It is in the lower left of this pic, and I was parked just over from it, with the striped westy awning, next to the big top later westy tents.
Great show!
