It was my first time because of the change in date, and it was as perfect as I could have hoped for. Thanks.

Awesome event as always. Parking on the grass made it all the better.

I had never been to the island, so after I set up, I went walking. The island is an amazing place. I spent 3 1/2 hours wandering, taking pictures, checking out all the arts and theater workshops, the Oyster Project, and other small enterprises, the Visitor's Center, the old fortifications and the gorgeous Victorian homes and mansions.
I had lunch at an open-air grille restaurant while looking at Brooklyn Heights. Then I came back to the show and sat under a tree in the shade with a book. Fell asleep. Missed the awards. Found the "People's Choice" award on the driver's seat of my '62. I went back to Julio to personally thank him for a wonderful time.

My camera crapped out at the show. Fortunately, someone else took a pic for me to remember the event by.
