Are  you the guy with the demented look?

I was demented at the 1992 convention. I had stayed up all night after eating a big dinner and knocking back pitchers of Foster's with Stephen McParland and Sean MacCreavy and others from the UK who drank like fish as I was struggling to maintain an upright position in my chair. Really good people and a lotta fun to be around.

Damn right, I've been here 7 weeks and haven't seen Fosters anywhere -back in the UK their adverts make you believe that Australians drink nothing else!

Back when I lived in Halifax, in Yorkshire, England, Fosters was brewed there.  You're on the wrong continent, mate!

In addition to the conventions, there was a multi-day series of fan gatherings in association with the dedication of the Beach Boys Historic Landmark in Hawthorne, CA in 2005. Not to mention numerous CWF events in the L.A. area -- I've been to all but one of those; also the Dennis Wilson Bash in Santa Monica.

I still wanna know what Marilyn said about SMiLE! Or rather, her version of it...it's always possible it's not definitive.

As related to me later it was "Ah, you must be Mikie - AGD told me you ask that... and yes, I know about Brian & Sherri".  Grin

Thanks, catbirdman and bgas.  I had a blast at all three.

FWIW, there are a bunch of people who were at all three of my conventions, and David and Carrie are two of them.  Who else can say they were at all three?  Quite a few people, actually...how many will check in here?

I was there for all three.  But I have to agree that the first was the best or the three.  The music was obscenely good.

And don't forget the lion trainer!
