Going down one of those hills a state trooper just about got me. Luckily my radar detector went off and there was a trailer truck in the fast lane for me to hide behind.

Ah, this is my first year so I wasn't sure what to expect. Having food available was nice for sure, it was just pricey. Something that would be kinda nice (IMO) would be a roving vendor cart with the stickers, shirts, drinks, etc. on it. The vendor area was pretty packed most of the day. If they just had a couple of golf carts roaming around with the IA gear and some water or something I feel like that would do pretty well and would be convenient.

Ill pass this onto the organizers. The carts that were roaming around this year were either vendors (Zero Lift) or people who brought their own. That super long cart was one someone brought in. They are already in rough planning for next year, it could be a 3 day event next year, Friday night could, potentially, possibly, might be 1/4 drags on the track. But that's a 1 day after IA'11 idea, there is a whole year to think about that.

I haven't made it home yet. I did make it to work though. :)

I was about falling asleep around midnight so I ended up staying in Columbus (about 3 hours from my house) and drove to work straight from Columbus this morning.

But anyways - very nice meet, definitely worth the 1,000+ mile drive! Very nice meeting everyone and seeing some of you again - and Jenn, thanks again a million for lending me your house and hospitality!!

She met up with us at the Hyatt around 6pm. She apparently felt like touring the city of Nashville first before showing up.

Essentially once she got on the road and all she thought that it was located somewhere else so she was a ways away by the time she was in the area.

Yeah - what he said.

That's what I get for thinking I know everything because I'm local (moderately)

Yeah, I finally got there around 5:30ish .... I think .... I drove around Nashville for a while thinking it was in the same place as the fall. Since everyone said "It's in Nashville" - well, Lebanon and Nashville are two completely different places so my blonde self wasted about an hour leading the guys around Nashville looking for IA. But yeah, got there late and then went to the pub and drove around Nashvegas for a while with everyone. I was glad to see everyone, it was fun :D Looking forward to next year even more now! And I have a new place to go on the weekends; that pubs f'n pickles are amazing. FOR REAL. haha

It actually really sucked. Everyone there were a-holes, dirty, smelled of cabbage, and kept stealing peoples valve stem caps.

A great group of people to meet and I will always remember it even if it wasn't earth shattering when it came to what we did...nothing super special, just good people and good fun.

oh yeah, before I forget, the waitress at the Irish Pub was hot too
