Wave at me when you go through Camarillo! And have fun. My friend and I went last year. Good stuff. The best was the inflatable pub. I hope they have it again this year- it made me laugh.

Well... We didn't see an inflatable pub anywhere. Sorry.

Bill said the games "weren't up to their usual standards", and there were very few cute men in kilts. I did manage to buy some stuff. Overall, somewhat disappointing, but still a fun day.

I'm sad it wasn't up to its usual self. Last year was awesome.

I almost forgot! The Wicked Tinkers (http://www.wickedtinkers.com/) were there. Love me some Tinkers...

We didn't take many pictures, but here are the highlights:

They had some British cars on display:

On the way home, we stopped at the little eatery we used to frequent when Bill still lived in Venice:

Looks like your guy is throwing a hammer. Amazing to watch how far those things go.

I saw the Tinkers last year- good stuff! Crazy, but good music.

Love those cars.
