These are some great shots. I envy all you americans who get to go to all these cool expos and gatherings. Here in the UK there are very few interesting events. Ho hum, I’ll stay in tune via bloggers like yourself. I came here via your tweet by the way. Keep up the good work!

I just thought I should let you know that I love your photos. They’re so colorful.
And it’s not Americans who get to go to cool expos, it’s San Franciscans.

Brilliant pics, Scott. And not just the one of me. Though that one is quite glamorous as well; especially my gut. Thanks.

I like how the first spoken words among the videos were “playa dust”
There are so many hobbyists like this in Ontario but they never seem to have cool conventions
