I have really enjoyed reading everyone's comments so I thought I would add mine. First off, it was really good to see so many friends from the board. Bobby, Cynthia, Mrspantherfan, the Rossers, and there are others Im sure so please forgive me if I missed your name. Secondly, I want to thank Greg Price. I had the chance to talk to him briefly in the hallway but I wanted to come here and say it again... THANK YOU! What you do, as Ive said before, is make dreams come true. In a way youre like a modern day Walt Disney. I mean, to me, Fanfest is our Disneyland but every year brings something new and different and wonderful. I know that sounds like major butt kissing but its how I feel. I mean this year I met so many people I never thought I would... especially Roddy Piper! I have been wanting to meet him for years and because of Greg I finally have. I know there are rumblings that next year may be the last and all I can say is I hope and pray not. I cannot begin to imagine how much it takes to get this together and pull it off every year. I cannot imagine how much it takes out of you but I do know how much I love it. I have talked to people and they say "I would love to go to Australia" or I would love to go to England". Well there is no place in the world that I would rather be than Fanfest. I want to thank the vendors for bringing so many great guests. The guys at LOTR were great. I have been wanting to meet the Iron Sheik forever and they made it happen. The look on Sheiky's face when I showed him my old school picture of himself and Danny Hodge was priceless. He just went on and on. He was like a kid at Christmas. I think I hit every guest they had. I want to thank the guys for bringing in Bobby Heenan. How awesome was that? He is one of the greatest of all time and I actually got to shake his hand. My girl definitely was glad to see Matt Morgan, as I know Mrspantherfan was to lol. He was really cool and he even remembered her from an event in Concord last year. Of course how could I not mention sitting in the lobby while Ole held court. I never get tired of that. My fanfest experience is never complete without stopping by and hanging out with him for a while. Then there was Tony Atlas. How great is this guy? We had about an hour long conversation in the lobby about race that was pretty interesting to say the least lol. There were so many things that happened over the weekend but these are just a few. Anytime I talk wrestling with anybody I always mention Fanfest. No matter who it is I always say that if you are a true wrestling fan then you owe it to yourself to be there. Well Im gonna wrap this up. Again, to all the boardies it was great seeing you again. To all the people I ran into or b.s.'d with it was nice hanging out with you also. Greg, thank you so much and I cannot wait until next year! Thank you guys for taking the time to read this and I hope you all had as much of a great time as I did. Tony
