I am perishing with jealousy. David Kinch is going to be there.

I meet up with david during the event - actually he really helped me out.

My food didn't make it with me as Alaska Airlines wouldn't let me board the plane with styrofoam boxes. This is crazy - they said that they were flammable so I was given a card board box. Which ISN'T ??? strange.

So I repacked everything - only to get hassled at Agriculture asking where everything was from - was it cooked blah blah blah - and finally made it to the plane with 3 seconds left and my food never made the plane.

So we had to go shopping with 3 hours to go -

Pineapples

Avocado

Jalapeno

Red onion

spring onion

potato

etc etc

celery salt

Coho Salmon

Everyone helped me who could, David Kinch quickly seared the salmon, 6 of us did bruniose of all the salad items and just made it.

Not to be repeated!!! turned out to be alot of fun

I'm glad it worked out. I'm still jealous.

I'm so jealous too! Beautiful venue- I saw the Violent Femmes there about 4 years ago.
