A shout-out to Elwood72... Rob & I were able to meet up for some drinks and a fun evening at the SciFi convention Buster & I went to last week north of Baltimore. I'm happy to report Rob's a great guy to hang with and fun was had by all!

I've had a chance to meet 5b or 6 fellow BBC members now over the past few years, and it's always been a great time. I'm still sorry I won't get to the big Bluesmobile meet-up next month but I'll be lifting a glass!

LOL... Well, you take the bad with the good! Pretty good chance we'll be back for another convention in mid-February, Rob, I'll let you know. (Just down the road in Timonium that time if we go.) We probably won't be doing the Blues Brothers suits next time (and may leave the Bluesmobile at home in the snow!)....

A photographer we met down there (scifigeek dot info) posted a bunch of photos from karaoke night... I've re-posted them (with his permission) to my Flickr pages.

Here's Rob (Elwood72) on the left, with Buster, "Captain Dick" (another Blues Brothers fan we ran into at the place), and me:

And, a bit later after Dick had gone and changed into his suit, rolling back and forth:

....and I also want to take a moment to thank you guys for the encouragement in regards to whatever semblance of a singing voice I may still have.It inspired me,and it meant a lot.
