And don't forget:
9/4/05 - Sacramento BugOrama
9/9 thru 9/11/05 - Jerome Jamboree, Jerome, AZ & WetWesties ReUnion, Union,
OR
Burning Man's in there somewhere too, but I don't much care for the anarchy,
akalai dust, etc., I mean I live full-time in my Westy and it's a full-time
job keeping it clean as it is ;-)
Just too much to do and not enough September I guess.....
