QUOTE(michael7810 @ Mar 13 2018, 08:13 PM)  1,877 miles PHX to Helen, Okteenerfest is on my bucket list and this might be the year. Let me know at Route 66 if you plan to drive Tail of the Dragon (about 100 miles north of Helen). I'll bring a map I have of the area showing other nice driving roads in that area, some nicer and less crowded than the Dragon. |

OK.. I am going to bump this thread because I have to tell y'all about the dream I just had. I have been pushing really hard on my car to get it up and running for the trip, so maybe that affected the dream.
Betty and I were at the hotel in Helen, GA trying to pack the cars to come home from Okteenerfest, but we are encountering a bit of resistance. Bob Saville and Bill Dunster are dressed in Pink Tutus, including pink tights. Above the waist they are dressed in smoking jackets which are smoking more than the cigars in their mouths. They are throwing already cooked steaks (medium rare) at us. Nadine is in a black full formal floor length dress, including the elbow length black gloves, yelling at them to get out of the way. OK. I agree. I have WEIRD dreams. But it is about 914s and Okteenerfest so I had to share it. |

I was planning to attend and after reading about that dream attendance is a must. Dreams do come true and I got to see that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Stephen, calling you a world class artist doesn't do you or your work justice.
In your latest tour de force, your depiction of Bob and Bill speaks of your ability to convey feeling through gesture and expression, a la Rembrandt. The gentle, ethereal smoke wafting from their 'smoking' jackets demonstrates your supreme mastery of the depiction of light, only hinted at in works by J. M. W. Turner or Delacroix. The... whatever it is... peeking out... immediately calls to mind the surrealism of Dali or even the palette of Van Gogh (during his 'Pink' phase of course). And those floating steaks - they just revel in the thought provoking artistry of Magritte. Finally; there is your piece de resistance - the pink tutu gracing Bill's form. It just shouts of Toulouse-Latrec's wondrous ballet themed masterpieces. I bow to your artistry. I salute your mastery of the artsy-fartsy stuff. You Sir - are an Artistic God Among Men!

I was thinking the floating steaks were more Dali-esque and the whatever peeking out was more of a Ron Jeremy influence during his pink phase.... in theory anyway... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Sorry Betty! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Thinking of going to the event, but can't find out how/where to register. When I click on the link in the signature line to Okteenerfest 2018, all I get is the info for last year. I signed up for the email link but never get anything. Is it still on?
