<VV> Conventions

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

I was there in Ventura in 2008 (CORSA West put it on); heard NO complaints  
on VV about it.  BTW, maybe I'm getting confused in my old age, but wasn't  
the Buffalo convention in 2009; I remember the 2010 convention being in 
Sterling  Heights, wanted to go (I have a cousin living on 15 Mile Road) but 
couldn't  swing the finances and didn't want to drive from L.A.

Why are  we talking about 2006? Buffalo was a great convention in my book. 
In a year  are we going to start talking about Ventura? And by the way 
Ventura was also a  great convention.
