That's all I had from the Con 2002. I have some really crappy pics from the 1st con in 2000. (I've posted those before here)

You sure those pics are from 2000. Looks like the 70s to me.

That's what I was thinking.  And it would be more difficult to guess who the country singer in the cockpit is if it didn't say Sabre on the side.

Phantom.   This guy drank more beer on the night of this pic than I've ever seen anyone consume ever.  And then he drove home!






Puck:






Thank Christ for name badges:






The big guy in the foreground is Urchin.  I dont remember the name of the other fella.






As you can see, Phantom is doing what everyone does at convention dinners and is describing his last overtaking manouver on the freeway.  I think.  That scrawny fella on the left is Udie.

There were no squeekers; they weren't born yet. That is one of the defining criteria.
