Back in 2003, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the AH Convention at Indianapolis, but had mislaid the photos I took at the time. I probably did post them in the forums but I think they were all deleted when there was a purge on attachments. Then, over this last weekend we were doing some tidying and I came across some old CDs, one of which said it contained photos of the 2003 convention! I was starting to doubt I had ever been so it came as a great relief to see all these photos.
I was Head CM in the CM team at the and I was told all others in my position in previous years had attended, and that I should do the same.
I decided to fly into New York as it was far cheaper than going direct to Indianapolis, and I was very kindly offered a lift from there by Dux, so quite a few of my photos are of the journey there and back, including overnight stays each way.
I had never been so far away from home before and it was wonderful to meet everyone I had only met in-game before. My former squad CO, Wax, my right-hand-man in the CM Team, Ghostdancer - and of course Hi-Tech! - as well as many others. Not forgetting the organiser and person who persuaded me to make the trip, Jordi, along with his lovely wife Terri.
It was a wonderful weekend that I will never forget. 🥰
