I just got home after spending a few days in Chicago after the event so I haven't really had a chance to sit down and get my thoughts together--otherwise this would have come much sooner! I can't thank everyone who organized this event enough, you guys do so much for the raptor community and it doesn't go unnoticed! I also can't high five those of us who took advantage of this event enough, every time I've passed a raptor the last few days I couldnt think of anything but how dumb they were for passing up such an awesome event. Every single person I met up there was freakin awesome, it was almost like we had all been friends for years. And the knowledge passed on to me could not be bought, that is for sure. As Scarrjack said this was my first GLRE event but will surely not be the last.
It was nice to meet you. Funny how you introduced yourself as Gilligan too. I was just talking to someone about how odd it really is that we all are close because we have the same truck.
