Blogger Palooza Spo Shirt Raffle

Dr. Spo brought one of his handmade shirts for the raffle.  Ron took the basket of raffle tickets over to Java, and she drew Doug's name!

Dr. Spo was then crowned with dragon horns, and he had a few words to say!

Blogger Palooza - LET'S EAT!

Time to go through the buffet line and get our vittles!  Delicious roast pork tenderloin with aus jus, broccoli rabe, potatoes, and beer bread.  Enjoy, but it's not polite to drool!

Blogger Palooza Get Acquainted

Barry and I arrived Friday afternoon and checked in following Jay, Java, and Superman.  Ron was there welcoming us also, though he was not behind the reception desk working on this evening.

Barry and I went up to our second floor corner room overlooking Gilligan's Restaurant and the Lewes-Rehobeth Canal.

The room was large and had two windows on each side.  There was a sitting area with a flat screen TV, which was great for watching March Madness while we were there.

We decided to go down below to the Gilligan's Restaurant for dinner.  The chef's special was crab cake with mashed potatoes and asparagus.  It was the largest (softball size) and best (all lump crab meat) crab cake I have ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot of crab cakes on the Delmarva peninsula over the years.  For starters we had fried onion petals with a delicious chipotle dip.

After dinner we went up to Cubby's suite for the pre-Palooza meet and greet.  They were serving great Cosmos.

In the picture are Java, Cubby, Jay, and Barry.

Java took this picture with Anne Marie and myself seated on the sofa. 

While we were there, Dr. Spo and Someone arrived and everyone got all excited all over again!  Most of them had not had dinner yet while waiting for the dignitaries; so they went out to dinner.  Since Barry and I had already had dinner, we went back to the room to watch more games on March Madness!

Watch this space on coming days for four videos that I made of the big night!
