Alles. Tom (my wife's ex and a good guy) had many leftover airmiles and sent me a ticket so that we could attend RustyQ 2004. That was where we met a diverse bunch of MB fanatics. Some of whom were surprised to find that MA has a few republicans. There was craft beer in abundance and great food for all. Good time. I still have the soft beer can holder with "Rusty-Q 2004" on it. Wow, am I old.
