Spent a little while at the show, only took a few pix.
Met John April (above), and chatted with a number of the usual suspects.
Aldo's minions were there - where do I get one of those hoodies??
Had a lovely chat with Chuck Gedraitis, whom I didn't realize was local.

'71 Commando modelled a few pieces...
