Virginia 10th District Convention report, pt 2
(click on photos for larger images)
This will be broken into a few reports, I think, so the large number of images don't have to be loaded into one gigantic molasses-slow extended entry.
Getting there was half the adventure in itself!
No, I don't mean getting to the Wakefield School in The Plains - I mean getting from the parking to the registration area to the Convention.
The parking directional people were apparently tasked with making parking as confusing as possible. When we drove up a stern-faced individual looked me in the eye and gestured with great fervor like he was swatting a fly. As I drove past and looked in the rearview mirror, he was still doing it. The meaning I gathered from it was, "Drive damn you, just drive!"
(Continued below the fold)
So we drove around, found a parking place, walked into the building with all the signs in front of it, and were told this was the Convention location, but we first had to go to the OTHER building down the narrow road, past the construction site, around the corner and up the other hill. If you didn't get hit by a bus it was not a bad walk really, as I'm fairly nimble and I happen to enjoy quiet construction sites in the morning, but I felt a little sorry for the elderly folks.
The registration building was beautiful, truly picturesque.
It was chosen, no doubt, because it offered a long, narrow hallway, perfect for the purpose of forcing a large group of people to funnel into a small space.
I found out the main parking area was down the side of the mountain, and later in the morning valet parking was provided for those who could figure it out.
Larry Wilber (right) tried to explain to the parking folks that they could explain a little better what the parking deal was as cars first drove up. I don't know if they took his advice.
Anyway, we got ourselves registered and trekked on back up to the Convention.
