Wetstock and More!

Bill Nye

If you have never attended Wetstock, quite simply you should. You owe it to yourself. You do not have to be rich or famous, you just have to have a passion for heat!

My first wallie dinner was in Providence at the RPA convention about four years ago. I think it was Alan Forbes who arranged the whole thing AND HE LIVES IN CALIFORNIA!!!

I am just a plumber who worked out of his garage and I was right at home with all my friends from the wall who I had known for years but just never met! There were about 40 or more of us at the resturaunt, they had to kick us out after midnight.


Wet stock one was incredible. 200 wallies. Could you imagine going to dinner with Cheese & Kathy, Dave Yates and Lois, Ken Secor, Bill Wolfe, Chuck Shaw, Felcie and his lovely bride. I know I'm running my days together but I rode in the back of Murph's van with Mark Hunt and Bill Wolfe. I guess you had to have been there. I was also at the bar when that ......... oh, never mind.


I guess what I am trying to say is, you should consider signing up for Scott Milnes trip to the greasy seafood place, even if you don't like greasy seafood. The beer and the laughs and the conversation on the bus ride will be well worth the price of admission. You may get lucky enough to talk to Ken Secor, you could learn a lot.


You could sit in a resturaunt and meet people from NY, NJ, MA, ME, WI, CT, PA, IL, and this is all at the same table. I really thought we were going to get thrown out of that place in Baltimore.


October isn't really all that cold yet you could get away from work for one or two days. Just think about it and I'll know I did my part. Maybe I can talk to Dan about a money back gaurantee. If you are not pleased with Wetstock and it is not everything we say it is maybe we could take up a collection and refund your money. I'll go one step further, if you want to go and absolutely can not afford the ticket email me privately and I will see what can be done. No one will ever have to know. How is that for going out on a limb.

What else can I say? Any one care to add to this? I know the wall, wetstock, and the true friends I have met here have truly enriched my life.


ps Dan or Scott did not pay me to say any of this

Thanks, Bill

Scott's field trip to Woodmans is during ISH-North
America in October. Wetstodk is in Providence in November (the 13th). We'll make a field trip to the brew pub across the street from the Holiday Inn. And maybe to Ri-Ra, just down the block.

Be there or be square.
