>> Tim, you and I spoke to each other several times. There were about 8 of

>> As for 2008 not being a success, The goal of moving it to Orange County

>> accomplished
>> being part of the largest swap meet in So Cal and receiving a mention on 
>> the
>> local NBC 6:00 news and a small article in the Orange County Register. It
>> may not have been "Just like Palm Springs" but I feel it was a major 
>> success
>> in its own right. I agree that the grassy field made for a much better
>> event. However, I also don't think that moving the 'Toss for one year 
>> made
>> it a failure.
>>
>> As for pictures of the event, I'm no photographer and don't take 
>> pictures.
>> However, I've got almost a Gig of pictures from the 2008 'Toss here on my

>> How strange indeed.
