[Coco] CoCoFest

[Nuxie at aol.com]

Hello everyone,
 
I made it home safely as well after a near death experience in my home  town. 
We survived the trip to and from chicago, with all that construction  and 
narrow lanes.  When we got back into our city though my brother was  driving and 
he was supposed to merge onto state hwy 41 he was checking his blind  spot and 
did not realize the lane we were in was ending. I kept watching that  big 
metal 4 foot tall median get closer until i finally screamed my brothers  name. 
we missed ramping it by 2 inches as he slammed the car into the next lane.  
Luckily all the traffic saw what was going on and cleared the lane. we started  
to skid as he steered a hard right to miss the barrier and he jerked the car  
left then right and then left again to regain control. Luckily everyone moved  
out of our way and we did not roll over or hit other cars. if hadn't done what 
 he did we would have ramped that median and rolled my vehicle at least 3  
times.  I think prayers were with us when we started our 10 hour rainy  drive 
home in the dark.  I wish i could have stayed past 5 pm at the fest  but i knew 
in my heart that it was going to be rainy and we would end up driving  in the 
dark.  I just thought if we were going to wreck it would have been  going 
through chicago lol.  Needless to say I probably wont be driving my  car for a 
while as I am in severe shock. But i do believe that god knew I had my  son to 
take care of and he guided my brothers hands that night.  Praise the  lord for 
our safe return and thanks to god for having my mom insist i did not  take my 
son with me to the fest.  
 
it was a rough trip home last night ,,,,,, there were also high winds and  
then i heard on the radio around iriquois county Illinois about tornado  
warnings.......I thought ohh lord not another tornado.  That turned out to  be the 
least of my problems lol
 
I was really happy to finally meed Brother Jeremy, Steve Bjork, Allen  
haufmann, tony,  and robert crislip and bob swoger..... I had to give out  hugs !! 
The first person i saw when i entered the room was bob swoger man he is  a 
giant lol!! but I gave him a big ol hug anyway! You guys are like my family  and I 
absolutely loved seeing you all..... even though Mark didn't bring our  
wedding cake!!

Everyone couldn't believe your game. I handed out 20 copies! Their  reactions 
were priceless! We first put it in a glenside coco and couldn't get  the 
joystick to work. allen kept saying "i knew it was a April fools  joke!!
so i went and got my coco and it worked fine.  I did a video taped  interview 
with steve bjork, I videotaped cloud nines siminar and a little bit  misc 
footage.
 
Talk to you all in chat tonight!!
