Wi-Fi continues to be a problem but I will sleep when I get home. After all, it's only a four day convention, right?
Day One began with the 25 annual Open Colon No Frills golf tournament hosted by Al the Only for a few hardy folks who wanted to enjoy the spectacular weather. After the dealers opened in the elementary school, the first officially schedule event was Fred Becker's morning lecture. Another cruise ship magician, John Shyrock, lectured in the afternoon. Both suffered with being in the early spots while not all the registrants had yet arrived.
The evening show at the high school was emceed by David Oliver and opened with Alex Boyce, followed by Gordon Miller, John Sterlini, John Jansky. After the intermission, Jeff Hobson performed a new act and the evening show was concluded by Dan Sperry.
