This was my first Coffer Jamboree. I had finished my darkbox the night before and had never used it until I got there, but it worked OK. Met a lot of great people, and wish I had gone before. Learned a lot, so I can incorporate some of the other folks ideas. Eddie Gunks was there with a lot of lenses, and a keg of beer. Mike Jacobson really put on a feast. Eddie loaned me a plate holder when my dark slide got stuck, which allowed me to get some of the best plates ever (for me). Not much sleep while camping out, a lot of people stayed up till after midnight, and that damn rooster starts up about 5 am. Might do the motel thing next time. Rob Kendrick showed up Sat night and stayed over.

In summary, glad I went, and hope to make it next year.
