Wow, 3 AM! Looks like everybody had fun, although y'all left Robert to fold all of the laundry and clean up ;-)
Can't wait until June! YAY!

Minnesota Mini.......

Wow, what a great time last night and what a great group of people. I feel a bit hungover today yet I didn't have anything to drink at Robert's...maybe it's from sniffing the Salvo tablets?!
I want to publicly thank Robert (and his lovely hostess Gladys) for opening his heart and home to us all. He is a man of generous and playful spirit.
I couldn't believe how fast the time went. We arrived at 8:00 and the next time I checked my watch it was after midnight! Then the next time it was 2:10 a.m! I think we were mesmorized by 1-18 for the last hour. And yes, I do feel bad about the mess, I would have helped clean up, really!!!
Q: My favorite machine? A: Whichever one I was standing in front of at that moment!
Q: Favorite moment? A: Hard to say, but one of them was when the James dishwasher started with a bang and freaked everyone out!
Hey Robert did the group picture turn out okay? Could you post it with everyone's names? I know we'd be missing Don since he arrived later, but I'd like to have a copy of the pic.

Hi Jim, thanks again for coming last night. That group picture was taken by Steve in his 35mm camera. So if he sends me a copy I will scan it and post it for everyone.

Robert ... THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!! I'm sorry I left so soon! You guys went another 3.5 hours after I left ... GEEZ!!
I felt completely comfortable being there and meeting everyone, including you, for the first time.
I couldn't believe all of those wonderful machines! The vintage Dash and Tide were a lot of fun and it was great taking "hits" off of the vintage Downy, Final Touch and Salvo!!
Everyone was so friendly ... it was truly a pleasure and you are an EXCELLENT host!!
Thanks again ...

WOW!
What a great time! I flew in on Wednesday and hopped into a whirlwind! The "wash-in" at Robert's was just wonderful. It was great to meet so many people from the "club". Robert and Glady's were most gracious hosts and it was really nice to put faces to names. Don, Jim, Karen, Jamie, Scott, John, Chris, PeterH, Gary, John, oh, it was wonderful! We opened by cranking up that "fourties" GE. Robert took the lid off and let it splash away. I just loved playing with the '55 "Pulse-a-Matic" and the memories the Kelvinator and Hotpoint brought back. The Philco's ALL got a work out and the "Uni-matics" as well. I just can't thank Robert enough for such a wonderful evening! I was also fortunate enough to be a guest of Gary Weibel, who took me into his home and "ran me ragged" around the Twin-Cities. We went to shows and the theatre and many different restaurants. I got a chance to see his collection of machines as well. I got to meet a few of his wonderful friends as well as his Mother who is much fun! We went and scooped up Robert one evening and went to visit John Eichinger and Chris Phillips. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and showed us the Philco-Bendix collection. IT IS AWESOME!!!!! When John restores a machine it looks like "new out of the box" when he is done---amazing. We had a great time and washed some laundry in the '58 Bendix, the Lady Kenmore Combo, and played with a (Italian) Bendix from the early 2000's. IT was so much fun and so are John and Chris! Many thanks to all, and yes I will take the film to get it developed tomorrow, and send copies to Robert to scan. --Steve (Gyrafoam)

Thanks for the pics Robert. Would have loved to have been there myself. Hoping there might be a chance I can make it to the convention. In the meantime, thanks to you and the other club members for sharing your collections and wash-ins with us.

I am still fuming that I was unable to attend the wash-in, even though I'm a mere 2-1/2 hours from Uni's house. It looked like everyone had a blast. I'd sure love to have seen the Kelvinator/ABC's in their supercalasplashariffic glory. And ye olde Frigidaire's, as well. I had a session booked to record a harpist and she was unable to reschedule. Gee, maybe I should have brought her along. A little harp music, a little laundry....... I'll make the next one, I promise!
Thanks Steve
I received this photograph in the mail today. Steve (Gyrafoam) took a group shot during our recent wash-in. While its still missing a few of us, including Steve who was snapping the picture, its still a nice group shot.
