Jan 30th, So. Cal Wash-In..... a BIG success!

[revvinkevin]

While I've had 2 very small and very impromptu "wash-in's" as they were, this was my first time hosting an official Wash-In!

First I want to thank EVERYONE who attended and ESPECIALLY those who traveled more then 30 minutes to be here! I was pleasantly surprised and flattered that 4 different people drove 2 hours each (from Palm Spring, San Diego and Lake Arrowhead), 2 drove 8 hours from Reno, Nevada.... and one person even flew down from Vancouver, Canada just to attend my Wash-In!!!

All total 23 people attended! From Left to Right... the arm with the black shirt and pants is Andy (RedCarpetDrew, sorry Andy, I didn't realize until this morning I only got part of you!), in back is Gabrielle (Chance's mom), continuing in front John (Harvest Gold), Dick (Dick.S.), Chad, Scott (Scott55405), David (Smartdrive), Chris, Allen (Hometechdoc) and Juan, known as "Laundryboy" during the wash-in. LOL Now from the red shirt in back is Mike (Ge1054wguy), Matthew (GEExtraRinse), Joseph (Catalystboy), Brad (Bradross), Rich (Golittlesport), and finally Chance (Frapdoodle). The three in the back, left corner not paying attention are Tina, Ilene and Chris and they are obviously not part of AW! LOL

Andy (RCD) also brought down the little portable GE washer (made by Hitachi) and everyone wanted to see this one work too. Here Andy is filling it manually (all of the available faucets were in use).
