Hope to see you there!

Haven’t got my tix yet, but plan on being there

Milos, please stop by the Eno table and say hello! Should be a fun event, it’s a great location and there will be lots of excellent food to sample along with the wines.

Ken and Milos

Traci and I will be there. Look for a short white guy wearing an August West hat (black w AW logo on front). Of course, Ken knows me by sight.

Should be a lot of fun.
