Vulcan Con Day 2!

Friday, April 30, 2010 With a quick walk around the corner we enjoy breakfast at Waffle House. After our breakfast we stroll over to the West Shore mall, Sears is the anchor store, with some restaurants and well that’s all we see, because we have just received a message from Mitch of the Daily Buzz and he needs us to reach him ASAP!Oli has been trying to contact Mitch for a possible story on our return trip home and Mitch is excited to host us at 6am Monday morning. The Daily Buzz has been a favorite morning show of ours for years!

The Vulcan registration won’t open until 5pm, but the hotel is loaded with guests, most of them firefighters here for an Olympic type competition, but when I asked one hung-over-looking fellow how it was going he said ‘not so good, it’s more of an Olympic drinking type competition!’

We do take some pictures of non-Vulcan guests. And some Vulcan guests. We have a DVD playing on the cars TV but it’s skipping so Oli starts work on a back up while I make a call to my Tampa connection. Mike Womack, a friend of ours for years now, (he’s only 15) lives in the area and came to our rescue and picked up some blank DVDs for us. We visited with him and his aunt. Both were kind enough to sit in the car for a photo, which led to a rush of other guests wanting their picture taken too. Thank Mike and Aunt Karen for being our demonstrators!

The evening for us ended around 8:30 when the lobby became so crowded and loud you couldn’t hear yourself think. We packed up our gear and said our goodbyes and headed out to Charley’s Steak House next to the hotel. They’re famous for their aged steaks and rightly so. Dinner was great and now it’s time to rest up for day 2. Over 800 guests expected with about 100 registering today. That means we’ll hopefully be taking a lot of pictures and raising record awareness and funds for Team Fox!
