Anyone hear about the Mcminnville UFO Festival? This year was the 20th anniversary. Hubster and I went up there Saturday evening. Next year we're going for the entire 3 days! Super interesting!
Ever hear if Bob Lazar? Interesting! Cmdr. David Fravor was my favorite speaker. He's hilarious and has pulled some antics. A shorter interesting story. I didn't expect to enjoy it, but it was great. Left me wanting more. Well, there was also a big tent party at Mcmenamins. LOL
Some of the people there were quite.... interesting. Like "tinfoil hat" interesting... literally!

Edited to add: I guess not.

Of course it's big. They offer free alien anal probes.

I hadn't heard of it before either. But it has been going for 20 years. The whole town was packed with people. All of the motels were booked. I made our reservation months ago and had trouble finding a room available. I'm sure they all had their prices bumped up too. Definitely a money making weekend for Mcminnville.

I'm guessing your husband at some point actually saw a UFO?

Never of it. But sounds fun. The sort of thing I used to love to do things like this. I'm so insular now, I never go anywhere or do anything, partly because I hate crowds and partly due to mobility issues. However....my son sent me a message informing me he has tickets and is taking me to see Neil, so I guess I'm driving up to Eugene on Thursday. Breaking out of my box.

Ha! No. But he has read about Bob Lazar... and finds it all interesting.

It was... not so sure now. I'm guessing it will be canceled. We will keep our reservations until we know for sure though.
