I've met a few at local events in Houston (both when I was living in Baton Rouge, and now that I live in Corpus Christi). And I met several at CB02. I can't even begin to name them all. There was Chuck, Dean, Bill, Big James, Mike, Marooned, Ron (Bow Tied), CFR, Gene, Chris Dagenais, Al, Dot, Tom Parsons (who I've had the pleasure of visiting again since then), and countless others. I wish I could remember everyone's name. I didn't feel like anyone I met was just a casual "hey, how are ya'" kind of thing. I felt like I knew them all.
I've never had a better time than when with Team Chevelle and ACES folks. I've always felt like I was around old friends, even when it was the first time we ever met face-to-face.
The one memory that sticks out the most was with Al, Dot, and Beldarr in Nashville. That Beldarr had me laughing so much I almost ****ed my pants. And I wasn't even drinking!
I've hung with Wayne Scott (SS540) both in Houston and Biloxi. And a few other Chevelle owners at those events.
Then there was the last evening at that CB hangin' with BB_Mike, Beaux, Chris, and a few more of the young "Wild boys". I've never felt more at home.
Chevelle owners are the best of the best. You can't go wrong hangin' with them. I still want to meet more of the Houston bunch when I'm in town.
I hope to bring my son with me to the next big Chevelle event. Maybe I'll make the trip to Nashville this year.
I haven't met any Chevelle folk in China.
