As soon as the bidding was over and the auctioneer said "This man drove all the way from NY for this bottle", I knew exactly who it was. Dang Dennis. If I knew I was going to be able to go a little earlier, I could have saved you some gas money. Glad you got that bottle.

Nice meeting you.

It was good to see the bottle up close and personal. And great to run into you as well.

Did you get that Scotland Neck Kola Mist?

Yes I got it. I was kinda worried for a while with everything else going so high but I ended up getting it for $45. Thats the only soda I got for me. Did get some good local milks I wanted for a decent price.

Kudos for going after the item you wanted.
And that means time and money...all for an item that's once seen, first seen, never seen.
You got a bargain. And a unique bottle.
As said previously...you da man.

Note: I wish that I had the time to have spoken at the National to any extent.
JJ wasn't feeling well (she has fibromyalgia) and she was ready to begin the trip back.
I of course, could have stayed until they ran me out.

I hear there are plans for a big regional show at Kansas City next year. I hope to be there if it happens and will look you up.
