Dan - The Nationals was an awesome weekend. There's simply no other way to put it.
I will also say that I'm less than impressed with some of the carry-on that seems to have popped up in most of the threads. It doesn't convey the full picture to those that weren't there and from the outside I agree much of it would probably look quite cat-fighty (if that's a word..)
All that said though, I'll definitely be back next year and will strongly urge ANYONE who's thinking about it to also make the trip. The good times that will be had will be remembered for a long time.
