Let the fun begin--a note from the Mrs.

[Mrs. Pitbull Buggy]

I know many of you don't know me but just wanted to put my own welcome and well wishes for those of you who are preparing for your trip to Cuba.

I keep thinking about the first year when a 30 person BBQ turned into a full weekend event with over 100 participants. We were blown away with what occurred that year--three days of ultimate fun and new friendships. It was literally the Monday post event that we started talking about what could we possibly do the next year to make things amazing.

When I found out our daughter would be arriving within a few weeks of the event I had to take a backseat on the planning excitement to keep that baby in the oven. The group who has become known as the MoGang stepped in and helped Len pull the event off without a hitch. I think I can confidently say, any concerns had about living up to the first year were put to rest early on.

Now we are three years in, over 500 attendees committed, and an incredible schedule of events planned--the week is going to rock!

To Lamont, thank you for running the site and the support of the event. It truly has become a signature SpyderLovers event.

To the MoGang--I cannot believe the tremendous amount of dedication and energy you all put into making this event possible. Thank you for the support you give to Len's crazy ideas. He's really good entertainment, but you all help make the vision he has a reality.

Most importantly to the folks driving from all over the country--thank you! Without you there would be no Spyderfest. There's a great schedule, but I think everyone will agree it's the people that make spyderfest the awesome event it is!

As you can imagine between work and three kids at my house (2 under the age of 30) there is a lot of craziness, and that will go up a few notches over the next several weeks, but to quote Len, "Game On!"

Safe Travels--I'll see you in Cuba, MO!

There was one hitch last year. You didn't have the baby during Spyderfest. We were all willing to escort you to the hospital and help you celebrate the joyous occasion Spyder Style. I'm sure the hospital wouldn't have minded 200 plus Spyders in their parking lot. :yes::yes:

Amen sister!

And yes it is almost Game Time!! :clap::clap::clap::yes::yes::yes::clap::clap::clap :

We first thought my due date was Spyderfest weekend. Len went :yikes:

It was touch and go Sat night of the fest. We were thankful she waited a week so we could get some much needed rest before the 2:00 am feedings started.

Yeah Len has started talking in his sleep, "Game on, where's my Monster?"

One year ago, yup you were 'uncomfortable'. And you were praying with me for our new grandson, Britton, born at 26 weeks and 1lb 2oz. Look at him now....

I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Will the new baby make an appearance?

And a big Thank You to Mrs Pitbull Buggy. Thank You for loaning Len to the Spyder world, not only during Spyderfest but year around. By the way we within the MoGang know you're the Master planner and the one who takes his crazy ideas and figures out how to make them work. How you managed to keep a smile on your face in your condition last year amazes me.

Its a good bet she'll be with me throughout most of the event. She even has some spyder gear ready to wear.
