Way to go Howard posting names/handles/pics at the same time! I was always wondering who this Mooch guy was.

I wished I had stayed longer. I had such a blast hanging out with a bunch of great
folks at the AOTY award. NCKA rules in my book. Congrats to all the winners of the 08 AOTY. I am looking forward to an awesome 09 AOTY and hope to at least placed to
top ten's. Thanks to Bill,Chuck,Mooch and others of course that made this happened
for the rest of us to enjoy. I know that it takes a lot of hard work to put all of this
together and for that once again thank you. Thanks also to Hojoman for taking and
sharing some pictures to everyone.  It sucks I missed Andy's carnitas. I was looking
forward to it. Hopefully next time.

Another AOTY in the books . Congratulations to Sean, all the winners and those who participated. We had a great day and really enjoyed seeing our old friends and meeting new ones. This NCKA group is a GREAT family to be associated with.

Thanks again,
Ben, Marie, Jacob & Joel

Ahhh, livin' vicariously here - thanks everybody that posted pictures. The best were some of the captions    Once again it looks like NCKA travelled on their stomachs and travelled WELL! Sorry I missed it. Bill looked a little worried that Adam was gonna plant a wet on him with that hug........
