1999 Emerald Cup (Intro)
By -Jabber



Intro:

This is a show I'd not gone to before, partially because it's so dosh-garn
far away from my current hometown of Dallas, TX (not to mention even further
from my previous hometowns back east), but I'd heard it's always a great
show for a non-Nationals level show.  Whoever told me that wasn't lying. :-)

This year, Sheila Burgess and her boyfriend Ernie were coming down to see
the show from Vancouver, B.C., and my work schedule was shaping up as such
that this show looked to be possible.

I was looking forward to seeing Sheila again, and Ernie for the first time.
Should be a great weekend.

Indeed because of a last minute schedule change, I'd been in Calgary,
Alberta, CA on business both the week before AND after Seattle, thus
allowing me to get into Seattle more conveniently and earlier than I
originally thought.  Ready to take in the sights (fbb wise) so to speak.
