[SEL] Portland , IN 2005

[ED]

Thank you Tommy, Peter and Arnie, especially for the web link. It looks like
I need to start my trip a few days earlier. For the biggest show on the
planet, it is hard to find info on it. They should include the web site link
in all calendars and all  adds. I did go last year but the year before I
figured the West Coast was out of my range.
