Text: DPAS Convention. Sunday, September 26th, 1999. Sherfield Bldg., Imperial College, London, England. A big "THANK YOU" to Simon, Nick, Alison, Ann, Michael and all at DPAS for a FIRST CLASS event! Draw2.jpg - Ian Gillan made four draws for winners of the DPAS Convention door prizes (4 laminates signed by Roger). Gurus.jpg - Martin (Mash) Ashberry and Doug MacBeath man the d-p.com table. HappyIan.jpg - In response to the question, "How do you like the backdrop?" (When Ian arrived there was a 1977 Rainbow video playing and the vidtech paused it right on Ritchie. Timing is everything!) IGDraws.jpg - Ian makes a draw in the shadow of Simon Robinson's forearm. Line'sBroke.jpg - My wife Line trys to get rid of the "hockey sock" full of British change she aquired furthering my DP fetish - properly, at the bar, of course! ;-) MaybeRitchie.JPG - As we started to gather for the Convention, this Virgin air ambulance arrived at Imperial College. The remark: "Ritchie's just arrived from the California Jam!" More!.jpg - The scene at the Darker Than Blue table. - L to R Line, Nick Robinson, Simon Robinson, ?, Doug MacBeath, and a German fellow I met on the walk to Imperial College. You have to love it when your bride drops more coin at a DPAS Convention than you do... ...and goes back for MORE! :-) PerhapsOne.jpg - In the bar of the Queen's Gate Hotel, Nick Soveiko (The "King" of Beer), Glen Miller and myself sample Czechoslovakian Budweiser (The King of "Beers"). SpoilsofWar.jpg - After the convention, and prior to the 2nd RAH show, Glen, Nick and I gloat over the "booty" in our room. VideoLine.jpg - "Cecil B. deLine" captures the Convention proceedings for posterity's sake. Note the weight of that DPAS bag! :-) Webmania.jpg - Nick Robinson from DPAS, ?, Mash, Par Holmgren, Doug, myself and Nick admire all the hard work that went into The Highway Star exhibit. Well done guys! A lot of selfless work goes into deep-purple.com. DPAS too, of course!
