Dave in Sin City

After another, brief, stop in Connecticut Dave has found himself in the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas. Dave just arrived last Saturday, but has already had a chance to see some of the best magicians to find anywhere, Penn & Teller, who performed (I believe) at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino! Thanks to TCG member Metallikat87 for the great pictures, and to Penn & Teller for playing along ;o) (and for not making Dave disappear :o) )

Dave arrives after his overnight journey from Connecticut (forgot to mail him out early enough, oops on me).

Dave posing with Penn & Teller after the show (don't ask, I get them confused all the time). All I know is they are great performers, and that one does all the talking (kind of like a marriage when you think of it...)

Back in Connecticut

Well, good news bad news. As planned, Dave made it out to Cleveland with our merry little band at the National Sports Card and Memorabilia show. Good news, we had a great week, bad news, nobody took any pictures....

Soo, because of our absentmindedness (ok, mine) here is a token one from my local show before he went off to the land of sin....

Is it me or does that support beam look crooked? Count me as someone who hates crawling under houses... thankfully, not possible in my current abode, heh.

Dave at the San Diego Zoo

Apparently, Dave's visit to San Diego has a strong 'animal' theme to it... Although I must admit that he once again has beat me to a place I really want to visit, the San Diego Zoo...Thanks again to TCG'er Seahawklady for the great pictures!

At the entrance to the Zoo!

Dave has reached Arnold Land

With only a month until his debut at the National Sports Card and Collectible show in Cleveland, OH Dave finally made it out of Oregon and is now in sunny Southern California!!! It isn't Oregon, but then again, not much else is :o) Dave should have fun with TCG member Seahawklady (yes, a fellow seahawker living amidst the Charger fans). Here is one photo just to kick off his time there...

LaDainian may have broken the record, but Shaun is still the best thing to come out of Alabama in, well, forever... ;o)

Wow, finally a new post.

I'm happy to say things are back on track. For those living with our site drama, uptime and downtime thanks for your patience. First, as promised back in April, some old shots of Dave were finally received (and then again, finally posted by yours truly)... So, in case you missed it, CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES OF DAVE AT OPENING DAY WITH THE BREWERS!!!

Dave will be moving on soon

but currently do to a family tragedy he will be taking a little time off from traveling. We will post when he is on the move again!!

Also, due to up-time issues, feel free to find us at www.thecollectorsgroup.com! Look forward to seeing you there.

Dave is FINALLY across the Mississippi...

... and into the state I call home (no, not confusion thank you very much....). Photos are courtesy of a friend of CP, big thanks to Mike for his time.

It is an Oregon football helmet on a VW Bug.... completely natural looking..

Just another shot of Herbie with Dave

And the money shot, a picture of Dave watching the Spring Game of (hopefully) the 2007 Pac 10 Champion Oregon Ducks.

Dave in the deep South

I want to apologize for the lag in posting updates, combination of several factors, none of which I'll bore you with. Anyway, we pick up Dave's adventures in April as he travels to Birmingham, Alabama to spend time with CP Member JM79.


Dave posing with the newest addition to JM79s collection...

At the motocross qualifying event on Friday...

More qualifying pictures...

Can't leave the south without an obligatory 'Hooters' shot....

Sorry everyone...

A lot going on, but here are some pics we've missed out on, while we still wait for pictures from prior stops ;o)

Dave in Dixieland

Well, while we are still waiting on pictures from the land of cheese, Dave has begun his new adventures in the land of Dixie. Thanks to CP member Black300on22s for the great pictures!

Happy Birthday Randy!!! Now I feel old :o( On the plus side, that Red Velvet cake looks really good.

Posing with a birthday present.

What can I say, we are dog people on CP.

'Dave', Randy, and Dolly. Can't have a little bit of country without Dolly.

'Dave' at Wonderworks. I'd love to tell you what that is but I really don't know...

'Dave' posing with the boys of Alabama, well, at least their bus...

Don't worry, new pictures are coming soon...

we are just waiting on the images of his trip to opening day in Miller Park.

EDIT: They are finally here, only 3 months later but hey, who is keeping track :D I've actually had these a month so that is my fault too :o(

Anyway, as Libby dodged a jail sentence I'll just move on and post the pics. Enjoy!!! Thanks to TCG member B70x70n for the great shots!!! (Well, to his friend too, Dave was passed around frequently at Miller Park :D)

A little Pre Game pick me up.... For those that do not recall, the Brewers opened the season against the Dodgers of Los Angeles.
Nice shot walking up to Miller Park. Beautiful looking stadium, will definately have to catch a game there one day...

Another shot from outside the park.


Shot of the field from the right field bleachers...

Scoreboard Shot.

I think that is a mural of yount, but what do I know :o)

Believe a shot of the slide in the outfield ;o)

Another scoreboard shot...

Visiting the bullpen...

It is very neon :o)

Brewer Fan Zone... probably a happy place based on their huge lead in the division these days...

Trip down memory lane, Brewer style...

Statue of Hank Aaron I believe, outside the stadium.

Yeah, that must have been Henry up above...

Yount or Molitor, I'll let you guess :o)

It was Yount!
