And we're off!  Hiroki (Guest Services Director) cracks a goofy face on the long drive down towards Southern California's Staff Barbecue. The car beside us carries Terry (Registration), Stan (Exhibit Hall) and Albert (96,97 Chairman).
Meat stop: Harris Ranch!  Must get high-quality steaks to feed a high-quality staff. Dickinson (VTech) basks in the summer sun while he watches the grill heat up fresh links and burgers.
In the kitchen area, Erika (Registration) and Ruby (Guest Services) prepare some of the condiments. Erika (Registration) and Dickinson (VTech) continue with food preparation.
