OCTO- Long Beach October 22, 2011


























This show got me all excited. I always wanted to go to the OCTO show at the Huntington Beach HS but this time they had it at the Long Beach Vet's Memorial Stadium. Great backdrop with the rectangular shapes behind the Buses. We arrived late, around 10 so alot of VWs had already left but the ones that were there were enough. As my husband says is my Bus "kick" to keep me at ease for the rest of our trip. There were alot of 15 and 13 windows this time around and a good selection of swappers. We found some dual carbs from a guy named Joe with a clean blue SC. Hot Dog Fred was there without his hot dogs and  I even got to take a picture with Everett Barnes (the samba.com) poor guy, I think I embarrassed him. Also pulled the kiddos around in a great find, my 1950's Greyhound wagon I found the morn' before at a Goodwill in Anaheim for $ 29.99. Cha-ching! There is one thing I realized I don't have in my collection... the Ninja Turtles Bus! Dang it! On the next hunt, I guess.
