Not any more. Still have show access through various friends.

Going to chase the cherry blossoms in Kyoto in March. Maybe I'll catch a kabuki show when I'm over there.

I’d love to go to SEMA. That’s gotta be a car guys vacation! Since I like cards and cars I’m in.

Nice. Would be really amazing to see the reveals.

Small world, a couple of those are on my schedule too.

Seeing some of this shit makes me wish I was retired as well, goddamn it.

Sounds great, I've enjoyed my many (many) working visits to Japan.

Yep. Four days of walking two convention/exhibition centers (indoors & out, upstairs and down) creates quite the sensory overload.
Have scaled back my SEMA visits from annually to about every 3-4 years. Did Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale late last month for 2 days and my ailing feet is still recovering.

(cue the dozing cat gif)
Huge benefit in attending SEMA besides the knowledge and eye candy, is chatting with the manufactures. Example: couldn't get my McLeod dual disk pressure plate (https://www.mcleodracing.com/rxt/p38) to balance to my satisfaction and discussed all with the McLeod team at SEMA. They then overnighted a new setup with tighter dowel-pin holes that made for a near perfect balance. Am sure another Mustang Cobra owner ended up with my first clutch pack, bolted it on and is happy as shit.

Retiring is quite easy Lord Conjurer, there are afew ways to go about it, pm me for suggestions

Conjurer, beware. Sir cod does on purpose leave out the fact, that a strict prerequisite for retirement is to become an old fart first. Sure You want to fall under that category already?

I've been an old fart for the last twenty years.
