Hello all and welcome to my ZepFest 2000 "Video Memories" page! I had a blast at my first Zep convention, held September 29 & 30, and met a lot of very cool people and fellow Zep fans. It was my first trip to Cleveland as well - The Flats ROCK! I came home with some awesome Zeppelin memorabilia, like books, CD's, video's, stickers, a hat, t-shirts, and some matted photos actually signed by members of Led Zeppelin. But the best thing I came home with was the memory of a great time with my girlfriend Karen and everyone we met. If you were there, then please drop me an email to say hello and/or to tell me if you enjoyed the photo's and videos below! If you'd like to know a little more about me, then visit my band's site masqueradeband.com.

Just click the photo's to enlarge them. The Video's are presented in RealVideo and you must have the RealPlayer to view them. Choose your modem speed, kick back and enjoy!

Shortly after arriving at the hotel, Karen sits and reads the room service menu and then I shot the view of downtown Cleveland from our window.
