ADRENALINE RUSH

ANITA EVERETT

THE ADRENALIN ALREADY STARTED TO SURGE THROUGH AS SOON AS WE DEBARKED THE PLANE...

Heard about it, read about it, planned for it for months. Anticipation grew for our first experience of SEMA. What to see first on our minds with nearly 3,000 exhibitors and approximately 130,000 attendees expected to flood the show halls. How will we be able to take in all the energy that was to hit Las Vegas and run through our veins? We were revved up to celebrate with our STANG Magazine family in an over 1-million sq. ft. event. We were not only looking forward to exploring the event with our dear family of Mustang lovers, STANG Magazine, but we were going to live with them for a memorable week.

The adrenalin already started to surge through us as soon as we debarked the plane and met up with TJ and Tim at the airport, picked up our car and headed to the Las Vegas strip and then our temporary abode for a few nights before the rest of our STANG family arrived where we would share a sprawling multi-bedroom showcase home.

The first bonus, spending Halloween on Fremont Street. It became a world where it was hard to tell costume from real, dancing from stumbling, pure enthusiasm from high, inebriated or a language I never heard, to celebrating with a crowd only there to have the time of their life as if there was no tomorrow with the next blink of the eye.

The second bonus was waking up to the rumbling of the air and ground beneath and above us. EARTQUAKE? Hell NO! It was fighter jets doing combat training at Nellis Air Force Base in our back yard. The fly byes were jaw dropping.
