On our way to BM, we spotted The Host in a small California town along 395. We stopped to chat, & found out they weren't on the way to BM at all--Gump repeatedly assured us this year it would be "lame." At BM, we told Art Kar Kamp that Gump wasn't coming. Someone says, "But I thought I just saw him today." Turns out, after we left them, they ran into someone with an extra BM ticket, & decided to show up after all. (For the record, they said they were glad they did.)
