The Big Party: Preparing to undergo the sort of security check that one finds at an airport, Uwe S. Hoffman (far right) approaches the intimidating registration clearance process at the San Francisco Trael party. Few are chosen; he was one of them.
Greeting those who made it through the security check, a model awaits at the end of the runway. Party guests have arrived at the site; now all they need to do is to taxi into the party hall.
Another greeting inside the San Francisco party hall. Inbound checked and found that this person is not a tour operator.
