As we are about 7 months out I would like to give a short update on a couple of items I am planning.

1) A meet and greet for us large scale builders, hopefully Friday morning .

2) a Dinner at one of the local restaurants, day to be determined.

we did this in Pheonix and it was a lot of fun.

I wish I could come and enjoy your company  and  dining out as We did in Phoenix. 

Alas other plans get in the way.

But Mike have a great time and take photos to share here.

All the best. 

MARU 5137.

Was at the facility yesterday where they are going to hold the convention and it is a really nice facility. 
My only concern is going to be the parking. 
I am really looking forward to this convention.

There's a slim chance I'll make it. We're going to be in Chicago that week visiting family so I may go for the day. It's a 3 hour drive so do-able from that standpoint.

To those that are going and ordered a shirt I will have with me on Wednesday. 
I will post a meeting location on the message board which I am sure they will have.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Just to add to what Mike said, our benefactor purchased an extra shirt for each of us that ordered one, and Mike will be bringing those with him. There are also a few extras that we will collectively decide who to give them to once we're there.

On another note, I will be looking for some of the Grey Matters/J Rutman resin sets that I need from the vendors while I'm there, so please keep your eyes peeled for them on my behalf. If any of you PM me, I will give you cell number so you can text me if you find any. Thanks!

So it looks like I'll be able to make it. I'm sneaking away for the day and I'm bringing our youngest. Hopefully he won't get bored too quickly. 

Anyone know how much admission is? For some reason I can't find it on the website.

I was going to, but the wife found a smoking deal to go see the east coast of Canada, which completes my "bingo card" of seeing all 10 provinces and 3 territories! I'm sure there is a hobbyshop in or near Halifax too...

Sorry to miss you all this year, but next year in VA!!!....

Few of us can afford to go that far, especially two years in a row. Vegas is as close as it will ever get to me in Washington.

On the way from the Nashville area. My wife loves baseball, so, since we’re going that direction, we’re going to a Milwaukee Brewers game. Today is the last game before the Allstar break.

Looks like the brewers are on the road after the all star break!

Yeah, or we may have stayed after NATS for a game instead of going to the game today.

Good thing you're going to be out of Milwaukee by tomorrow. Gonna be a zoo.

I imagine that possibility. I was concerned before yesterday's national events that a certain person may decide to show up for the game and increase security.

Well, I went to my first Nats and it was great. It was great to meet  @biggtim and @denders and others. 

My son had a great time as well. Everyone was really great there from the vendors to other attendees. 

The only earful I got was from the IPMS Canada president when he found out I wasn't a member. And it was in a fun, polite way. Guess I know what I'll be doing. 

Sorry I missed out on meeting up with @Clunkmeister  and any others but we could only do the one day.
