I'll probably be there, without anything to put on the table. I'll try to judge, catch a seminar or two, and spend some of this slush fund $$ that's been burning a hole in my pockets.
Maybe I can even have something done by April...
maybe..

Al, that's great to hear! I can't get to all the sites. It sounds like we should have another record attendance this year!

Hey Matt, how about a little old college fun, I'll partipate in a pie toss, to raise money for Amps. We could do it in the parking lot.
I'm sure there are a few people who would love to smack me in the kisses with a pie. Could become a great tradition.

Well, since I just volunteered for judging, I guess I won't have the time for this event.

Matt
We have a similar thread over in the FSM site. There is about 9 of us going. We may want to (if it is ok with you guys) crash the 12 noon gathering and make it an Armor forum gathering. We can take seperate Armorama & FSM pics but I thought the more Armor forum people the better.
I also told Al, I will give my time in the judging area....with a little help from my friends!!
PS I will be there Fri evening if anyone want to get togeather then. Send me a PM
Rounds Complete!!

Of course, Mike, the FSM guys are invited too! I also invited the ML and TL guys since most frequent them all. It will be nice to put the faces to names!
