As I was coming back from Colorado last Thursday after missing meeting HalfYank and Treadhead, I got to thinking about how many members of the site I have met. I came up with ten off the top of my head:
AJLaFleche
Alpenflage
JohnnyBoy
KKeefe
MLD
Monte
RFeehan
Sabot
TankCarl
Tuna
I may have also met Marty, but I'm not sure.

How many members have you met?

Well the BuffCon (Buffalo, Ny) show is on April 3rd and i'm hoping to meet up with Matt, ex-royal(Bryan) and AJLaFleche. AJ said he was at last years show, so i'm hoping he'll show up this year. Not sure if any other members have plans on going, but would be nice to meet up with them as well. I have talked to Grumpy(Dave), Lestweforget(Dave) all the way from Australria and Logansdad(Rob) on the phone and that in it's self was cool.

So far only Keith Magee...at all the local model shows
this year it looks like about 5 or 6 will show up. Looking forward to meeting Rottenfuher, Rebelsoldier,Moezilla and EPI. Hopefully ptruhe, whistler, and potroast will make an appearance. Of couse anybody else who comes to Dallas on May 21st. There are some decent places to eat near by, and shoot Squadron shop actually opens it's doors and hands you a flyer, catalog and a shopping basket. You can even bring the kiddies as probably 6 flags will be open on weekends. It's down the road apiece but everything is easy to get to in Dallas if your willing to drive a bit.

Well I knew him many many years before as we both attended the Virginai Military Institute but Chuck Wolhrab who is AKA Desertmole in Kabul Afghanistan
