And Grumpy will be there, dozing off in his collapsible rocking chair, while Pvt Parts meanders around aimlessly. Feel free to wake me up, and say hi..... :-) :-)

I will be there, but won't be competing - I'm at that stage right now that I just don't have the mood for modeling. I'm almost done with my BA-20 (if it wasn't for two tow hooks that I lost I would be 95% done) but can't see myself finishing it in a week. I will just have a look at the other models and get some modeling stuff, maybe that'll get me going again.

Well, I'm certainly looking forward to see you again Al, and meeting the rest of you. Hopefully Al will be able to gather everyone together for one of his excellent group photos...... I'm too old and slow to run around trying to gather the brood.
Maybe I'll tie an Armorama Ballon to my old rocking chair....... :-) :-)

Looks like I'm out this year.
My dad, 70 yrs old, is finishing up the Applachian trail and needs someone to drive waaayyyy up into Maine (the WRONG direction) to get him that weekend.
Next year for sure.

Same here, Dave. How about we try to get everyone together on the front steps at 1230 hours. Registration should be closed and seminars probably will not have started.

12:30 sounds good to me..... I'll have Pvt Parts wake me up, have my mug shot taken, then buy me lunch.... :-)
I'll have to check the wardrobe for a louder shirt than Faust wears...... :-)

I climbed to the top of Mount Katahdin Maine when I was younger. One of the best times of my life. I met a female up there... There was music, stars, lots of alcohol and... well, lets put it this way, my buddies were jealous
Its good to be young, sometimes when I look back I just can't believe that I lived through it.Marty

LOL Marty, ok, I expected it... She was Canadian. Seriously, a real cuttie pie. No one would help her on the descent, it was all rock bolders, so, I volunteered my gentlemanly services, along with a fifth of peperment schnaps, a fifth of lambrusko wine and a couple of other things we'll just say "went up in smoke". Hey, it was the 70's, back then it was all about the party and good times.

There will be one seminar in the morning, and one in the afternoon. Seminars are by two great guys, so don't come too late. Lynn's should start at 10-10:30 AM.
Let's have another great show!

I was hoping to get a shirt with Armorama logo on it in time for this show. Considering it is already Thursday, that is not very likely to happen. Instead I am going to wear a MODELHUT.COM shirt. If you see a redhead wearing a shirt like that feel free to stop by and say hello.

I'll be easy to spot...... just remember---rocking chair....... and I do look like my photo, except the beard is a lot longer now.
Maybe I'll wear my "Lou Albanno" dress rubber band.
and on a serious note:
Don't forget the flashlights--- the lighting is terrible. (but good for old men to nap in)
and please do buy raffle tickets, to help the club meet expenses,
and end in the black, not the red.
