I'll be there, with about 3 other local club members. I'm not sure if I'm bringing any models with me, but hope to purchase plenty!

Well, they issue name tags. As long as people wear them, folks should be easy to spot!

I might be there. it l depends if I can get a ride or not. What about issuing secondary Armorama nametags with our callsigns on them? It would be easier than picking out faces we've never seen before from a crowd :-)

b:you smell of enamel thinner, glue, and paint 24/7
c:you shed a tear when the hobby shop closes.

Personally, besides the total excitement of the entire AMPS Convention (have you seen the updated schedule of events?...Awesome seminars!), it's going to be
GREAT to finally meet some of my Armorama Goomba's and put a more personal feeling to our camaraderie...
Two days away, mates!

If you fellas have models you're really proud of (show entries or not) bring them along and I'll shoot them for FSM. We'll make you famous, or infamous!
See you all in a few...make sure you come up and introduce yourselves, I'll be a little "busy" taking photos to seek you guys out.

Take lot's of pics! Especially of the venue. I am curious what the Ohio location is like in comparison to Maryland.
Hope everyone who goes has a great time!

I plan to have quite a bit of pic's when I return Jim, if you would be interested in a feature upload...that is if I can get some good shots. The lighting in the museum leaves alot to be desired, but we'll see.
