Hello, ALL. The 2007 IPMS National Convention will be held in Anaheim, Ca. August 22-25, 2007. You can bet your next paycheck I'll be entering and attending. It's just down the freeway from me (about 18-20 miles). I've already got one project completed, and between 5 to 11 more to go. This will be a HOOT!!!!!!!!!!

Would I be correct in assuming that it will held at the aneheim convention center? You spoke of family packs to the park, are these through the event or a package deal offered later on? I'm already trying to book for the event. My wife insists.

Thanks

Well for local entertainment there is Disneyland and California adventure. Both are great for the Family. Also, not sure how big of a Baseball fan you are but The Aneheim Angels are in the same area, it's possible that they may have a game that week. Also, you will be vary close to the famous southern california beaches!

Duke, hopefully I will get to a competition down there before Nats to meet up!

I'll make it there. I wouldn't mind some tips on where to go and stay.

I have heard that Hooters is a good place for burgers.

Hooters is better for Babes than burgers...or thier chicken wings for that matter.......

Hey Brews! It all depends on your budget on where to stay. If you have enough, you can even stay at the Anaheim Marriott itself so there is no transport necessary to get to the event, (except your own two feet! LOL!) If not, there are several nearby local places that are quite affordable and right next to public transportation nodes that will take you to the event. 

We have a webpage up now for anyone to check out:

As for places with good burgers, one better place than Hooters is Fuddrucker's. Hooters is only famous for their wings, among other things.... 

Well espins1, I  can't wait to see you there and have a get together!!

 Who else may be in????

Awesome Espins. When you register for this event, you'll be able to take a free bus tour to two of the premier aircraft museums in Southern California: Yanks Air Museum and Chino Planes of Fame Museum. It's all part of the package and we also supply the transportation to these museums. Looking forward to seeing you there.

You mean besides us two? I'd love to know as well so I can keep an eye out.

Man, for burgers in SoCal there is ONLY one place......

InNout! My thought I was kidding. We hit the one in Vegas and her eyes rolled back in her head! Nows she's craving it too!!!

We finally got 2 In-n-Out burgers in Reno (well, one in Sparks, one in Reno).  It's awesome. 

Before that the closest one was in Auburn, just outside of Sacramento, so we're talking about an hour and 40 minute drive from us.  We always made it a point to stop there though whenever we went to visit friends and family in Sacramento or the Bay Area.

hmmm... I may have to go to In-n-Out for lunch today, it's only 5 minutes from my work. 

Wow!  IPMS Nationals in Anaheim?!?  I'm definitely going!!  I may even be living in SoCal by then.  Been to the Hooters in Santa Monica and Long Beach, but not in O.C.!  Guess I'll have to go for a SoCal Hooter trifecta!   Hope to see all of you there!!
