It's always nice to meet the guys we hang out with here on the forums.  I had a chance to meet Hippy Ed a while back and chat with him at my favorite local hobby store (High Sierra Models).  It was a pleasure meeting him and as you all know there are many great guys here on the forums. 

Speaking of meeting fellow modellers.  If any of you are coming up for the Reno Air Races, I'll be working in the Reno High School Booth from 12:30pm to 5:00pm on Saturday and Sunday (Sep 16 and 17) at the Air Races.  Feel free to stop by and say hello.  Just look for the tall, middle aged German looking guy with the hot little Italian wife.  Kisses [:X]  (Hey, us Axis people have to stick together...

Haha, yeah I wouldn't mind getting to meet you or buff. I drive up to Quebec once a month anyways, so maybe one of these days we can arrange something Smile [:)]

I met Anthony14, and he's a very nice young guy. I haven't been around much in town to work with him or even e-mail, but it was definitely nice to meet someone, and will continue to work at it.

A nice place to meet at would be Hobby Junction Express.  It's right next to the P.E. Trudeau international airport.  They have plenty of model and aftermarket stuff there.  The personel is friendly and there is a lot of people discussing about train and models.  Since I can go there about anytime, tell me whenever you want to go and we'll meet.  Could be this week, next month or next year, doesn't matter.

Hey fellas,

I almost never check this forum, so anytime you want to set up a meet, pm or e-mail me.  I live a 5 minute drive from Hobby Jonction, so I can go pretty much anytime other than some Saturday afternoons. 

Zoran, there's also a place just west of Montreal that you would pretty much drive past on the way to Hobby Jonction.  It's called Hobby Gryffon.  It would be well worth stopping in there for a few minutes too.  You would hit two good shops on the same trip.

Just post in this thread what you're going to wear.  Just make it distinctive enough that we can recognize it.  Either that or let me know what time.  Then I'll just start yelling your name out loud at the appointed time!Smile [:)]

Yeah right!  I'm the one who will be dressed like a clown and you'll be the one who will yell like a dumb.  Nice couple.

I'll have a white cap of the Montreal Alouettes.

An Als cap is easy enough to find.  Will you still be willing to wear it if they haven't won a game before the Oct. 1?

If each of you dressed in a hot pink speedo, neon green feather boa and high-heeled, light up sandals, you'd probably stand out.

Just a suggestion.

I think I'll just stick with jeans and a ball cap, if it's ok with you guys.  Yann and I will be able to figure it out on the day.

Yann, 10:00 sounds good, but I'll confirm a little later.
