Aaaah! Too many comments to reply to on my phone. Maybe real internet tonight? Matt - sent an email to Georg a day or two ago about getting me and Mia on with Rob at 12:30...don't see us on there. Maybe the list just isn't updated?

Okay, if you sign up to judge via internet, you can get there at 10 and just get your ticket from Georg. That will get you in to the hour of private shopping. We will have only one door open, guarded by Mark Lundstrom, who's 6'4" and always carries a beautiful Colt automatic. I really despise the trolls who won't lift a finger but want to sneak in for first pick.

The schedule is here for viewing: http://decalcomaniacs.net/IPMSAMPSEAST/IPMSAMPSEast2011JudgingSchedule.pdf

Pick your time and email Georg: georg.eyerman@ipmsnmma.org 

33 hours till the doors open to the public! Prepare for a weekend of armor euphoria!

YIKES! My name isn't on the roster at the chosen time slot... I better get in touch with Georg. Don't want to meet Mark's Colt up close and personal.... Tongue Tied

See you fellas in the AM!

I'm hoping you guys have armed guards at the door enforcing private shopping hour - if I pull off this stunt I better not be fighting off the unwashed hordes! Devil

You should realize the artillery will be there....

Just get there early.......don't make me use this!!!

Hmmmm. Have to be there at 9:00, eh? One of the more likely scenarios had us leaving the house at about 0230 to get to Danbury by 1000...not sure if I can talk Mia into getting up at 0100 to leave the house by 0130. Heh.

If one of the alternate (read: leaving Maine Thursday night) plans pans out, we should be there in time.

0100, 0130, 0230, it's all Zero Dark Thirty. Just wake her up and tell her it's time to go. Now, if you're really sneaky, you set the clocks back a couple hours...

No,no,no. You have to go to the judge's meeting and sign up at 9 AM Friday to get the magic ticket that gets you in to the private shopping hour.

Hey Matt,

Just for clarification - what about those who committed to judge via e-mail to Georg to judge, but won't be able to be there for 9:00 am (say, for example, because it is an hour + drive and the school bus doesn't pick up until after 8:00...Stick out tongue)

Mark, I think if you get in touch with Mike (email) to get your name on the list you won't have to be there at 9am to sign up. Correct me if I'm wrong Matt.!! Once your name is on the Judging Cert list your good to go.

I look forward to seeing all of your work at the show, especially them arty guys.

Serious health issues have kept me away from the bench and the forum (where did O&E go? wait, never mind....)  but I will make it to the show to get inspired by ya'll guys.

Cheers to all,

James

Marc,

10:00 AM Friday if you sign up to judge. Those who volunteer for a judges slot get an hour of private shopping for one hour before the show opens.

Matt - I KNEW you guys had ulterior motives! Boo Hoo

Made the executive decision that enough progress has been made (or will be by Wednesday night) to enter the beast into the show...so both of us are coming down. See you Friday!

Also signed up for the AMPS Judging Certification class - looking forward to that as well.

 

How early can I get at the club table in the vendor room...? Whistling

I'm not supposed to tell you this, but we only let you hang out with us because you bring Mia.

Unfortunately, Wingy, it's not even a week - 5 days is all you've got! Surprise

Which means I've only got 4...if I'm coming down Thursday will be a wash (when I should be doing washES, ha ha!).

Redleg - not done, but maybe done enough? Oh, and if the trip happens, Mia will be coming.

And Marc, we do have a Vendor room survivors fund for those who spent their gas money home on a sweet piece of resin.....

!!! How did I never know this before??? That alone will increase my chances of making the trek down by at LEAST 50%. Stick out tongue

Maybe I can finish my build at the AK Interactive table on Friday, and not enter it until Saturday morning? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

You better be done by Wed Dupes Big Smile

Matt I can't wait, it will be one hell of a show. Iain will barely have time to catch his breathe after returning from the Euro Mil. show, then it's off to AMPSEast. I'll be picking him up so we will both be there playing with the AK products. I have to agree with you, the AK stuff is very easy to use and also fun to use.

I'll hand over the model for the raffle to Mike on Friday.

See you there.

 

Cheers

Rob

It's already bigger than last year and I can't believe the people that are coming out of everywhere during the Dodd Depression to come to this show! The hell with the economy, we're gonna have a kick-ass weekend!

This is gonna be a GOOD one. I'm getting emails from all over from people who are gearing up just for this show!

AK Interactive has 4 tables in a U shape and will be demonstrating AK products all weekend - you can learn to use it right there at the show before you buy it. Trust me, if you're smart you'll buy as many as you can. The stuff is amazing and easy to use.

And Marc, we do have a Vendor room survivors fund for those who spent their gas money home on a sweet piece of resin.....

Things are actually starting to look pretty good. I'm thinking I now have a solid 50-50 chance to be done by Wednesday night next week.

Will it be "contest-worthy-done"? Hmmm. We shall see.
