I got in yesterday afternoon and got registered and entered without a hitch.

As for the t shirt at Andy's, you need to wear it or buy it on Friday to get your free kit.

No worries Steve, Friday is fine for registering your model.  Just do it well before 5:00 pm.  I'll probably see you there with my model entry - and I guarantee it will stink of fresh flat coat!

BTW, no joy on the honu flip-flops.  It was way more elusive than I thought.

See the FSM gang soon!

That's great G!!

Can someone ask and let me know the latest I can register tomorrow? We probably won't be in until 6pm. Confused

10 hour drive from Boise. 

I may have to either put the builds on the tables or my room and register on Friday morning. Huh?

I touched down at 7:30 this am.  Had brunch at 10:00, then went over to the registration desk and got my stuff.  I'm now official!

XL for me Big Smile

Seriously though. If possable grab one for me if you want and I'll reimburse you. If not no problem, I'll just grab one when I go through the vendor area. Yes

I test fit my 20 year old wood 1/64 scale Artesina Latina Mayflower in it's glass case in the car last night and it fits! So that's coming as well.

A friend is bringing his laptop to the show, so it will be possible to post photos while there.  That way we can keep the fellas (and gals) on the forum up to date on the latest shenanigans.

Too bad the overseas manufacturers will not be attending this year.  I always enjoy the Zoukei Mura and Special Hobby booths.  I wonder if Revell will be showing any hardware from their upcoming 1/48 SR-71.  Yes ladies and gentlemen, if you have not heard, Revell Germany will be releasing a new tool kit this fall.

I didn't see "Risky Business" either! 

I don't believe Risky Bussiness is on the required viewing list 
I need to check my resources but I think you're safe there.

Never careed for Seger either except for "Turn the Page". I think Metalica does a better job of it anyway.

Yeah, viewing the original Star Wars in 77 on the big screen for the first time...........

Perry, nothing big, just something you can fit in your carry-on Big Smile

I didn't see "Risky Business" either!  Big Smile  After seeing Tom Cruise slide into view in his underwear so many times in the trailer on TV, I decided that was more than enough.  Although I do know one quote from the move:  "So...who's the U-boat captain?"  And yes, the Bob Seger song.  Not a fan - my fav Silver Bullet Band song is "I feel like a number".  I did watch "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Porky's".  Surprise

I DID see Star Wars in the theater back in the summer of 1977.  It changed my movie life forever.

On an unrelated note, I stayed up all night working on my model.  Indifferent I need to get it ready for the paint shop.

    MC nothing crazy please 1. it is just another day 2. I fly out on the 21st I think in the early evening. Like I said just being able to meet you guys...and ladies...is more than enough for me.

Actually, I should not be using that line, as I never watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

Neal, I believe that's required watching. That and the original Star Wars trilogy.

Well Perry, thanks for the heads up Big Smile I'll have to do something about that.

Art, I hope your doing better up there and it was wonderful (not the circumstances) to see you here in my neck of the woods. It was the least I could do to bring you some essential items for you stay in our lovely city.

Beat you guys to saying HI to Steve.  Had a short stay in Boise, And he dropped by to say HI, and drop off a phone charger and some reading material.  Get to see him in another month and give him a new kit.

Steve - As Batman from Batman Begins said "I'll look into it."

Perry - Mac nuts covered with chocolate, toffee and powdered sugar?

I almost forgot to mention the ultimate Hawaii souvenier - pineapple motiff pot holders!  Any takers?  Stick out tongue

So who else is definitely going?  Beuller?  Bueller...

Actually, I should not be using that line, as I never watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

 Something doused with heavy coconut fragrance?

  I can come up with a few ideas, but the wife wonudn't approve Wink

Although, she is lamenting a pair of flip flops she got on Kawai (I know you're on Oahu) that blew out a couple of years back. They were black with turtles on them. Just in case you happen to see a pair when you're out and about, she wears an 8 1/2 to 9. Please do not go out of your way.
