We should come up with a time and a meeting spot to take a group photo to throw up here on the forum (hopefully no one throws up when they see us) And yes, bring multiple pennies.  One has to calculate how much to bring.  This is an easy calculation.  First determine your GHIF (Gotta Have It Multiplier) subtract from that the WWKMD (Wife Will Kill Me Detractor).  You now have your NVIPMF (Net Vendor Induced Penny Multiplication Factor).  It is possible to make last minute adjusted when you return home using the IWTITR (I Won That In The Raffle) strategy.  Choose wisely as this can generally only be used on 1 item.

Ok, Down to a week!  Marc, I think the pic thing is a great idea.  You got the low down on logistics where and when do you suggest?

Marc,sorry not me don't care for Johnny anymore lol. although my dad still gets it from my Great Aunts and I think its funny. Cept for getting cars from auctions I stay local furtherst normally is Bridgewater we do police tows for them. slow today tho....

John

HEY WHO YOU CALLIN' DORKY?  Maybe a bit of a dweeb(see below)... but dorky? NEVER

John that would have been funny if it was you that did the tow.  he had on a shirt that said Johnny I figured I'd ask.  The good news is it wasn't my battery or my alternator...the dome light was on

Dorky,hey I resemble that comment lol

John

Hey, we build plastic models, its not like the rest of the world dont already think our hobby is not dorky in some ways already... so what do we have to lose? :)

Marc,no I was all local yesterday (to Bound Brook) 2 tows but spent all day there as my friend who works there is sick(they found another tumor in his mouth they missed the first time) so I was doing repairs the rest if the day.

John

Will refuse all OTs to be there! (well, at least for half a day =P)  I am prepping several kits for jerseycon so I am not bringing any over.  Bringing some coworkers to the show so I might not be able to stay to the full day either.  Hopefully with this new work project beginning right away in april, I can get out of Baltimore finally!!!  And away from the limited supplies I brought with me to the hotel!

Hey John...did you tow a pick up with ladders on it to the Goodyear on Easton yesterday?

Chris... yup that's what I generally do

Geeze all this hiding and sneaking makes me glad I'm now single lol,that stuff requires too much thought for me....

John

Guys, sounds like a plan.  I did win the Trumpeter F100-d Super Sabre last year in the raffle Though. 

Marc, That sounds like a lot of naughts and goesinta's involved.  How about the LIITCUSGTBATPIITS (Leave It In The Car Until She Goes To Bed And Then Put It In The Stash) strategy.

Hey, I like the group photo thing, how about in mid-afternoon?

But I did really win something in the raffle about 3 years ago! What am I gonna do this year? The saving grace is that I didn't buy anything last year even though I had money burning in my pocket!

I intend on heading up there always wanted to go and have never made it.This year no matter what I'm going.

John

I'll be THERE! With a stop the ATM first.....

Hope to meet some more fellow FSM memebers there, maybe we need to wear pointy hats of something...

padakr, Bring more than $6 with you.  The Nut is right it's worth every penny but you'll find your self spending more pennies at the vendors, then on tickets for the raffles, then get something to eat cause you realize you been there for hours and need nourishment, then when you go back to the vendors when you check out the awesome builds in the show and say to your self "I want me one of those!", and then..........Well you get what I mean  Hope to see a few people there.  It is a great time!

I've never been to a model show, so forgive a newbie question.

The flyer talks about registration fees for showing models.  But if I don't bring any, if I just want to stop in and look around, check out the vendors, that sort of thing, is there a entrance fee?

Now that's using the ol' noodle.

OH NO FRANK!!!  Please tell me you're not serious

Badger, if it were that "Mosquito" trust me, I wouldn't be going either

MISTER WingNut, SIR-

please understand that right now Mosquito Pass is under 5+ feet of snow.  As much as you want to hold a convention up there, it just ain't gonna happen until MAYBE July. 

Please understand, sir.
