Wonderfest 2010?

I hadn't really said anything to anyone because missing WF is a pretty sore spot with me. If our annual Disney World trip hadn't been the following week I would have tried to come anyway. After the lose of that much cash I couldn't swing both trips and I really didn't want to disappoint my kids.

Woody, it just shows that you have your priorities straight - family FIRST, hanging out with middle-aged guys who still build plastic spaceships Second.

Griff's just a big 'ol cigar-smoking teddybear, he doesn't scare people off.  And with everything that goes on at a Wonderfest, it can be hard to connect with people and just chat.  Marc King & I have been trying to do just that at the past 2 Wonderfests!

Yeah I met Jeffery at WF 2005, a great guy. I believe we chatted about some Terran Trade Authority books you had with you. Blappy was also a great guy to talk to. Man how I wish I could have made an appearance.

I'm guessing it would be unkind of me to point out that this year's WF was a very good one.

The contest was especially good - with the exception of a couple of gag entries, there wasn't a bad model in the bunch. Time was, you'd get a few excellent models, a lot of average ones, and one or two clunkers (a few of my own have fallen into this category). This year they were all really good. I blame the internet.

You did the right thing though - family does come first. Maybe we can try to make it up to you next year.

Trust me, even gag entries take a wee bit of planning and work.  These 2 ships were protest statements to Wonderfest 2009's DiscoPrise:

Oh, I know.
