My parents (both this time -dad was a lil upset that he missed last year :() and I will be flying out there to CA about a week before the convention.

Steve Filak Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Unfortunately, it's not looking all that great for me to be going. Of course, it's still early, but I'm putting a new deck on the pool this spring, and my oldest son will be going to college in September, so I'm going to need to salt some money away. I'll know better by March or April, but I'm honestly not counting on it at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 My wife and I looked at the family finances and family debt load and I won't be attending. I have no doubt it will be a first class show....there's some top notch modellers on the West Coast. Steve B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 88 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) BWHAHAHAHAAHHAHA As of right now I'll be there, you never know something very important can come up. I do not know what model I'll be bringing yet, but I'm thinking of bringing a Super Hornet (Of course) or maybe a Tomcat.....

StevenatorLTFO Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm sitting this one out. It will be the first one I will miss in 7 years. VA Beach in 08 looks good tho!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Had originaly planned to go & make it a combo nats/family vacation to see our oldest son & his wife. After getting the schedule, looks like '08 will be the next one due to the late date of this one. Good to go, Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Cant make it to this one, too many other obligations. Bring on 2008 in VA Beach! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Honestly don't know - it's the closest one to me since I've been paying attention, but it sort of depends on A) the air wing schedule money (my truck got hit yesterday on I-80 outside Reno in one of the first winter storms... driveable but ugly and due to its age, I have a sneaking suspicion USAA will call totalled - oh, and I too hope to put on a deck on my house before moving back to Oak Harbor with an eye to either selling or renting...) If I go, I might go by motorcycle (hey, it's summertime, why not?? Besides, a full size truck and the much celebrated vendor's room might make for a fiscal disaster for me!! :D ). If I do take the truck (either this one or it's successor), I might bring something to show but not compete, if they have that option (I've heard some convetions do that).

Matt Shropshire Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Well, it's in my backyard. I plan on going, if anything for the vendor room. There is an outside chance I might enter something for the first time ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazydon Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I doubt I can go, I've work around the homestead I need to do next summer and plan using some vacation time for it Virginia Beach 08...and there is allready betting pools on my models not being ready by then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jholt Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) As of right now I am going. The Hotel is booked and I have a free round trip ticket voucher, with drink coupons to boot, on Southwest. I just need to squirl away some cash for models, Disney, and other 'entertainment' and I'm good to go. The wife and kids were going to go but my wife said she didn't want to go so as of right now I have a vacation all to my self on So. Cal.

Todd Enlund Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) I plan on going. I'm bringing beer. Maybe a model if I can finish one. Driving from Portland, and stopping for beer along the way. Ruud can vouch for that. Edited December 19, 2006 by Todd Enlund Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscusn Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'll be there, only a 30 min drive from here. Will be the first Nat I've ever been to to other than the local shows in the OC. (La Habra chapter if it still exists). I will not bring anything despite the long lead time. (never say never). Also would like to plan a gathering here at my home prior to the show, BBQ, pool party etc.... Chuck Fly Navy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Gudbergsson Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I am planning on attending, as of now. My wife and my daughter Andrea, and maybe the inlaws, if they want to go again,.. can go to Disneyland for as few days. And I will build something between now and then to present to the NATS however pathetic they may look. I am not a member of the IPMS, is there an online site application where I can join. Cheers :D Andy G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philp Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Andy, Go to www.ipmsusa.org There is a link there to sign up. Hey, put my # in for referal and I get a 2 month extention (#8739) Right now we are planning a family vacation there with the convention probably more for me and maybe my oldest.

StarTux Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I live less than two hours away, so have no excuse. And I should be back from the UK by then if my family let me back on the plane LOL. As for entering, we shall see . Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snake111 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Things are looking pretty good for the wife and I to attend also, just depends on what happens between now and then. Brian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IainM Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hey Anthony!!! Geoff and I are thinking about it. If I can get the time away from work we will most likely be there. I'll be in a position to be pretty sure about it in a month, maybe sooner. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
