ssharkey Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I won't be going, but 2009 in Columbus is doable. I have 14 months to save up. Already doing some searches for best routes and hotels for 2009. Anyone have an idea where it is going to be held?Have fun in Virginia Beach everyone. Wayne Wayne, Sorry - just got on the site, but I'm registration chairman for Columbus. The venue is the Greater Columbus Convention Center, hotel is the Hyatt Regency at 350 N High Street. Our web site will be up August 10th (after I get back from Va Beach) at www.ipmsusa2009.org. Nothing there yet, though. We look forward to seeing you in 09 in Columbus. -Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm out. Canceled my hotel reservation today. Just can't afford a $800+ hotel bill on top of everything else right now. Might stop by on Saturday to see what hasn't been picked over at the vendors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tiger40 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 hey guys i have all ready started to look at the hotels in the columbus area that are 3 to ten miles from the main hotel i dont know if i am going to stay at the main hotel but the ones i have found are very reasonable and they are not fleebags either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jholt Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 hey guys i have all ready started to look at the hotels in the columbus area that are 3 to ten miles from the main hotel i dont know if i am going to stay at the main hotel but the ones i have found are very reasonable and they are not fleebags either If you are going to get a hotel 3-10 miles from the convention hotel be sure to rent a car as well, unless you are already driving. When you combine it with parking and gas you just might make up the difference. Wait until after VA Beach when we start 'selling' 09 to make a decision though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve N Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I wish the AF Museum still did the evening "open cockpit" events for special groups. I got in on a couple of those back in the early '90s. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tiger40 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks Scott Great I havent been there in ten years way before all the renos happened that one tour i am going to pick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garthk Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm mostly a lurker out here, but I managed last-minute approval from my better half to go down to Nats for a couple days. It sounds like there are a number of hospitality suites and events other than those listed on the IPMS site. Is there a consolidated list anywhere of times and locations (and if there are any restrictions on attending)? Many thanks! --Garth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jkelleycrna Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm attending, Don, as previously discussed. Arriving sometime Wednesday morning, leaving Sunday morning. Staying at the Doubletree with my newly-acquired roommates from Modeler's Warehouse (Warpigs). Should be an outstanding event, I'm really looking forward to it. 14 days!!!!!!!
