9-8 17:03:24 rvn2001 That's all it takes.
9-8 17:03:10 DAZed that turned into about 45 minutes
9-8 17:02:56 DAZed I decided to do "15 minutes" outside just to get some physical fitness of some sort
9-8 17:02:47 rvn2001 Doug has been working outside?
9-8 17:02:20 DAZed Doug is drenched in sweat.
9-8 17:01:58 rvn2001 So...how is Doug this afternoon?
9-8 17:01:39 rvn2001 I didn't even read who it was..... :(
9-8 17:01:17 rvn2001 Excuse me, Doug....
9-8 17:01:04 rvn2001 How are you this morning?
9-8 17:00:52 rvn2001 Hi Mike.
9-8 16:59:47 DAZed hi Thom
6-8 2:23:45 GNFan :ZU.
6-8 2:23:22 rvn2001 Alrighty then. You get the lights and I'll lock the door.
6-8 2:22:42 GNFan We're good, I think, Thom.
6-8 2:22:20 rvn2001 That leaves you and me, Mike. Anything we need to discuss?
6-8 2:21:48 GNFan Bye, Doug.
6-8 2:21:47 rvn2001 Have a nice night, Doug. Z ya Sunday.
6-8 2:21:20 DAZed well, I think I'm gonna call it a night, see y'all Sunday probably
6-8 2:19:34 rvn2001 Both of the groups at the show do their fair share of shows to promote Z scale.
6-8 2:18:40 rvn2001 ...and I got her calmed down.
6-8 2:18:10 rvn2001 No judge involved....just the security chief.
6-8 2:17:06 DAZed :P :D
6-8 2:16:55 DAZed tell it to the judge Thom
6-8 2:16:26 DAZed (that goes for Ellen and Mike too)
6-8 2:16:12 rvn2001 I followed a pick-up truck through the gate and got yelled at. The pick-up was the only vehicle moving at the time.
6-8 2:15:55 DAZed that is true Thom, thanks for promoting the hobby like you do. I appreciate it.
6-8 2:15:08 DAZed Thom don't be gettin' hit by a car, that would not be a good NTS story to tell
6-8 2:14:56 rvn2001 We do that at most shows, though.
6-8 2:12:54 DAZed Thom that is great. Z does seem to be getting a lot of attention of late
6-8 2:12:51 rvn2001 It was an on-purpose "mistake" Doug....
6-8 2:12:29 rvn2001 Nite, Ellen.
6-8 2:12:09 DAZed gnite Ellen
6-8 2:12:03 rvn2001 We brought Z scale to people who had never seen it and/or didn't realize what could be done in the scale.
6-8 2:12:00 DAZed oh Thom
6-8 2:11:47 GNFan Bye, Ellen.
6-8 2:11:25 ejshelton Think its time for me to head out.....ZU guys
6-8 2:10:59 DAZed well, everybody made it back safe and sound. Happy for y'all being able to have some fun running trains
6-8 2:10:52 rvn2001 I made the mistake of walking into the dock area despite the "No pedestrian traffic" sign.
6-8 2:08:33 DAZed ok, good
6-8 2:08:31 rvn2001 True, Doug. The security chief yelled at me the first time she saw me but was much nicer and helpful once I told her that I had been a security officer for 10 years.
6-8 2:08:01 ejshelton I agree with Thom. I noticed it was a very clean city.....we were downtown and there was not trash or homeless people that we saw
6-8 2:06:45 DAZed Thom, you speak their language
6-8 2:06:40 GNFan Same as Thom. Fallback location was mixed: poor lighting, but the firs show where we could get a view from above; Rotunda was waaaay far from the show entrance. Thom's flag near the show entrance, with an arrow pointing to our location helped send *some* showgoers to us.
6-8 2:05:51 rvn2001 We had to scrounge up chairs.
6-8 2:05:35 rvn2001 The convention center staff was problematic, although, the security officers were friendly and helpful.
6-8 2:03:38 rvn2001 We had to get a new key card almost every time we came back to the motel. The city itself is pretty nice.
6-8 2:02:56 DAZed ah, ok...the setup/teardown.....totally get that
6-8 2:02:23 DAZed or was the city not great, or ???
6-8 2:02:19 rvn2001 It's the unloading, setting up and loading back up again that I'm not fond of.
6-8 2:02:00 DAZed so y'all mentioned having issue prior....did the weird stuff keep happening?
