that turned into about 45 minutes |

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 |

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 |

|
Bye, Doug. |

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 |

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 |

No judge involved....just the security chief. |
| 6-8 2:17:06 |

| 6-8 2:16:55 |

tell it to the judge Thom |
| 6-8 2:16:26 |

(that goes for Ellen and Mike too) |

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. |

gnite Ellen |

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 |

oh Thom |
| 6-8 2:11:47 |

Bye, Ellen. |

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 |

|
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 |

|
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 |

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? |
