| 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 |
|
| 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? |
