Thank you, Dick. I'll have to see what I can do about that, the ships.

Fortunately, I have my room reservation, but just now checking availability seems the block at Embassy, at convention rates, is no longer available. Are they now sold out?? Thanks for your help

Ah, thank you Mike, both Mikes, very helpful info!

Thank you for the info. Anyone know what Uber or Lyft charges? And finally, cost of the train/tram?

Might anyone be able to add costs of the several options? Thx, Skip

Yeah, another 3' or so wouldn't be too much to haul around, would it? Lol

Great! Thank you! Skip Hassler

Is there a model kit of the 3 inch, M-3, allied anti-aircraft gun?

Well, I went to Firefox rather than my usual IE11 and pulled up IPMS shop and was able to conduct business, no problem. Not my preference, but it worked. Thank you for your time and effort.

What I got was not exactly like what you sent, but I think the below conveys the requested info. The lower part is a print screen shot.

Thank you for your very detailed description. Your "embed" worked. But I haven't been able to get past the "Add to cart" button. I did enter trophy choices in the provided block. I thought maybe you went into the "online store" from the IPMSUSA site rather than from the 2018 convention site, but I tried to preregister myself there and again I could not get the "Add to cart" button to work. Maybe it's a computer malfunction on my end. Do you know if others are having success here. I'll try again tomorrow. Thank you

Neither worked

Does it matter what format (or order) they are entered. I tried just numbers, also descriptions with numbers in parentheses

"Looks" like trophy sponsorship is available, but I couldn't get the "Add to cart" button to work, so I guess the site is not active yet. If I'm doing something wrong, or maybe I'm a little early, I would like to know. Thanks for any help.

Hi Steve, Is there an email address I can contact you with. I can't seem to find one on your national contest site. Mine is skiphas@comcast.net Thanks, Skip Hassler IPMS # 5501

On hats, I have about as much hair as a billiard ball. In some air conditioned environments, I get cold. Believe it or not, a hat prevents loss of body heat and can add a degree of comfort in such environments, so I do wear a hat quite often, but will remove it if I perceive that I'm out of order. :) Skip

Albuquerque had a very nice convention in 1995.

Thanks for the info. Might be able to get by there some future time and see some nice models in person. Skip

Nice build and nice props, not the easiest thing to do. What museum, may I ask? Thanks, Skip

Thank you, Larry. I probably voted "For" the change without too much thought and have since, cast it from my memory. With hard feelings from west coasters, I wonder if it was such a good idea. Perhaps consideration should be given for the absent region to have a second chance for priority and if they miss that, then priority moves on. Priority would not excuse late bids, of course. If late, then competition follows. If lateness becomes habitual and a burden to the society, then perhaps the bidding schedule should be altered so that there would not be any undue burden to the society. I have to agree with west coasters, that they will probably never be able to compete evenly again with the present rules, in fact, probably no one will be able to compete with Omaha.

I am curious, was there an official "rule" that the convention site will be rotated, and that rule has now, officially, been changed?? I thought that the rule, (whether official or just a fairness convention) applied as long as a club from the next area, submitted a bid within the required parameters (including bid submission schedule). If there was no bid "on the horizon" at the appropriate time, then the bidding was thrown open to all areas equally.

Thank you, Jared. I'll check it out. Skip

Hi Jared, Thank you for that info about Facebook. Was getting worried that I would miss pertinent info, not being on Facebook. Very relieved, Skip

Thank you, Ralph, for the assurances, will keep my eyes peeled. And see you there. Thanks, Skip

I notice on the Hampton Convention site that they have a Facebook icon. I don't do Facebook. Is Facebook the "go to" place to get info about what's happening in Hampton? I notice no updates to the site under the News icon since November 7. More specifically, I wonder when we will be able to register for the convention. Info, please, Thanks, Skip Has
