Thank you for the well written response. I know you've been around the hobby and IPMS a long time, not sure if you've ever served in any capacity aside from your local club but honestly, the board could use a guy like you on it.

Chris has an ax to grind. EVERYTHING he said about the person who took the photo in this editorial...IS FALSE. EVERYTHING. But it will go out to the membership at large as gospel because it is coming from the Editor. Somewhere over the last three months of this issue brewing in the Editors head, he missed the FACT that the photographer went to the judges with the issue...even before the "photo", he voiced his concern to the head armor judge...the photo was taken later on as "proof", and then was not put on to "social media" until well after the show. The following weeks saw the letter written by a Sci Fi judge and the controversies that followed it (leading to judges resigning, etc., etc.) we all know the rest. It was done. Over. And now, in the Nationals recap issue, the premier issue of the quartiles, the issues are dragged back into the light for no other reason than for one person to rant on "like a pentulant pre-teen" with a magazine editorial column. As if one column in the Journal hadn't caused enough turmoil, here's yet another. Did we not learn? I've met Chris on occasion at various Nats, purchased his products, and found him to be a smart guy, interesting to talk with, nice gentleman who has done a lot for the hobby and IPMS USA. This editorial does nothing for IPMS USA. ** I do apologize for piggybacking this onto your thread but it seemed the most related to the latest news.

Good call by the Editor to rehash these past months hog wash by dragging it back out into the society with his latest Editorial We all moved on... As a dues paying member, I don't agree with the Editor using MY magazine as a personnel sounding board. Keep it modeling related.

That was a great show, and a great time. Man, I miss all you goofy SOBs... 😕 Allowing myself to be selfish here...the only pics I have from 2019 are my own entries that I pulled off of various sites or forums...I never find time for photos, and one of our club members (Southern Maryland Scale Modelers) in front of our club entry (NASPLANE).

Saw the memo. Good call 👍 See you in '23.

Any news?

Same...wife and daughter planned a trip to Austin along with but if no live music venues and bars are open and happening then no sense in going to sit around the hotel.

Hays County requires masks...I.e. where the Nats is being held requires masks...there will be MASKS!

Point of Information: Hays County (San Marcos...) Judge orders Face Masks: https://www.sanmarcostx.gov/3084/COVID-19-Orders

Not since MAY 31st... 🕰️

My mistake... Argument, back on! 😐🍿 ‼️

TX has implemented mandatory wearing of masks...so we can move on from that argument. 😷

👆 This ...this is why we want to know if it is go or no go and when a "💩 of get off the pot " call will be made.

I agree. They need to probably consider cancelling. I'm booked to go...but more and more on the fence about it the more I hear about the cases going up in the general area (Austin/San. Marcos/Hays County). I want to be there as much as the next guy but I think it is going to be a lack luster Nats at this point anyway. The silence from the organizers is becoming deafening.

Any news??
