Pics and menu look like a nice, semi-upscale place. Wondering how the food is?

That escalated quickly.

I had no idea EZ Line came in different colors.
I'd recommend ceramic wire.

I can't look at this without my sunglasses!

Man, those are nice!

Tamiya 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6. I finished this up early last month, but didn't feel like shooting it until today. Built out of the box, with only ceramic wire antenna added. Airbrushed with MRP RLM 74/75/76.

Thats gorgeous!

There's a discreet link across the top of the opening banner, but, by this time of the year, there's always been a prominent link with the Convention theme featured on our homepage. Why not this year??

Thats REALLY cool, Bill!
Hobby Express in Cranberry TWP has a full rack of the Revell acrylics. Haven't tried them yet.

Today was held our 2023 Vacation Picks....
WooHooooo, I got the week off for Nationals!!!
I can't wait to place a bunch of mediocre models on the tables that won't win anything.
The best part? In-N-Out Burgers!!!!!!

I remember reading about this a month or so ago....John Bonnani was spearheading the project (Thank you, John). Looking forward to the results.

Good BBQ would sell more banquet tickets.
Have you considered having food trucks roll up during the day? Several local shows have started doing this to rave reviews. There's not much nearby, and "up the road" and/or "across" the interstate involves a 2 mile drive which will come as a surprise to those not accustomed to one-way frontage roads, and the u-turn lanes before the lights will frustrate some.
This is a great idea.

Traveling is as much a Gastronomical adventure as anything else, therefore, I would ask of Mr. Pillhofer and company to put forth their best local restaurant recommendations. I understand how subjective food is, so no static.
Where would you suggest for the:
Best Authentic Mexican
Best Italian
Best Steakhouse
Best Seafood
Best Vegan (My wife is Pescatarian..maybe you are, too).
I'm asking locals for local recommendations. Believe me, I've looked at Trip Advisor. I believe about 30% of what they say.

Very cool, Duke!

Just out of curiosity I tried booking a room at the embassy suites during our convention and it is showing the hotel is sold out!
There is a total of 283 rooms at the hotel and our block is 260.Mike
Me too.

Which other hotels are going to be convention hotels?

Here's everything y'all need to know pertaining to Madison's 2024 Nats at this point. We are still a long way off, although there's much work to be done between now and then.
This is, of course, Mad City's first National Convention. The clubs in the region are excited, and the team is enthusiastic and full of great ideas to make the attendee experience memorable and enjoyable. We'll do our utmost to implement whatever additional amenities we can without losing our mission focus of accomplishing all of the boiler-plated tasks required of every national convention.
That being said, we're already getting negative feedback from people..."It's too far", "I hate the Wisconsin Badgers", "I got a DWI up there in 1987, so I'm never going back to Wisconsin", (yes, these are real) etc... Please keep in mind, we have a job to do, and its not an easy one. If you choose not to attend because you hate the Wisconsin Badgers (and I'm a NY transplant, so enough of that) or it's too far for you to travel, that's on YOU, not on US. We're sorry that we're way up here in the frozen tundra of the Midwest. Regardless, no matter where the National Convention happens, it inevitably becomes a very long drive for someone. If you choose to make that LONG journey from where ever you are, we will do our best to make it a wonderful experience for you and your families. Now...back to work...

When we bid for the 2003 show the VP had a VERY helpful publication to aid any group considering a bid. I'm sure he'll send it to you. Just ask. It answers all questions you may have about bidding.
Thanks Rusty, I'm not a member of any club. No interest in bidding on anything outside of EBay. Just found the report fascinating. I don't get out much.

Just read the proposal for the 2024 Convention. I found it fascinating to read about the inner machinations of bidding for a show.
And, I learned my buddy Jeff Herne is the Convention Chair… it’s gonna be a great show, brother!

Thats spectacular, Gil. Gonna have to re-start mine one of these days.

Thank you Jim. The issue stemmed from when we first got the contract with them for a Nationals, but it was given to someone else. A few years later, we got it and the hotel was compelled to honor the quote, even though it was far lower than they would have given us. Therefore, in an attempt to recoup some costs; they were putting a charge on anything and everything that they could. Thus the fiasco with the computers.
I had such a great time at that show!

I helped my oldest son build this, back in the day. I remember it being a bitch to complete, but he did well with it. Yours is fantastic. First model in 35 years, and you illuminated it?? Bravo.

And thank you for doing so. I should've posted this sooner, I appreciate all that you do for us Eric.
