Mini-con In Progress

I have to second the motion... great job guys.  BERSERKR and I couldn't show up until Sat. evening due to prior commitments, but we did arrive in time for the banquet, to meet many attendees, and to take advantage of the freely offered "tech support" when we couldn't quite get connected at first.   Hopefully this does become an annual event, and we can make it earlier in the week next time.  We would  like to have been able to spend more time with everyone, though we did understand the "burn out factor" after everyone was gone to the airshow all day.  Though most retired somewhat early Sat. night, BERS and I had to make up for lost time.  (see "still flying.jpg" in the collection of pics I posted here .)  I think I set up the auto timer to take that one about 3 a.m.  BERS and we ended up staying up until after breakfast, then crashed at 8:30 for about 2 hrs., and headed home.  We are looking forward to the next time!  <<>>

man you guys need to come to the Texas con!!!!!!  Been thinking about starting up my AH account again.  Been too long since I've flown a good 190. Is the 900th still active in game?

Thanks for kind words guys. It was great to meet you all and I had a time of my life.

The whole thing went pretty smoothly, and we did not lose too much money either. If Funked is up to it, I'll definitely try it again next year.

Funked had a great time at the CA mini con.  You guys did a great job!


Was able to meet several I had not before and visit again with several squadies (maddog, puke, Makarov9, vaderr, and TeeeRex), and some wives. :) Lazs those were nice hand guns.  Did you go to a range? If you do next time let me know I would have enjoyed a few rounds. :) Ramzey pleasure to meet you. Glad your are enjoying the states. :) Karnak, GRUNHERZ, Trigger and the rest take care.

Ooooooodeeeeeee!
Funny you should mention it.... I was tellin BERS, my main vacation next year is set for spring time, so I dont have to decide between the con and takin the wifey somewhere..I can probably get time off to do both...lol.  We are definitely going to try to make it there, obviously depending on work schedules, $$$, etc.  As far as the Jags, BERS, myself, and JoyFul are still pretty active, along with a new guy that BERS and I work with that we have pretty much dragged in to the addiction, BIGDAWG4.  What would we have to do to convince ya to come back???  Hmmm... maybe that shouldn't be left so open.. lol.  Follow the Nike pitch and "Just Do It".  It would be great to wing it up with you again.  BERS and I were just talkin about it a couple days ago in fact.  Hope to see ya up!

...and not to hijack the thread... Funked and Miatla... Thanks and again.  :D  Next time we will come earlier, and actually have something to do with the guns we brought.. lol.  (Well, there was the one rather shady lookin character outside the Lyons restaurant next door at about 3 a.m., but hopefully there wasn't any forensic evidence left behind. ;)

What a great weekend.  Thanks to everybody who attended and it was great to meet you all.  Also many people took initiative to solve problems and take care of things that came up during the weekend, which saved me a lot of time and stress.  What a great group.
I have yet to do the financial post mortem but I think it worked out just fine, and we'll probably do something similar next year.  !!!!

Also the guest speakers, Bob Hornbeck and Jason Stewart, have asked me to pass along their thanks for making them and their wives feel so welcome.

I'm really glad you guys could make it and glad you had fun that night/morning.  I felt kind of bad that everybody was so tired and crashed early on Saturday, but it sounds like it didn't slow you two down much.  :)

Funked can you send me their mailing address or their e-mail address? I would like to write each of them thanking them for their time to share with us.

daddog with a handgun!  no way... the man is mean enough in person with his bare hands..  I was scared to even be around him.  I think he is a hit man or something in real life.

Yep...daddog... only now in the safety of my own home can I write his name... still can't say it out loud... gunfighter eyes I tell ya.

teerex... another old fart... a contemporary of mine... Harley's, hot rods and such..  like talking to someone I grew up with.

funked and SOB and grun... whenever they said they were getting hungry... we backed off... It was wise to count heads if they didn't get food on schedule... I think funked ate a baby.

Oh if it was a buffet, lazs, I hope you got in before them.  They are just growing boys, you know.

Sounds like a great time was had, glad everyone made it to/fro safely
