I went to the National Convention last time it was in Orlando. I'm definitely going again. Even if you don't enter a model, you have never seen so many great models in one place.

This just in guys,I might not be able to make it.I will not know till around the week of the show.

[Mister Twister]

If you can afford to be there it will be worth the while to attend a show of this caliber. Its so close for me I can't afford not to be there. I hope to meet some of you guys that weekend also!

But Wayne, I only wear the shirt on meetings days.

So, I should look for the smelly green shirt? LOL!!

[crazyjim]

Depends what day you're going. The shirt will be fresh & clean on Wednesday. It might be getting nasty around Sunday morning.

[tooltas]

i would like to know what price of just going one day

[crazyjim]

I've heard it's about $10.00. Go check the IPMS/USA site.

Okay the website says Aug 8 (Wednesday) through the 11th (Saturday). What day is the contest? What day do models get dropped off? I haven't been able to find this info.

[metalhead5]

You can start dropping off models at 2 pm on Wednesday. The contest starts on Wednesday and goes thru Saturday night when awards are haneded out. Judging is done Friday night behind closed doors by numerous judges. Just like Jaxcon but runs for 4 days. You'll have a good time. This is my 3rd one.

[Jantrix]

When is the latest you can drop off models?

[crazyjim]

From the volunteers wanted list, it appears model registration ends at 6:30pm on Friday.

[1320wayne]

Here is a link to the schedule of events.

Thanks Wayne. Looks like I'll be there after all. I'm not sure if my stuff is up to snuff on a national level, but it will be fun.

By the way guys, of those going, how many of you are going to compete? I'm sorta on the fence myself. This would be my first national show.

[crazyjim]

My first national show too, Rob. Since I paid $45 to register, I'm putting in a bunch of builds. I think it's going to be a great time.
