Ariel Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Boy what a weekend. Had a blast at the cheeseburger place(which we where all going to meet at Fuddruckers)but Mike Whatshisname decided to stay and so did everyone else. Good decision Mike!!!!! . I guess the NNL Eats next year will also be there. Great time with old friends and getting to meet new ones. it was nice to meet Rick Forester, Tom Kren, Mark from M&S Hobbies, Bill from BHP (Hey Bill remember Johnny Miller) Andy from Ardvark(thanks for bring a porsche and setting it aside for me), VWNUT (came by the MCM table) Kevin from missing link, Jeff from MotorCityResin, Billy Kingsley and if I forget anyone don't feel offended I damaged acouple brain cells this weekend. Well should have my pics up soon, some pics from the NNL Eats also. http://public.fotki.com/modelnut/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glue_Crue_John Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Yeah, Still recovering from the Sprue Flu, we also had a FANTASTIC Time, and our Hats are off to the Gang at TSSMCC. We're a part of the real early days of NNL East, been back in '06 and now '08. This show just keeps getting better and better. And we get a little older too I guess. Already dreaming up plans for '09 & '10! While it was all about the Plastic (& Resin), I think seeing old friends like Ken Hamilton, Rick Hanmore, Carl Pomponio, Matt Trotta, Eric Rudy, Vinnie LoBosco, Chuck Stark, Mike Callan, and the Gang Speaking French (Globe 25), is what this happenin' is all about. Meeting up with Friends. . . . and remembering those who have departed our ranks such as Joe Cavorley, John Slivoski & Paul Skoda. This past weekend was the BEST time we've had a Model Car Event since our "Adirondack Glue Crue" Daze. Special Thanks to Tom, Ken and the TSSMCC Gang for a GREAT Event!

Well should have my pics up soon, some pics from the NNL Eats also. http://public.fotki.com/modelnut/ That was a great idea to stay at the Burger place. I met a lot of people including the California and Ohio gangs. Thanks to Rogelio (I hope I spelled that right) for never letting my beer glass get empty (even when I wanted it to be). I had a blast that night. If you have ever seen the movie "Cocktail" with Tom Cruise that is what the bartenders were doing. It was quite a show behind the bar. They were tossing full beer mugs 2 and 3 at a time and not dropping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I agree with you guys, it was a fantastic event....and I'm still kinda reeling from it all, but very happy to have been a part of it. John couldn't have said it better: while having models on the table is a nice part of the NNL, most of my time is usually spent meeting new faces and catching up with ones I have met in previous years - hard to believe it's been about 21 years since me and the Glue Crue first hooked up, no? So much has changed since then, yet so much has stayed the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveInTheHat Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I agree! The NNL was great. I'd say the best one yet. This show has come along way since the first one. I think the new location is a lot nicer too. Kind of a wild ride to get there with all the looping around, but thats NJ. The lighting was much better and the expanded vendor area was great. I had a nice time. Its always good to see my old (haha) friends. I'm looking forward to next year already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Whatshisname Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It was a great idea to stay but I can't take all the credit for that idea. Rick F. first mentioned it earlier that day and I just took it and ran with it. The gang at Cheeseburgers in Paradise worked with us and it turned out to be a great evening. Here's to the Tri-State guys for topping last years show and to another great 4 years at the same place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR BIGGS Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well let me start off by saying that mine and santiagos visit to jersey will go down as one of the best times I had hanging out with my buddies. When we showed up to the burger joint we where greeted with a hello a handshake and a Guinness beer and they kept coming. So that tells you something about them jersey guy’s and all the other gents who where there. Ariel one hell of a guy made me feel welcomed along with Gregg, Rick, Tom, Mark, Bob, Mike, Marcos and All the other guy’s that where there sorry if I missed a few. All I can say is that you All are real genuine. This is something I will keep with me for a long time and look forward to doing it again next year. I got to meet a lot of new friends from the forum along with some of my members from our club like dr nitrous aka Renato and now I can put the face to the name thanks to Gregg and his nametag idea. Now for the show itself I would like to say they know how to put on a show if it wasn’t for all their signs they had posted on the rout we would have got lost. And to the TSSMCC they had it down packed to the T nothing was left out. JOB WELL DONE. I also have to congratulate Gary Kulchok and Marcos Cruz along with all the other winners on their wins. Now I got to rest and get ready for the Toledo Nnl in October. A special thanks to Ron Andrews for bringing me out that resin 454 when he did not have to and it was free of charge. My build for next year would still be on hold if it weren’t for him. Mr. Anthony Rios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I had a great time too, only brought one car to show though. Spent a ton of loot with the vendors (I'm SO broke this week), saw a lot of cool builds, met some new people and had an overall good time. It took us an hour to drive out from Long Island and less than 2 hours back, which is about right in the afternoon for crossing through The Bronx. Maybe next year I'll come out Friday night for the festivities, no wonder a few people had a wild look to them! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
