Just a reminder for us west coasters!
I'll have stuff (trains and the portable layout) on display at the MLS booth Saturday and Sunday. I'll be the fat guy wearing a big ugly straw cowboy hat with the big ugly sunglasses covering my big ugly face, See ya there, Vic

Toad:
DA BOSS has already given me that very same instruction!
DA BOSS huh....da funny!!!!! I am glade I am not the only one who has a High Command he has to hear it from!
Oh yeah Vic, get me a very used LGB track cleaning loco. Body needs to be in ok shape, could careless if it runs!!!!!
Vic:
In another thread you told me to bring my "Gold" card. I've been looking at them and I don't have a "Gold Card". All I have is a thirty two year old Platinum, Think that will work? (That one is mine and SWMBO never will never see the statement.)
See ya in the morning.

I thought you were a fine up standing married man but this makes me wounder. Sweet Santa Fe had to apologise to you once.....so what is this??? Did you change your stand?

Ugly hat (cowboy, that is)
Ugly glasses
ugly flip flops
Dat's gotta be Vic.
Oh the horror!
And yuz guys wonder why I never show pics of myself
Had a nice chat with Tom, hope the wife is feeling better.
Got a ton of Q's on the pizza layout, my brother and my wife even stopped off at the show on their way to the Antiques Roadshow taping, so I got to spend some time with them. I even won an airbrush in the raffle! Overall it was a very very busy day for me, only time I really got to relax was just before the show ended!
Of all the things I saw the one wasnt the GR booth, anyone know where it was?
Going back tomorrow afternoon to pick everything up.

Well this is the 1st time I can say that those types of cowboy hats don't look to bad!
Ole Toad needs either Felt or Straw! Then again Vic your in LA and almost anything goes there!!!
One small detail, who was the gal who kissed you on your hand?
Wish I had more time to tell a story about me and my dad at our 1st and only show we went to Vic.
I notice just now Triggy did not use that card to get me a old LGB car......
Or even show his face....
user="ToadFrog&WhiteLightn One small detail, who was the gal who kissed you on your hand?
I wish I could say it was the product of my torrid love affair with Selma Hayak! but alas no, its just the re-entry handstamp they give you at the door.
You mean this chic?
Born Salma Hayek Jiménez on September 2, 1966 in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico to Sami Hayek and Diana Jiménez. Hayek's paternal grandparents were Mexicans of Lebanese descent, while her mother is of Spanish descent and her first name in Arabic means peace or calm. Bet you did not know that.
Now for a kicker, if you get her name right I will give you a ...... well we can not give nothing away on this board but here is my Hottie:
Sorry Rene, but you did make my top 10 Hottie Frogs Possie!
Vic may be a big doofus but he married up -

Tom,
Thanks for posting the photos and vids. After gassing up my truck on friday nite our planned trip to the show went rite down the dumper. Especially liked the use of the backdrops on the Sundance Central modules, just seems to add so much more to the exhibit but I would bet that they are a major pain to set-up. Wonder if they will make it to Del Mar this november with the "World's Greatest Hobby" tour.

O geez! two pics of my ugly mug, surprised this forum hasnt been shut down for posting pics capable of frightning children and small animals!
This weekend was very busy, too busy, I didnt get a chance to talk to some people like Tom as long as I would have liked , I didnt even get a chance to take any pictures myself! Not even of my own layout! I barely got to walk around, I think I missed alot of things at the show this time around. On the plus side the Pizza appears to have been a huge success, tons of questions and it acted like flypaper drawing people into our booth. I only spent about $40 and that was including my savory $8 hot dog lunch. I was planning on spending Sunday to walk around the show but some home issues kept me away from the show all day, until I barely had time to pick up my stuff at the end of the show Sunday. Oh Well, maybe i'll get it right next year....

1. What card? I spent about an hour looking for the guy that has always been there selling "spare parts bin supplies" (read "other people's junk).
2. Someone had to stand behind the camera to capture Vic.
