DUDES!
Got the day off! Austin, here I come. Tony, you got the tablespace to hang the banner? I'm traveling light so we'll have more room for more whiffers. Did you get a hold of EddieM or Retro70s?

I've known about this show for a long time but forgot until now. I won't be there at doors open because I have to make a trip to College Station for a hazardous waste disposal collection. I can probably make it before noon. Should I bring Hogzilla?

Just got back from the Austin show. Scooterman had them eating Twiglets out of his hand! Ron had them mind boggled with his work and Rotorhead Tx. has the most impressive collection of helos on the EARTH!! It was especially cool to meet Captain Canada while he's down in these parts. Looking forward to the next show!!

Agreed! I had a great time, and truly appreciate the contributions of my fellow Whiffers.
One thing that stuck me was just how quickly the day passed - it definitely ended too soon!

I was thinking the same thing, Tony ! Being my first ever show, I got there thinking " you guys sit around here all day ? " Then 'boom ! ', amongst all the laughter, camraderie, plastic fondling and ideas, it was over !

It was great to meet you guys, and to get to see, touch, and perhaps fly your work. Special thanks to Brad "the man" for the ride and invite. Also for the hospitality back at Chateau Scooter, as well as a few lovely parting gifts ! Also like to thank Eddie for the idea, and Rotorhead for the directions, to the very neat museum at Camp Mabry. Also thanks to the Toolslinger for letting me fly around his awesome work.

I demand piccies.

Especially of anything to do with Twiglets.

Talk to Scoot - my photos are garbage - didn't reset the exposure level and white balance after my last outdoor session, and you can guess the results.

Captain Canada · October 10, 2010, 11:08:34 AM

I forgot to even take pics ! Good thing I brought my camera......d'oh !

Oh heck I just realized that Doc Yo came by with his super cool masters of spaceships from the TTA books and I was so busy drooling I did not take one pic

SORRY DOC

Captain Canada · October 10, 2010, 02:53:31 PM

Thanks for the pics ! We sure did love all those helo's !
