I never bother with that.
Plenty of Corellian freighters headed that way.
Hitch a ride with Lando Calrissian; best pilot in the galaxy.
But make sure ya register your droids with the Empire.[;)]
Darned near choked on my coffee laughing on that one. [:)]
BTW, I’d have been at that Butch O’Hare show in a heartbeat had I known about it. Was that an IMPS regional thing?
Bet Steve would have come down to that, too.

Enjoy! [:D]
my IPMS club in Denver, Rob Wolf, has breakfast every Saturday right next to the LHS. usually have at least 10 folks, sometimes more unless there is a contest somewhere.
my wood shiip club, Rocky Mountain Shipwrights, does a workshop once a month where folks show up and build.
in both cases these infromal meetings tend to be better than the formal ones.
These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
Regarding meals and club meets, our IPMS folks usually have an after meeting meal at a local Dennys. And our AMPS guys are strictly hardcore- no food, just a gathering before and after the meeting at a LHS. Oh the humanity!

will have to arrange something
Our group (7) usually meets around 6:30 (when we can all get together) and we take turns with whose house. We also take turns bringing the food. Hoagies/ Pizzas/wings, fruit, cakes/pies, sodas are the usual foods of choice, all pre-arranged beforehand. After eating, we usualy have a show and tell of what we’re working on for the next show and talk about who’s going and who’s driving. Sometimes we spend a lot of time listening to the war stories of an honorary member who is 93 years old and was a P-47 pilot in WWII. We take turns calling him and arranging to pick him up. We also take turns taking him and his wife out to dinner once in a while. He used to build models when he was younger and still has them. I really hope that I’m in the same shape as he is IF I get to be that age.
I just finished building a 1/48 P-47 for him with all the markings of his plane. I gave it to him last month. One of the other members built a 1/48 EF111 for his son who flew them. Joe wants me to take the P-47 to MosquitoCon. I wasn’t going to but that’s what he wants so I’ll be there with the P-47 and a few other builds.

Waynec and Fox… That is exactly what I am talking about. You guys are doing it. Very cool indeed.
Hmmmmm;
There is a problem with that though . I don’t think there’s a venue big enough to hold us all though . Darned nice idea though . T.B. Besides in the everyone carry state it might be scary . Texas , that is .
Goose, thanks for the info, pics and link re the Butch O’Hare show.
Much appreciated and maybe next year…
Check the Butch O’Hare website next year.
It is a fun show.[H]
Did someone mention Butch O’Hare?..
I’m a member and there’s another member that frequents these haunts as well. I’ll let him call himself out.
Butch O’Hare is an awesome group. There’s a wide range of experience in the room. Good people.
I think the next annual show is sheduled for November 11.
If you’re in the area drop in for the monthly meeting. You can find our location here: http://www.butchoharemodelers.com/directions.html
I’ll need to check it out provided homework from my night classes doesn’t require staying glued to the computer rather than getting outside.
Thankfully, the meeting time permits driving there after the worst of the Chicago winter Rush Hour has cleared. [:D]
Yeah that might be something I could check out as well.
PS: Strange thing. For some reason I stopped getting emails when someone posts to this thread. It shows that I am subscribed to it. Another glitch I guess.
Cool beans! I’ll see you guys Friday night then.
Anybody going to be in the Ft Myers FL area the first week of March. Going to be down there on vacation
The other Butch O’Hare member is …ME!!! Looking forward to Friday night and getting to see everyone before I go into surgery on Tuesday. Later.
