Evilhalfling Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I finished an entry! #2 is a two days at the most. #3 needs to done first so I can send it with people driving instead of carry-on. - it is the furthest from completion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! I am >< that close to being finsihed with painting my lone entry. I need to let some glue dry, then paint over that, and finish painting a pillow, then a good day's worth of curing before I hit it with some clear. Then all I need is some vegetation details and I'll be done. Now I'm pondering if I should add some sort of handling base to it. It's sorta self basing, but a small wooden circle painted black merely so no judge worries about picking it up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagdson Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I want to attend, but not at 200-300 dollars per night somewhere out there. I may just sleep in my van, assuming the local police are not like the ones in Grapevine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keianna Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 So, I didn't see a room share thread this year. Mods, feel free to pop this out if you think it needs its own. My friend and I are looking for a roommate for the con. Her husband was going to go with us, but had to back out due to work. We have a 2 queen room at the embassy suites for Wednesday through Saturday nights. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 So what MSP contest category would a Reaper 40' Cargo container go in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a lot of mods? Maybe open. Have a mech ripping out of it while the military police surround it in an ensuing fire fight?

Inarah Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I found a handful of leftover "+2 vs COVID" ribbons from last year. There are less than 20 so find me on Wed or Thurs if you want one. Like last year, no card needed, I'll take your word for it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 While I remembered, Early Birds purchased for my SW flights. Since I'm leaving Boise around 5 am on Weds, no way I wanted to wake up at 5 on Tues & same thing for return trip home. Extra cash worth spending. Getting close, 2 more work nights (tonight & Saturday night), hopefully Pathfinder Society tomorrow night at the FLGS & vacation time! Helps I took vacation last month & that personal day off early this month. I'm not in that "need a vacation" mode. Hmmm, interesting just noticed my flight stops at PHX instead of Vegas when I booked. Kinda disappointed as I enjoy seeing the LV from the air. I knew there was a change, just didn't notice it was a different city altogether. Either way, flights are still the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 @haldir If you have a long enough layover in Phoenix, and are hungry, there is a French bakery/restaurant in one of the terminals. Best French dip sandwich I have ever eaten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
