Got a case of Stella, come in have a beer, spend a couple thousand , exchange wild stories. Just remember buy, buy, buy all in our room. If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.
Oh yeah while you are there buy a chance at the Kirk Douglas autographed playset box.
Checked the list of OTSN dealers for 2015. Austin Minitures was not on the list. Looks like we won’t be seeing the Japanese.
I’ll be walking into the Hyatt in about 40 hours!
Gary
Gary, where do you come from, if I might ask? I’m coming from Michigan, and expect to pull in to the Hyatt parking lot in about 55 hours myself. Apparently, you yourself are getting there on Thursday, whereas my arrival time is early Friday morning.
Gary
That is concerning news. We will have to what is heard at the show. Perhaps you will find out more at the show.
I’ll be there in about 28 hours.
Don, I live in St Louis. Would like to meet you. Here is my cell if you want to give me a call, 314 378 3936. I’ll get there Thur. around noon, usually will be at the Hyatt until around 8 – 9PM. I stay at The LaQuinta a half mile away. Will be there from 9AM until 9PM Friday, then Sat. 9AM until 2PM when I leave for home
Gary
Hi Gary:
I’ll record your cell phone and call you periodically at the show to see if we can meet to at least introduce ourselves to each other. I know you don’t want to be torn away from the room to room search for more than a minute or two.
But if you go to Indy I’m sure we’ll recognize each other, since there have been two other Missouri collectors that I’m sure you know. I can’t remember either name right now — but one’s the “Wall of Plastic” guy and the other is the person that just died unexpectedly last year from what was expected to be a routine surgery. I’m sure you would have known both of them quite well. As I said, I’m sure we’ll recognize each other. Just go about your normal business at the Hyatt and I’ll try your cell phone from time to time to see how close we are to each other. You’ll probably know my roommate — Bill Skinner— as well.
Don, I’ll be listening, although hearing my cell ,phone is not one of my better traits.
Only been to Indy once and that was over 10 years ago.
Gary
Gee, I know Gary and I know Don. I guess I know everybody now. Meet at Ed’s room for a beer or three and massive purchases.
