Where will the Net54 members hang out in the evening while attending the National?
 

Since there won't be a Net54 dinner this year at the National, I was wondering where the NEt54 members will be hanging in the evening.

After I play with the cards that I just purchased at the show, I will probably head down to the bar in the hotel(Sheraton) that I am staying at.

Family and I will be staying at the Hilton and catching an Orioles/Angels game Thursday evening.

Wherever
 

After all the cards he sells; I can get Leon to pick up the check at the great seafood buffet I went to the last time I was in the area :p

And get Alan to join all of use for his discussion of the auction houses :D

Fells point thursday night. i would love to meet some others if interested.

I would like to get to get together some evenings as well. Just let me know what is happening. Thanks!
Jim

a few live auctions and
 

For me and some others it will probably be a few live auctions, otherwise we will probably be hanging out at the Hotel bars that are connected to the convention center (or are very close to it) and will be sipping some cold ones. It's always a lot of fun to hang around and chat in the bars with folks we communicate with, but don't get to see very often.

For us Baltimorons, Fells Point is the place to be!

Who all is having live auctions?

Heritage & Legendary, I believe...........

When are the live auctions?

HA - Thursday (8/5)
Legendary - Friday (8/6)

I'm going to track Leon down wherever he is & give him a http://forum.mydyingbride.org/images...s/beerchug.gif

Howard,
Seriously, that's a very good question. I was just talking to a few guys at the Chantilly show about that. My guess is that since there's no Net54 dinner this year, there will be probably be a lot of small groups getting together at their hotels/bars. I was thinking about coordinating something myself, but haven't as of yet. I do plan on going to some local places for crabs and http://forum.mydyingbride.org/images...s/beerchug.gif

It's like a skit on SNL.

Any other non-drinkers going to be at the National other than myself?

I am a non-drinker/smoker.....one of those pesky Mormons. I would love to meet some of you guys at an Orioles game....it's only across the street! Is this anyone's first time to Charm City?

I'm one of those pesky Baptist pastors. :) My buddy and I have tickets to the Thursday night game. T'will be my 3rd Orioles game in my lifetime; it's been 9 years since my last one.

I like Baptists just fine, perhaps we could meet? I love my Orioles too, even though they're terrible and will probably only draw 12-15K. Love that the National is in my back yard!

James

I'm laughing too hard to give a good comment. :D

Live auctions
 

How do you get to participate in the live auctions?

Maybe? Yeah the Orioles have zero chance; it's sad. But I'm just ready to go to a live game again!

Heritage Auctions and Legendary Auctions are putting on the two auctions. I would contact them to get details.

What Jim B said.


(Bring cash if they don't know you. Lots of it.)

bars in the hotels
 

Just to be clear....just because anyone goes to a bar in a hotel doesn't mean you have to drink alcohol. I am sure I will, but there are always folks just drinking sodas or water. The main thing is to hang out and chat with friends....I am looking forward to it.

No Net54 dinner this year? that's a bummer.

I'm a non-drinker also, although I'm pretty far from being Mormon or a Baptist pastor.

I'll probably just hang out with Dave Kohler from SCP Auctions most nights. You know, committing burglaries and whatnot.

National Evening calendar
 

We will staying at the Marriott Harborside and plan to attend the auctions as well have dinner with two key Dorskind Groups clients based in the Washington area. We have arranged a suite for private trade and buying sessions.

As a pesky heavy drinking Episcopalian I anticipate being in Baltimore police custody the vast majority of the weekend.

After having crabs with Alan.

Wouldn't it be a great idea to get Net54 t-shirts made up? So, any member can have the option of wearing one. It would be a great way to track each other down.

You could even personalize it with your Net54 username.

Nice room, Bruce.

LOL! Damn time zone difference gets Rob up and posting an hour earlier than me every day!

Hotel Room
 

Rob

funny that looks just like the room that a cheating pedophile would have to keep his victim in whilst he circulates around the show?

Do you prefer little girls or little boys?



Bruce

Rob may have his vices when it comes to boys and girls but he's no cheater.

I think this is a great idea actually. I would just ask that the shirts be made in very bright, fluorescent colors.

Will there be an FBI presence this year? Two years, and counting.

Wow! Good one Bruce! Someone makes a mild, harmless, jab at you and you respond by attacking his marital fidelity, sexual perversion, and sexual preference.

I bet Rob is really crying now!

One of the signs of intelligence that I have always looked for, is the ability that someone has to laugh at themselves. This trait is clearly lacking in you.

You must have spent all your school years with your tighty-whities wedged firmly up your butt crack.

All the best!

that's hot.

Not as hot as tighty-whities.

Count me as one more non-drinker who will hang out at the bar with Net 54 buddies.
JimB

... and one more here.

As much as this might be very difficult to believe, I'm also a non-drinker.

I'll be drinking heavily and steering clear of the guys in the fluorescent shirts.

Thankfully, a voice of reason

I'm going shopping. :)

Jay,

We're ALL the voice of reason!

I am revoking your copyright.

Jim- nice profile of you in the new Old Cardboard.

Howard, print a large version of this on my T-shirt:

I'll be bumming around the show all day Thursday then possibly hitting up a bar with a friend afterwards. I'll be in a USPS shirt...despite not being a postal worker. Track me down and I'll buy you a drink.

I'm sure that's a Federal crime. Let me check with Newman.

Or Cliff Clavin, knower of all things postal, and all little-known facts.
