To All Going to The National....

Unfortunately I, too, am not going this year. It will be the first time since 2007 that I won't be at the National. But I will see you all next year in Atlantic City !!!

And I wil be there after missing a year; Chicago is a great place for the National and if you have never been to the Net 54 get together; it's the closest thing to the old school hospitality rooms the hobby has.

Alan, sorry you won't be there. I always chatting with you.

Absolutely hope everyone enjoys the National this year. I made my first trip to one in Baltimore a few years back and will certainly make the one in AC next year.

Just a note to those going next year. Atlantic City, for the most part, is a hole. The boardwalk is so-so and the casinos, if that's your thing, are what they are. But venture a block away and things go downhill very quickly. One thought is to venture south to Ocean City, which you can see from AC but is actually about a half hour drive. That is the Jersey shore with beaches and shops. Great summer place to be. AC not so much.

Meanwhile got first email for the so-called East Coast "national" in mid-August in White Plains. They do have a long and impressive list of auto signers....

I also wish I could attend this year but will be unable to do so. It's hard for me to take the time off from work and I have to get the money to spend on the Leon Luckey collection from somewhere.

I hope everyone has a great time and I hope to see you next year.
