SOMETHING NEW, DIFFERENT & EXCITING! (To me, anyway... )
It occurred to me, that with all the traveling I do across the country, that I could stop a few times along the road and "smell the roses". So in addition to my heavy show schedule this Spring - Replicon 3/29 in Freeport, NY, ValleyCon 3/30 in Chicopee, MA, MosquitonCon 4/5 in Wayne, NJ, NoreastCon 2008 4/25 & 26 in Schorarie, NY and IPMS Region 12 5/2 & 3 in Greenville, SC - I will be stopping at various locations during the trip and setting up shop at local hotels. I'm calling this the Rare-Plane Detective ModelMart Tour.
Some of the locations are familiar to me (like coming back to Gulfport, MS on May 4), or places where I've established a "customer" base, like Runnemede, NJ and Reston, VA, or locations where I've supported other IPMS club events in the past, like Dallas and Cincinnati.
I'll be coming into stops and setting up my 5 - 7 tables full of kits, decals, aftermarket items... heck, whatever I can fit in the van... in the motel meeting room for three hours and opening up for customers to shop the ModelMart! Most stops will feature my "Countdown Sale" where the prices on a BIG stack of kits will start at $10 each and then drop by at least a dollar every half hour! I hope you'll join me on the road at these ModelMart stops...
