You shall be missed.

Do the tank rides cost more than just the 5$ admission to the museum?
I’m bringing both my Global games, one will be Oztea’s 41, the other 2nd edition. Check with me when you get there and I’m sure we can find a game to step into.
Who’s going to show up in garb?
S.A.

The tank rides do cost extra.  Jeremy at FMG can answer the question better however as he his the one that brokered that deal with the Ontario Regiment.

Just booked a hotel and registered for the conference, meeting up with two Toronto pals there. Pretty stoked to do the full convention–last year I just poked my head in, as I was enroute from Toronto to Montreal that day.

If anyone from Montreal wants to ride-share, drop me a line via e-mail at raymond@fifteen.ca. I have an eight-seater van that’s currently just seating me and a Larry Harris autographed copy of AA50. I’ll be leaving Montreal early-ish on Friday the 13th, coming back late-ish on Sunday the 15th.

Yrs.,

Thats great to hear big R… looking forward to seeing you. I know that Axisplaya is from Montreal and might need a ride, but he won’t know if he can come 100% until this weekend. If he is coming I will let him know about your offer for transportation.

Getting your picture, or a video of yourself from the commander position of a rolling tank, is a rather “priceless” moment.

Splurge on the $50 and Get-it-done.

Pictures, like this one (well, ok, you can probably get a better picture with the tank unobscured but it was the first one found in our files here);

Whats that plumber doing on the road?

@Young:

Whats that plumber doing on the road?

Perhaps he’s the peacetime equivalent of a Combat Cameraman lining up to get a good low-angle tank photo.

I thought he was hard of hearing, lost and had inopportunely dropped a contact.

I can’t believe where the summer went!

Most Holy,  what’s your weekend shaping up like?  I have not committed to a room or just driving up each day.  If the weather is good I’d love to drive the Z28 but it’s a 4 seater in name only.  I’d hate to be in the back seat for two hours with me driving!

Garg, was looking forward to seeing you again, pity you can’t make it……
