[Ken & Ericka Osen/H&A Studio]

Greetings & Salutations Good People,
So with less than 2 weeks until the West Coaster, this thread is weirdly quiet. So in the spirit of building excitement, generating enthusiasm and creating chatter on this thread:
Who all is coming to this show?
Do you have a shopping list?
What is on your "If I win the lottery this is what I am buying" list?
And what are you most looking forward to?

I know I am looking forward to putting more faces with names of the kind folk I have met on this forum and catching up with friends we only ever see at these shows. I will also continue my quest for a 1 armed Elizabeth the First figure. Not sure what I would blow lottery winnings on, being married to a sculptor I am kinda spoiled in that regard, but I am sure something will catch my eye at the show!
Looking forward to seeing all your answers,
All the best,
Ericka

I will be there for at least a couple of days of room trading. Looking for Hocker sets and possibly Tommy Atkins WW1. I am surprised that the forums have been so quiet about the Westcoaster - are most of the forum members from the East and Midwest ?

In this economic climate going to shows, especially that far away is a luxury

Ericka unfortunately it is a little too far for me to go. I do one day hope to meet both you and Ken.

I just thought of something, your husband being as talented as he is........why doesn't he sculpt a one armed Elizabeth I for you although I do realise that it would deflate the fun of trying to find one at a show.

No worries my friend as stated on another thread there will be West "IS BEST" Coast representatives at the show! Are you staying at the Marriott? I might fly in Wednesday night now in case Steven Chong or Capitolron try & pull off a SERTO RAID ("Skorzeny Early Room Trading Ops") in the Storch! Watch out for Carlos the "desk11desk12" Man or NMROCKS as well as they are known for covert ops too! Looking forward to meeting you & seeing the "USUAL SUSPECTS" as always.

Hang Tough,
Marc

Looks like I just joined the Knights of Columbus as an honorary member then-my grandfather would be proud!

Dear Marc,
I am driving down Friday morning, so you don't have to worry about any early raids -- but I did tell the dealers to hide everything from you. Remember, he who hesitates does not get the prize.

I happen to have a large collection of glossies.

Steven:

I gave you the treasure map to last year's prize chez the gent in overalls!!! Remember??? I will still keep you in mind but I better arrive Tuesday now as a result of your diversionary tactics! Look forward to seeing you.

All The Best,
Marc

I actually saw it Thursday night, but did not get it until Saturday. You had your chance but hestitated too long.

I hear you but the set did not fit in my collection-she would have been a resale purchase and I could not do it in good faith! Do you know if Rick is putting a presentation together this year at the show?

FIGHT ON!
