Regarding the annual thread with photo coverage of the Registry Dinner & Collectors Summit at th

dude

For the past two years, as many of you have known, I've posted threads with photographs covering the collectors events at the National. Unfortunately, due to family committments, I won't be attending the National this year, so hopefully some of you collectors will step up and cover those events with news and photographs.

In fact, I believe it would be good for one or better yet, two or more people commit in advance to covering the event. If you take pictures and need help with image hosting, I'd be more than happy to help out.

I believe it is extremely important to keep this tradition going. I'm convinced that these types of threads promote quite a bit of interest in our hobby and believe it or not, I don't think I'm exaggerating by saying that these CU Message Boards are the best source for hobby news. Many of you may not realize this, but many people read these message boards even though they don't post messages on them. It's actually scary when I go to shows and introduce myself to complete strangers, both collectors and dealers, how many people know who I am because of these message boards.

Please keep the tradition alive.

Thanks.

I can shoot some pictures. I'll be there all 4 days (as a customer) with a whole bunch of free time because my wife said she's not tagging along this time. I'm going to the game on Thursday night, the luncheon on Friday, and the World Series thingamajig.

If'n you're bored this fine Sunday mornin', here's a video I made of photo's taken during my last vacation (2 weeks ago)...but be forewarned...it takes a few minutes to open if you have DSL...don't know how long on dial up...

Very nicely done, Joe. And it only took about 5 seconds to start with my cable connection. You definitely need to be a photographer this year. Too bad you won't be able to make the Thursday night dinner. But be sure and take lots of pics of the Indians game and people there.

Will bring my camera and take lots of pics.
Maybe I'll even get lucky enough to catch some action shots in the parking lot.

Also, I'll bring a wide angle lens so I can get a full shot of SKINSFAN if he surfaces.

I'll be at the National, luncheon, and both of King K's Indians games. If someone can cover Gaspipes summit dinner I'll shoot pictures of anything and everything I'm at and we should be covered. Sounds like I"d better pack the fisheye as well to fit in some of those larger guys!
Due to the general Mac unfriendliness of the board architecture I'll have to e someone else the images to post.

Thanks to Dan for covering this the last couple of years- I still go back and read those posts. Sorry you can't be there this year.

I will lend my server to host pictures.
