What a historical weekend combining two separate board activities. I'm exhausted!
Went to Chicago to hook up with Jor & Drau for a Midwest "mini" gathering, (yes, so many puns available there that you wouldn't know where to begin). I also met my "Alphadrome" robot board buddies for the first time for Botstock 3. Both boards kinda came together at the Chicago antique toy show. It was a real turn on to see both boards fight over me. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Coffee's hot and donuts lots!
*sends out search party for donuts*
oh, I thought you said they were lost... [img]redface.gif[/img]
howdy do, Andy. sounds like ya had a good time.
so, what did ya get? or should I ask who? [img]wink.gif[/img]
my weekend was pretty good, espeially on the toy front....
although band practice was fantastic last night.
Kate picked up a bunch of antique knives and farm implements at that flea market.
hope she ain't goin' all Ed Gein on me. [img]eek.gif[/img]
she bought a sickle last time...
I did manage to pick up a 70's era Piston Robot from a dealer who was also an Alphadromer. It's pretty cool. I'll get pics tonight. Jor may have given me something but I'll find out later from the doctor. [img]wink.gif[/img]
start the penicillin, just in case.
BTW-I sold all of my Andybots that I brought. They're begging for more. Shit!
One guy just dropped $3000 on a vintage toy. He bought Erotobot 3 on sight. Then he wondered how he was gonna get it past his wife......after spending $3000? [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]confused.gif[/img]

what was this vintage deal that buddy dropped 3K on? [img]eek.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not sure. He was kinda cagey about it because I think it wasn't a robot. I thought I heard someone mention a toy truck of sorts.Quote:

BTW-I'm heading into my off season for Andybots due to the warmer weather and longer grass. [img]frown.gif[/img]
LOL
longer grass? off-season?

The highlight of the weekend however, was watching "Astro Zombies", "Future War", "Starman" (not the Jeff Bridges version) and a vintage MST3K "The Honeymoon" short with Jor & Drau that'll take months to recover from!
Morning All.

Mornin' folks. Gonna be one of those weeks - I can feel it.
Did come across a brand of beer Saturday night that I haven't had in 7-8 years - Black Pearl. I guess if you have too many the next morning you're left with The Curse of the Black Pearl. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Porthos, good deal! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
