I received the Mini Fig Prussian Fusiliers and enough for 2 musketeers battalions to replace the "Russian" uniform Leib Regt I did over 36 years ago. They will get stripped and turned into real Russians. I'm hoping this will get me painting again, not that I don't have a million other things to do.

I see the PEL is out and Registration starts May 13. Does anybody have an idea on what the new convention shirt will look like?
What about vendors that will be attending? Is there a preliminary list?

IronMarshal-
#1 – most likely a yes.
#2 – the vendors who will be attending know who they are.
#3 – a distinct possibility.

Sorry, just kidding. The shirt designs sometimes make the discussion boards, but not always. I think it is a little early for the vendors list. They usually take all comers up to the last minute. However, closer to the con date, usually someone will get a thread started. I, too, like to see the vendor list so I can start making my project and shopping lists.

Are we ready for the Flea Market thread yet?

Vendor initial deadline is May 15th for registration, so yep a little early. I will only be filling out my request for the show this morning as I hate to tie up capital for a show that is 2 months out. Kind of like paying taxes, you wait until the last moment.

Is the driving through northern Virginia rants about to start?

John the Greater13 May 2016 12:48 p.m. PST

Speaking as one who lives in Northern Virginia – rant away, you don't have to live with the traffic every. single. Bleeped texting. DAY!!!

Sorry…I feel better now.

Frederick the not so great13 May 2016 1:14 p.m. PST

Anyone know which May the 13th was intended for registration to open?

tayerigonz13 May 2016 1:51 p.m. PST

Do anybody knows at what time the registration should open ?

I just registered. It is tricky. I emailed a question and Heather got back to me with the how to.
Here it is:

I used the Calendar link and it worked perfectly.

I did not see t-shirts but there is a lapel pin.
Note at the top of registration page:
T-SHIRTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AS PRICE AND COLOR IS PENDING

jefritrout14 May 2016 8:58 a.m. PST

Yeah it worked about 10 minutes after my last post.

Disco Joe14 May 2016 10:10 a.m. PST

For the t-shirt can we get a picture of it well in advance. I refuse to purchase sight unseen.

Rudysnelson14 May 2016 4:17 p.m. PST

I won't be there this year, as I will be off to the UK. I will make a show there, however: the Joy of Six.
