Bad news coming from our end of things on this one: Me and Susie are both extremely sick to the point where we’re not gonna recover in time and we’ve officially made the decision to not go to Philadelphia this weekend. I’ll spare everybody the gory details, but I’ve been looking for to and planning for this trip ever since I got back from BrickFair more than a month ago, so it would take some sort of horrible and unprecedented condition on my part to keep me from going, and, well… that’s what has happened.
The main thing for SCL this weekend then is that this puts all the pressure and responsibility on Micah and Rick to do the display in Philly. Everything should be fine during exhibitor hours, but during the public hours you’ll always want at least one person manning the tables at all time, and that could be difficult when there’s only two of you.
You’re also losing out on a lot of display material, so it’s a good thing Josh & Greg brought you lots of stuff a couple weeks ago. With that stuff and Micah’s display I’m thinking you can still fill two tables and look good. My stuff requires too much disassembly for packing and reassembly on site for me to be able to send it along w/o going myself (the GBC, which still isn’t working right anyway, is especially high-maintenance). If you want to pick up Joe & Tim’s buildings and roads we could arrange something, but I’m not sure if it’ll be worth it. (Josh, I’m gonna recommend that Tim and Joe get a PaB display credit even if their stuff doesn’t actually make it out to BrickFest, Joe especially went way out of his way to get his buildings to me and only because I nagged him to.)
It also means that Rick and Micah are Evan’s only remaining hope for Transformer transportation.
I’m also gonna email Chris on the Dollar and let him know what’s up. Again, I’m really sorry about this. I hope you guys still have a good time and get lots of good pics to send us.
