60 odd participants (with the emphasis on the 'odd'  :D) - should be quite a show.

Looking forward to seeing all the projects bloom into beautiful creations  :)

I gotta admit, I have everything laid out for starting tomorrow, and all the plans in place, bits chosen, etc.  I may be done with it by the end of the week (except the painting).

Anyone in the vicinity may want to move back a safe distance to avoid the lightning strike...

I just spent 3.5 hours putting an Ikea bed together. Can I submit that? (That said, there was plenty of cardboard I've taken for my terrain making horde.)

Did you throw pieces of it in frustration. That fits the flying theme.

Does it have a feather mattress? That may count you 'in' on the flight theme! ;)

Well I'm having breakfast first...

Anyone care to do some statistics - how many VSF, sci-fi, fantasy, historical; or how many with conventional wings, non-conventional, blades, no-wings at all etc.? This year's theme has been quite successful, and participation is big enough to have some fun with numbers. And I'll be too busy* (or lazy) to do this... :D

*replacing bathroom taps grumble....

I am awake and off! There is 3/4" of frozen rain sheeting everything here, so I have no excuse to do anything but model! WooT!
