Atlanta 2007 Show

[Guy]

Jay and I are now in Tupelo Mississippi on our way back to Oklahoma. We are returning after attending one of the best shows I have ever atended. On the first night, Friday night, in the 2 hours of pre-registration the show had over 450 figures pre-registered for the competition on Saturday. The main registration to be on Saturday. Friday night's registration was awesome with some of the finest figures on display I have ever seen. More information will follow once I actually get home.

My hat is off to two planet members who I spent hours with over the weekend. Bluesking (stephen Jamison) from Ireland and Blind Pew (Anthony Kearns) from UK. These two gentlemen provided me with the most memorable show I have attended and we spent hours talking figures and listening to Bluesking's jokes. Thanks guys.

Many awards were recieved by planet members and further information will come on actually who and what they recieved.

A special congratulations to Jay Hollopeter (Sambaman) for his Gold medal and many other awards that came his way for the busts he had on display.

Many show pictures were taken and once we arrive home and process them we will post.

More to come!
