Timonium Arms Show

At long last, the Timonium show will be happening next weekend, after being cancelled by the Plague for the last two years.

It will be smaller than the previous shows - the big hall will be full, but the tables that used to be arrayed in the hall by the food service area will not be in use.

Anyone here planning to attend? (I'll be there; it's an hour away from my home.)

For me not this year. Hopefully next year.

Well, the MACA Timonium show was a great success - still is, since it will run thru tomorrow. The crowd was thronging about, making up for two lost years, There were fewer exhibitors than last time, but the Big Room was packed, and there was spillover into the entrance room, which was not scheduled for tables this time.

It was a pleasure seeing old friends and meeting folks who existed formerly as mere legendary presences on this board. Rsword, CharlesS, Ron Z, Oliver Pinchot and drac2k were at hand, as well as Philip Tom and Eric Farrow. So good to put faces to names. Sadly, Artzi didn't attend this year; Avram and his brother were to have represented the firm, but they were no-shows.

We at MACA were somewhat concerned, as this might have been a make or break affair for the show, what with Maryland's newly-enhanced anti-2A legislation and the question of turnout. From what I observed over the last two days, it will be an ongoing affair.

I really hope more folks from this site will be on hand next year, when travel should be rendered easier and The Plague will have passed into history.
