kennetzel Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 With Bostock being only two and a half weeks away, I was wondering if there is an "agenda" going to be posted like last year. Since it's an all day drive we plan on coming in Thursday so we are there all day Friday. I know last year there was a "pre Botstock dinner" Thursday night. Will there be one this year? So we can try to be there in time for that? I know we have the auction to attend, but I have no clue as to the times it starts and ends. Not to mention all the other great activities for Botstock like dinner each night and where it is. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'll put something specific together and post it ASAP.Basically, there'll be a pre-B dinner at the Black Horse on Thursday for those arriving very early. Then on Friday, we can dine there again. Looks like the robot and space toy part of the Morphy auction will take place Saturday afternoon. The Raffle dinner at Park Place that evening. Park Place Diner is totally redoing the outside of the place. You will not recognize it! I'll book the downstairs area if it's available. Field trip to Tinplate6's man cave "arsenal" on Sunday morning with a late lunch nearby. Our traditional "last supper" at Zia Maria's. In between, hang out at the Museum, shop the Antique Strip, room trade, etc.Not quite sure about the poster contest this year. I think we ran out of time to get one printed to give out at the get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennetzel Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks Joe. Sounds good. Hopefully we'll get in town early enough on Thursday to partake in the dinner, depending on what time it is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Kelly and I are hoping to be there early Thursday evening, 5-ish or so. We're booked at the back, main floor by the Gazebo. Look for the Robbys on the car windows, gifts to Kelly from ROBOTHUNTER many years ago. We usually have to explain them at the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K.

We'll probably grab a table in the back of the Restaurant section and "hang out". Join us when you can.*********************************************************************************************************Friday, May 29th -9:00 AMThe Toy Robot MuseumStop by and pick up your name tag(s), meet and greet your fellow Alphadromers,get directions for Sunday's Field Trip to Brady's, check out the special exhibits,hang out, plan your strategy for combing The Antique Strip and surrounding areas,visit the other shops in Stoudtburg Village. Morphy Auctions opens for Preview. You're on your own for lunch. However, might I suggest The Village Haus(Das Dorfschaft Haus) right here in Stoudtburg Village,a 15 second stroll across The Plaza from The Toy Robot Museum.6:30 PMThe Black Horse Restaurant & TavernDinner*******************************************************************************************************Saturday, May 30th -7:00 AMRenninger's and Shupp's Grove open. I'd suggest doing Renninger's first, then head over to Shupp's. The rest of The Antique Strip opens by 10:00 AM.9:00 AMThe Toy Robot Museum opens.Morphy Auctions opens. The robot and space toy lots begin with #495 (and run to #634). Figuring that they average 100 lots per hour, that puts them around 2:00 PM or so. I'd definitely call and confirm what lot is currently being auctioned, in order to pinpoint an exact time.6:00 PMPark Place Diner (Downstairs)Dinner / Raffle / SWAG*********************************************************************************************************Sunday, May 31st -8:30 AMLeave on Field Trip to Tinplate6's.

dratomic Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Can't wait! This year's NYC contingent will be represented by Steve and myself... Unfortunately, Karl can't free up his schedule this year. Sorry to hear the ray gun dealer isn't there any more... Are you SURE it's not because Brady cleaned him out already?! :-)Thanks to Brady, Joe, and everyone who helped put together our 12th Annual Get Together! See you all in a couple weeks!
