US Open Seattle 2022 - Roomshare Thread

[Frowbakk]

I got my tickets for the Thursday night Hobby Masterclass from 6-10 PM, the Airbrushing class on Saturday at 1 PM, and the Hobby Event Pass for the rest of the weekend.

I'm going to get a room with two Queen beds for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.

Who wants to split the costs of a room? (said the guy who has an inflatable bed (not just mattress) he could reasonably sneak along and fit another person comfortably)

(Does the hobby event pass cover all the various hobby classes?  Like a multi-pass?)

[Frowbakk]

No,, sadly...

The Hobby pass lets you use GW's paints and bitz boxes for the weekend. The focused classes, like Basing or Blending are extra.

 

That's why I sprung for the Hobby masterclass, since it covers a range of specialist topics all at the same time.

 

Oh, and I was only able to get a King Sized room with a roll-away, so Hotel sign-ups must be popular.

While all you Southern Ordites are in town we should all meet up for drinks

We locals would love to visit and say hi y'all!

T-minus one month

Just re-upping my offer for a roomshare. I got space if you want to save $$ to buy event exclusive models.

PM if interested.

Friday May 6th through Sunday May 8th.  Registration looks to also be on Thursday evening.

Tacoma's @PumpkinHead & my stomping ground.

Would love to have an Ordo evening of chatting and drinks if anyone is interested!

Hmmmmm Mother's Day weekend. Might be tough. I'll see what I can do.

Okay, nevermind. The ticket for the speed painting class is $230. What the hell? What am I missing because that is moronic.

You better get a full set of paints and a gigantic model for that... That is crazy.

I just had refunds ($50 for Saturday Airbrushing class, $40 for Weekend Hobby Pass) come through EventBrite email and PayPal (though it'll actually be another 5 days until it hits my credit card)

EDIT: The Speed Painting class is down to $100, according to the website.

Apparently they're lowering the price. I know the Airbrushing and Thursday night Hobby Masterclass do come with a brushes and a Monster-sized miniature to work on for each class.

I am taking the Battle Sanctum to get airbrushed and the statue to the masterclass so at least I'll get a finished centerpiece of terrain out of the weekend.

It's also why I'm not staying the whole day Sunday, but I live just north of Seattle so I can get home in time for Mothers Day festivities no problem.
