I am starting to work on issues/prep for this year's match.
I do not see anyone volunteering to provide a 2nd place trophy. This is not a plea for that, I just want to be sure no one has volunteered and I have forgotten that. I am proceeding as being the supplier of all trophies this year.

The Shlomo second plaque will be present for this year's match. Everybody has been busy with the upcoming matches, didn't see the need to announce its return. My bad.

I will donate one of the Fal beer mugs sold here on the Files a while ago as a prize. Hopefully it will make it intact to the match..

I can't wait for this match.
The original Stimpy FAL match is the greatest.

There is a Quality Inn and Suites across the highway from the Ruby Tuesdays. Relative new hotel and pretty good rooms. I stayed there for Stimpy's Run n Gun earlier this year. Definitely not walking distance though 6-8 lanes of high speed Georgia drivers to negotiate. And the traffic lights aren't set up for pedestrians. But it is close (short drive) to every thing.

Please, if you book a hotel on the east side of GA400, stay there.
Longhorn will take your money and serve you well enough as a bar. Same distance as the other hotel and Ruby Tuesday's. But please do not try to cross GA400. I love all of you too much to pass the place you died being stupid every day I come home.

Stimpy, do you want me to bring the Second Place trophy with me, or mail it to you beforehand? They are supposed to be done by Friday since I told them no rush.

My reservations made at the Quality Inn and Suites. More spendy than the Dawson Village Hotel, but I stayed there for the RBGC Run N Gun and it was quite comfortable. The Dawson Village Inn has received some very poor reviews on Trip Advisor about cleanliness , smells, etc.
http://www.dawsonvillageinn.com/ Their web site does show a picture of a newly renovated room. The deciding factor was they still have Smoking and Non-Smoking rooms. Stale cigarette smoke is a no-go for me, now. Another decision needed is whether we meet at the Ruby Tuesday's, Longhorn Steakhouse, or Friends American Grill on Friday night. All have adult beverages, kiddie menus, and a mix of entrée's for any taste. Ruby Tuesday's has a decent salad bar while the others have salads to order. I know Ruby Tuesday's can accommodate a large group, just don't know if the other restaurants can. All are just down the street from either hotel described above or the hotels not listed (Super 8 about a mile down the road). So think about it.

Confirmed, 2 machineguns present in 2 different side matches.
One used the way you would expect...one, less so.

Top is the 3D printed part.
Bottom is the cast in brass version I will be adding to the trophies this year. Made from the carcases of last years unloved Berdan brass!  Only 4 more to go...gonna try to figure how to do 2 at a time.
