Are there rules posted somewhere?

We're definitely leaning in that direction.

Today.

What about Midwest Airlines? Do they fly out of your city? They're based here in Milwaukee.
Nope. Apparently they Can't Get Here From There.

Talking

No skunky beers OR puking ?
What a rip-off !
I wanted both !
Unfortunately I cannot attend, I will be engaging in my other hobby when this is taking place, a poker tournament.
Focusing on my hobby of poker usually allows me to finance my rocketry activities without spending any of my OWN capital !
It actually works out pretty good....but I only fly LPR and MPR, if I flew HPR I don't think I could finance it through this method.
I may go for L1 this year though.

I understand my good friend, Warren Benson (President of the NHRC #365 Section) will be a
featured speaker on modroc safety. While he's there, you all might also want to get him to
talk about modroc photography. Warren, over the past two years, has consistently captured
some of the most spectacular in-flight modroc photos I've ever seen anywhere. And, you
might also want to have him talk about his profession...I think he's an airline pilot for
Southwest Airlines.

Bummer, sure wish I could be in attendace (can't afford it right now, sorry!).

I think for it to be an official hobby, you have to spend all your money on it...not make money from it!

Actually having poker as my other main hobby is not too bad seeing as I enjoy it as much as rocketry for entertainment; it is really good to have a hobby that also allows one to make money too !

Bill,
Your hobby may also earn money, but mine is LEGAL in many areas of the USA...whereas I know of no area of the USA that being a gigolo is legal !
