(That is the story I tell myself.)
But the other Zebras can wait: January’s agenda includes culling the herd, finishing my collection inventory, wrapping up the last of my BreyerFest memory boxes, and figuring out how the new sewing machine works. Along with all the other usual resolutions that come with the New Year.
The Seattle Soiree information is up (the page accessible to Collector Club members only, sorry), and so is the picture of the Event Model, Redmond:
If you can’t guarantee that your partner can and will come, you have the option to enter by yourself.
End of story. No exceptions, no substitutions!
They have made exceptions before on a case-by-case basis in the past, but after some of the shenanigans that happened with recent Events – hobbyists attempts to “sell” their Plus One slots on Model Horse Sales Pages(!), and a rather brazen attempt at theft at the Scottsdale Event – they’re drawing a hard line.
And I honestly can’t blame them.
As much as I’d like to think that my co-hobbyists are all awesome people who would never do something so unseemly, I know this is not true. Heck, I’ve had some hobbyists confess in completely casual conversations to things that gave me pause.
Rules are created because people can’t be trusted to behave themselves.
Corrections as of Tuesday January 7:
The cancellation policy has changed – or at least been clarified (again). If the guest cancels or cannot attend, the originally drawn attendee can still go, but they cannot replace their guest with another guest-to-be-named-later, and the guest’s ticket will not be refunded.
The gist of the post still stands: just get your nonsense together before you enter!

I'm glad they're taking a firm stance on the tickets. People have been asking if they can enter and sell their tickets online to make spending money for Breyerfest! This isn't supposed to be an event just for the 1% of model horse collectors.
