dandypandy when i go to my in-laws i get to do what i want, including visiting the flgs. i don't mind going because they play with the kids and are not interested in me anyway. i used to bring a cooler of beer and cigars but i don't do that anymore, but at the same time i havent brought models to paint. however, my inlaws actually painted models for me before my first tournament in july of 13 at dragons lair because i thought you weren't allowed in without a 3 color minimum but that is a different story, so i am sure they wouldnt mind.
