Just curious who's going to be at the Western Martial Arts Workshop in Racine? I'll be making the 15 hour road trip out from the East coast Wednesday night/Thursday morning. It's going to be a blast. Here's a pic for anyone who hasn't met me and wants to meet up.

Hey Bill

I've just finished up one prototype you can definitely look at, since I can't sell it.......type XVIIIish, 36 inch blade, 3.5lbs. Very quick heavy duty longsword........this one is blunt, though when it goes "model" it will be able to go either way.......yep, another LPM.......

Since you're driving, depends on how the event goes, but we just might be able to send something back with you for review purposes........

Hah! Luxury! It's a 15 day drive from Australia, twelve of them underwater.

Lucky I'm flying!

Why is it that disaster always hits the US just before I arrive?

I'm going as well! Last time it was in my neck of the woods (Racine), I was getting married. So as part of my anniversary gift form my wife I get to learn how to use these things I've been buying! Happy

Just our American way of saying hello?

Stephen, it'll be good to see you again (you probably don't even remember me, as I'm sure you meet a lot of people, but I will always remember your "George the Gross" story. Happy ).
