Oh damn, Stephen! I'm very sorry to hear that. I just bought my ticket last night. I threw it on a credit card and figured I'd live dangerously! We'll miss you, man.

I know if I had to choose just one show to attend it would be Vegas !

I'm bummed to hear that you can't make Atlanta ..... (now who will I break the speed limit with ;-)
* Although the way things are going with work these days it will be a miracle if I'm in attendance myself ?
Guess time will tell, Mac |
Hey Mac how about I let you drive my car  in Vegas or we can go out of town and I'll take you up to 160mph + I'll pay for the ride, will that work? You know nothing is going to happen to you given this happened to these girls http://www.capitalnewsnine.com/content/top_st...rID=127703 I hope you make the Blade we all here who will not make it need that eye candy of a great job like you did in Vegas. Also, I hear Tinker is going to have a matched set of duelling sabers I would love to see...

Drat! Streak ends at 2. Oh well, my streak at Vegas is still going strong 7 and counting.
If nothing else, we can try to do a little better job of coordinating a meet & greet next year. But I am NOT going on that damn ride on top of the Stratosphere, either one. |

Thanks a lot Ben. I have a sneaking suspicion that we are not going to be able to get Mac to ride this next year now. LOL!!!

I dont know, I would like to think we can change that look on Mac's face (checking out the ride) from this to a big happy grin

The Albion line-up for Atlanta looks extensive (30+ swords) including all the Museum Line pieces currently in production. Mike also dropped a hint that he had sent down several of Jody Sampson's pieces as well.
Lots to look at!

Digital cam... extra battery... 2 gig worth of storage cards... laptop to store them if I need to. And I'm just one guy - bet there will be others.
I'll try, Steve. Sucks you won't be there... Joe, too... I can't wait. Now, I just have to get back home and pack!

Oh dang! I just noticed that part! He's been teasing me for about 6 weeks now with promises of a close encounter with the Svante, but I've been Jonesing for a hand's on with all of them - especially the Brescia.
This could be exquisitely painful...

I'll try, but I hope there will be a bunch of others, too. I may ruin the camera by drooling on it too much if I am not careful.

Brother, I don't know if even that will save me. I'm already planning on a "gimme one of those, and one of those, and, oh yeah, one of those" calls to Albion in July. I'll be like a junkie feening for his next fix until then -
