Who's going to SHOT?

Ambush Master
11-27-2005, 21:06
Me !!
Bill Harsey
11-27-2005, 21:23
Me too!
No.
Now excuse me, I have to cry in the corner.
Team Sergeant

I'll be there.

Who's taking the camera?
Michelle
11-28-2005, 09:40
I'll bring a camera!!!
This will be the first time in 3 years that I will be there but not have to be working!

Bill Harsey

They don't allow cameras in there...
They actually have a security team set up to do nothing but stop photos from being taken. It's a pretty high speed crew too, ask the Team Sergeant or AM.

This is true. I did however manage to snap their picture to allow our members to view whom their dealing with.....

I worked SHOT in 2003 and 2004 (and Classic accross the street 2005).
Cameras come into play AFTER the show closes, when you actually have some good blackmail material worth taking. :D
This will make your attendance at the Union meeting easier.
Mr. Harsey, *I* am now a Union member? Oh.... that's right! I'm the 'Producer' now. :munchin
AND AND AND, if there is an "intimidation walk" for people who rip off other people's knife designs, can I go? ::: please please please::::

Mick and Duane were in good form that day. It still brings a tear to my eye recalling the conversation between Mick and ripoff man.

Ahh well, most of the good stuff is after the show closes anyway

IIRC we posted some commentary on Mick's forums....

Sir Reaper,
If you are posting a pre-existing link to another public forum, one would assume whatever it is you are "exposing" is already public domain and therefore quite exposed already.
Therefore, your blackmail leverage would be ?
(I know you have an answer to this as you are always four steps ahead of me.... I just can't imagine what it's going to be.....)

Please, "blackmail" is such an ugly word....
Most people may have been unaware of the existence of the pics, which I believe you felt were less than complimentary.
Note that I have not posted any links.
Leverage would imply that I need some advantage over you, and that I would stoop to using it.

Sweet sweet sweet RL! YES my knight in shining armor!
BUT! That's not such a bad picture.
TR still has leverage. He's got access to a couple of pics from 2 years ago when I was at a show with red-eye jet lagg and a bad case of the flu. They are not pretty. And the Strider guys and the HMX-1 guys kept telling me if I drank more Jack Daniels, it would make me feel better.
They were right!
But they were also very very wrong! :eek:
m1
Edited to add: The fact of the matter is, I am secondary Admin at Badlands directly under FS. So, if I were truly bunched up about having ugly pix of me out there, I could have killed them. Not my style. You will find bad pictures of me as well as posts of people cussing me out. I don't believe in censorship whenever possible. ;)

Mmm, a little whiskey girl. I like that. Have you ever had Booker's? Sometimes a taste test can be quite informative. :D
As I am sure you are aware, anything posted on the net is subject to being copied to a viewer's computer and stored for future reference. Deleting the pic from the site later will not guarantee that it will not appear again.
Back to the SHOT, yes, I should be there and I will have a camera, somewhere.

The stats on that link make me want to review all the boots/feet threads here just in case I can find something to make it easier on the "dogs". They were whimpering last year and I don't expect it to be much better this year. Though I do have a good pair of Wellcos this time that are properly broken in. I probably ought to get one of those carry-on luggage thingy's with the wheels and extension handle too. The knapsack last year wasn't big enough and by day's end it felt like a commo ruck. !Si - la chucha me duele! :D Peregrino
Can anyone attend this or is it invite only?
Peregrino

It's an industry show - primarilly for vendors/exhibitors and purchasing agents. To the best of my knowledge it is not open to the general public. You have to be credentialed and advanced registered (or call in a favor with somebody who will cover you). FWIW - Peregrino
Curses!! Foiled again!!
Well, I have been looking forward to making this show for a year now, unfortunately, you folks will have to Police AM by yourselves. A good friend of mine has invited me on a Bird hunt that weekend and Was recently given just a few months to live. SHOT is a blast, but it will happen again next year, I fear I will not have another chance to walk the fields and enjoy his company.
Take care,
Blake

Clearly the right decision.
You will be missed, but I wish you happiness, joy and added fond memories with your friend.
God bless.

See you guys there Thursday. Coming in tomorrow evening and will be at the show bright and early. :D
I had a great time last year (it's nice to put names to faces), and will be attending again this year. Unfortunately, responsibilities preclude me from attending before Saturday, as I will be arriving tomorrow evening.
Hope to see many of you again.

Well I couldn't go to this one but next year it's in Orlando. I got that one covered.
Well, I couldn't make it in person, but I am told that my smiling face is on TV out there. Shooting gallery or one of those chows is being shown on one of the tourism channels describing SHOT to visitors in hotels. Apparently a good part of the show had them at the DPMS trigun match following various squads around (Mine included) Nevermind the fact the some Miculek guy and his wife were also on said squad.
Good times all

Had a blast.
Got to meet TR, TS, Peregrino and Ambush Master and also a couple of CMH recipients.
Saw pals John Plaster and Longrange.
Also saw Anne and Chris Reeve but missed Mr. Harsey ... a couple of times.
Got drunk as a monkey at the GA Precision party. They say I was in rare form ... whatever that means.:cool:
13 miles of aisles ... crazy. Orlando for 2007.
Best regards,

H but missed Mr. Harsey ... a couple of times.
Just the opposite for me. Got to chat with Mr. Harsey again, but missed everyone else, unfortunately.
Still, very happy I went.

A very BIG thank you for those who made some time to meet me. TS, Mr. Harsey, AM and Gunner John, it was a pleasure and an honor.
And nooooo.... I wasn't askeered when I came down that aisle to find you all lined up in a row accross the thoroughfare.... all you men... and one little redhead walking (limping) up to that gauntlet......
It's rare that I find myself in the presence of people whom you can feel their eyes burn down into the depth of your soul and assess you and measure your worth in a mere 6.4 seconds. I should have had a beer before I walked into that. :D
The rest I'll keep close-hold... I'm like that when things are important to me... other than the moment when TS said "Let me see your hands"... and when I held them out he started laughing and said "I thought you were kidding when you said you had the tiniest hands ever.......... yea.... stay with your 9mm". :lifter

Yes Sir, You are correct.
Mr. White is also an extraordinary gentleman who is doing some very interesting work, which is why we "was" introduced.
Anyone care to guess what that work is?
or pay $500+ for a pair of custom-made ones to your feet that get mailed to you in 6 weeks.
I can guess !!!! :lifter
That's for a pair of mountaineering boots right? I can't see spending $500 on anything you can't put a crampon on.

Perhaps you are deficient or your humor meter is not properly calibrated for real men, like the XYs here.
