To anyone who may have thought about going to a Blade show - do it! It just requires good planning - time off and funds alike.
I had been planning and saving since LAST year's Blade show! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> My wife and I agreed that the Blade show would be our vacation, and I made reservations MONTHS in advance. We tried to scrimp and save money wherever we could, as I have a limited income, and she saved vacation time from her job. Although I couldn't buy EVERY blade I wanted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />, we had a GREAT time and I brought home some great treasures! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So, stop making excuses - make PLANS !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
