Its looking ever so possable that i might be able to make it to the opening day or two of the BLADE show in June. For those that have been there is there some sort of get together for dogs? If so what day is that? Id really like to meet Dan, Jerry and anyone else that's there.

Great question im going next year and wondering myself..all I have heard is something about the fountain and hotel rooms??..

i believe you are seeking the hog induction dinner.

Hmmm, I never thought of myself as HOG material. I thought the dogs had somthing similar.

The dog induction(and Rat) are usually at the same place and same time as the Hogs. If different the date, time, and place are usually noted on the respective forums.

Thanks Ted, Id hate to miss it.

How's your hand, bro?

Its ok, movement is very limited but itll come back. Got some blue lable to keep down the pain <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

A good friend of mine is getting married on the 30th of may in Atlanta. I figured its too close not to stretch out and hit BLADE too. Ill most likley never be there agian.

How long before do they usuoally post the dinner date? 2 weeks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

There are usually other gatherings as well. I was working the weekend of BLADE last year, so I missed all of the festivities, but there were meals at fogo de chao and fuddrucker's in addition to the induction dinner, if I recall correctly.

There's also the drunken debauchery around the fountain at the hotel....

What hotel if i may ask?
