....is my motto for the next year, and I'm not the type to have a motto or anything like that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
As soon as the dates for next year are announced I'm booking my hotel room and my flight, I'm not gonna wait till the last minute like I did this year only to find booked rooms and pricey flights. I've been kicking myself for not going back this year and won't feel the same next year. Anyone who feels the same as me, feel free to chime in here and post your plan, if you have booked your room or flight, or how you plan on saving up some spending money, with a little self control and a whole year to plan, it should be no problem at all. Come on Dogs! Let's rock Blade 2012!!!

I'm with ya man, no plans as of yet, but I plan on being there one way or another! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Lets make it the year of the Dawgs!!!!!

Me and Silver bullets (bill) are talking about going next year! We will see ya there!

I would love to go...but most of my disposable income is typically tied up in spending time in the woods. Not sure I will ever make it to Blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> It sure looks like an awesome time though...maybe I'll hit it big next year and have the extra $$ to stretch out to Blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> (I can dream, right?)

I'm going. It looks like the date & location are already set, unless this is another show:

March 23-25 Pasadena, CA

Edit: Nevermind, that's probably not it. That's called the Knife Expo 2012.

I think this is by a different group???

presented by Southern California Blades

I am with you man!
It made me sick to see all the knives and fun and not be able to be there . let's book it 2 day .

You could always sell me some Hog meat and use the money for blade!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

As soon as the exact dates are announced, I'm going to lock in the reservation

Awesome! See you there! I'll be bringing at least one bottle of Pappy 15 with me so we can all have a drink to the Yard!

I am going to try and make it too. Should be a great time.

Road Trip? I can meet you in Longview...we can take I-20 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Maybe Adam can come up and join us too. There might be some other folks on the I-20 corridor also. Could get interesting <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
