Less than 84 hours....

...until I leave for BLADE 09!!!

Dan watcha bringin'?!? Just give me a hint.

Can't wait man! Thursday night at 9pm I start my 12 hour drive.

woo hooo!!!!

I am loading the steel and selecting knives for the HornDogGanzaa in the pit at the Waverly Rennaisance! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

What exactly is the HorDogGanzaa? Are you bringing stuff to sell?

Joining Dan for dinner Thursday night at Fogos. I will give you guys the skinny on what he brings after a bourbon or 6. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Cleaning out the pile of steel. Selecting my favorites in each category and selling the others. Mostly high-end stuff, too.

I'm so freaking excited guys. I feel like I'm eight and will be leaving for Disney World..

I'll make sure to deliver fresh HD video from the front lines. Or maybe just lug my SLR in there. Not sure; I will play it by ear.

I hope I dont see you getting a spanking like you did at Disney World!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Rub it in!

For some reason I think video is prohibited by the folks that run BLADE. I may be wrong but you may want to be careful bringing it before you check...they might not let you in and then HornDog and I will have bought everything!!!! Seriously I do think video is not allowed.

Thanks alot for the heads up! I would let them just take my video camera. lol What about my camera? It's a big SLR.. I'm going to go do some research at the Blade site...

I see lots-o-pics from past Blades...but they may be nice compact cameras that were snuck in!

yeah rub it in you guys!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />




dont most digi cams do video nowadays?

Yeah. Keep rubbing it in. I've just got too much going on this weekend to add BLADE to the mix.

I wish I could go to Blade 09 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Maybe I can afford it some other year... but it´s so hard saving money, there are sooo many knives to buy all the time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Wish I could go.

Cameras are okay, I have openly taken pictures. I just had some recollection of video being a nono.

The Blade website says no commercial video. I dunno, I think I will sneak around with my sub compact HD camera. Who knows. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I will be at Blade. Pretty excited about going too. It will be my first time going to any kind of a knife show. Started buying a few SYNC and SR knives about eight months ago and got hooked. Don't know what to expect other than what you guys have shared here in the forum. One question, will the Busse booth be selling knives at all times or at just certain times? Does anyone know? Will I be able to go Friday early afternoon and be able to leave with some new knives?

There will be certain knives on the table for sale at all times. Periodically during each day Jerry will offer show specials and oneofs of the Busse brand. What is available normally from the Swamp and the Yard is available at all times. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I hope that you all have a great time! If possible I hope that someone will send us pics from the show and possibly proxy for us. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

2010 Blade for sure!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Its almost here!!!

Bringing Knives... maybe something interesting

Dan

Mmmm can't wait to see. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

i want to go so bad but just dont have the money to get out there in the first place my truck gets like 10 mpg or less i should start savin up so i might be able to go next year

MAYBE?????? You give me a MAYBE? Come on boss!

HD, make sure you let us know what your selling. In fact, we should have a 'for sale & wanted' sub-forum here!

We don't do for sale stuff here, so I won't list them. Let's just say that some are Srappers, some are Swamp Rats, some are Barkies. Most are small but some are large. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

OK, I will bring something interesting

Dan

Something VERY interesting!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sounds nice, can't wait to see what you got.

If Renee says its VERY interesting I'll take 5. 39 hours till I'm wheels up!!

She thinks I should tell you more...what is with her and you Dogs?

Dan

We are like kids at Christmas...

You know you want to tell us more, and maybe show a pic or two. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Look forward to meeting you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Dan

See my thread on the New Model At The BLADE Show! ! ! !

More to come on this

Dan

Dan, you are SUCH a tease!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thats a long drive from Ohio, have a safe and fun drive. Its only a couple hours from where I'm at so it won't be so bad.

ME? Ok maybe a little

Dan

I actually enjoy the drive. When I used to come from Texas...that was rough

See ya there

Dan

I've done the drive from Atlanta to PA on a regular basis. It's not too bad, and well worth it to see friends and family back in the old stomping grounds.
