BLADE Show 2010

Who will be attending the show this year? I hope that a LOT of my fellow Dogs will make it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I'll be there!

Cool! I'm looking forward to meeting you Jared! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm going to try to make it there this year.

I am making plans to attend.

Wish I was gonna make it, Maybe next year!

I will be there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wouldnt miss it!!!! I wish it was this weekend!!!!!

bringing my drinking hat...and i guess the wife.

I will be there as well!

You KNOW that we are going to have to get some group photos! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Right now, I don't know if I can make it or not. It has been an expensive Spring for me. I applied for Social Security retirement benefits back in January, but have not yet been "approved" by whatever nameless bureaucrat approves these things. If that money shows up, I can go, but it might be too late to get a hotel near the show by then, and I do not drive around in big cities.

Vic I can probably hook you up at the Holiday Inn Express just across I-285 from the Galleria. Traveling for work all the time has its perks (priority club points). Be a shame if the big Dog wasnt there. Holler at me.

I would love to attend this year but it is not in the cards. Just too much stuff going on with school, a school trip to Chicago the week before, football and wrestling commitments, and of course like you mentioned an expensive spring.

As to the SSI deal. If they deny you, just reapply. I know my father was denied the first time through but he got it in the second go around. I have heard that pretty much every applicant is denied the first go round--go figure, they don't mind taking it from us but not giving it back. Hang in there, I hope you get your benie's and can go to Blade.

Question to the Dogs that have gone before, if you get the VIP passes, do you still have to buy tickets?

Yes, but it's only about $5.00 for all three days if I remember correctly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ok, cause I saw at Blade.com you can buy your tickets now

The VIP pass from Busse is an information sheet. You will still stand in line, pay $5.00 and get a neck lanyard. If you go the 1st day which opens at noon there will be hogs,rats,and dogs at the front of the line at 8 AM. VIP passes get in at noon and regular badges at 2:00.

I'll be there. Fun times

I've planned to go - but was unable to make the past three years. I'm planning on going this year and things are looking good.

I hope you make it Kirk -- I would love to meet you in person! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am trying my best to be there and would like to meet those of you there.

Mark

Back to the top with you! Come on Dogs, who else is gonna be there?

All the GOOD-LOOKING Dogs will be there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

ill be there on saturday...maybe sunday

Like I said ...................................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

anyone want to make a prediction on what kind of steel will be at BLADE

Infi,SR101,SR77,154CM & what ever the NBMs (non bussekin makers) bring. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Myke - you win the prize!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

HURAY I'll PM you my addy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

OH wait what's the prize?Round trip airfare to Atlanta? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

If I could -- I would! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Tom.Actually I would love to be able to take the time & drive out there.I did enough flying around in the MC.

In 08', Cold One flew down from the Yukon - not far below the Arctic Circle! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I know that Rob Stanley is flying over from Austrailia, and I thought that Simon from Sweden was coming in. So, distance is irrelevant if the desire is there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Distance is irrelevant if the funds are there.
I've got plenty of desire.I'd be happy if Blade West happened next year. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Gotta' learn to plan and save for it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I wish I could make it.

Unfortunately, my employer decided to send me to Atlanta this week for training. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Man that's a double <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I'm glad you guys posted this...I need a Proxy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Still confirming my budget (need to see how the KnoboGanzaa comes out), but I'm looking for 2 small SYKCO blades...reward fee included!! PM me if interested. Payment w/ fee in advance if you're a trustworthy JYD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2weeks.gif" alt="" />

I hope they get that worked out for you. This is the show no Busse Kin should miss if possible. Very Cool things are planned

Dan

That's too bad busse didn't make a good showing at the orgeon show, they missed out on alot of money ...

l0l

Question for you. If I can only make the Friday morning in Atlanta does the show open early enough to pick something up?

I have a client that I may be seeing but have to leave Atlanta early afternoon.

Yup- that is for sure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />. I had about 12 knives to proxy and many of you know how I like to SPEND <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Sooooooooo........I bought one nice Bushwhacker and spent about 3-4 K on other knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />. I would have gladly dumped it on Bussekin steel- but it was a no go <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />.Maybe they will make a good booth next year <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> ? I hate to have to go to Atlanta or KC to buy steel. How about it Dan- us West Side guys got the $$$ out here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I also took along guns etc for trade if cash wasn't king. Come on out to the west coast- lotsa $$$ to be made here and we got some good lookin gals and great bars and eats <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm only about four hours away, I'm going to try to drive down Friday or Saturday if I can get away, even if I'm not in the market to buy. I wanna meet some of the other folks from the Yard.

I hope you can make it, and Saturday's induction dinner should not be missed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Lots of fun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I really hope they do a big show out West next year, i would love to visit out there along with going to a great knife show. Atlanta is ok, but I'm only really going for Blade.

Induction is the best and a flat out good time

Dan

I will be there for the whole thing! I can't wait.

You're not alone Jerry! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I have been working on a special project and it may be ready for Blade...here is hoping the stars align and I get to show you Dogs.

Regardless we have a reason to drink...like we need one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Cheers
Dan

Bring It!!!!

Right on C/P!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Could it be a NEW RELEASE!!!!??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> So much for a BM!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I sure hope its a new release...sounds promising.

Of course its new...very new...if it happens

Dan

Oh man, the suspense builds! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I peed in my pants a little!!!!! The excitement was to much!!!

I hate to think what you would do during a "feeding frenzy" at Blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

A new res-c chopper at blade? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

COME ON DAN... tease us with some specs on the new release from the yard!!!

Yes please please please.... Give the dogs a "bone" preview, specs ANYTHING!

You don't REALLY want to know, do you?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />........................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I probably couldn't afford it anyway but Yeah, I think I WOULD like to know whats inbound from the Scrapyard. If it's a SOD for $100.00 I WILL be mad!

Not likely to happen, that's why I put down $100.00! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In that case, why not $50.00?!!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

FIFTY WOULD be even better!!!

For $50, I'll take two!

So would I, and I already have a few! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I am keeping my fingers crossed for a crash axe! OR...... Maby Dan is going to blow up BLADE and release a SY AXE!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yahoo! Circumstances have changed, and it looks like I'll be going to Blade after all. I am excited! I can hardly wait to meet some more of you fine dogs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

im the opposite HD

looks like im going to work saturday & only be able to come sunday!!!


%FH%Y^*&*&T*WCK

seems kylies cousin is getting married the next saturday & i cant get both off

any DAWGS gonna be around on sunday?

Darn, Vance. And you live so close. Folks in other states are always telling me how close I am to Atlanta. I think Jeff in Tennessee is closer. I hope to see you before I cut out on Sunday.

Horn Dog - that's GREAT news!!! I'm looking forward to seeing you again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

All but one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

That is great news! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I've changed my plans a little, now driving down Friday night so I can spend all day Saturday at the show instead of a few hours. Can't wait to see y'all there!

Hey that is really good news. So the rumor of a steel embargo going into effect for your state is truely just a rumor. I have no idea who starts this stuff.

This is going to be so cool, now if we could just get the frozen one to free up the time to join us at the show...now that would be some kind of party. Three Mods and the Yard is like a Field of Dreams but a heck of lot more fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I guess you cant have it all!

Dan

Dan, even though it IS expensive, you need to convince Chris to spend some of that extra "cold cash" that he has been earning! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> And to bring his wife too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

YAHOO!! Looks like Dan will be stuck with all three Moderators this year! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Way to go ColdOne!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm excited!

JYD #10 will be at Blade '10!

Can't wait to meet up with everyone!

Well I finally got all my plans put together... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I'm really lookin forward to Blade, and it looks like me and the wife will even make it to the Induction Dinner this Year!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm so excited!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

OUTSTANDING!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This is going to be some kind of show...I cannot wait <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

WOOT! Can't WAIT!!!!!

Man... I cant wait.

We will see if you yankees can keep up with the Southern Boys!!!!!


Highly Unlikely!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Any word yet where the Induction Dinner will be held?

I believe it will be in the hotel's restaurant downstairs. You DON'T want to miss all the fun!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I plan on being there, we're staying at a different hotel but as long as my wife can find the way back we're golden.

We stay at an "extended stay" hotel about three miles away. It costs about $100.00 per night less than the Waverly, and as my wife doesn't drink she can drive! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My first blade show. Q= What is the induction dinner?? And is it only for certain people???

Kick - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
The induction dinner is where Dogs, Rats, and Hogs are "officially inducted" by the heads of the respective Busse companies - Dan Busse for Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> It is all good, clean family-friendly fun that you don't want to miss! The Busses host this for their customers at their expense, and it is a great time. I hope that you make it - you can recognize me by the Challenge Coin tattoo on my arm! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
