Blade West 2009

I just realized that we're inside three weeks until Blade West and haven't yet had a thread on it. So...

1) Who's planning to attend?
2) Any info on what we might expect from Busse/Swamp/Yard? (fingers crossed for more than last year!)

I'll be there, of course I don't know if I'm gonna have any money.

From a thread I started a few months ago it sounds like last years short supply of knives was a fluke.

Doesn't sound like Blade West is like Atlanta. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" /> I will be in the bottom of the Grand Canyon so will miss it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />. Oh well- looks like will just have to hit Atlanta next year <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sorry I am going to miss you Bruce <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. maybe we can get together in Eugene in April <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />( I think) . That is a great show with many custom makers. Not much Busse- but some and also many customs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. When it comes closer we will see how many Dawgs are going to make it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I wonder what Bussekin knives will be there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Perhaps Dan could give us an idea, and we could line up proxies if needed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I can't make Blade West this year either, but was thinking about heading to
Eugene next year. Missed it this year.

Cheers

Sounds good- maybe Dave-Which- and several others can make it too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />!! We can ask the Busse folks what they " might" have in Eugene <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I had a ball there this last yaer -so hopefuly you guys can all make it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. If you join their club it allows for Friday entry. Not needed- but I like it. Let's keep it on the table and see what we can come up with-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Moving in about 6 weeks so all cash is going towards that. I'm waiting for the next Blade East and I'm there.

I don't think I will make it this year (2 years going now).

but you never know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
