Post by: speedenforcer on December 04, 2016, 03:06:51 PM
Who all will be attending the Charleston show January 2017. I can't wait. Getting to excited and I still have to play Santa Clause for my 5 yoa son and wife. Hopefully she will be generous at the show,  ;D

Sorry for the late reply.  We were wrapping up some customer focused efforts at work this week and along with life's other demands that did not leave me much time for email, texts and the forum.  I've not even unpacked from the Franklin Show.  My rambling aside, I've not decided for sure but am leaning strongly toward not going to the Charleston show.  I hate that as I like the show and Charleston so much plus have a number of friends there and it is the only time I see them.

I'm sorry you wont make it carl, I met you last year at the show. I'm the one that you were really generous and gave me a good deal on the 1/2 section 6.4" Brook shell. Very grateful to have it.

I always look forward to the Charleston show. It's not the biggest in tables, not the biggest in attendance, not the biggest in sales, but it is a fun time in a cool city. We always try to get out and do some sight seeing somewhere down there. A nice weekend.     I'll have 2 tables, I'll be heavy with artillery and have a smattering of guns, swords, buttons, plates, bullets etc.. I bought a collection with the typical CW collectables in it, and I am trying to diversify a little.  Come by and visit !   David

I'll be selling cannonballs out of my truck like a farmer selling watermelons. Anybody need a cheap 10" ball? I can't sell shells when I have a table for some reason but seem to do ok peddling. See the tall  guy with the green hat and get a deal!

Just trying to be helpful here...maybe this picture of you selling 10" balls in the parking lot last year will help people identify you at the show:

I heard that someone had a shell stolen during the dealer set up Friday evening. You know that is a shame. Especially since it was SUPPOSED to be for dealers only in the building. But there wasn't anyone actually watching the entrance so anybody could walk in.  >:( Darn shame.

 I just heard from another dealer at this so that the stolen cell turns out to have just been left in the owner's car. He'll be thought he had brought it in.   Good to hear  that it actually was not stolen.

 The NyQuill buzz might be nice, but, believe me, you don't want what Carl had racking through his body Friday night, and Saturday morning, and Saturday day, and Saturday night, and Sunday morning....

That was kind of crazy.  Sorry about that.  It was part tiredness and part voice-to-text errors not seen as I didn't have my glasses on.  It should have read:

DiveDigger,

Thanks.  Very sorry to have missed you.  I was oblivious to the world outside my hotel room Saturday and didn't even think to reach out to you (or anyone else).
