2016 Tampa Sword Show

[Ed]

Let's see a show of hands.  Which of you members will be attending the show next weekend ?

 

I'll be there.

 

PS: Can't bring it all, so if you have seen something on my web site you are interested in and would like to see it in hand, let me know.

Hi

I too will be there. I'm bringing some pieces that never wee on my table before. I'm trying to pay for a recent purchase. Serious inquiries will be welcome as will friendly greetings and chat.

[jlawson]

I will be there. Ed you can bring that kozuka to show me :-) 

[SwordGuyJoe]

I'll be there!

[Curran]

Yo tambien.

[Ed]

I'm bringing some pieces that never wee on my table before.

Barry, let's hope they never do. That could be quite embarrassing. 

 

James, Sold.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone.  Perhaps we can meet up Saturday evening for a NMB group photo and a drink.

[b.hennick]

Good one Ed! Were became Wee. See you there.

Regards,

Barry,

[Pete Klein]

I'll be around also. Bringing some interesting kogai to show and tell with friends so if interested just ask.

 

Being my home State show I always look forward to it. We will raise a bit a 'ell!!! LOL!!!

[Stephen]

NMB Group photo would be great!!

[Grey Doffin]

I'll be there with all swords and kodogu from my site, and some of each that haven't made it on the site yet.  If any of you wants a book let me know and I might be able to fit it in.

I'll be there with some stuff never seen before also! Coming mainly for the shinsa though, THANK YOU Chris!  Mike

[Ed]

NEVER seen before !

NMB Group Photo:

 

I know it is difficult to get a group together at the same time for anything, but I would like to get every NMB member in attendance together for a few minutes for a photo.

 

The big question is, do any of you care to do this ?

 

If so, thinking we might do lunch either Friday or Saturday, say straight up 12:00 and take a photo then.  Everyone has to eat, seems like a good time.

 

Anyone care to add some input as to what they feel might be a better time ???  

[SwordGuyJoe]

Fine by me - It would be nice to put faces with names for those I don't know or haven't met in person.

[b.hennick]

Happy to join in. How about a PA announcement?

[Brian]

Would love to see a group photo!

[Ed]

Barry,  great idea.

[Pete Klein]

Saturday would most likely be better as the attendance is better. Many have to work so don't get in until Saturday.

[Ed]

Ok, since no one else has commented, we will go with Pete's suggestion of Saturday at noon in the lobby. Hope to see you all there.

[Stephen]

LET the fun begin ...have a good show to all!!

[b.hennick]

Hi Ed:

Do you mean the area outside of the show near the sign in table? Or do you mean the lobby of the hotel? We want everyone to find the right place.

[Brian]

And upload the pic from your phone while still there

Have fun guys.

[reeder]

Hope everyone is having a good time.

[Stephen]

sooo hows it going? Good show?

[SwordGuyJoe]

Pretty good! It's really nice to put names and faces together and meet more enthusiasts. Get this... Some knuckehead brought a bunch of gendai junk!

 

 

Posting from my phone sucks, but you get the gist...

[Ron STL]

[Stephen]

Did the NMB group photo go down?

[Jean]

WHERE IS THE PHOTO GROUP !!!!!!!!!

 

You shall all be banned if you attended the show and did not post any picture !!!!

[SwordGuyJoe]

Ed has a group pic that is far more classy as I am not in it.
