got to get funds together and make it this year

dekers is going i think and i need to tag along to meet some of the greats
and have a scotch
 
I'm still trying to see if i can scrounge up the money to register (hopefully spots arent all taken already) Cross fingers for me. If i am able to make it i'll be sure to bring some good scotch with me.
 
Hey Gary! Who's that stunning fellow on the left in the first picture you posted, with the other two dumpy, portly guys? Seems like he looks to be smarter than to associate with that riff-raff...
 
Matt, Don't try and cover up your evil shenanigans... It's clear to all that you and Spangles were picking on me. The only thing thats "stunning" is how deep the BS is getting.:D

By the way...that very handsome fellow in the middle of the first pic is me.;)
Mace
 
Mace, as you say, anyone can plainly see that you were the center
of it there, how could it be something you did or were doing?
You have such a kindly smile, father Christmas kinda guy as I remember ;)

And Matt, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, fur sure :)

for those not in the know, the area where that was shot was at the dining hall
at Ashokan not a lot of light, hence the motion from Mr Spangles attack on poor Mace!

yeah yeah thats it..... i rub maces back in the dark because it makes for a good low light condition to attack... yeah... yeah

matt..... you got nothing

damn i better start shipping some knives so i can pay for this event....
 
As I recall that back rub was pretty good....I'll be lookin for another this year Spangles.:D
Mace

Wait till you see Mr. Rados....talk about father christmas!:D

I wanted to give you guys a heads up on something .

I sent in a registration for my friend Don Agee to come to Ashokan. He is the knifemaker who runs a BBQ restaurant. He has always wanted to come, since one of his long time friends is an early student of Dan Maragni's, and went to Ashokan regularly years back. Don has had a hard couple of years with the economy, and to top it off, they removed his entire colon this summer. He is back to work, broke, and...well... he has sure been beat up by life this year. I decided to take him to Ashokan as my guest. I arranged with the gal who works for him and his sister to run the shop for the long weekend and all is set.

I told him last week, and he is very excited to say the least. He will be like a kid ( OK, maybe a 65 year old kid) is a candy shop. He especially wants to meet Dan, who he has heard so much about. Others he wants to meet are Kevin, Don Fogg, and all the rest of you.

You guys are some of the best down to earth folks I have ever met, so i know he will be well received.
