Blade 2011 = Bloody Awesome People!!!

[RobStanley]

After another whirlwind tour of the USA, we're home safe and sound. We had such a blast and the highlight, without any shadow of a doubt, was the Blade Show.

A gathering of some of the nicest, most friendly and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I could ramble on for hours, but I'll let some pics tell the story. There's heaps of 'em, so be patient and enjoy.

Our first night was a casual drink & eat fest at Jocks-n-Jills. (BTW, it seems Karen and I ate our way across the country for two weeks)

My darling Karen and the beautiful Amy-0 with their one off "INFI is a girl's best friend" tees...

Yours truely and the awesome Jaxx and RV03V0M...

Karen with the uber cool Shane and Debbie...

Having a ball...

On set up day...

The hilarious Terry Newtown - "How's it goin' mate?"

Nerdlinger...

Fun & Feasting at Fogos.

I swear, I ate so much meat, I passed granite for a week!!!

Induction night at Jocks-n-Jills. MANY red wines and beers were ingested. That's a good thing, becasue I ate about forty thousand buffalo wings!

The awesome Dave Brown...

ManixJ getting his HOG on...

Savannah MacNeil being inducted into Hogdom...

Jaxx getting his Dog Bowl license...

I give you "Slobber Chops Stanley"

It's my pleasure to introduce you to "Foxy Lady"

And it just goes down hill from there...

Rob, those are some great pics! However, is it customary in Australia to hug men like Mack instead of "the delicious ladies of Busse"? ...........
