Due to being laid off last year I am not able to attend the Blade Show this year as I have the previous 3 years.All this week all I have been able to think about is the good times I had previous years and the good times I will be missing out on this year.:(
I know I am not alone and I am lucky to have been able to attend the previous years but I just needed to vent.
So good luck and good times to all you lucky hogs who are able to make it this year and hopefully I will be back in the not to distant future.:)
 
I'll try to take a bunch of pics for you I will be there friday for my first time! I just need to learn how to upload them.
 
Chiller, sorry you cant make it man!, I will make sure we do some damage @ FOGOs for ya :D ,

As for the rest of us who wont be making it this year--for whatever reason... I'll sing the "Blade Show Blues" with ya...:(

Whose got the lyrics?

Ahhh, yes--here they are... "Brother, my cup is empty" Adapted version


Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven’t got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I can not go to the show


I am the captain of my pain
Tis the bit, the bridle,
The trashing cane
The stirrup, the harness
The whipping mane
The pickled eye
The shrinking brain
O brother, buy me one more drink
I’ll explain the nature of my pain
Yes, let me tell you once again
I am the captain of my pain


O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven’t got a penny
For to buy no more Busse
I have to go home


I cannot blame it all on her
To blame her all would be a lie
For many a night I lay awake
And wished that I could one more Busse buy
To see her accusing finger spurt
To see INFI flash in her hateful eye
To watch her chopping in the dirt
To see her wood chips fly
O brother, buy me one more drink
One more drink and then goodbye
And do not mock me when I say
Let’s drink one more before I buy


O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven’t got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I can not go to the show


Well I’ve been sliding down on rainbows
Well I’ve been swinging from the stars
Now this wretch in beggars clothing
Bangs his cup across the bars
Look, this cup of mine is empty!
Seems I’ve misplaced my desires
Seems I’m buying up the ASH's
Of all my former fires
So brother, be a brother
And fill this tiny cup of mine
And please, sir, make it Busse
For I have a heart for swine


O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven’t got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I can not go to the show


I counted up my blessings
And counted only one
One tiny little blessing
And now that blessings gone
So buy me one more drink, my brother
Then I’m taking to the road
Yes, I’m taking to the rain
I’m taking to those at the "Show"
O my friend, my only brother
Do not let the party grieve
So throw a dollar onto the bar
Now kiss my as* and leave


O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven’t got a penny
For to buy no more Busse
...I have to go home

MADDMAN, that's pretty mad man!!! I wish I could go as well. On shift at the plant and living by proxy.
 
Chiller2 I feel your pain. I have never gone to Bladeshow and I hope someday to realize that dream of attending. My life has been hectic like yours between getting engaged, maried, buying a house and starting on a family. It has been really tough to justify anything but those things listed. Heck I've missed out on a bunch of sweet knives 2 years ago I would have owned all of. Just remember life is like a donut, you got your ups, your downs and if you like Boston creams....the juicy middles :)
