Every year for 4 years now, it has been an absolute blast to meet in person and share time with so many great folks that I've come to know from here... But this year it was truly an honor & a pleasure to finally meet Rob & Karen Stanley! :thumbup: Ever since Rob first started posting here, I had always thought that this guy was... Well CRAZY! :D ...But my kind of crazy, LOL, and someone that I hoped to know better through meeting in real life. His better half, Karen was also a joy to meet and share conversation with as well, and now that she's inducted, she'd better start posting here!!! :grumpy:;) ...Especially with some pix of her awesome Custom Shop Cultellus!! :thumbup:
As many of you know, Rob is the artistic HOG that, from the other side of the freakin' planet, created the art that graces the booth at the BLADE show for the second year now and is also responsible for many of the current T-shirts created for Busse Combat, including this year's O.I.N.K. shirt (I MUST HAVE ONE!) and the ONE TOUGH FAMILY logo T offered at the 2010 Show... Great stuff!!!
He is also a talented musician who has just released his first CD, entitled: The Doorway In The Darkness (Available on iTunes...GET IT NOW!!! :D ...Sorry, Rob, shameless plug for ya!))

Of course, they ARE from Australia, so Rob is not completely without fault. Every time someone pulled out a knife over the weekend, the same thing happened. This hat would just appear out of thin air and... ;)
