For those of you planning to attend the Knob Creek show next week, we have a change to the normal Thursday night pre show party.
Due to new hotel rules and regulations at The Golden Manor, we are changing the way we do Thursday night. In the past we had everyone line up at the door when they arrived and then that was the order that you got to enter the room for the buying portion of the evening. In the past we have had people camping out for days at the door to be the first one in.
This year it will be done differently. Because we can not have people sleeping outside next to the door for days, we have come up with a new way to determine who is the first in when the trough opens for business.
Like past shows the first hour of the show will be preview only. No purchases will be made during this time so everyone has a chance to see all the goodies.
Here is where things are changing. This year everyone who comes in during the preview time will have their name put into a bucket. At the end of the preview time we will draw names that will determine the order of entry back into the room for the mad rush for blades.
This means everyone can get a good night sleep and not have to sleep outside in the elements just to get a place in line.
While I always enjoy seeing you guys camped out, or passed out, by the door we had to make this change. Hopefully this doesn't put a damper on some of the pregame festivities that you guys have enjoyed over the years. By all means, enjoy the evening if you arrive Wednesday night. Spend time talking with fellow Hogs, Rats, and Dogs. Have a few drinks and enjoy. Only difference this time is that you can do it in the comfort of your room as opposed to roughing it out under the stars.
If my sleep deprived rambling doesn't make sense please ask questions. We are gonna have a great time and I look forward to seeing all of you very soon.
Thanks
Garth
