its only 2 hours roughly from me aswell, maybe 3, depends on where it sits in jersey, my sister is in Bergen, any idea how far jersey city is from Bergen county? man, I would LOVE to meet the RHK crew and all you fine folks! I THINK I can squeeze it off. I gotta come w ATLEAST a G in spending money for the big lotto. I bet the winners get mooooobbbed by a bunch of shady resellers trying to make a dime. sh!t...Im just a squirrel tryna get a nut! just a big big fan over here! (I think we all can see that by now hah!)
any info is appreciated. Iv never been to a show like this, only an indoor gardening convention in LA with my boss and co worker, stayed in downtown LA at The Standard, amazing time! so anyway Im a total green horn with shows in general, let alone a custom knife show that RHK will be attending. if one of the vets would be so kind as to PM me some advice? how long before to get there, where to head first, the whole niner! Iv never been to an official knife show, only a small local gun/knife convention thats in town every year. (saratoga springs NY) Anyone one wanna take me on as a "knife show protege"? I promise, Im good good company.
I would be like a kid in a candy store, but RHK has become all Im interested in. Im sure Ill check out other stuff too, but all Im really goin for is the awesome vibe from the hinderer booth, and meeting everyone face to face. and of course...the lotto
I used to keep Discus fish...obsessively, collecting, had to have the best of the best...I was a big member on the biggest Discus fish forum and I used to travel to near by states for the forum meetings, one time the dude who started simplydiscus.com forums himself, Al Sebeta (basically what Rick is to knives, Al is to Discus fish...so in the Discus world its like me going to ricks ranch...anyway, I had a BLAST! after that I attended a few more gatherings. its so much fun to talk shop with ppl who care as much, sometimes more than you do, learn ALOT, and to put the faces to the names that youve become closer with on here...and to the guys Im not, I would hope to be by the end of those couple days.
thanks everybody in advance, since that Wharnie wiped me out for a while, Im thinkin I should ATLEAST have the dough to attend, just to finally meet everyone, Im dyin to. esp. if I stay w my sister in Bergen, even cheaper...but somethin tells me you gentlemen know how to party, and I may not wanna miss that!!
awesome, I forgot its so soon! Im gonna start planning and saving now! hope to make it! I should if I set my mind on it.
Jensen - believe it or not, I used to think the same, now the kid is 6 and hes a piece of work! I look back at when he was 1,3-4, and I WISH he was that easy again! so dont fool yourself man, I feel like (for us working guys) Ill say maybe 1,2 - 3,4 seemed to be the easiest age to keep your sanity! lol jk, hes not mine, but Iv been with the kid since he was 16 months, and hes goin on 7 in april!!! boy how time flies. altho, if you and your wife are equal care takers of the kids at home, I can see it being tuff. No family to maybe help the wife out so you can sneak to jersey?! Im sure youd miss the hell outta the kiddies, but it'd be great to see ya there buddy!
also, Iv been wondering, what the policy on BYOK to knife shows? are you allowed to walk in with a folder or 2 in your pocket? I would imagine it would HAVE to be, prob. the ONLY time something like that is accepted right?
thanks for reading guys! I reeeaaaallllly hope to make it!
take care boys. have a great night!
