Order of KAI Official Hang Out; Part Deux - It's Enrico Palazzo!

Are those pelican cases nice? right now all i use is ZT knife bags from Dave, was wondering if i should get something better
 
Sweet! I just wanted to make sure. When the time comes around and you decide to go, shoot me a PM and I'll talk to my mom about it. She might be a little hesitant with me going to Georgia with a complete stranger (at least too her), but I think after talking to her for awhile about it and telling her about the whole experience and what It'll be like for me to experience it, she won't be able to say no :D. I'll tell her about Mario, Manny, Adam, Thomas, Kirby, Mark and whoever else is going so then she'll know what I'm actually doing and I'm not just going for the heck of it. She'll probably make me pay for some of it, but the experience will trump the cost.

Sweet deal broski! The more I think about it, the more im convinced on going... so basically... im about 69% sure i'll be going next year. Now i just need to plan, plan, and plan. Packing is in there somewhere.. but all i need is one pair of clothes, 5 (exactly 5) pairs of underdrawers so when i crap myself when i meet the people at Kai, and then all the customs... im prepared.

Also, if she wants to talk to me (which im sure she will...) don't hesitate to have her call me up. I like to think im pretty easy to talk to.. I have that whole "Minnesota Nice" thing going for me :)

I don't know about your mom, but my mom wouldn't budge.
Mom, this guy I met on the interwebz said he'll drive me down to Atlanta to go to Blade show. (roughly 750 miles away)

Maybe after she talks to Eric, and runs a couple background check on him :p

Yeah.... about those background checks....

HAHAHA jk, the only thing on my record is a single parking ticket :)

they are really nice, fit a zt box perfectly end to end, i can fit quite a few knives in it actually. Really tough too
 
Atleast u guys have parents that care......there are millions of kids and young adults out there who parents dont care at all what they do
I'm not complaining. I like having parents that make sure I don't do absolutely moronic stuff.........sometimes :p
Well, if I word it like that, than there's no way in hell she'll let me go. If I do something along the lines of "Mom....there's this knife show called Blade Show down in Atlanta every year, and one of my knife buddies (I call you guys my buddies when I talk to my parents about you) said if we can meet him somewhere, than he'd be willing to take me for the weekend. I know you're probably throwing up a bunch of red flags, but Thomas (I'll explain to her who that is for about 5 minutes), Kirby, Mark, Adam, Mario, Manny, etc. are all going too. I promise that I'll talk to you everyday and let you know what's going on. I'll ALWAYS be with someone I know and I'll be spending most of my time at the Kershaw/Zero Tolerance booth (she roughly knows what/who they are)." By this time she'll be bored out of her mind and ask a few questions that I'll swiftly answer and she'll know that I know what I'm doing and she'll say yes :D. Sound like a good plan? I'll kind of make it sound like a rant. It'll be a very good toned rant though.
I wish you good luck.
Sounds good!

TiLT in my front right, 0600 in my front left, SpyKer in my back left (wallet in back right)
Maybe a couple other knives in my cargos with my light, keys, phone, etc.
 
Hopefully at next year's blade I'll be able to woo some chicks with my (probably basic) Japanese ;)
Or at minimum woo John Grimsmo into giving me a discount on a Norseman :p

You need to have a knife clipped to every pocket!

Sounds good! I'm positive she'll want to talk with you and she'll ask you questions. That "Minnesota nice" thing will be good because she likes when people sound like they know what they're doing.

That single parking ticket is A LOT better than my mom's driving record lol. She ran over two DEAD deer once. Don't ask me how, but she did.

I make my own luck :p.

I don't have any knives that most of you guys haven't seen or handled, but I'll try to carry as many as possible just for the heck of it.....assuming I go. Hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink Eric. ;)

Be warned, some of the cutest girls there have...um..how should I put this...their fathers are Ernest Emerson...and Jeff Randall..tread lightly. :eek:

Yep! No worries bro. Like I said, If i was your mom (boy that would be weird) I would have questions to ask as well. So im cool with it.. just warn her... that any questions she asks have a 100% likelihood to have a sarcastic or smart-ass comeback attached to their response :) Thats just how I roll...

Pshhh... I aint even scared! Have you seen me!? (no you haven't, but still...)

Haha, I'll tell her :)

I've seen your bicep in the old chat thread. It's big.
 
Sure, why the hell not ;)

As long as you make sure I get buried with my TiLT.

I'll hand it to the coroner too. ;)

That doesn't sound right.

No. It does not sound right at all.
