Solvang and OKCA Shows

[Izrafil]

So any of the Usual Suspects crowd going to either of these shows? My girlfriend and I have already made arrangements to go

 

[BLADELAW]

I go every year to Solvang. Not big, just first rate. The makers have to be invited. Always something good. Bring lots of money.

 

[Izrafil]

Yeah, I heard that Solvang is a really nice show. Plus there's some wine tasting for those that are interested. Probably be doing more looking that buying

Bladelaw:
I'll be there! Just booked my hotel reservations. Just look for the short guy in the LA ball cap (black with camoflage L A logo.

I heard that the Solvang Show is invitation-only for the exhibitors. Anyone know what it takes to get invited? I'm just curious because there are some people who do great work but aren't on the list.

By the way, I'm going to both the OKCA and Solvang shows. I can't wait!

 

[rfrost]

I'll be at the OKCA show in Eugene. Anyone know if Ernie will have a table there?

If any of you are going to either show feel free to say hi! I'll be wearing my trusty black and white addidas cap

If you see a 6'3" 220 lb. American Indian with a ponytail and glasses, it probably me!

Not going to the Solvang show, but I've attended it in it's infancy, and it was a FINE show. Not a lot of makers, just the best. Deep pockets will really be to your advantage.
