Thanxx Much to the Busse Crew, and the Post Show Blues...

Jaxx · Jun 14, 2011

Another show...my 5th... And another incredibly GREAT time! It IS amazing how you all get it done.

From my angle watching the Crew set up, work the Show, stand for days, run on little sleep, live on coffee, thrill us all so completely both at the Show and during the nightly events thrown for our benefit... They do it all with warm smiles and friendly faces...and then tear it all down again, pack it up and begin the long journey home...and knowing that it is but just a percentage of what goes into every BLADE Show, I just want to THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart for Bringing It bigger, better, faster, stronger, year after fantastic year that draws us in and sets us on the pilgrimage to "Knife Mecca" from around the world!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Amy, Mack, Beef, Lexi, Mongo, Billy, Garth, Laura, Josh, Pokey, and The BOSSMAN, Jerry Busse...and his brother the Boss DOG, Dan Busse

...YOU ALL ROCK!!!!
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH for doing it all again & again!!

:thumbup::thumbup:

...And now for the blues...

Yes, it's true. Busse puts on such a great show, and the Crew and the HOGs are like family...so much even, that I miss you all immensely and I get the post BLADE blues every year for a couple of days. This year, for some reason, it's a little more intense. No worries, though... The blues ain't nothin' more than a good HOG feelin' bad.

...And it too shall pass. Just know that I had a great time seeing the Crew and all those in our extended family that made it to Atlanta for one helluva great time!

Jamie & Diane, Rob & Karen, SO glad that y'all could make it again!!!

...Manix J, leagaleagle, VoxHog, G19G26, GPB, Mike H & Kim Hamhocks, knife hunter & family, Shane & Mrs. Shane , Drew, Jerry, Doc & Mrs. Doc , Scott, Eric L, "The Bully", Ronnie, and so many more truly great people than I could ever remember to mention (crappy memory does NOT help me here!

)... I just want to say thanxx to you all too for the friendship. More important than even the knives, and much more valuable to me. Thank you! :thumbup::thumbup:

...And to those HOGS who could not attend: You are always missed much, but even more so at the Show...

Thanks Jaxx, you described it perfectly....I am too suffering from "post bladeshow blues"

it may sound strange to miss people that you just met in person....although when you spend so much time talking on the on the forums, when you all get together it is like being around old friends and family....which actually... we all are... "distance challenged old friends to be accurate" but friends none the less.

thanks to all of you fine people that made my blade show even better than expected....and I have high hopes always lol

It was an amazing show, and how they all do it is more amazing.

And, from the bottom of my heart as well, THANK YOU BUSSE CREW!!! You all are great people :thumbup:

Oh, Jaxx, you forgot Eric Isaacson. Are you saying Eric doesn't rock?

He's "The Bully"! ...Guess I should have stuck with Porkerson.

And yes, he most definitely does! You too! Pretty sure in all the confusion this past weekend I met you too, didn't I?

Eric, a bully? Naaaa...... I don't see it

And yes, you met me, I'm the one who you lowered your shoulder into to get the proto Killa Zilla with coyote G-10

But that's okay, you took a shot to the head that day and I managed to snag an awesome knife from you during that same offering

I scored a what?

LOL, I was just backin' up Jamie, whose card you were trying to rip out from under his foot!

...He let me keep it.

Under his foot? My foot was on bottom and his was on top of mine, so......

To be honest, the fight for the knives was awesome. But to give people the cards of knives that I collected and didn't want to people who wanted them but didn't nab them was the best part.

But let it be known, if there was only 1 INFI folder left and it came bewteen you and I, NO MERCY!!!!
