Follow GEC on Instagram. They recently created an account and are posting photos of the rendezvous starting this morning. Can you spot godfather Charlie? Looks like he lined up early with the masses for a crack at the special Charlow. 

I suspect Charlie is the distinguished looking gentleman on the left that is wearing a beard?
 
Primble, your pictures have made the waiting this week almost unbearable, but my first Charlow has finally arrived :)

First impressions... It's love at first sight :)
 
Charlie, you had a skunk up your sleeve this whole time?! What a cool surprise barlow!

I really like how that acrylic came out, but I especially like the tube!!:thumbup:
 
I found the walnut Charlow a few days ago and could not miss out on it the second time. Little did I know my wife had already ordered me the red jig bone as well. When I got the mail today it certainly was a surprise. My wife is amazing. :)

Very cool surprise.
 
I don't have it in my possession yet but I finally scored a single clip 3rd cut stag! Here's a couple pictures that were taken & sent to me. Will post more when it gets here.

 
Thanks to a heads up from a great contributor here my first SFO Barlow is in the mail. It's the two bladed Red Jigged Bone, just like the one your wife got you KBA (what good taste!) I'm assuming this was part of the most recent run, am I right?

Congrats Duke! :thumbup:
You do know that it's a slippery slope you're on right? It starts with one SFO Barlow or Charlow (Charlie's Barlow) as it's more commonly called here. Before you know it, you'll be looking for more. At least that's what happened to me! I'm already looking forward to next year's run which may be long pull speys according to whispers circulating here. ;)
