Who is Going To The NY Knife Show?

Hey, wait a minute. How'd I get to be the bouncer here? I don't work for free!(stopped bouncing a long time ago at the suggestion of Mrs Lifter due to uh, er, ah, socializing)
Nakano, if you bring tuff cloths again, save me one.
I'm gonna rest up. Gonna need lots of energy to haggle with Les

Guys, I'll be making a trip to the Mid-West from Nov 7-10, will it cost me a bomb to fly to NY from Colorado?

Errr, even if I reach there safely, are there any good and cheap place to crash?

Hello All,

I will be there. It will cost me more to spend one night at the Sheraton than the round trip flight from Little Rock to NY!

It is a great show. See you all there.

A note about NYC hotels: we now have lots of good, safe, reliable hotels in the $80-$120 price range; Sheraton prices are outrageous and geared for expense account execs. Check out internet sites that deal with hotel rooms and you can do lots better. A note about NYC geography: anything between 6th Avenue and 8th Avenue, 34th Street to 57th Street will be within a comfortable (20-30 minute) walking distance of the hotel. Use public transportation and save lots over cabs - most NYC cab drivers don't speak English and have no idea where anything is, so..... Anyway, if I can help anyone with NYC info, let me know. Have lived here for lots of years....

I'll still put my money on Lifter.
2 to 1 odds. Any takers?

Maury makes some good points. One thing to consider is that the NY Marathon is the same weekend as the show. That is going to eat up a lot of rooms.

Are those 2-1 odds before or after he gets done haggling with me?

Wow, sounds like a lot of folks are going to be at this show. My plans have now changed and it looks like I will be going down on Friday instead of Sunday myself.

As much as I cant wait to see the knives, I also cant wait to see you Phil, you mysterious picture taking bastid, and of course it will be fun to also meet up with Darrel, the author of the bastid dictionary, and you other chat and forum bastids.
 
Quick note. The NYC Marathon is on Nov. 5th.
Hopefully everyone will have finished by show time.

Okay folks the show is right around the corner and I thought this needed to go BTTT, just so we can see who is going when?

As for me, I doubt very much if I'll be able to get there Fri. before 5:30

I'll be there all day Sat and Sun is undecided.

For all of you that I've insulted here and are going only to kick my butt, Les is selling tickets on a first come first kick basis.

So I guess you guys won't meet the question asking bastid! Or the little PL! I hate it when teachers assign papers when there are knife shows

Well, it was assigned 2 months ago, but that is besides the point!

Damn. Oh well, maybe next year!! Lifter, tell you son good luck on the competition!!!
 
I will be there, The New York Show goes like this for me:

Chilling with my old homies' Joe Szilaski or McC Mountain.

Searching for new makers to write articles about.

Searching for new makers to NOT wrote articles about (a few come to mind...)

Watching Ed Hhalligan sell out of KISS knives for the -th year in a row...it must be a NY thing....


Yelling at Bob Dozier so he can hear me...
(Damn grinders make ya deaf!)

Listening to the ever present rant from Bob Taylor...he will be missed this year..LOL

Watching Bob Terzuola sell out on Friday..

Watching all of the surreptcious auto buying going on.

Usually acting as food delivery boy for the fine gentlemen at Camillus Cutlery.

Fondling Fondling Fondling
(knives, that is)

getting chastised by my editor for being slack.

also, probably haggling with Larry Connelly, , walking the aisles with Big Bad Bob or eating a huge sammich at the Stage Deli

NY show
yum
