Shot show get together this year ?

[Jon Coppenbarger]

Had a great time at the chinese returant last year and was wondering if we are going to get together again this year. Same place is fine or if anyone else has someplace better or they prefer thats fine also. The food was great and was close to the convention center.

Its 2 months away but thought I would put this out there for any suggestions or thoughts.

I missed out last year but might make the drive (8 hours) this year. Whats the dates again?

 

[bill2]

who can go?

How do you get in? do you have to be in the industry, a writer, or just a plain ol' gun owner like me. It's in Las Vegas right?

From http://www.shotshow.com

NOTE: Only members of the trade may attend the Show, and must provide a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) number, State Tax Number, or Industry Related Business Card.

More rules: http://www.shotshow.com/reg.cfm#AttRules

I'll be there in January, but not sure if I'm up to a THR meet since I've got 2 other meets to go to already.

 

[bill2]

that's too bad. it sounds like a fun time. thanks for the reply.

 

[Chris Rhines]

JRhines and myself will most likely be there. Would love to meet up.

I'll be there (my 3rd) and I'm none of the above. Just go to the web site and register as a "Guest of the Show".

I'm going to be there again this year guys and this time we will have a booth to man, #8670. I would love to meet up but I'm bringing the family with me this time round and I don't think you guys wanna have a 4-month old around screaming

FYI, I have made plans to take the family to another restaurant in the main building in Chinatown (second floor). I don't have the name of it right now but I will try and post it after the CES show which is on the 4th of Jan. We were there a couple of times this year and the seafood was excellent!

If I am not working on the night you guys decide to go, I will be there: of course.

 

[Jon Coppenbarger]

ok I think we had a few locals that hooked us up last time so if they could start to get a place and the same as last year is fine or suggest someplace else is fine also.
Maybe we can start to get a count so they have a Ideal of who is going and what night.
I think sat. evening around 7 is about right but what do you think.
Put me down for 2.

Jon

 

[Chris Rhines]

Sounds like a plan - put me down for 2. Anyone else?

- Chris

 

[444]

Yes, let's get a count.
Last time we had a good turnout, but not enough that we had to make reservations or anything.
If you want to go to the same place, I can't see the problem with seating a dozen or so people: just like last time.
I am open to whatever you guys want to do (assuming I am off).

 

[Jon Coppenbarger]

I was thinking about it 444 and were you the one who suggessted the chinese place?

I was one of the first there with Justin and Steve and they knew we were coming it seemed.
Just do not want to get there and not have a place for everyone.

Thats 2 for me, 2 for Chris and 444 so thats at least 5 so we have started toward getting it together.
I was thinking and was it friday we went? Not sure .
If someone could post the address and name of the place again that would be great. I remember exactly where it was but thats it.

Thanks Jon

 

[Valkman]

I will go, and hoggunner will be visiting from CA so he may come also.

 

[Wildalaska]

Hey can I come?

That was "Citizen" that kind of put that last meeting together. I haven't seen him around for awhile.
I don't remember the name of the restraunt we went to the last time but it is on the south west corner of Spring Mountain and Valley View.
I was kind of surprised that we went there, but the food was good IMO and the price was right IMO.

 

[Jon Coppenbarger]

That makes up to 7 so far.
Wild Alaska are you going to the show? if you are you are more than welcome. If you have never been and you are a dealer like you are you ned to go. The conections you make and the deals are really good.

444 if you have another place to go that works also as I am open for suggestions as we need someone more local to set the place up.

Its good we have right at a month left and it seems like we are going to have a good turn out.

Which night?

[444]

Jon, I don't have any other suggestions: especially if you were happy with that place. I was surprised we went there only because out of all the world class restraunts in Las Vegas, we went to a off the beaten track (for tourists), run of the mill Thai restruant. I have no problem with it, but it was an unexpected choice.

 

[Wildalaska]

Wild Alaska are you going to the show?

We are exhibitors, forget what booth though..

Can I come to dinner

[Obiwan]

It just isn't fair.....

WA gets to attend , but the rest of us Condescending Bastard's don't

 

[spacemanspiff]

yeah, he should wrap us up a plate to-go.

 

[Jon Coppenbarger]

Wild Alaska yes just let us know how many and we can plan for the amount of folks we get.
I think maybe 444 might be right about better places to go. It does seem like a waste to eat there when they have alot of places nice in town. But want to keep is resonible also. Any suggestions on a place that could seat up to 20 folks without splitting us up?

Wild alaska let me know what booth you will be at and which days and I will stop by.
Jon

 

[444]

Can I come to dinner

I will tell you right now, that if WildAlaska isn't there, I am not coming. I have been waiting for years for him to finally give me his real opinion on Wolf ammo and this is my chance.

It looks like I will be attending the show for the first time this year. I don't plan to stay for all of it, but if I am there when you guys hook up for dinner I might be able to join you.

It would also be interesting to get a listing of the booth numbers and company names for THR members that will be exhibiting at the show. It would be fun to stop by and the faces behind the screen names.
