I am going to be there all three days with a table. Sorry Fred and again I would like to apologize. I hope there is no ill blood between us especially in case our tables are next to each other.

Every good sword show should have at least one duel.

Love karma!!!

A rap battle should settle the score.

 

I can hear the tune:

"A moment of patience in a moment of anger can help us avoid a thousand moments of sorrow"

 

 

(Sorry. I am on holiday in Sapporo and spent the afternoon at the Sapporo Beer gardenl. Hic!)

There was a mini concert outside the show this year. This was as close as it came to the rap battle. Fred W. did a great job putting on the show as usual. Got to see some amazing swords and tsuba. Picked up some very nice goodies and left with no money.

Chuck thats the way to do a show, would like to make one more before its all over.

Thanks again to Fred Weissberg, the NORCAL club, and the NBTHK-AB for another great SF show. A little smaller than prior years (as predicted by some here) but very lively. Many lovely things on display with pricetags, including 8 or 10 Juyos and 2 fabulous TokuJus -- and that's just the blades. Big-ticket and low-end items seemed to be moving well, mid-range pieces less so. Special treats were a lecture by Ted Tenold on the history and nature of polishing stones, and the now-becoming-traditional Saturday evening Kanikapila, this year organized by Mas Kawai and featuring Bobby Moderow, ably assisted by Wally Morishige and Yvette Nii. It may be true that the internet is causing shows in general to decline, but this one is still alive and kicking, and great fun.

 

A few photos (hope it's not too many).

There can never be to many pictures from the San Francisco sword show. (At least in my opinion) Thought I would add a few from previous years, mainly for those who have never had the opportunity to attend.

[Brian]

Thank you both, appreciate the pics. Oneday....
