How about we meet at the Elvis statue in the lobby so there is only ONE spot?  Just my recommendation but I’ll defer to the group 

 

I’m not sure if we can find this “Elvis”. It has been a year since I was last there and I’m getting old, and forget a lot. Lol

See y’all tomorrow! 

[Stephen]

Old M-14s doubt they have auto slect.

Nam era

Any 1911 WW2 or early.  Unless they have one used in Nam my CO sidearm. 

 

Mainly group photos on the night out so I can put faces to name and the ones I do know to see how aging is going lol

 

Book em DanO

I will take lots of photos and post here. Besides hot ladies, anything in particular you would like to see? Remember, there are lots of antique guns at the show as well.

See above

I may be missing this even after all... I got strep a few days back and have been religiously pounding antibiotics trying to get it to break. If it clears up, I may make it Friday or Saturday, but if not, I'll be missing out.

Wishing you a speedy recovery @nulldevice

Thanks! The Westgate was kind enough to refund my hotel the same day thankfully. I can’t begin to describe how frustrated I am to get sick this weekend of all weekends. I’ve been reading books and preparing for this almost non-stop the last few weeks.
 

Take pictures of any cool blades you guys see for me! 

[Stephen]

Only 230 and I'm already checking for updates lol

That's Grey and Mark with back to us.

Other photos I mainly see sword tables.

 

Looking forward to the group dinner photo DanO

[Stephen]

Know all the players you posted just now about, haven't seen Roger in 20 some years or his wife..

Haven't met you or these fine members 

 

@nulldevice + Friend not coming
@Mark S. & Michelle
@SteveM
@yurie and Husband
@TnMike

May have missed one more.

 

[nulldevice]

I'm there in spirit. Aka looking at these photos while hacking up a lung here on my computer. 

 

I know for a fact if I was there, I'd be leaving with my first sword too...

 

That selection is unreal! If anyone sees some steals on a good koto blade, hit me up! 

[DTM72]

@Stephen

@TnMike is in the background of the picture of my table. Eric Moliner is in the black, just over his shoulder in the distance.

I have chatted with Mark S. a few times today. He does not have a table but is on the hunt for hidden gems.

Have not crossed paths with @Brian yet.

I’ll take some pics during dinner tonight. All the above should be there.

[PNSSHOGUN]

Great pictures, keep them coming!

[Stephen]

@DTM72

The dinner is fine I can't see past your table brother.  Know Eric well my ol mate back in the day.

@Brian who's who?

@DTM72

Thanks for fixing it

 

How was the sushi?

[Rivkin]

Congrats! Sorry I had to work and missed on fun.

[Stephen]

Is Brian MIA???

[Brian]

I was behind the camera where I belong 😁

Was a great evening. Really enjoyed spending time with everyone. Sushi was actually very decent. We ate a ton. Quality was good. Man, those plates kept coming. Everything went very smoothly. 
Looking forward to today. Back and feet hate me. A LOT 

Time to start getting ready for today. Last da in Vegas. New Orleans here we come.

Thank you for the updates and sharing the photos; it's nice to put a name to a face.

 

If things go according to plan and trust they will, I'll be at Chicago in April and Orlando in June.
