Icepic Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 Hello Members, Does anybody know when and where the next NTHK Shinsa in the USA will be? Thanks. Quote
Stephen Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 Chris B will step in here, a Twin City Shinsa is in the works. Im hoping its a go. Quote
Justin Grant Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 I was told October of 2011. Let's keep our fingers crossed! See the last post by Chris B. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9070 Quote
cabowen Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 Formal announcement will be made in a few days but I can say now that the dates will be Oct. 7,8,9, 2011 at the Hilton in Minneapolis.... Quote
ububob Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 I'm looking forward to it. I need some second opinions. Quote
cabowen Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 not unless you bring her Jean..... Quote
ububob Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 Jean, I would have guessed that you prefer someone with a little greater intellectual capacity... Quote
David Flynn Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 I don't think he wants to marry her. Quote
ububob Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 David, Jean is an honorable man and his intentions could not be otherwise... Quote
David Flynn Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Ah, reminds me of a movie, One night in Paris Quote
Mark Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 i will be at the show. I enjoyed the last one, look forward to it and hope it will be come a regular event Quote
Grey Doffin Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I can second that. Chris and Larry put on the most interesting Nihonto show in the States. Others might be bigger but none come close for displays and seminars. The last one they did included, if I remember correctly, tamahagane production in Minnesota, kimonos, tea ceremony, ikebana, and more. The show before the last had a swordsmith, habaki maker, and saya maker. Do yourself a favor and attend their show. Grey Quote
cabowen Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks for the kind words guys... We have tried from the start to make our shows more education oriented, with lectures, teaching displays, exhibits, etc., covering a wide variety of sword related subjects. We haven't decided the full program yet for the upcoming show but it will once again include lectures, displays, and sword exhibits. We hope everyone with an interest in samurai culture can attend....More details to follow shortly.... Quote
Peter Bleed Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 I'll be there as well, Chris. I am glad you are making this happen. Please sign me up for at least one table and a couple of shinsa slots. Is there anything I can do to help? Peter Quote
cabowen Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Gentleman- Greatly appreciate the support and offers to help and contribute. We will surely need assistance to make this happen and I will contact you privately shortly to discuss.... As far as table inquiries/reservations are concerned, Larry Klahn at lklahn@aol.com will handling everything related to that. I will be handling shinsa inquiries/reservations.... Again, we will have all the detailed info released in a few weeks. Again, many thanks.... Quote
