I see in numerous posts that the NAPCA show in Chattanooga next week is going to be attended by a fair representation of members from both forums. This is the first time I will be attending the show and I am really looking forward to seeing old and new friends. I think it is going to be a great time. See you there!

Guys,

Sorry I won't be joing you this time...work is work and always in the way. I will only be 1 State away from TN and will still not be able to break loose...

BTW...that cozy little fire-side lounge in the Chattanoogan Hotel is a place of some serious hard drinking...be careful in there...if you do ice-teas...you will be fine...

Russ, we missed you in Reno this weekend! I would like to go to Chattanooga but on call obligations prevent it.

Edward Tinker · 08-19-2007, 11:34 PM

Should be fun, at least 5, maybe even 8 folks I call close friends will be there. I fly in Friday AM and iut sunday early morning. Should be a fun trip.

Tom, I will be there on Thursday afternoon and stay til Sunday. Maybe even buy something. I will bring my camera and teach you all I know. Should take about ten minutes.

Navy · 08-21-2007, 09:39 PM

Heinz, mein kamerad...

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to at last meet in person. If there is anything you seek, pls send a PM and I will try to oblige.

Edward Tinker · 08-22-2007, 09:26 AM

Tom, I have been telling folks that I didn't think you were going to be there. Well, there goes my sobriety...

thegundude · 08-22-2007, 10:01 AM

Ed, it's been my observation that sobriety is over-rated...

So the show is one week from tomorrow? Is this an open show or do I need to belong to the NAPCA? If it's next week then I may be able to buzz over for the day. Choo-choo town isn't that far.

Edward Tinker · 08-22-2007, 10:12 AM

This Thursday it starts, Friday and Saturday are the big meeting days.

23-26 Aug 07

You are supposed to be a NAPCA member, I am sure they would take your application at the door

($50 ?? a year)

thegundude · 08-22-2007, 11:16 PM

Rats. I'm leaving for Dallas in the morning...

Seems like I was away on business during this show last year. Work sucks...

Well guys, have a brew for me and try not to drool on the pretty guns. I'll be thinking of you all while I'm sweating in the Tejas heat!

Pete Ebbink · 08-25-2007, 03:27 PM

Non-NAPCA members can also attend...but they are usually "sponsored" by a current Member and signed-up for attendance ahead of time.

If at the door, I still think you need to have a NAPCA-member "sponsor' your membership application...i.e. someone to "vouch" for you...
