Great idea Prof. That thing was awesome. You don't have to be at TFCTFN to win?
Your stuff looked very cool btw.

I saw that vise at plugfest and had to get a ticket it's incredible. Great job ProfessorM.

you better raffle that baby,

I am not going to throw this back if I win it!

WOW, paulie!!!

that is sum AMAZING work.

the design is stunning and the craftsmanship
speaks for itself. i especially like the engraving!

i'm in for 4 tix, a RAFFLE will definitely bring down the duckets.
am hoping to mame the tfctfn affair, still working on my pass.
:uhuh: :uhuh: :uhuh:

WOW - I'm not worthy of that, PM! I'm a hack compared to you.

Let me know what the tickets will be and I'm in for some to keep the lights on. If some one sends me a pm with details I will follow through. I've been busy with ACONE's annual conference and trying to find a new location if we have to move in May.

Where do you find the time to make these things on top of all your other things! :D

i'm amazed at how many talented people there are at MAKING stuff. good thing cause i'm only good at BREAKING stuff. its good to have friends that can MAKE stuff. problem is, i break it faster than they can make it. oh well.

Great Job Professor !!:claps:

OK - details are here - sorry for the tardiness :whackin:

You can click on the donate button on the right side of the front page: http://www.striped-bass.com/striper-fishing/

OR Paypal to stuff@linesiders.com - Tickets are $5 each so use a multiple of $5.

PM your name & Paypal email address used, and how many tickets you bought to: SB-Raffle, your name will be matched to tickets for the drawing.

Drawing will Be Saturday Feb 28 at TFCTFN - Feb 28,2009. Last chance to buy tickets is NOON Friday.

Thank you everyone - and again - Big Thanks to Professor Moriarty :btu:

But we will be able to buy tickets at TFCTFN??????

Doesn't sound like it as deadline is Friday. My feeling is ticket sales on vice auction will detract from raffle tickets from table if sold at same time.

I think it is a good move.

Trying to keep them separate

At the beginning of TFCTFN we'll sell a few tickets

Buying tickets online by Paypal will end Friday at noon as in addition to getting the tickets done for the vise I have to get stuff ready for TFCTFN too after I get out of work. We should keep them seperate though overall :kewl:.

I'll need a few at TFCTFN. I'll be arriving with the HESS entourage early on.

John,

Could not get the DONATE link to work.

Can I put a check in the mail?

Shiney

BTT

DONE - sent off $.

How come this isn't sticky?! :P

Thanks Paul & S-B.

I'm in! :bounce:

Even though I'm out - :yak:

I'm not gonna be able to make TFCTFN - still too sick - contacted the Cap for tix -

Now I'm gonna crawl back into bed with my rosary beads and hope I win -

Good Luck...
I hope ya feel better.

shameless bump

luv that avatar surfpirate, someone close to you?

yes, my future ex-wife.
pretty, fit... and as sharp as a bowling ball

that pic was to show me how good the bellybutton stud I bought her looked.....

tell her I approve too.

So, again, I need to extend my appreciation to Paul for such an awesome job on this Vise plus donating this to the site - people don't come no finer ('cept for females :love: )

And now. to the important part. The tickets were available at PlugFest, the past few days online via PayPal, and for the first half hour or so of TFCTFN. We did want to keep it separate from the other goings on.

I had Paul dig into the coffee can for the winning ticket and the winner is:

Thank you all, thank you Paul, and thanks for rare good raffle fortune for me as I did not win another raffle item last night :fury:

Congrats John! I liked the short moment of silence when you were deciding if it was right for you to keep it. You made the right choice!

congrats, my pleasure
