Uh-uh. I let a few of the small Darters go early to extremely regular customers and I'm enjoying plenty of grief just for that. Never again.
No reservations or early buyers under any circumstance for the Dannys.
I am probably going to release them simultaneously on the web (if we get enough) and in the store on a Saturday at 9am. Earl will be at the register, someone will handle the phones, and the Ironman and I will be ready to deal with any unruly customers. Depending on the quantity we receive there will be a cap as to how many anyone can buy to make sure more people get a crack at them. I'll make the announcement of their arrival a few days prior.
This all reminds me of back in the day of the infamous fly-tying "bucktail brawls" at the fly fishing shows as well as the early days of the wooden plug boom where people would be clicking away relentlessly on the website waiting for the moment the plugs went public. Trying to distribute Beachmaster Dannys fairly and safely is like trying to distribute food in a starving 3rd world country.
