Just Returned from the RISSA Show

[Navy Chief]

Got to the show when they opened the doors, was about 15 people back.

Dropped $200 in about a half hour. Finally got some Habs needles, 8 of them actually. Bought one of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s Squids and got a T-shirt with the secret handshake. Got home, ordered 2 more habs from Joe Lyons. Total cost of todays purchases $250 and change. It's good to be single Spent no money at the Gutter Helmet booth.

Missed the bar though, very sad.

Finally met the famous Mustache man himself. Hey Habs, when the stripers show up at the War College, I'll take you out there (just brings squids).

I just got back myself. Lots of booths there and plenty of fishing stuff. It was weird to see the oddball booths there but it was no big deal, just walk right past them, nope, don't need a mortgage. I wanted to trade plugs to the gutter helmut guy for gutters for my addition, he wasn't biting.
We stayed long enough to see the Hab and Tat girls at Habs and Tattoo's booths. Had a few laughs with Charlie Cinto, what a character he is. Saw many familiar faces. I didn't see Eben though Fun afternoon

OhI forgot, Peter, I saw the needle you made in the Aquaskinz booth - nice, looked like birch.

How's the parking at the show? Is there parking on the street? Can a Chevy Tahoe fit in the parking garage? What's the fee?

$10 for my van at the lot next to the show, i'd say the same for the Tahoe. $7 for a regular vehicle

Alot of faces and great people and more tackle than any of the other shows. Some of the rows had as much as five tackle shops. Hopes it stays that way.

And yes the venison was good Thanks John
