Actually Karl a lot of plugs did get built and last year was the ebst so far as presentations (PNG offsett turning, turning in general, Bigfish airbrush, the demos were constantly going on all day etc) There was more swapping going on than in past years ( Numby alone must have swapped out 20 plus plugs.
I don't remember Karl if you made it or not last year but man it was a good one and there was some real quality work and the categories were just about perfect what with First timers awards and such.
Plus, and I hope this can happen again, the gentleman who had all that Northen white cedar for sale.
The road in is definetly a tricky item if we get a thaw but the club in Carver was perfect though I would move everything up stairs except the demos which should remain downstairs.
The first ones we used to have at Slip's were great with Johnny Habs and Bassmaster (aka Nutbag) but it has gotten even better and there is some real talent showing plus everyone was learning, I mean everyone. There was no rump swabbery, ballot stuffing or chest thumpery, it was all in good fun.
So come on Karl, we missed you the last couple. Join us. You do add to the level of quality and we all like seeing your stuff and the hijinks (I still proudly display my Karl F. BassBabyBottle plug on my wall !)
I can just imagine what Chumbucket will be working on this year.
