Show of Shows July 2021

Bill_in_VA · 06-25-2021, 11:50 AM

Anyone going this year? The forum has been unusually quiet about it this year. I’m going but only for a Thursday/Friday turn-around.

George Anderson · 06-25-2021, 12:39 PM

I'll be there.

I can't make it this year, but would love to see everyone again...

Neil Young · 06-25-2021, 07:06 PM

I will be there.

I'm really going to miss you guys. I am still concerned about the the confinement of a flight and large close crowds, so I am going to err on the side of caution this year in hopes of remaining healthy and joining you next year. It will be a long wait. The SOS is one of the high points of my year and I always look forward to it. Take care folks and hoist a cool one for me.

I'll be there, but will be taking precautions. I've promised Terri (my wife) that I won't be socializing with the fair sex this year and i've modified a whole stack of N95 surgical masks with a 3/16" drill bit so that I can drink Margaritas through a straw.
See ya'll in St. Louisville, Norm

I booked my ticket yesterday. Ron, that is sad news, as I really look forward to your company. John

That is a nice luger Bill. If it had any more proofing it would probably be considered 50% coverage!!!! One tattooed piece. JD

Thanks, John. It was great to see you and the rest of the, however brief it was. I’ll try to get some photos up soon.
