Default Chattanooga

I see in numerous posts that the NAPCA show in Chattanooga next week is going to be attended by a fair representation of members from both forums. This is the first time I will be attending the show and I am really looking forward to seeing old and new friends. I think it is going to be a great time. See you there!
Ron

Guys,

Sorry I won't be joing you this time...work is work and always in the way. I will only be 1 State away from TN and will still not be able to break loose...

BTW...that cozy little fire-side lounge in the Chattanoogan Hotel is a place of some serious hard drinking...be careful in there...if you do ice-teas...you will be fine...

Russ, we missed you in Reno this weekend! I would like to go to Chattanooga but on call obligations prevent it.

Tom, I have been telling folks that I didn't think you were going to be there. Well, there goes my sobriety...

Ed, it's been my observation that sobriety is over-rated...

So the show is one week from tomorrow? Is this an open show or do I need to belong to the NAPCA? If it's next week then I may be able to buzz over for the day. Choo-choo town isn't that far.

This Thursday it starts, Friday and Saturday are the big meeting days.

You are supposed to be a NAPCA member, I am sure they would take your application at the door ($50 ?? a year)

Rats. I'm leaving for Dallas in the morning...

Seems like I was away on business during this show last year. Work sucks...

Well guys, have a brew for me and try not to drool on the pretty guns. I'll be thinking of you all while I'm sweating in the Tejas heat!

Non-NAPCA members can also attend...but they are usually "sponsored" by a current Member and signed-up for attendance ahead of time.

If at the door, I still think you need to have a NAPCA-member "sponsor' your membership application...i.e. someone to "vouch" for you...
