I attended,along with a friend from Lawrenceburg,Tn. both days of this show. The first day was a bit of a let down. The Big Star store is a bit small for something like this. They did have pipes from a half dozen or so independent carvers on display though.
The second day at Uptown's was much better,although there was no tables available to rent for vendors. There was some beautiful pipes,both estate and new on display by Uptowns,Brigham,Steve Monjour and a couple of others but nothing from the carvers that I saw.
They did have tables in front of the store for us to sit and smoke and eat the meal that was catered in. I threw a couple of pipes and some tampers out on one of those tables and managed to sell one pipe and one tamper.
Met some nice folks and ran into a friend from the DGCF. Overall had a good time. My friend and I plan to attend again next year if there is another Nashville show.
