I was really looking forward to meeting Bullfrog Pipes this year. Being from Australia it's just so darn impractical to get my hands on one of his beauties otherwise.
You managed to find the time on your hands to comment on our idle speculation. I'd say your wish has come true.
Your posts and the other chuckleheads chiming in are slinging mud. Get real. Let’s call a spade a spade. When you piss on people and try to tell them it’s raining, do you really expect them to believe you? Disingenuous af
When things get resolved, I’m going to attend the next Chicago show. So miss the fellowship & excitement from prior events. Last show I attended was 2009. The preshow activities were a blast. Brad Pohlman carved pipe for me called The Colonel & bought it before the opening morning. So light for it’s size, gorgeous crisp blast.
This is the shape, but in a black blast

Also Picked up a new handmade Kaywoodie from Bill Furbaugh (owner of KW). It’s a replica of a 98b, dark beautiful blast, amazing deal.

Yes, by all means let’s call a spade a spade. My posts consisted of information and analysis, not speculation. As you’d know if you read the linked article the auction did in fact fail to result in a sale and the clarity the Chicago club seeks. Whether and how that might change in the future is anyone’s guess, although the alternatives are easily inferred analytically. But even beyond facts and analysis there is always room for informed speculation in any intelligent discussion.
For example, mso and others have observed that every day that goes by without an announced venue has the potential to damage the show’s attendance and number of exhibitors; and as mso also pointed out a sale and a close are two different things. Even if there are no “outs” in a real estate deal property doesn’t change hands in a day. Neither of those points is idle speculation, and neither is slinging mud; both are real issues that underscore the risks associated with delay.
What most people are saying is a combination of fact, reasonable analysis, and informed speculation. There’s a phrase for blaming people who offer fact, analysis and informed speculation that you don’t want to hear; it’s called shooting the messenger. That must be a pretty popular pastime where you come from. I’m beginning to think it isn’t really “idle speculation” you’d censor if you had the power. I suspect it’s any commentary from people interested in the largest show in the pipe world beyond “awesome” “way to go” and “I know you guys will do it”. In short, cheerleading, not discussion.
What the devil are you on about? Just say exactly what the problem is and what the solution is and then we'll know. It's not hard.
May the butthurt be with you!

My $0.02, nothing wrong with either analysis or best wishes. Goal is to get the show up & running. Possible options or solutions needs to be the focus.
Surpassed only by the assholiness. You and rest on this thread can blow me. If you don’t like me telling you that, you’ll need to tell me in person as I’ll leave this thread to you and the rest of the cackling dumbshits. Whatever the opposite of “nothing personal” is, it applies to this statement.
In advance of anyone else that wants to respond to me, you may blow me as well.
Perhaps a few deep cleansing breaths guys! Everyone play nice or people will start to think this is the 'other' forum that was rumored to exist years ago in a galaxy far, far away!
Hey Ron,
I’ll be sure to give you a smooch in person at the show. See you there. Post a pic so I know who I’m looking for. I’ve got plenty up, check the “what are you smoking “thread. Come find me.
best regards,
-Brian
PS: Yanks suck.
And also making observations and comments in a discussion thread isn’t being an asshole. You, my friend, are the one stepping into this realm. Welcome to the jungle.
Perfect example in full chuckle:

To find @ron123 ill look for the guy in the American top hat with a long hard rod going into his hole.
I thought we relegated butt slapping to sports, therefore it would be ok in pipe smoking competition! An only there would it be acceptable! ?May the butthurt be with you!
