Columbus NASPC Show

[hawk60ce]

Not depressd and out of the way. Trust me, much more depressed and out of the way areas. The hotel just isnt surrounded by resteraunts/bars. You would have to drive a couple minutes for the big selection. That hotel seems to be a pretty common place for conventions

This is going to be bitchin

I sent out my check today to reserve a table. Time to thin out the herd.

 

[dochudson]

enjoy.. I know the fountain pen guys had their show there last fall and and even with the swat security they had walking around multiple items came up missing. it's fine during the day but anyone staying there will be bored to tears.

 

[hawk60ce]

I agree, not much in that area. But far from depressed. Go a little farther south on the outer belt and you'll see depressed. Irregardlessly ( :rofl i should be there

 

[briarbird]

Can't wait to meet you fine folks that are going to the show. Come by and say hello!

 

[dochudson]

not depressed as in the inner city areas but depressed as in a huge office complex of 1/2 empty office buildings and several of the better restaurants out on Franz road are gone. If you like Chinese some of the best is south on Franz in a small strip center on the east side of the road. Windchines it's back in the corner of the L. You could turn right on Tuttle again heading south and find all the usual franchise places plus a decent mall. I'm sure you will want to see the field of concrete corn it a famous landmark.

 

[hawk60ce]

I'll agree with you about the office buildings. The field,of corn is rather interesting too

Is it going to obvius that you are briarbird? Or do i need to ask every vendor lol

 

[bigvan]

"Does anyone Know who is doing the tobaccos for the show this year and what blends?"
Not sure what you're asking. C&D will be there, H&H was there last year, Sutliffe has been giving out free samples, McCranie's... If you're asking about the NASPC special edition blends, they're usually done by C&D.
Does that answer your question?

Hawk, the table and sign that has my logo should hopefully be a dead give away Hopefully we can all have a PM member smoke together!

 

[hawk60ce]

Wheres our official "Hey I'm a PM.com member" T-shirts. Or maybe a secret handshake or something! I probably saw you all last year and just didn't know it.

Wheres our official "Hey I'm a PM.com member" T-shirts. Or maybe a secret handshake or something! I probably saw you all last year and just didn't know it.

What happens is this:
- Kevin leaves a red flag on his balcony turned a specific direction towards the east, and this is a signal to us to appear in a dark parking garage in a clandestine location at 2 am.

- At that time, we are met by a stranger driving a white van with the windows blacked out. We are blindfolded, put into the van, taken to another clandestine location

- When we show up, we are led into a large house wearing masks and cloaks, and we give the password "Fidelio" and then there is this huge circle of naked women and some weird organ music.

- If someone is there who gives the wrong password, he must be unmasked and is asked to leave and publicly ridiculed

I reserved a table to try and sell some estates and I think I got a GREAT position. Right next to Joe Nelson of Old Nellie, back to back with Wayne Teipen and Thomas James, down the aisle from Bill Shalosky and Russ Cook!
Stop by. Look for the coconut monkey!
