Anyone from the "Forums" going to attend the CORPS pipe show in Richmond, VA weekend of Oct. 12?

I'll be setting up a sign on a table back in the food area for a forum meet & greet at 3 PM. I hope attending members can drop by to say hello.
I'm driving down and back on Saturday, if anyone wants a ride, give me a shout. I'm coming from the Hagerstown MD area, down I-81>17>95, through Winchester. Leaving MD around 6 AM, leaving the show around 6 PM.
I'm adding "Richmond Show 2013" to the title so folks can find it easier. And, I moved it to the "Events" section.
I hope to see all members there!

Will be to my first CORPS, dragged by Morleyites. That new CORPS blend of Russ's will make a lot of people happy. He tried it out on us at The Wooden Match last week and it was delicious, with interestingly unique tones.

Well, it was a great show. I put some pictures and descriptions up in the album below. I was able to meet forum members from the BoB, PipesMagazine, PipeSmokersForums and the SmokersForums. Brian Levine, Lestrout, etc.

This year, there were many pipes/makers/vendors who I had hoped to meet.
Member Lestrout looked to be winning the Slow Smoking Contest, I hope to hear that he did (I had to leave).
I didn't buy any pipes, but did score a good deal on some MM965 and a nice six pipe rack for my cabinet.
The CORPS guys sure know how to put on a fine show.
