Maine Guide and I will be at the Giraffe bar!

I will definitely make it for drinks in the afternoon. I am really looking forward to my first SCI Convention! It will be great to meet some of the famous and the infamous characters on this forum. Brian

Got to lookin' at my original post. I said I would be there for the dinner this year. I forgot to tell you how many will be there. Myself and my wife plan on attending, so count us in.

Thanks,
HOOT

CC I would appreciate the badge, where and how to acquire? I will definately be in the vicinity of "Harry"... and a few drinks.

Will be there. Also manning the Zim PH booth for the association stand 2754/2756 if anybody needs to check anything on PH's hunting areas etc.

It is getting to rug cutting time any one know what time this dinner will be?

On CC's first post, he set the time at 8:00 PM. If this has changed I will find out that afternoon at the giraffe bar.

last I heard it was 8 too!

patrkyhntr, When are you getting to Reno?

patrkyhntr, I'll do that!

Can I wear my 24hr campfire hat to the meeting and to dinner??!

Seriously, While I advertise at 24hr, I enjoy this forum as well, I'll drop by the Giraffe bar and say hello.

Widowmaker, you have an email.

Why is this meeting being held in Texas and not New York?

I think you bumped in to the wrong post

The SCI Show is held in Reno Nevada, which is not the easiest place to get to I can tell you, but worth the money to do so.

The other convention is more natural to be hold in Dallas Texas since that is Dallas Safari Club.

Why would it be held in New York? hell I live in New Jersey, would be great for me!

Going to Reno is just fine for me


Christer,

What are we up to fro dinner?

Ron

We are just around 30 for friday nights dinner and I am going to close it tonight and put up directions etc for them already signed up.

Why would any one want to go to New York City for a hunters convention?

Die Ou Jagter

My thoughts exactly! I was just wondering why shootaway thought that.

Sorry for the late noticed, but just got cleared from the office to attend the Reno show this past week - this will be my 5th, and it never gets old.

As a known SCI character / Life Member, I'd love to spend some time meeting and getting to know some of you'all. If there is still space available, please sign me up. I might stop by the lounge as well. Also want to find out if there are an AR's who also hunt Africa with bow and arrow.

I'll be staying at the Sands Regency Thurs-Sun.

Thanks,

Ken

Ken

You are on the list, 8PM at Claim Jumpers, I will post more tomorrow about some things that could be good to know.

I thought holding it in New York might attract more members.Many things to do in the Big Apple.

shootaway

Are attending the Reno convention?

I don't want to start a P*ssing contest, but I go to the convention for it I don't care what else is going on in Reno or where ever it is, same with DSC if I ever get there.

No hissing fit, but I do think that SCI and the NRA for that matter should do business where they are welcome. Hunters and shooters are not welcome in New York.

Hey Chris,

Have a guy named Dante from the bowsite who would also like to join us at Claim Jumpers for the Friday night dinner -- Is there space available?

Thanks,

Ken

Ken

I don't think that will be a probblem but with that we close the list.

About the tags I was in a hurry the last days so didn't get the last ones done but I have about 5o empty ones with the AR logo and space to write the handle. I will post tomorrow how to get them.

Die Ou Jagter,

Agreed! I go for the convention!

Speaking of that, I'm packed and leaving for the airport in about 8 hours! Got to do a few last minute things to get everything settled here at home.

See all of you in Reno!!!!!!

Hey, were's the badges link. I'm trying to print one out.

Maineguide

Maineguide1 and other who like to have a badge, I see that they fell of from my web account when I did some updates. I am sitting in Amsterdam now and cant do anything about it but look me up at Outdoor Visions boot in Reno or Dallas, I will be there everyday between 11-12AM and I have empty printer AR badges.

416 about ready to go. Catching flight out of Pittsburgh 3:25 this afternoon to Atlanta and on Delta fl 1113 to Reno in there 10:00 tonight.

cchunter ----- I will not be making the trip to Reno that I had looked so forward too. My mother-in-law had a heart attack (minor) yesterday and my best buddy (wife) and I are needed here for several days. I may possibly make Dallas, but the chances are not likely. Thanks again for all your trouble in setting up this get together, very sorry I will not be there. Pat

For those attending Friday night's dinner. CCHunter is correct. I took a walk and Claim Jumpers is very close to the convention center.

The convention center is currently a hub of activity. This show is going to be huge.

See you at the Giraffe bar on Friday afternoon.

Pumped and ready to go. My flight lands at 10:40 PM in Reno tonight. I hope to meet some of you this weekend. I can't make the dinner but I am going to try to be at the bar on Friday.

crl

So Finally I am here in Reno, after 24 hours of travelling.

phurley5, I am sorry to hear you cant make it. Take care of the family and I hope I can meet you here another year.

KAthi, Glad to hear that my maps and checks by Google earth was correct

A few more hours at the office, before I start packing. See you guys on the floor tomorrow afternoon!
