Thunder HeadI am looking forward to it. I realy dont have anyone local to talk to about Africa. I am definatly going to the show on saturday.
I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same.

We'll be there anyway, so anytime is good both evenings!

David CulpepperI personally I can do either night since I live close by but I think for ones coming from a farther distance Saturday will probably be best.
Good Hunting,

ShonaHi guys
Definitely looking forward seeing all of you there and putting some faces to the names.
It's not going to be an African campfire but I'm sure there will be some interesting stories coming up.

RugSaturday evening would be great but I will try to make either date. Sounds like a good time!
21 December 2010, 16:30

JudgeGI plan to be at the show on Saturday/Sunday (and the Hyatt on Saturday night). Can't make it if dinner is Friday, but I'd like to bring a friend if dinner is Saturday night.
JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

Are the exhibitors having difficulty with travel plans, etc?

I'm getting tired of having long rambling conversations with myself about my upcoming trip to Africa....

ShonaJust to keep everyone updated.
We had a great time last night at Gordon Biersch.
Some people might have had a little bit too much of the good beer.
Just wanted to thank Adam for organizing a great venue for us and it was great meeting some of the guys here.
Pictures will follow.

JudgeGThe show was good in that you could have time to talk to folks without the pressure of several folks waiting in line to speak to the vendors. I finally got to meet some Georgia AR guys who don't go to Dallas. Hopefully we'll do some deer hunting!
I'm sorry I had to cancel my plans to go to the supper. I made the horrible mistake of accepting an invitation to go (gratis) to the Falcon/Green Bay game. I just as well stayed in my room and beat my head against the wall.
Heck, I left in the third quarter and Green Bay had yet punted. I'm not sure where the Falcon defense was, but it wasn't at the game.
It was great to spend some time with Karl Stumpfe (and Kwan) and Shaun (with Martin Pieters) at the show. Great folks are they!

Thanks Johann for the idea of having a gathering. Looking forward to the photos!

Well no finger pointing.
what happens at an AR gathering stays at an AR gathering.
The only negative side was that some of the guys who had a little bit too much to drink left their bill to the rest of us to pay.
Not really sporting of them. But we'll forgive them as they were not really aware of their actions by the time they left.
Looking forward hooking up with every one again in future.

Johan,
I believe Dan and I paid our bill because I made it pay for the last two beers I had not paid for. However, if it was us let me know and I'll send you the cash. It was fun and thanks to everyone and to AdamHunter for hosting. Mike

adamhunterMike,
You and Dan did indeed pay. It was some other Non-AR members that did not.
However, there is still the matter of the $500 "Don't tell Mike" Merkel 470 NE double we need to discuss!

dlroxbyHey guys. My wife and I had a great time at the AR dinner. I was really glad that I was able to teach Dan how to say Namibia. LOL
24 January 2011, 22:06
Alan BunnWell, I tried to hang Mike with my tab, but he wasn't THAT drunk!
I had a good time meeting everyone, and it is nice to now be able to put faces with names.
Thanks to all the African PHs that showed up to support the dinner.
