Have to get there ealrier next year. I need to witness the plug trading that goes on when the doors first open. And next year on the way I'll call in and see whats needed when Squid Kids Dad and I stop at Cirelli's. The two guys I invited were absolutely amazed at all the plugs. One of the guys has an obsessive compulsive need for plugs and was upset that he couldn't buy anything he was drooling over. They will be there early next year and I'm sure we'll see them on S-B.com

Great job to the organizers! My favorite "show" of all - I'm plugged out. Lots of very talented builders and I can appreaciate that because I hated wood shop. I really enjoyed speaking with many of you. Spent about 10 minutes talking needles with Bassmaster which was great. Never really got to share info with him before yesterday. Parked my needle display next to Flap and Numbskull and was able to relive some old days recollections. I take pleasure in discussing "why needles were desingned like they were" as there is a reason for each shape.
The plugs up for awards were very nice - who made the pink bottle plug? It was sweet. And Peter resurrecting the Norris Needle design: incredible job!
I don't "ho" plugs but some of the guys came up to me and gave me their works of art. Photo attached but I can't remember who gave me the second one down? I suck with name retention - we need nametags next year.
On another note:
I took time to read the club display over the food line and learned of how the Mitchell Memorial Club came to be. Very somber when you read a "Dear Mrs. Mitchell letter" from WWII - really put things in perspective for me. Enjoy what you have.
