How many plugs are you bringing to the Plugfest

I just made the decision that I will be coming to the plugfest. I it will be nice to meet you guys on the plugbuilding forum. Just a question, some of you seem really really busy building right now. How many different plugs are you bringing with you to the fest? Do most guys swap with other people? Please let me know so i'm prepared! Thanks all!

I'll follow those questions with one more. I posted this before but:

Is it poor form to bring in commercial pluggage and attempt to trade/ho builders?

There are a few guys here who make stuff that I admire and more importantly would like to fish. Hoping I could tempt them with some stuff I have.

I'm hoping too have 20 or so total for swapping probably in 2 or 3 body styles. Then some other one off/prototype stuff for showing/discussing.

Dan I'll bring your plug to Plugfest as opposed to mailing it then.

Not as many as previous years but I'll have a few. Just not as much time as last year, well as much time just poor use of my time. Luds cross your fingers I may even have a couple for you since I promised them 2 years ago.

Mr K. just be advised that the pro hoers will treat you like fresh meat and take advantage of you so be forewarned . They can smell a deal a mile away.

I plan on attending but i cant make plugs yet. Is there any selling allowed on the side? Or is my money not good there?

Isn't the real question you have "How many am I gonna walk out with?"

Trying the reverse-psychology thing, Mr. Krinkle? I like it.

I've sold a few here and there over the years. Just not my intention when i go but I have done it if the person is real persuasive. I usually first ask why though

I'm going to miss it this year... Plum Island event the same day, and I offered up a bed to Zeno, who is one of the speakers, so I will drive north that day. A week later is TFCTFN, so will be southbound the 28th.

Too bad having two quality events the same day....

it will be my first time, not sure I will bring any.
If I do they will have to come with a return policy

Maybe, I will make some cookie cutters.
