Nice save Mike Thomas and all of plugfest crew .. You pulled it together on short notice. Some really scary talented people there . Great to see Jersey boys make the Trek . Great to get rid of Numbys valentine present .. Hope you didn't get pulled over with that thing in your car . Saw alot of fishing buds and Ditch Trolls there .. Everyone way too good to me .. How do you Hush Plugfest ? Have Larry yell "Free Plugs " .. the instant silence was funny as a bastagde .. Good seeing Mac talk plugs again ... Thanks PNG ..I'm might dump my lathe . Yo F-Mob ...

Yeah, but you still kept it. Now I will have to keep one eye peeled over my shoulder when we go fishing.

Seriously, George you outdid yourself. I tried to be strong but when you flashed that giant jointed pikie in front of me my knees buckled.

And special thanks to Chum, you are too kind.

Numby and Chum my plugmaking heros!

And Mike Thomas and family, you guys are the stones!!!!!!

And everyone else who stopped by to chat plug history and VB, I am scarfing down a 1/2 sour as I type this. ( and thanks for the pin)

New here, but got to see a bunch of friends again. Had a ball seeing some of the best doing and showing their stuff. Big thanks for the guys that hooked me up with some swaps and some plugs for my son. Really enjoyed the day and can't wait to do it again. See you Rhody boys in a couple of months.

Swimmer · 02-21-2009, 09:56 PM

When my wife called at 1 p.m. and asked if I didn't mind her going shopping, (seriously she never does), I replied, oh no sweetie, take your time and have a nice afternoon, because "I am going too". Met a few more people I didn't know personally until today.

I actually hoe'd my first plug today. Won a beeeyooteeful pink AH needle. Stunning really.

See y'all at TFCTFN.

BS4Shore · 02-21-2009, 09:47 PM

The food was awesome also, pulled pork, eggplant parm, buffalo wings, kielbasa and beans, and a giant half sour pickle.

mm mm mmmmm

along with a ton of other delicious looking items that i did not dare mix with the batch I had brewing already...

JohnR · 02-21-2009, 09:59 PM

Big thanks to all the worked this and came to PF09. My voice is shot so I'm glad I get to type this instead...

Seriously great time, and once again - you all are blanking nuts, great skills, and truly go the extra mile for your partners in crime.

There are s few of you that did not collect winnings so we'll need to work something else up.

Simply fantastic

And great work with the stuff for the kids. Couple of us were talking and I think we need to get some kits to kids and have a Kids division (painting only

)

Thank you !

You guys put on a great, awesome event. I have been wanting to attend for a few years and really wish I had made the trip earlier. Great to see some folks I haven't in a awhile and meet some new ones. Wish I had more time to spend as I didn't do alot of what I wanted to with so much going on. It was a sensory overload with the plugs. So much incredible stuff being built nowadays. The classic plugs are one thing I do not get to see a bunch of and really enjoyed that part. Got a mess of great stuff in swaps and wish I had more stuff to do a bit more trading. Got to meet two people who have inspired me to build plugs Capesams and Mac. It was a pleasure meeting you both and enjoyed the time we had to talk immensely. Again, had a great time today and will be making this a yearly trip.
