As Mr B said, the Indy 1500 gun show was packed. I don’t think we’ve ever been there with the line going around the corner like that. I picked up a few things that I caught my fancy–a new Gun Toten Mamas purse from Hiding Hilda. Even if I don’t carry in the bag, the one I got is a good organizer bag and it gives me a carry option. Extended some credit to a young friend who came with us so she could get a bullet ring there too–she’ll hand me $5/week for 7 weeks to pay me back, and I will hold her to it.
Giving kudos to Hiding Hilda’s husband–he went out and walked the line of folks waiting to get in, handing out cards to the women in the group and giving their location in the building. I probably would have walked past them otherwise once I got in.
Saw Brad of Brad’s Knives–he was selling like crazy. Picked up a Hogue Elishewitz from him since the house has eaten one of my Benchmade mini-barrages as well as my first gen Emissary (pretty sure we have gremlins). I’ll have to change the pocket clip around for tip-up carry, but at least it can be done on this one.
Saw Tam for a few minutes. Sounds like from the comment she left over at Mr Bs that she had a good day. Think she was just enjoying watching the world go by as much as selling.
Michael Williamson was also there–had an interesting collection of stuff from WWII as well as some of his books. Mr B bought Freehold for another friend that made the trip with us. Michael promised some more books now that he has time to write because he’s been banned from Facebook… again. I lost track at around banning number 12, but he says he’s over 30 bannings at this point. Not seeing that being banned from Facebook is necessarily a negative thing–knowing your enemies is always a good thing.
Had lunch at Claddagh Pub before hitting the road for home. All in all, a nice day!
