Location: Greenfield, WI | Knowing this I will work at being especially photogenic all weekend! My best view is from the other end of the fieldhouse!
I hope that there is a power failure, and the back up lighting system doesn't work!
I've got a face perfectly intended and made for radio!

Location: lansing, il | I just drove up to Harper College, from about an hour south of there, set up my booth and drove back home. I probablly spent an extra 20 minutes each way at the most. the expressways are in pretty good shape all things considered with how much snow we got. they seem to be keeping up pretty good with salt and snow removal. |

You might want to think about what you are saying here, and maybe it is time to skip a show.  |

Location: Wausau | Thanks for the updates...makes those not there feel a little more closer to the action.
If someone has some free time and access to quick picture downloading, I would appreciate if a certain picture found its way to the post. In the Rick Lax booth there is a fish mounted on a stone background...I believe it's mine and I have not seen it yet. I caught a glimpse in one of Steve's pictures...looks like its upper left.
I choose Mr. Lax not only because of his great work and reputation, but also as a way to show appreciate for all his donations, like MuskieFirst's Big Fish Contest.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Steve: yes that's the fish - S bend facing down to the left
I can pick my mouth up off the floor now...

Steve's holding a production prototype of our Krave jr. just painted it up with some other custom work. great pattern. We might have some customs completed before the ohio show and in shops march/april.
Show is going well, we had a fun time friday..
Matt snyder made some Musky Armor rods with the "Skull" pattern they look sweet

| Spent about three and half hours Saturday morning and about $350.00. That comes to exactly $100.00 per hour of spending. I got out there before I lost my lunch money too. Good show however, and I agree about the size of the R&H booth, they really made a big splash this year. Also thought the hall was a lot more packed than during the same hours last year. I'm guessing that might mean a few tournaments getting closer to the number of teams the promoters are looking for. The bigger turnout, and long lines to checkout at R&H and Thornes made it look to me like maybe folks are ready to open the wallets again--about time! Marty Forman |
