Oh yeah, and an un-named bike painter who resides in San Diego. He is not in the show, he's just going to hang out.

We will be the step children with all of the big-wheeled, big-tire bikes with no lugs. Come by and say hi.

[lugged steel]

i can't go because it conflicts w the l.a. marathon bike tour and i have committed to work at the marathon expo working bike registration; went last year but will miss alberto masi this year. why does this always happen?

[sspielman]

Is this a good place to go to collect Don Ferris ephemera?

[atmo]

do not get in my way; is started this movement
and plan to corner the world. i am working on
the nail clippings stash this spring atmo.

[fiamme red]

went last year but will miss alberto masi this year.I don't think Alberto will be there. Greg Honn will be exhibiting for him. But they should have some interesting bikes on display.

I'll be there-can we meet at Dave's booth at 6 then head out ?

[TMB]

As much as I would love to go and have been trying to plan around it, looks like work is going to trump again.

I need to be independantly wealthy.

...alas, not a chance that I will attend. Bring NAHBS east, and I will attend with great joy.

[DWF]

DWF ephemera?

I've taken a page from Stephen Colbert's book (apologies Stephen) and have started my own kit for those of you who just can't get enough of me. I give you: Don Ferris' Forumula 401.5, but you'd better act fast!

The demand for DWF's Formula 401.5 has been overwhelming, and I have to admit I am pooped. I had to make an unscheduled trip to Chinatown, and considering the amount of money I spent on rhino horn and tiger bone, I’m just about breaking even here. So… sorry, but after the Handmade Show, but I’m cutting you folks off. I’ve decided to make DWF's Formula 401.5 a seasonal product. Like Mallomars.

Who are you and why are you threatening me on a forum? What is up with this?!

Gasman,

I was thinking Saturday night. Does that work ?

Need to discuss this with my better half as I promised her San Fran on Saturday night.

I'll let you know,

Leslie and I plan to be at the hotel Thursday evening, see the show Friday morning and head up to Marin for the driving school at Infineon Raceway Sat. and Sunday.

[fierte_poser]

I'll be there, as I'm visiting my brother in Sunnyvale that weekend. I don't know if I'll make dinner on Saturday or not.

David Kirk... looking forward to meeting you.

To all the other non-exhibitors, I don't know you from Adam, but it would be nice to make acquantainces while walking around. Should we wear Serotta forum name tags?

[stackie]

Me thinks that Sat at 6pm at Dave Kirk's booth will be good. Let's go for that, unless someone has a compelling reason to change.

Sacha, I thought you were a Birki man.

Jon

[DWF]

Anvil Bikeworks will be there with all the lovely framebuilding tidbits we offer. We'll also have a nice couch to rest your weary bones on, plenty of *good* beer and if we can keep it on the downlow, a few bottles of Stranahan's Whiskey for taste testing.

[Ginger]

If you're going to go to Dave Kirk's booth, you better take some Ginger Snaps!

I will not be attending. :( So sad. Sounds like a good party.

[David Kirk]

I love the snaps.........a good pound of snaps go into every frame.

I'm in!

[Tom Kellogg]

We aren't coming this year. I am very conflicted about this. I spent a lot of time on the phone with Don Walker and I do want to support him and what he is doing with the NAHBS. We just could not justify showing in the same part of the country two years running. The costs weren't too bad, but those costs in addition to the time required to get everything ready and out to the west coast along with time lost in the shop was just killer. Last year, I figure that for a three day show, we lost about two and a half weeks of work out of the shop. The show itself was GREAT and I encourage everyone who can go to go. You will be blown away with the skills and artistry on display. With very few exceptions, you will find those amazingly skilled folks to be just the kind of folks that you would want to sit down with some afternoon and talk bikes, coffee and beer with. There isn't a better crowd.

Go, Go, Go!
I don't care why, I don't care how!
Just go, go, go,
Get those tickets, NOW!

We do plan on showing again next year as long as the show moves to a different area of the country. Have lots of fun and give hugs all around for me. :beer:

[pdxmech13]

Do I need ticket now or can I get'em at the door ?

I'll be there on Friday. Looking forward to meeting you Dave. I can only hope that this does not lead to more bike lust.

Advertising here isnt really on the downlow...
dont let the CC Patrol catch you, cause if you dont play by their rules, I cannot help you...

[catulle]

(Obtuse, the man said it's cool. A case of PBR and a date with Scarlett's girlfriend is fine. He just wants to know exactly when to meet you at the NAHBS. He said DF is toast, atmo...)

looks like he hasn't said "no mas" at the table in quite some time
