Charleston Show
« on: January 03, 2013, 11:49:41 PM »
Hello All,

The Charleston Show is this weekend.  I'll be there with a table and will have a 'Bullet and Shell" logo sign on the table.  If you can make the show, please come by and say 'hello'.  I know Davetheplumber and relicrunner will be there along with a few others.  The show is Saturday and Sunday with Charleston being one of the best places around to visit.  Hope to see you there.

Additionally Mike can't make the show so there might be something left for the rest of us.   ;D

Yes, some of us are chained to our desks doing our real jobs and can't screw off all weekend.  Thanks however Carl for sending back this picture of the Plumber at his table selling some rich guy a rare "CS" belt rig.

Hey Mike,
I guess the mean ol' boss has "unchained" you from your desk by now. How is the construction coming on your display shelves inspired by Gary, Nick and my visits? Does that mean you will be charging admission of future visitors to defray the construction costs?  :)  Getting lots of comments on the James bolt now proudly displayed on a "trash picked" wood hexagonal aquarium stand. Hey, I'm not proud. It was cheaper and easier than building something myself...and looks great.  Take care.

Well not sure you'd recognize the place.  Making some progress...you can see the crates that I unpacked still on right.

Still a few more crates to unpack.  I don't think I will unpack them all unless I get a new building for this stuff.

Yea, it is sorta lonely (and embarrassing) having to hang out with a "common" 12 pounder and a Bormann 12 pounder.  :) Hopefully it will be getting some new "neighbors" this Spring.
Looks like you have gotten a lot accomplished, even if you have more to go. It looks good. Hope the photo works out. First attempt at posting one.  (And no, the walls aren's as ugly of blue as the photo makes them look!!)

Nice job on the shelving Mike.  I know you'll really be happy to have it all out on display.  I hope one day I can get in the area and beg an invite to see it.

To get back on topic regarding  the Charleston Show, from my perspective it was pretty good.  I saw LowCountry83, Relic Runner, DiveDigger,DaveThePlumber, TraderSean, and some others.  Was great to see everyone.

The gate was up considerably over last year.  I stopped and talked to Cathy Kent (Mike Kent's wife; they put on the show) and she said the door was great.  It was up about 20% over last year.  So they did their job to get people in the door.  I sold a lot of items so things were selling but I sold nothing of high value.  Of course I had very little of high value to offer.  Once people get in the door I guess the table holder's job is to have good valued relics and they'll sell.

Dalton's next!  Make plans now.

I thought it was a great show as well. I was hoping for more heavy iron but I still came away with a couple nice pieces. It was definitely crowded and everyone seemed to be buying. It was nice to meet you Carl and divedigger. Hope you guys found something you couldn't live without.

I had a great time as well. Met some new people and saw some old friends. I love going to Charleston.
