Kansas City Pipe Show

Post by Ocelot55 »

Well from the responses, it appears that there will be a pretty big attendance at the Chicago pipe show. While I wish I could make it, this poor college kid can't afford to go to the windy city this year.

I was however considering attending the Kansas City show later this year. Are any of you guys headed to that one? It's actually feasible to travel from here to there by car, so I figured I'd check it out.

So this show is coming up fast. Anyone planing on attending? I'm about 75% sure i'll be there. It will be my first pipe show and I'm very excited about it.

I won't be there, but I just sent in the "Eskidesian" for the carving contest. Be sure to stop by and point out to all the judges how cool you think mine looks. :lol: ...unless you submitted one of your own. Did you carve for the show by the way?

I wish I could go. Have fun!

Well I don't know if I am going to enter my pipe for the show. I just posted pics in the gallery section. Please critique.

Brian, judging by the positive comments I've seen in response to your "Eskidesian" I don't think you'll need me to put in a good word. :mrgreen:

Not that I can get there from here but I was real curious about the contest and entrants. Here's a link to those who will be competing:

Quite a collection of ne'er do wells (and lots of familiar names). I wish I could be there to see all the entries. Hope someone will take some photos and post them here for us to drool over.

Good luck to each of you!

Actually, if this works like last year they will not allow any photos of the pipes. They don't want any photos out before the article appears in P&T. The first year there were some issues with that, and I think last year they worked pretty hard to keep the wraps on it.

After seeing the roster of pipe makers entering this year it would seem I'm destined to be an also ran, once again. I suspect, as in the last two years, I'll be in good company. The competition just keeps getting stiffer for this contest, which is great! Can't wait to see the pipes!

Wow no pics!? Oh well. Do you have a table, Scott? I can't wait to see all the awesome pipes! I've been scraping together some loot to buy a pipe at the show. I hope I can come to a decision.

Not of the 7 day set, anyway... Not sure about the entries, but I don't think they want pictures taken of any of them either...

You'll see a lot of great pipes at the show--lots to choose from! And yes, I'll have a table. It will be great to see you there!
