And I'm debating to return with my legendary t-shirt ("beep you, you beep beep") once again.
After all those years ... :lol:

Cheerio!

My goals for the show:

1) get my Hillbilly fix for the year from the likes of Butch and Rod and Thad

2) get my Brit fix for the year with the likes of Chris (and Paul, who isn't a true Brit but will do the job)

3) get my Crazy German fix in for the year with the likes of Mr Wallenstein

3) Get Nick Miller from QB to wear a fanny pack and vest

4) Absorb some masterful pipe making skillz by standing near you guys and breathing the same air

6) Sell a pipe or two

This list is in no way exhaustive, but gets the general idea across

Looking forward to seeing you all

That was added because of Walle wearing that shirt a few years ago? :lol:

Especially in that beautiful, genuine leather NASCAR jacket that goes so well over the black T-shirt with "Fuck You, You Fucking Fuck" on the front of it. :P
