Re: Chicago Show Report
As did I, though only for a minute at the end of the show. His reputation for stealth and camouflage is deserved, in other words, but he DOES actually exist.baweaverpipes wrote:I met Sas!

UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

Re: Chicago Show Report
Me too! I was surprised that Sas isn't taller, being how big he looks on camera and his name and all. But I was also surprised that Yeti was as tall as he was. He looks so much like a short kid on camera.
It was truly a pleasure to see all of you.

Re: Chicago Show Report
I also met many Members of the forum and can say what a great bunch with a wealth of knowledge They are willing to share. I was trying not to be like the little dog following the big dog saying "what now Butch, huh, huh, huh?" I want to thank Everyone that took the time to look at My pipes and give Me good advice and tips. I have to say Yeti isn't as ancient and hairy as I thought but Sas is much more hairy and ancient than I expected. Norm.

Re: Chicago Show Report
In 'Murrica, we don't care 'bout no Yetis from Himma-laya. Justa buncha snowmen wanderin' around on glayshers is all they is.The Smoking Yeti wrote:.... what about me?!
On the other hand, Sasquatches is the shit. Stealthy woodsmen, like. And wise. Hell, legend is ya get to know one and they'll even drink a beer with ya. That's cool. All you'll ever get hangin' out with a Yeti is frostbite.

Re: Chicago Show Report
I hear Sasquatch met some real American Beaver in Chicago.
Re: Chicago Show Report
That fucking beaver made my show.
Best quote from the show goes to Roger Wallenstein after about 273 Millers and well after midnight, sitting on a concrete block outside the tent and bitching about how hard it is and why aren't there any benches outside: "My hemorrhoids are going to look like cauliflowers in the morning!"

ALL YOUR PIPE ARE BELONG TO US!
Re: Chicago Show Report

Re: Chicago Show Report
Sorry to hear that, Ernie. BTW, that's the worst Chicago Pipe Show report I've ever heard. You're not very good at this.

How's this: "My table was next to Rad's"?
Re: Chicago Show Report
Show was good for me. Much better than last year. Deep dish pizza is better in Chicago than Coeur d Alene. I don't think we even have deep dish out here. Sad.

Re: Chicago Show Report
Andrew had by far the best finish I saw at the show!!
Being my first trip to the Chicago show, I was blown away with everything, words cannot describe the amount of fun. Any of you who haven't gone, are missing out, you really need to go!!

Re: Chicago Show Report
Bruce,
You were there when we found that black bag with the STOA (Todd Johnson) pipe in it on the table. Do you remember what happened to it? I went to bed early, and Ernie is missing a bag!

Re: Chicago Show Report
I saw an empty black bag on the lemon water table in the lobby, on the way out

Re: Chicago Show Report
I heard Andrew dips his pipes in molten glass, dips in cool water, then buffs.

Re: Chicago Show Report
I called ERemarkable and let him know we had all opened the bag and saw just one pipe and a bunch of stuff he should have thrown away, long ago.RadDavis wrote:Bruce,

Ernie said there were two pipes in the bag, but there was just the TJ.
Some pipe makers, really, are just so forgetful.
Maybe next time he will have some id in the bag. Duh!
Even with Ernie being a nincompoop, his pipes were outstanding. He's quite the talent.
