Sounds fantastic mate. Did you take any pics? :pok:
Yes I do but with my home internet down (hopefully fixed by today or tomorrow) it is more of a chore to put pics up so I just haven't gotten around to it yet :whistle: :D

:dd: 2200 miles away from me. I hope Mr Tim Leatherman will be closer to me at some point. A signed LM tool(s) would be the ultimate.
I really hope that if nothing prevents me from going that I don't get overly excited and run off and leave my LM at home :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :D Guess I would either buy a new one to get signed or he could sign my Vic :whistle: :rofl:

Put them in the car now :tu:. I don't know which I have him sign if I could only have him sign one :think:. I thought the Crunch would be cool to be signed, I wonder how many of those he signed? I have also thought my JPST would be cool. Hmm :think: maybe my Surge.

Looks like a fantastic day mate. :cheers: I'd love to get the chance to meet Dave Canterbury.
It was great but I went all school girl and didn't know what to say and my wife and little girl made fun of me the rest of the day for it :facepalm: :D Seemed like a really nice and genuine guy though :tu:

Well maybe you'll have something to say to Tim Leatherman when you get back there. Dave Canterbury seems to be very down to earth from what I can tell. What was he carrying? Could you see anything on his belt?

His flannel shirt was covering his belt and anything he would have been carrying and of course I didn't think to ask :facepalm: am sure he was carrying some sort of sharp though as all his crew seemed to be :like: I think his dad was with them as well as I heard him saying something about his dad being there and they looked a lot alike :tu: He had a neck knife with a stag handle on him :cheers: So you know Dave had a knife as well, of course everyone walking around had 1 or 3 knives on them :D

Interesting! I would like to go next year if possible, I've just recently moved to TN and learning my immediate area still but I knew SMKW was around here somewhere. What facebook page were you following that clued you in? just SMKW's page?
Yes just there regular FB page :cheers: It is always sometime in October though :tu: Always on Fri, Sat and Sun as well :cheers: If not for the individual people aboves FB pages though I don't know if they ever tell who is going to be there other than their vendor representatives though :tu: I only knew they were going a day or so before :ahhh

I am planning on being there and i look forward to seeing any of the MTO members who might be there.
Be cool to see someone from the forum IRL :tu: I am planning on having my MTO shirt on so I will be easier to spot :cheers: I should be there close to opening time hopefully :D
I sure hope that the vendor was right about the date as I haven't seen it anywhere advertised yet :facepalm: Guess I will find out when I get there unless they only announce it shortly before that he will be there :shrug:

I was looking for you poncho but I did not get there as early as I had hoped.
I was trying to keep an eye put for you but I was all over store after I met Tim :tu: I got there an hour after the store opened and stayed for a couple hours :cheers: DI'd you get to talk with Tim any Tsquare? I have a thread about meeting him over in the LM section :tu: Been neat to have met up so maybe some other time :like:

I was able to spend a few minutes talking to him and I had him sign my late fathers PST. It has the most sentimental value of any tool I have.
That is awesome that you got a very sentimental PST signed :tu: He is very nice to talk with as well :cheers:
