Blade Show West

Post by DonC »

Just got a head's up from Arthas that they're going to try a western version of the Blade Show. Keeping my fingers crossed that it would happen.

Hello!

Looks like a fun show to attend to. Let's see if someone else from Italy comes... ;)

I'm in the south Portland metro area so I'd like to see it come to pass. I can't travel to the east coast shows so I'd love to see another good show out here.

That shouldn't be a problem for you unless you don't drive.

Portland is served by Greyhound and their terminal is closer to the event. :D

Ah, that's great for Fishtail Picklock.

I will need to take at least a couple of planes from Italy, though. Plus the Greyhound bus. :-)

Fishtail I'll swing by and pick you up. But I must warn you- I'll be traveling with several knives from Italy all of which are impractical for use. If that's a deal breaker then I understand.

Arthas:
I think Greyhound has an express that runs from London to New York but you have to bring your own scuba gear. Would probably cut out one of the planes. :D

Sadly, I live on a fixed income. (I am a pensioner). The VA doesn't provide much. I can take the local Shuttle bus, but Greyhound hasn't served our town for years.
