wish i could have gone, but the financially sensible side of me advised me not to attend LOL.

spending way too much money lately.

[Dragonfly]

Well, I don't mind being "booth mom" but can we work on finding polo shirts that are a bit more form fitting, please...SO we can be hot "booth moms"...

And a big THANK YOU to all of the guys who helped me out with the youngest booth workers attending...It was great to work with all of you.

Put me down for a tentative on Sunday; if you think I can be of use? My work is on call thus I cannot know for sure until its closer to the date. Sorry.

Nah, I think Calguns babydoll tees are the way to go.

[kf6tac]

I can't commit right now since there's a decent possibility that I'll be out-of-state for work that weekend, but if that falls through, I'll pitch in on Sunday.

[Trendkill]

I can help Sunday......let me know.

Would I have to dress goofy though..??

[thedrickel]

Could we get an extra table, and let people place items for sale there as donations, with the proceeds (or part of) going to the CGF?

[B Strong]

CWS had their "Booth Magnets," Calguns should as well.

There's booth magnets, and then there's booth magnets. Or should I say, superconducting electromagnets.

Yes, do you have a style or shirt with the info or model number on the tag?

Or a reference I can use?

I may have something that has come up, I am working out the details so it will hopefully not interfere with this weekend.

I am fresh out of cash right now for a shirt.. I mean really... I have $20 in my bank account until I get paid this week. So I will be wearing my black CGN shirt unless there is some objections.

Any word on who is bringing what, do you want me to bring any guns/equipment?

[wildhawker]

bump for the next show!

A 2nd for this question. Esp in regards to bringing guns or something like that, what items are we looking to have there?

[Mstrty]

Still looking for help? If so what kind of help are you guys needing.

At Cow Palace, there was significant interest in registered AWs, bullet-button OLL and 'featureless' OLL.

There was a LOT of 'You can really own that?' stuff.

[leitung]

Is it possible for someone to cover my spot this weekend from 11am to 4pm?

I have some stupid stuff I have to go take care of for work, I can try to put it off but the boss wants it done asap..

Sweet, that helps.. Our client is threating to cancel our account if we don't provide a full 8hrs of service this weekend. Which really ticks me off.. Becuause I get to save everyone's elses rear

I think I am down for 11am to 3pm on Sunday, if you could take that.

If someone could maybe cover 11am-4pm on Sat that would save my butt right now. I promise I am in on the next show.. It's just become a bad deal all around.

PM Lateralus for me and let him know my position and that you want my Sunday..

No problem. I hope everything works out for you this weekend.

[Can'thavenuthingood]

Okay I am heading out the door now to meet Lateralus with the Polo's for the Volunteers.

Going to meet in Modesto, don't know where yet but somewhere on the 99.

He never goes south and I seldom go North so this ought to be interesting.

I'll be in wife's car, an Azera by Hyundai, white w/chrome wheels.

Also the http://gunsr4.us/html/stickers_etc_0.html on drivers window.

[762cavalier]

Hey Vick does that mean the shirt I ordered will be with Lateralus or am I still looking for it in the mail?

[Can'thavenuthingood]

Lateralus has it and 4 others.

We met at the Flying J on JackTone Rd. & 99, managed to get the cars stopped before hand-off got too exciting

Trucker lost his pup trailer and dumped a load of walnuts on the 99 in Modesto and that made for slow traffic.

He has the shirts and the box of goodies ought to have been delivered to his place by now. He said he received the shipment of booth materials from Brandon already so you guys ought to be all set.

I tossed in logo stickers, bumper stickers and some Constitution booklets.

Have fun at the show,

Vick

Forgot to add;
Reason some polo's are late is due to a large influx of orders for polo's. Prior to the Cow Palace show I had 38 in stock and had to rush order from a new supplier I found. A good shirt but sight unseen, same with the embroidery work, someone new there also.
I'm real pleased with both the shirt and embroidery. They weren't ready for the Thursday UPS shipment so I decided to drive them up to you my ownself.

You guys please let me know how they wear and feel.

Vick

[tvfreakarms]

See you guys there on sunday hopefully.

[leitung]

I really hope everything works out this weekend, put me down for the next Cal Expo show, but it's just a bad time for me financially and work wise.. Life sucks sometimes ya know..

I can't even make the show to look around. I got to work 10-6pm, then get off and go to my other job for 4 hours..

[Bobula]

I just accquired a c&r 870, I'll bring it sunday


I spoke to Laterulus (sp?) Today. Serious props for the dedication Jason and Vic!

I gave your polo to Lateralus to hand off to you for the next show. No point in waiting to wear it.

You can even wear it to work as they are not restricted to gun shows or event booths

Vick

[JayDeeSacramento]

About 11am it got really hot in that room. I feel sorry for you guys that are still there.

The booth is in a room?

No A/C or is it broke?

Thanks vick,

I will totally be in for the next show, I just got off and I am beat.. I still have my next job to work here in an hour..
Being an armed security guard, I don't think wearing it to work would be a great idea..
err..

Well that's not right, we gotta change that

There'll come a time where being a Calgunner will warrant preferential treatment by employers.

AAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHH Blew a hole in a freeze plug in my engine. Is there anybody in the Elk Grove area heading to the show on Sunday morning. If so could you pick up a hitch hiker (ME)

[Sidewinder+]

[762cavalier]

I live right by Cosumnes River College. Bruceville and Calvine.

[Arteel]

I should be able to pick you up. Pm me your number.

[762cavalier]

Dude You Rock!!!!
PM inbound

[sierratangofoxtrotunion]

There was a rumor of the A/C being dead in building C, where the CGN booth was. It felt fine to me, as there's no AC in my truck; just being indoors in the shade felt great.

Vic, the shirts look great. I got a Large, as you had said in a PM, it does seem a bit big. No problem. Hey, maybe it'll shrink when I wash it. I also did indeed see that Lateralus had shirts for Bobula and 762Cav.

Had a good time spending the afternoon with Lateralus, he's a good dude.

[tman]

I know I'm only listed as tentative, but I thought I'd let you guys know that I won't be able to make it tomorrow. Looks like you got it covered, but my apologies regardless.

Glad you like the shirts, though I doubt it will shrink as that is one of the primary items I look for when making these purchases. Everything has to hold its original fit or its no good to me, or you for that matter.

I have wear tested a couple of shirts that were unacceptable and I had to shop some more. Initial wear was great but it soon lost its life or it went small on me after a couple washes.

Did your buddy come along with you to the show? I did'nt have his size or I'd have left one with Lateralus for him.

Any comments from the public or rather future Calgunners about the T-shirts or literature?
Anything need to be addressed?
Any good ideas?

Vick
