Dixon's 2009
« on: March 05, 2009, 07:46:10 AM »
Just checked out Dixon's web site and seen that the 2009 seminar schedule was posted.  Only 141 days left before the big weekend.  It's never to soon to get excited about this event.

My sentiment exactly. I need to make a special effort to thank Chuck Dixon for keeping the tradition going. He is old enough to "not need this hassle." If you read this thread, Thank-you Chuck!

I'll be there, God willing.  For the fourth time.  A great experience and it is fun to put faces with ALR member names.

Couldn't make it last year but hope to this year!  I think Acer said maybe we'd have an ALR tent  and some tables and gunracks and we could take turns watching and showing off our stuff.

Acer,  I see Taylor is on the list of presenters this year.  I detect a slight grin on your face as you twisted his arm.   ;)  Am I right? ;D

I see on the seminar schedule there's a few typo's.  Like having Jim Chambers at 12:30 AM. I know it's a big show but it hasn't grown so big that it runs past midnight.  But maybe next year!!  ;D

Taylor, I'm looking forward to meeting you. You've answered many of my questions and given good advice. A personal thank you is due.  I live only an hour north of Dixons so if I can help you out in any way while your here, let me know.

Last summer was my first time attending. I have had my motel room booked for a month already.
I am so looking forward to it. I hope we get the same weather we had last summer.
Even have a new American Longrifles "T" shirt for the occasion.
Proper dress code you know.

Wow, Bill.  That's a wonderful offer, and I thank you for it.  I'll be traveling light so I don't anticipate needing extra help past what Acer has offered.  I am really looking forward to the show and to my chance to share some ideas on wire inlay.  I learned a new-to-me valuable lesson just this afternoon - one that I'll continue to employ from now on.  And one I'll pass on at Dixon's this summer.
It's only - 11 degrees C or so out there tonight, but it feels a lot colder.  I'm looking forward too to the heat of PA this summer.  Brian and I had the air conditioner turned down so low that we had snow falling in our room at the Hampton...reminded me of home.
Thanks again Bill.

I plan to be there.  It is only a 2 hour drive for me as long as the border guards along the Delaware are napping (can't trust some of those folks from the socialist republic of new jersey).  I look forward to seeing those I know and meeting those I don't.

Best Regards,

I'll be attending this year- bunking with David R.  He'll be going early and I suspect I'd like to as well - not sure where I'll stay - but suspect something might come up- get a better room at the Inn, maybe.  ;D?  I'm really looking foreward to seeing the whole lot of you blokes.  Really looking forward to seeing Don & John Getz, the Chambers, especially Barbie ;) ;) nudge nudge.

Awwww Man Daryl!  Et tu brute?  Am I the ONLY person who is not going to get to go to Dixon's this year.  I"m going out to look for snow worms to eat!  :(

Not fair.  Not fair at all.  Rats!  Double Rats!   :'(

I don't want to talk about it anymore!

On the other hand - all you lucky characters that can make it - I KNOW you will have a blast!  I envy you all, and there is no doubt you will have a great time.

I know for sure Taylor is coming down heah. We are roomies, with Jesse sleeping on the floor amid all the beer bottles. Daryl is a surprise wild card, which is such totally great news. Brian, I am bummed that you won't be coming. Ah, another year, perhaps?

I am planning on going, oh, fer shur. I sent the money in for the table space, actually, a piece of grass 10 x 10. hahaha. Best grass in the world.

I will be giving a seminar on basics of engraving, and will be open to suggestions what you guys want to know(so I can ask Jerry).

I have also been asked by Jeff Guillaume to start apprenticing in the judging of the rifles. I am at once honored and horrified at this prospect. On one hand I don't feel like I know enough about the process, nor have seen enough originals to make a good judge. I'll give it my best, and also try to understand what the judging process should really mean to the judge AND to the entrant.


I want to bring my rifle stand, which will hold 4 rifles, and some folding chairs, and the 10 x 10 tent. We will once again use the Curran and Pierce sign to light the way to the ALR meeting place. If anyone wants, bring a folding chair, or an extra gun stand, we can have an ALR show and tell.


Jerry? you coming? Man, this is the year. I know you might be busy, but please think about it.

Cody? Whazzup? still thinkin?

Oh, man. Can't wait.

Acer,

WRT the ALR Tent.  If you need/want someone to babysit the "Curran & Pierce" tent, so members can leave stuff there unmolested, my wife has volunteered to sit at the tent.  She'll just sit and crochet or cross stitch all day.  She may want to attend the Lucet Seminar, but otherwise she'll just be hanging out, watching all the nice folks who share the same strange addiction as her husband.

Brian,
I don't know if this is any consolation to you, but I won't be there either.  I have been there every year since 1987.  And I have caused others to go.
Now I am no too broken up about this because I am living my dream.  Like I said, I don't know if this is any consolation.
