Thread: Is there interest in another WNY meet

Taking a well deserved break after all the honing, stropping grinding and buffing. Cheers!

I just wished to add to the pile of gratitude for our hosts, and to the founders of SRP!
A great time was had by all, as previous posts state, and a desire to do it again! There was made mention of possibly a spring, or summer meet.
I had a great time with fellow razor addicts, and enjoyed the collective experience of them all. It was a great environment for low pressure learning. After all, who doesn't learn better than a person with a full belly, a pipe, or fine cigar burning, surrounded by
good people?
So glad I made the trek out there. Thanks to all.

Thanks Ed. The 'Thank you' button isn't working for me at this moment but I'll keep trying.

We actually have had several meets a year and I don;t see any reason to change that unless we add some. We will probably have a meet some time after the holidays but due to the snow we are famous for, it is usually just the locals. There will be a spring, end of summer and fall meet if I have any say in the matter and I am sure Carrie will be all for it also. Hell, as all of you were driving away I told Carrie we should do it again next weekend... then I ran for cover! LOL

Hope we can see everyone again as soon as possible and maybe some new faces!

edit: The 'Thank You' button worked after I made this post.

I would like to extend a huge THANKYOU to Joe and Carrie!!!!! Their hospitality and generosity could never be appreciated more. I felt so at home with you guys. It truly was like being with family not to mention the first home cooked meals for me in months....... Don't know how I could ever repay the kindness, but my door is always open to you.

What a great weekend. Ahhhh......the smokes, the drinks, the Caswell visit, the buffing, the honing, the razor porn (That includes your DE collection Joseph), the hone porn and the opportunity to meet a bunch of our great members. One of the real treats of the get togethers is to be able to shake hands with the people we see here in the forums and get to realize what phenomenal people they are. I always learn more from others than I could ever teach others. To every one of you, thank you for the opportunity to get to meet you and I hope we will see you again soon.

Did I mention the bath soaps, Lilac Shaving Cream and unbelievable Black Raspberry Vanilla Shaving Cream I got from Carrie........

This was just a killer weekend, right down to getting to share a Vodka with gugi.

You folks are truly awesome,

Lynn

But is it porn if its real? Isn't it more burlesque?

Thanks for the kind words Lynn. As far as we are concerned you and everyone else that attended are family for us. We enjoyed having everyone over. The only regret we have is that the house was not big enough to have everyone who was from out of town stay with us. I was great meeting new faces and sharing gear and experiences. Most of all learning from each other. We will try to get out to Ohio for a long weekend after the new year

Thank you, Carrie and Joe, for opening up your home to (an almost) complete stranger, it was truly unexpected. Your family is was very warm and welcoming, I give you my many gratitudes, and hope to return the favor some day.
A special thanks to Colby, for ensuring I was awake at a decent hour. Carrie or Joe, please give him a treat, for me.

It was a great weekend and well worth the 6hr. drive and would do it again in a heart beat. A thank you to everyone for imparting there vast knowledge of straight razor restoration and honing, I hope I can retain it all for when I start start my own projects.

Thanks to Lynn and Don for the great door prizes.

LOL. Colby is very predictable so I'm guessing he gave yo a cold wet nose in the face. LOL You should see how he wakes us up! ROFLMAO.

I had another Lab that liked to roll in stinky stuff. A couple of times, early in the morning there was a skunk in the yard very early in the morning. The oder would kill my scenes of smell, so I let the dog in. Don't ya know it made a bee line to the bed where my ex was sleeping! What a scream! It was priceless! Wish that dog was around today and I could get it to do that every morning!

Amazing hospitality, wonderful community, and a really nice brush!!!
