Thread: Only 6 months till the SE GATHERING!!!!!!

As some of you "Old Guys" know the Robert Mitchum movie, Thunder Road was filmed in Ashville, NC.

For those of you who have not seen the movie you can check it out on You Tube and www.imdb.com. It is a cult movie about the white whiskey haulers of the southeast during the 1950's.

I first saw this movie when I was 12 years old and it inspired me to spend thousands of dollars on 1950 Fords and nearly killing myself trying to learn how to pull out of a four wheel skid on a dark mountain dirt road.

I plan to combine my visit to Razorcon with visiting some of the scenes where the movie was made.

Some of the locations were:

Crash scene filmed on road from Wwest Ashville to Brevard NC at a place called Sandy Bottom.

Reams Creek road

Castle Loma Resturant over the Plaza theater.

Merimon Ave.

Hall Street

Old Silver Dollar Cafe

Waterfall scene filmed on road (?) south of Ashville.

Hope some of the local guys from the area can help me locate these places.

Any help would be appreciated.

yeah there have been several movies filmed in the area. like last of the Mohicans and Mr Wonderful. Richie Rich, being there as well. Also don't forget that if any of you hit town early we will be going out for our usual southern breakfast on Friday morning. Biggest cat head biscuits around.

Gosh, I can't wait for this to come. Woo hoo.

This is soooo close now it is making my beard scared!

Can't wait to see everyone this year!

WOO HOO! I missed it last year due to buying a house and moving. I'm only about an hour from Asheville so I plan to be there Saturday (unless I'm at the Law Enforcement Academy or playing a show). If finances allow, I'll be looking to pick up a few hones so I can start using my str8s again. See you all soon.

I am sorry to announce that the se gathering has been cancled unroll further notice. If you have any questions please contact Bruno. Again I regret that this is neccessary Doc

Guys,

Doc had to step out of this for personal reasons that may change. If it doesn't I hate that he won't be doing it as he has done a great job of organizing in the past. A bunch of folks still want this to happen though due to plane tickets and reservations being made and we are in the process of pulling it together. We already have some sponsors and are moving forward contacting folks in the area who want to help!

Thanks for everyone's concern, now stop worrying and start planning for some razors fun!

not wanting to put bad news ontop of other issues, but I'm not going to be able to make it to the meet this year.
This is totally personal, and has nothing to do with any events.
As some of you know, I've been trying to start my own custom metal/jewelry shop in Oklahoma city. It's take quite a bit more cash than origionally antisipated. So unfortunately, it's just not going to be possible for me to travel so far.

However, on a brighter note, I am still working on the scales for the razor that Charlie and I are planning to give as a door prize at the event.

ya'll have fun, I'll be thinking of ya.

Is the meet still happening at the church? Also, is the Friday dinner/meet and greet still on?

Stay tuned for more details!

We are in a holding pattern for a moment as things get figured out.
