Well, I managed to miss meeting everyone Saturday. I got to the venue REALLY early Friday so I missed the parking lot drama.
Seriously, if you every get a chance to try bourbon barrel ale, go for it. I spent my time at the Beer Bash talking with some of my fellow bloggers and then had Paul Erhardt talk my ear off for awhile.
Here's a cool pic: Michael, Bill Wilson, Larry Vickers and Col. Boyd of SoF magazine. There's a lot of American gun history in this photo.
Alf's generosity amazes me. Thank you so much, man, I owe you at least a couple.
This is my first NRA AM in seven years, and after having been to SHOT a number of times, I can unequivocally state that unless you're running around making deals, you should go to the Annual Meeting instead of SHOT. Yes, there is more cool guy gear at SHOT and the scope of the show floor is easily double that of the NRA, but the NRA is better for meeting people and having a good time.
Next year, Hotlanta!
