Title: Shot Show
Post by: Teresa Heilevang on January 15, 2009, 06:58:25 PM
I was going to put this as a blog in that section.. but thought I would save that for my gun stuff tomorrow.
Shot Show this year is HUGE. Totally mind boggling at the size of it. To try to cover all the cool stuff that they have will be an impossible challenge, but we will do our best to get you some good stuff.
The videos today was a heck of a good start.     Shot Show Day 1
 (http://www.outdoorchannel.com/SHOTShow.aspx?refid=IDSSdrtv)

 Marshal has been running around ( as everyone is) with an agenda that is near to impossible to complete..
But we just keep trying.  ;D
 He finished putting up Michael's podcast last night ( this morning at 3 a.m.) and fell into bed at about 3:45..and we had a wake up call at 5:45 a.m.

If Marshal is going at a speed of  150 mph.. You should try to keep up with his counter part. Michael is passing him going at 300 mph. No matching that man when it comes to something big like this. It is just crazy...
But .. that is Shot.  :D

Thinking about going out to eat... but after turning around just a minute ago ( when I heard snoring) think maybe calling down for Pizza delivery might be the best thing to do tonight. We still have work to do later on.. so this little nap.. Pizza and hopefully bedtime before the sun comes up is the agenda for Marshal tonight.

Got lots of pictures and information today, but Marshal has the laptop about 98% of the time putting up the video's. My stuff will have to wait until I get home, so I will have my own computer to work from. BUT................................. ;) I will hurriedly put these  2 up.

This is our own Lisa ( Squibby) harassing 'the boss' while he is so diligently trying to concentrate on the film crew and what they have to do next.  ;D

And this one is of the 2 M's... Literally had to yell "STOP and smile for 2 seconds".. which they did.. I snapped the pic and they both blew out of there on their own missions. Dang it is hard for a girl to to her job get some pictures.. LOL

Glad to see Marshall let his boots stop smoking.

Great to see Squibby working hard.  Look forward to all the reviews and "gun stuff". Hopefully we'll be able to get it before BHO and his minions tax it, ban it, or require a NICS check to get it.

Thanks Marshal'ette. Hope the Florida weather ( and some of us )  brings you all back soon.

MB looks like he's thinking"OK, I'll smile, but why is she hollering at me now?"
Give Squibby our best wishes, we miss her in the Chat room.

Just got back home from SHOT and boy do my feet hurt.  It was awesome!  Met up with Marshall and M'ette at the Outdoor Channel booth and had a great time.  Lots of photos so I'm sure M'ette will be hard at work brewing up something compromising or politically incorrect with me in it soon on Photo Shop.  Michael was swamped with autograph hounds for over an hour but I was able to spend a minute with him.  There really is too much new stuff to comment on.  The new Glock grip makes it feel like a completely different gun, Walther's new .380 is cool, and, and...like I said too much to comment on.   Its quite and experience.  I have about 20 pounds (literally) of catalogs, fliers and brochures to go through.  If you ever get a chance to go. GO! You won't regret it...your feet might.

Post by: CurrieS103 on January 19, 2009, 05:37:14 PM
Yes indeed.  She's the one who was able to get me a minute with MB in the middle of his "Hollywood" time with the fans.  Thanks Squibby!

Thanks M'ette for the pix!  Though, I don't look like I'm working too hard, at least for the moment. 

Please let me know where I should send my resume    ;D

As I am editing pictures.. I came across this one.
 While the film crew was doing a bit of stuff with Michael for Personal Defense.. Marshal was on the side lines being snap happy with the camera..

Amen, I could have used one of those Segways by the third day. Aside from seeing you guys, I got a chance to spend some time with Dean Caputo. Nice guy. The only downsides to the trip were my rental car, a PT (POS) Cruiser and the flight back into Dulles Sunday. The front of the a/c was populated with drunken Obots, the rear with LE and mil types that apparently were returning from the show. It made for a somewhat amusing if awkward couple of hours. I suspect the air marshal was somewhat less entertained. Good times.

I went looking for you guys at the show, but couldn't find you.  :'(

I guess it's ok because I forgot the cheese.  (For the duck calls.)

I did get to see and hold the Tactical Solutions rifle though!  ;D

I still would've rather met the three M's in person instead.  Next time.

 :-[  Umm...  Actually I lost your number when that phone died on me.   :'(  I also know how busy you were at the show and I would've been a little bit intimidated to interrupt your busy schedule for little ol' me.  (It's a result of interupting Leon Mandel during the Detroit Grand Prix to ask about a job.   :o  He was so annoyed the secutrity officer cowared.)

Somethin'  tells me I should have been takin' this picture  of Scott Currie and Walt Graham with a wax bullet packed Glock 17,
 instead of a stinkin' camera.  :-\

But I guess I can't shoot a guy for thinkin'.....................  ;D

Nice meeting you folks too. I'm always shocked at how the camera invariably adds 10 pounds and makes my hair look gray... Must be the lighting in the hall. I didn't notice Mike wearing that lock around his neck; I assume that situation was resolved.
