Pete, I know what you mean about driving. I don't drive anymore due to the problem I am having and my wife is only able to drive real short distances so we pretty much stay at home. I used to do up to ten shows a year but now I might just do one local show. I will not be tying at the FFF Fair this weekend and it is just 25 miles from where I live. Like you, I get these spells and can't really be with a lot of people around, I find it embarrassing to myself. I am just getting older and it is catching up with me. I know travel is hard but staying in this area is real reasonable. Great fishing right from the back door. Nice clean little resort 1/2 mile from my house is 50.00 a night for two people.

To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, October 6, 2016, 4:12 AM I would love to come to the Sowbug, believe me, but funds being what they are, it isn't going to work out for coming from PA to Sowbug this year. I was asking about the Sparse Grey Matter show in NJ because it would be less than 2 hrs drive time and my wife could drive my son and I to and from, with kids in tow (the blasted seizures put a damper on driving myself, and/or on flying as is the case to Mountain Home). Something to think about for the future, though, thee Sowbug I mean.All the best,-Pete On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 9:41 AM, 'Anthony Spezio' via VFB Mail <[email protected]> wrote: The Sowbug show will be celebrating 20 years in 2017. It will be a special show. We would love to have you as a tyer. We expect to have over 140 tyers for the three day show.

To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, October 5, 2016, 4:47 AM I was cruising the net and heard of a fly tying event called the "Sparse Grey Matter Fly Tying Festival" somewhere in New Jersey, USA that is held annually (assuming it is still going on?) and the video I saw was from 2012. Does anyone know, first, is this still something that is going on, and second, where can I find details for the 2017 festival / show? New Jersey isn't too far from where I'm at, here in PA, and I tend to favor the tying-themed, as opposed to fishing-themed, shows. Plus it could be yet another show to add to my growing list of shows to attend. Going to try to make the November Somersett International Fly Tying convention, the other 2017 somersett show, and the Lancaster PA march 2017 show. Yep, it is only the start of fall here, and I'm already itching for the shows. Unfortunately, funds are keeping me from the Sowbug this year, yet again. On my bucket list, one of these years.Thanks for any info on the "Sparse Grey Matter Fly Tying Festival",-Pete -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
