Boy sorry to hear that John. I'm trying to remember who this bamboo rod maker is, LOL. I meet so many of them every year, through all the goings on during "Cane Week" at the CFFC&M every year, and atthe shows, and through mutual friends. Man, if there's one thing i can't stand, it's a damn noisy rug rat. Why the hell you think they invented gaffers tape. Well maybe it was just a bad year, and will pick back up again next year. It happens at annual events. Hope you told "Bear" hi for me? mark >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [VFB] Michigan Fly Tying Expo >Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 03:41:21 EST > >last year their were 850 people the filed thru, this year I heard from one >of >the guys that puts the show on that number was 370.
