Re: [VFB] Sow Bug

[Tom Davenport]

Let me give you some advice, Murf,  sit far away from Don if you want anyone to watch you tie!  The first time I tied at Sowbug,  a local tyer sat down next to me and started making Muddlers out of Spun wool that looked like they could swim away!  Turned out he was famous for his ultra realistic flies, and pretty soon there were twenty people crowded around him, completely blocking anyone from seeing me.  The good news was, I had the best seat in the house to watch him tie, so I just put my stuff away and enjoyed the show. I'm sure the same thing will happen when Don starts tying from his arsenal of amazing flies.  If you want to watch him tie, sit next to him.  If you want to have PLENTY of room for others to see your stuff, sit next to me and Larry! I'm bringing a sign that says "I LOVE BEGINNERS" to see if I can attract someone who might actually be impressed by what I tie.  And I'll sit far away from Don (except when I'm not tying, and then I'll be in the crowd watching).

I'd rather be cooking against the VFB crew than tying in a show with the likes of you.  Maybe I'll just tie worms San Juan style and get all the kids around me so you fancy fantasy tyers don't make me look too terrible. Well, I do have some neat toys and surprises to bring if only I can get it all in the travel bags.  Wish I owned a travel rod but always opted for 2 piecers, except for my son's 3 piece which is an 8 weight and not quite what I need.
