Yes, very interesting conversations. Even though the woman next to you had enough and threw in the towel and left.

Did ya'll agree with the awards? I felt that best conifer should have gone to the 150+ year old black pine with the eagle scroll

I only got back home about 2 hours ago and I am still trying to absorb it all. I'll will post further on the subject after I take care of things here and get a little rest.
Will say that I talked with at least 8 b-nutters at the show, lurkers, nubees and seasoned and that was a high point for me.

I thought I found you so asked a guy next to me in line if he was Matt and he said yea. I said, MateO From Bnut? He looked very confused and we sorted it out from there, haha.

That sounds like a fun interaction

It was nice to finally put some faces to names. I enjoyed getting to hang out with you for a little bit.

sorry i missed ya, i was wearing my costume until it got cold then I put a jacket on. I only met pitoon and prenumbra, whom were vending side by side. And ran into King Bnut Saturday after the bar opened. I also ran into another member but I can't recall his name just now maybe it will come to me later.

It is a shame you couldn't hang out longer. I will look you up this spring / summer when I am running around NC.

@Gsteil we missed each other again? I was there on the side where they did the demos. My table was alongside @penumbra and had all the mame/shohin pots laid out on the table in the first room.

Pitoon, we spoke and I had a black hoodie. I met Penumbra, S.maple and the Bnut.
I hope yall had a good show and come back next year!

Yes, I remember now. We talked for a bit.

The show was decent. Better than last year from what I remember. The current plan is to be back next year hopefully the same spot.
