RFC: Ohio Valley meetup for Fall/Winter 2011

[IronHammer]

I have posted a thread in the relatively new "Gatherings and Get-Togethers" forum and I thought I would post a link to it hoping to get some feedback from everybody.

Well, I guess I didn't dig deep enough. I found razormeeting.com (http://razormeeting.com) just now, which seems to having their 8th annual meeting in Cincinnati this fall. I guess I won't be helping organize anything anytime soon.

So, has anybody been to this event? What was it like? Your impressions?

If you haven't been, do you plan to? I know I will be!

I was there last year. It was a small gathering, but fun, with lots of cool stuff. Tom Willard from shaveworld.org was there with an impressive collection of stroppers and sharpeners the likes of which I had never seen.
I ended up purchasing some stuff on the cheap from vendors there.

It was sponsored in part by Schick Wilkinson Sword, and we each got a complimentary bag of goodies

I want to attend this year as well, but I will not know for sure until I know my schedule.

The trip there and back yielded some finds in antique stores along the way. I think these were mostly in Indiana.

Ohhh, nelly. That's only 20 minutes from my house! Just put it on my calendar...

Hey, I got my Veteran tag! Thanks, Phil! (like you don't have enough crap to do besides handing out tags)

Yeah, I am pretty stoked about it. My wife and I are going to plan a three or four day getaway from the kids, hit some antique stores on the way and just have a great time. I look forward to meeting you guys!
