I WILL START THE TRADITIONAL TIMONIUM POST THIS YEAR. :D
JIMMY MANTERIS AND I WILL BOTH BE ATTENDING THE FORUM GATHERING AND SHOW THIS YEAR. I HOPE TO SEE SOME MORE OF YOU-ALL AGAIN THIS YEAR. :)

[Battara]

Well this year I will be at a conference for work, so I won't be able to get there, unfortunately. I would love to come though........ :shrug:

[Lew]

Barring another major snow storm :eek: I will be there. :)

[A.alnakkas]

Oh how much i wish to attend :( Always want to learn more about yemeni weapons

[CharlesS]

I'm looking forward to it! I am so sick of gloomy, rainy/snowy COLD weather...I'm just looking forward to getting out of the house!

[Steve]

From the other side of the world I will also be there to give my talk and put some faces to names. Hopefully I can open up the world of Yemen and southern Arabian jambiyas to our forum memebers.

As always, I'm looking forward to the show and the forum gathering.

Please remember that seminar registration needs to be accomplished by emailing or private messaging your nametag name and dinner plans (versus leaving for auction action at 8 pm) to me (mailto:ljones@vikingsword.com).

Statements of intent to attend placed in this thread do not constitute a registration.

I'm considering making the trip this year (it would be my inaugural trip), and would be staying until the 20th. Anybody interested in sharing the cost of a room? :confused:

PM me if interested... :)

[Spunjer]

anyone setting up a table?

[rickystl]

My first trip to Timonium. Can't wait.

[Emanuel]

I'm almost sure I'll go this year. I'll confirm shortly but I'd like to set up a Flyssa / Algeria / Kabylia table.

[Carl M]

I'll be there! What is the forum gathering?

[Sunmit]

Will be there.

[Lee]

There is still space left for more at the seminar and for dinner. I suppose additional tables for displays could also still be arranged.

It seems people have become so immune to banner ads that several have written to me seeking the details rather than clicking the announcement at the top of this and every forum page (http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/baltimore11.html).

If you plan to come, please remember to send me (ljones@vikingsword.com) your name (and the names of any others whom you are arranging details for) as well as whether you plan to stay for the buffet dinner at 8 pm.

I'll be there! What is the forum gathering?

Hello Guys! I wish I could be there! Please take lots of pictures of the Seminar, and Show!

[Gavin Nugent]

I'm guessing no one had a camera :shrug:

[Nathaniel]

Really? No one??? Old timers too cool I guess? Come on there had to be some first timer's or someone that snapped some shots :p

[Lew]

I was there and saw nobody snapping pics :shrug:

[Emanuel]

Camera battery was dead :shrug:
My cousin snapped some shots of the Arms show and the auction offerings though...not much but it's something...
I'll be better prepared next year.

A few auction pics from my phone

[Nathaniel]

Beautiful! Thanks Emanuel, and Ward for sharing the photos!!! Wishing I was there!!! Such pretty shinny things...it's like being in a candy/ toy shop :D Any more pics, anyone else???


Emanuel, bummer to hear about the camera battery going dead...that sucks...hate when that happens...that is why I always carry a spare, which I highly recommended...then again that's not fool proof....couple weeks ago, pulled out my spare...popped it in...and Ooops...forgot to recharge that one from a time before! :(

[Gavin Nugent]

Thanks guys, great to see some show images.
Ward, IMHO, a lot of the AI stuff looked better on the table with your phone camera images than the internet listings....I guess because of the neutral surroundings rather than the stark white backdrop.... :shrug:
