Myself and Dave D from One Man and his Brushes |
The Posties Rejects T-shirts went down a storm as well, many a time I saw people staring at the logo, sometimes they spoke to me "Are you the Ray from Don't throw a 1?", to which I'd proudly answer, Yes! But most of the time they'd stare and walk straight off, probably thinking, "Whose that prat in the crap t-shirt!!" I even got recognised by one of the guys on the Gripping Beast stand!!!
Oh the fame!!!!!!

Had I been at Salute, I would have come, too. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteOMG - decent looking pics of me! The world must be coming to and end! Run for the hills - it's your only hope! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice report Ray! It was fantastic to meet so many bloggers in one place :)
Looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to meet people in real life.
A cracking day out - and great to meet up with everyone - not usre i like being that side of the camera!
ReplyDeleteD'oh!
ReplyDeleteNext year I'll try to come a bit earlier, Promised ;)
I think this sort of thing is really worthwhile, it's nice to put faces to names, especially when you've swapped comments with them over some time.
ReplyDeleteSo nobody got a shot of Fran smiling?
Excellent post Ray. Great to be able to put faces to names.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time i wish i could get there some time
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kent
Ok guys, I suppose this retaliation from writing Ray's name wrong in my blog, I'm not "Emilio" but Benito!!
ReplyDeleteOops!! I'll change that straight away!!
DeleteLucky chaps! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf the money wasn't too tight...I'd come too!
T.
Fantastic to put faces to names!
ReplyDeleteNever smiled or talked so much in ages, good time!
ReplyDeleteMaybe any other year... (*sigh*)
ReplyDeleteWish I'd gone now. Oh well next year perhaps. Nice one Ray.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say that "someday I'll go to Salute" but I know that will never be possible, but it is nice at least to see those of you I blog with all together in photos and having a grand time. Thanks for the pics Ray.
ReplyDeleteAt last internet fame is mine. Great post Ray, and would definitely be up for meeting up next year.
ReplyDeleteI ain`t bad, it was a reasoned and well underbuild issue ;)
ReplyDeleteTypical, looking the wrong way again! It was such a great idea and great to meet up. Here's to next year!
ReplyDeleteVery good post, Ray. As others have said, it's nice to put faces to names.
ReplyDeleteGreat folks - wish I could've attended. Maybe someday. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteGood roundup of everyone we met. I was struggling to remember them all myself. It really was great to actually meet all these people we have come to know and admire in cyberspace!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!!
DeleteA very nice meeting. Maybe next year I can be there...
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Geez you guys kill me as you had such a game time. Hopefully I will make it next year and promote the world of PanzerKaput.
ReplyDeleteSounds a good idea!!
DeleteSoooo tempting... I have to try to make it next year!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good outthere!!
Great pics Ray - putting faces to the bloggers makes it all seem more "real". I'm definitely on a brownie point crusade to curry favour with Mrs K to be able to go next year!
ReplyDeleteAnd why not too!!!
DeleteGlad it went well Ray and you all had fun nice one
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome get together!
ReplyDeleteMybe I'll meet you one day. I am sure that my AVATAR is 100% accurate
ReplyDeleteWhere and how did you find the time for all this posing in the midst of all that Wargaming goodness !!?? :-)
ReplyDeleteThis was our break, standing and talking, then straight back to walking round the show again.
Deletelooks like loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures, Ray. It's great to put faces to the blogs I follow and to learn e odd bit, like Secundus from Iron Mitten actually being Simon.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get any more Posties Rejects T shirts made, maybe I could trade you something Canadianish in return - Curt and I are in neighboring provinces, we could start a Canadian chapter!
Cheers mate,
Mike
I could sort that out!
DeleteWanna wisit Salute to shake your hands, friends :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the pics of fellow bloggers Ray and one day I hope to be in one!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Fingers crossed!!!
DeleteIt was great to meet all these folks I've been chatting with on the interwebs - great folk one and all. Christ, but that's a bad pic of me! Its no wonder me mum always nags about my posture. ;p
ReplyDeleteNice post Ray!
-Curt
Mums always know best!!!
DeleteWay too much fun...must be some shenanagins going on.
