Wow - it's gonna be a packed house. Been years since we've had this manner instructors in one place here in Texas.

Will there be some one to sew patches on our vest jackets? There was some one in Michigan at their IBC. Just wanted to know if we should bring our patches and jackets or not.

Thank you


Little Buddy

Weezer

No, we won't have anyone present to sew patches or embroider hats/shirts.    We don't have anyone local who can do that and even if we did, there wouldn't be room to set up an embroidery/sewing space like there was in Michigan. 

I could superglue them for you, though... ;D

Would love to attend. If there are any openings that come up please let me know. I will be there at a moments notice. I am an orange hat from the Fredericksburg shoot. As you know we lost our range and I would like to get active again. If I can get that Red Hat I have found a range in Kerrville that I can start up a shoot at. Miss this Organization.

I just found out we may have people signed up for this who have never attended an Appleseed. We also have a few Orange hats that want so sign up and its sold out.
Tim Beatty

NJrefugee

Tim -- I am fairly certain that this comment "we may have people signed up for this who have never attended an Appleseed" is 100% false.  Do you have a list of attendees?  If so, which of them has not been to an AS event? 

To the best of my knowledge, everybody coming to the Instructor Boot Camp is (as the name might suggest) an Instructor or Instructor in Training.  There are some new Orange hats that you or others may not know, but there is not a participant that I am aware of who is not at least an Orange Hat who has shot a 210 or better at an AS event.

If additional Orange Hats want to come, please provide their names and Ghostring or Weezer will get in touch with them and try to accommodate.  Or, they can feel free to contact Ghostring or Weezer directly.

TimBeatty

I know of 1 person that told me he signed up. Thats why I just wanted someone to look at the list.
Tim Beatty

Weezer

I have the entire list.    Each person on it either wears an Appleseed hat or will very soon.   There are no participants who have never attended an Appleseed.   

More tickets have been opened up tonight!  ^:)^  We had to hold off until we knew for sure that we had enough space to seat people - this was not just based on sleeping arrangements.   (By the way, there was a waitlist enacted but we had nobody on it.)   The good news is that those who need a ticket can now get one.   

If these tickets sell out and you still don't have one, PLEASE put yourself on the waitlist and contact either Ghostring or me.   If you talk to someone who wants a ticket but didn't get one, direct them to do the same.   O0

Anybody serious about helping in 2017 we'll get you in.

If it gets too crowded you can share a bunk with NJ, SNAITF, or Gunner.

Any red hat or above that needs a move to a hotel to accommodate orange hats should contact me. I am more than willing to make whatever allowances we need to make sure the orange hats who need to attend are accommodated.

Yup - I hear that. Myself - I think I'm going to find somewhere and pitch tent so I don't have to hear over 30 instructors snoring.  **)

Actually - I claim dibs on the office I always sleep in at the range.  ;D

Weezer, the funny Canadians will need an invite. Is it possible for you to do one for us? Montreal Shooter, Redcoat72, Rickster and .50calgrl.

You should have all our names, addresses and emails but if not I can coordinate and send to you.

Thanks,

Hey Kelly,

Stupid question:  Do you need the LOI if you're not bringing rifles?   Or is this something all our Canadian friends will need, regardless,  in order to join us?     Let me know and we'll get it done.   O0

Also, um, would a side of moose fit in the back seat?   How about just a drumstick?    ;D

Man - bring me a bottle of whatever you two are drinking.

And by the way - I bet you could get a big ol' moose backstrap in a cooler to bring to Texas.

We do not need LOI if we are not bringing firearms but if we do it makes it easier, especially if there is a last minute decision to. I know Redcoat 72 volunteered to bring a few (10/22, ACR, etc) and I am able to as well. It also makes it easier at the border when they ask what we are doing (even without guns).

And you people have no idea how big a moose is. :P

Looking forward to seeing you all. We will make sure to bring some things at are definitely Canadian.
