Free Booze and Food! January 10th, 2026

I really, honestly regret not being there after reading all of this. Please don't take these kinds of things for granted. It's things like this and the memories made that keep you warm in the stand on the coldest days. I'll be over here looking at flights from Knoxville if you need me.
 
Well, now. I finally made it home earlier this evening. Those of you that know, know this has been a hell of a trip for me.
I would like to point out that I am one of the causes (there were a couple of others involved) that overstayed our time at the party! And @mdwest you are partly to blame for introducing two of us!! : )
I sincerely apologize for keeping you up so late!!
Those that haven't been to this event, @mdwest and his lovely bride host a phenomenal party! The first year I went (last year) I thought the food was catered in. Wrong! His lovely bride does all of this! You can see the pics posted above. They both do a more thana a wonderful job on this party and I can't imagine the stress it brings to pull this off in your own house.
I think you would do just fine to have it at the other venue next year with no issues.........then you wouldn't have drunks like us keeping you up past your bedtime!!hahahaha..
I'll continue to support in whatever way I can, even if that means keeping you up late at night...hahahaha...Love ya brother!!! and Thank you and R!!!
 
Not complaining just curious-- I ordered the candles for conservation weeks ago and haven't received them. Does anyone know how long shipping should take? mdwest if you see this please dm me and I'll call you. Thanks
 
No worries at all…

Typically candles ship within a few days… the artwork takes a bit longer (2-3 weeks) since the artist has to sign and number each print and certificate of authenticity, then ship from South Africa, then the package gets inspected and re-shipped to its final destination..

I’ll send you a DM…
 
Man, I really need to make this trip. Since it usually falls around my b-day, maybe my wife will give me a kitchen pass. :ROFLMAO: I also would love to meet you @mdwest, and some of the other AH members. (y)

Me too!
 
Next year will be even bigger than this past year I believe… we’re going to move the event to a venue that can support 100+… and for anyone traveling from out of town, we’re working a deal where a local hotel will offer TTHA and party attendees significantly discounted rates… we’re working on some official sponsors as well.. this should offset the cost of the new venue and should give us the ability to up the game even further on the door prizes and give aways..

Would love for you (@PARA45 )and @BJH65 to make it!
 
I went last year and had a great time hanging out with folks before the show. I’m planning to swing by again, so it’s worth stopping in if you’re close.
I’ve been leaning on asian restaurants perth cbd whenever I need a spot that’s good for both casual hangs and work lunches, and Miss Mi has been a solid pick. Their express lunch is quick but still feels like a treat, and the cocktails hit that sweet spot between creative and easy to sip. The share plates make it fun if you’re going with a group.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
