He offered me an invitation to the Blogger Weekend with Todd Jarrett at Blackwater.
I said "Yes, please. I would like that ever so much."
I was terribly confused. I feel like Charlie--all the golden tickets had already been found, hadn't they? This isn't really even a gun blog, technically, and I wasn't even on the ballot. What the hell?
I had forgotten that they also drew one lucky voter's name.
But that guy didn't want to take off work and travel from Illinois, so they drew again . . . . and the next guy in line was . . . . me.
I'm going to train at Blackwater. I'm going to learn from Todd Jarrett. I'm going to meet Tamara and David Hardy and Robb Allen in person. If all this sounds a little manic, that's because that's how I feel right now.
Hot Damn! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news.
ReplyDeleteI live in the area and we've been working on setting up a get-together or two while you guys are in town...there has also been some discussion about hotels. Send me an e-mail address and I'll forward you the threads.

Congrats. I'm very happy it was another blogger that won.
ReplyDeleteGood on ya! Go have fun.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope you have a great time.
ReplyDeleteSebastian . . . I don't think they even know I have a blog. But that's OK. No, really, I do this for internal pride or some such horseshit.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteHave fun and give us a full report on what you learn.
Joe
That's great to see, Don--way to go!
ReplyDeleteI hate you. A lot.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, though, congratulations ;).
Effin' ay!
ReplyDeleteI am so stoked that I'll finally get to meet you!
Whee!
Wow, I'd totally give up a few days pay for that oppurtunity. His loss your gain! Congratulations
ReplyDeleteMe too, Tam. My son says "Yeah, but you could sneak me in your suitcase . . . ."
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteDon, I'm so very, very tickled to hear this news. I only wish I could go with y'all.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy.
Wicked!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the winner is someone I'm familiar with!
Congrats. Can't wait to meet you! (You too Sailorcurt)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to meeting you.
Don,
ReplyDeleteI'm the other one helping coordinate a get-together here in Hampton Roads with Sailorcurt. I also extended an offer out to the people coming to make use of my sofa or spare room on Thursday and Sunday nights if anyone needed to save money.
You can email me at vtme_grad98 at yahoo if need some more info about that.
Thanks! I'm looking at selling off a Glock 30 to finance the trip--I hadn't budgeted for it. Any help is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteMy wife was surprised that I would sell the gun, but I figure I've got two defensive .45's and very little real skill. If I could trade that for one defensive .45 and a lot more skill, that's a great deal. I couldn't normally do this for the price of a used Glock.
Mucho Congratuloonies!! We're all happy for ya!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It will be a pleasure to meet you!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to wear the Jayne Cobb hat right?
ReplyDeletephotos please.
Mr Fixit
Yes, certainly I'll be wearing my knit wool cap with the toasty ear flaps in North Cackalacky. In August.
ReplyDeleteWhat could go wrong?
No, seriously, I kid, but I'm buying those UnderArmour t-shirts that are supposed to dry fast. White ones.
Don't sell the G30, Don.
