I will be tying there both days and presenting on Saturday afternoon. The blind blind fly tying sounds like fun!

I will be there, although I must warn you all - I was having a blind tying competition once at my house, and a very famous tyer got his thumb caught on the hook shank. In pain, he yanked his thumb back, lifting the vise into the air - the flight path of the vise was directly into his noggin, causing a concussion.

Admittedly, this occurred after he had consumed nearly 20 bottles of beer, but it is nonetheless a true story.

Why don't they have it closer to the NYC, For me that's a 90 mile drive. Why
Connecticut ? I'd like to see their show layout, but will settle for the Somerset shows.
