The Menu is pretty sick, thanks to Amore Italiano on Staten Island for putting all this food together:
3ft hero Grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers
1tray penne Vodka
1tray mozzarella corroza (fried thingys)
1/2 tray buffalo wings
1 tray farfalla and chicken alfredo.
1tray Garlic sticks

THis is the last NERBs gathering of the season,

A couple of the rods I am really lookng forward to seeing on saturday:
this weave whic hwas just completed by Ken Bonneau: [www.stripersonline.com]
the wrap which Sean Endres did: [stripersonline.com]
this grip which Steve Zayas put together: [www.facebook.com]

Ther ewil be so many moe rods there with insane threadwork and Decorative Grips > it's going to be mind boggling.

Hey, I think I'd rather come to the NY gathering.
We are just having hotdogs and sausage sandwiches.
The big class is Bill Eshelman is going to show how to wrap guides with kite string and Elmer's glue.

Have a great time,
Joe Azar

Joe, you guys are going to have a BLAST. This is the first big gatheirng in Ohio, the first of many to come I hope. Bill has worked pretty hard to put all this together, and it's going to be a hit. The food for my gathering - honestly I got sick and tired of 6' hero's, so instead of spending $85 on that, I'm willing to spend $200 and have the variety.

MAke sure oyu guys take pics and post them and save them for next year when you are trying to put another one together. Looking forward to reading the follow ups after Ohio.

yeah but this time you have 27 people coming. lmfao

Any gathering put together with some seriousness is bound to be a success. Billy & the NERBS go all out and plan well and Bill has really worked hard on his event. Just tossing something together is better than nothing at all but when folks really "do the work" as Barta likes to say, one should really try and GO! You won't be dissappointed.

Bill & Billy,
Keep up the good work! I hope to follow your lead sometime soon.
