Chicago Knife Show

Post by ChefKnivesToGo »

This is ambitious. I’ve been thinking about maybe doing an event where we bring guys to Chicago for a weekend and invite you guys to meet them.

Would anyone like to come to this? We could have a meet and greet and then go for drinks and have dinner.

Shiba and Kurosaki and Kato expressed interest in coming and they're really nice guys and fun to hang out with.

I haven’t run this by Sue yet. Hahahahah

Or ........ fly them into Chicago, shuttle them to Madison, do the event at or near your place. We could all check out CKTG, attend a show, have dinner, etc. Probably be a great cost savings for all involved. Either way, I'm most likely in, 2 hours south or 2 hours west for me. LOL

I live here and I've been wondering how rusty my Japanese has gotten so this would be hard to pass up.

It would be very difficult due to the distance but I would absolutely love to go. Maybe time to start being extra nice to my wife.

I have never had a reason to go to Chicago, but I have always wanted an excuse. I would be interested.

I would fly out. My brother and my in-laws live out there so we visit them a few times per year.

The Takefu guys just told me they want to come for a visit this September. Maybe we could do an event around their trip? I’m having dinner with them shortly and I’ll see what they say. Kurosaki and Kato and Shibata are in and I think Makoto and Ikeda want to come. Maybe Nomura too.
