The Game Fair link says nothing about gun vendors. Oh, well. That does it for me.

Who cares about what vendors will be there? We can go anyway and kick back beforehand with Niles and Kim at Sand Point and wash down our free hors d'euvres with Ponsard Orange Label Veuvre Cliquot, to which you are so accustomed!!

Kevin, is that a pilsner urquell or a belgian wheat? Sounds like it would be good with some slim jims and wheat thins.

An overpriced real Champagne. Good with salted peanuts in the shell, or Five Guys french fries. I remember early Vintage Cup at Sandanona. Our group furnished a full smorgasbord of food and unlimited mediocre wines in proper glassware for the full four days for anyone who would care to participate. Our prices, "free", competed well with the seven dollar beer at the vendors' tents.

No, no - you have to get out of the routine "coal tipple" lunchroom menu these back country outfits subject you to. Beers and ales are fine with these scrapple-like snacks and cholesterol-laden high-sodium killers. I'm talking about the sublime pure combination of essential bounties of land and sea; sparkling wine and oysters on the half shell. And don't forget a fine imported cigar afterwards!
