I’m making my hotel reservations today. Since Reno is just 15 hours away (and I’m bringing enough stuff to make a GREAT “junk-on-the-bunk” spread) I’m driving as usual, but getting to Reno isn’t really that expensive if you must fly.
Dallas to Reno: $339
Knoxville to Reno: $440 (OK, that one’s a little spendy)
LA to Reno: $169
Baton Rouge to Reno: $420
Cleveland to Reno: $324
Indianapolis to Reno: $358
Seattle to Reno: $234
Orlando to Reno: $328
Hey, if reader and commenter Phil R. can come all the way from Cambridge Oxford, England to attend, you can come from wherever you live! As Mr. Completely says:
The Gun Blogger Rendezvous is like no other event as it’s all about the gun bloggers themselves. We don’t have a big name celebrity speaker where the attendees sit in the seats and are basically spectators. That’s not to say that there won’t be some really interesting people there, though. Last year Alan Gura was there, and we all got to learn a lot about the legal stuff he’s been up to lately from an insider’s perspective.
The Rendezvous is not a side event for some other much larger happening like the NRA convention. No, at the Rendezvous the attendees themselves are the reason to be there. The discussions in the hospitality rooms go well into the night every night of the Rendezvous.
Sure, during the day we get in plenty of shooting, including rifles and pistols at targets out to 1,000 yards, Steel Challenge against the clock, even with a bit of coaching from Molly Smith, who’s not only a blogger, but is also the Steel Challenge Pre-Teen World Champion! Plans are also underway for some Cowboy Fast Draw practice under the watchful eye of Quick Cal Eilrich. Quick Cal is the “Intergalactic Fast Draw” Champion (Not really, I made that up, but if it DID exist, Cal would win it!) in addition to numerous National and World Championships. I am also looking into some range time at a new indoor lead-free range in Reno that rents guns, including FULL AUTO goodies! Interested? I thought you would be!
So c’mon, make your plans now! I want to meet you, or see you again!
