thank you! good to be back. though any transition is never quite easy.

The meet-up was awesome. got to meet ANOMIE, a member here on keypicking, he was doing some great picking, and he opened my American Barrel Lock like it was cake. He brough alont a few other locks for us to play with. A third member i will refer to as Wrench, until he decides to join our site and pick is own name for anonymity, was a newbie to the hobby, and came with a great open mind, and practiced no a master lock with a few of my picks, with a few different methods.

i had in tow with me my sparrows pinning mat, medeco mat, sparrow pick gun, tensors, Falle Pick Set, Peterson Set, 2 handcuffs...S&W and Peerless, and a mogul, a few american locks, some mul-t-locks, and some other stuff. it was a fun meet up, and Wrench offered to pay for my dinner and Anomie's beer. hes a nice guy and would be a great contributor to the sport im sure. both of these guys were new to the meet up for Locksport International. none of the members of L.I. were present, they all went to defcon in vegas. so it will be neat to meet up with them when they return at the next group meeting.

Hey ahab,

Was glad to meet you, wasn't really expecting to run into anyone from the board (hadn't seen your post - was half afraid no one would show up because the meetup talked about people being gone for defcon). Was a ton of fun, and thanks for letting me get a crack at the locks you brought.

Sorry I didn't hear about it. Long drive for me, but I would have enjoyed it. There is no Houston group to speak of.

Hah, just saw this. Yeah the core membership of the club is generally absent during major cons (DEFCON, LockCon come to mind). Hopefully we have enough momentum with other members to keep the meetings going, but sometimes it's hard to find each other without the usual huge pile of practice locks I lug to the meetings :)
