2009 INGO Family Picnic @ ECPR 6/27/09: AARs

What a GREAT day!

My family and I arrived about 11:45am and began setting up the food and registration tables. Steve (sjstill) gave me and RogerB a quick run-down of the day and where we could set up. Roger and I moved some things around while other INGOers began to arrive.

After signing in and being issued super-secret INGO nametags (thanks SirRealism!), folks began pulling out camping chairs and delicious food. Some quickly headed for the range. Soon we heard "ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta" and someone remarked "Britton must already be here. . ."

At one point I was able to break away from the table and run a mag through Britton's full-auto .22 SBR. The .22 is so easy to control, even in full-auto.

The best part of the day, for me, was getting to meet 46 fellow INGOers. They were really the nicest group of people, just like they are here on the board . Several brought their wives/girlfriends, who were real troopers in the 90+ degree heat.

I was also honored to spend some time with jimbo-indy and listen to him talk about his son 'epsylum' (Eric Rader), whom we all know passed last year due to a sudden heart issue. In his son's honor, Jim raffled off 3 large framed Glock posters, with proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. Kelly (Kr_Treefrog2) was selected to draw the winner, and our very own Fenway won!

Here is the list of attendees. If you didn't sign up at the registration table and I'm missing your name, PM me and I'll be sure to add it here:

I've made sure to add all the above names to my Contacts/Friends list, which brings my total number of INGOers I've met to 129!

RogerB - thanks a million for the original idea and the planning of this great event. I did notice the nametags said "1st Annual", so it looks like we'll HAVE to do another one. . . .

SirRealism - speaking of nametags, they looked GREAT! People really liked them, and now they've got a sovenir to take home with them. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

sjstill - you were quietly getting things done today, but you didn't go unnoticed. Thank you for opening up your facilities to a group made largely of strangers (before today ). You run a good tight show and I appreciate the work you and your ROs do.

Britton - you were responsible for the ear-to-ear grins on everyone's faces today! Thanks for making the long drive down to bring us some full-auto goodness. Everyone certainly appreciated the free industry swag, as well as the 21st Century t-shirts. My wife and I had a nice time chatting with Robin this afternoon as well. Perhaps next time we'll have a chance to meet your kids.

Fenway - LOOK WHAT YOU STARTED!!

Some pictures from today

Here are some pictures from the 2009 Family Picnic today. It felt like I was taking tons of pictures, but only ended up with about 40.

The day was great, thanks to everyone who helped to plan it

Some Highlights for me:
-Full-auto .22 m16
-Awesome name-tags
-Free T-shirts from 21st century arms
-The girls on the glock posters
-Meeting some INGO'ers and their family/friends


Anyways, here are the pics that I have

Flipped a coin between the two AAR threads, this one won.

It was a great time for sure, even with the temps a little on the warm side.

Evan, can you get a head count from the registration table?

Here's a few pics taken with the crappy Blackberry. I know there were some video's being taken out there today, looking forward to seeing those too!


Thanks again for all those involved in planning and those in attendance.

Special Thanks goes out to Steve and all his RO's for all they did today!

Was great meeting everyone!

MAN! I'm soooo sorry I had to miss it! So much happened all at once this weekend and I lost the kids for the day to some serious BS and couldn't bring them. Figured since I couldn't bring my family I'd just go take some time to myself and get stuff right in my head. Ended up at Cataract Falls and Lieber SP.

Again I'm really sorry I missed it. It looks like you all had a great time! How did the Flag look? Did our soldier brethren feel as honored as we do? How did that Kriss shoot? Looks like Fen had fun with it!!! I HATE that I missed it, but if I couldn't bring my kids I wasn't going. I did put about 250-300 miles on my hoopty ride though!

Missed seeing you there, but sometimes you just gotta drive. Been there plenty of times. Very therapeutic.
