Folks Of Interest HAMBers you would enjoy meeting in person.

Yes, that was a historic meeting for me. Danny and Brenda are as nice as they can be. They sure made us feel as though we were old friends. Thanks to the HAMB we had that visit. I'm the short one!

 

I'd like to meet every damn one of you Hooligan's!!!

 

If you want to meet the other HAMBers, you need to step up and organize it. Like ol’ Bad Bob used to do. He had an EZ Up with the HAMB logo printed on it. He went early and we’d all get together there. There was a BBQ, ice chests full of beverages. I would whip up a pot of chili, bring spoons and bowls. Man, I hung with Bob K, Denise and many of the great folks who were around in those days. It was a blast! The old time HAMBers are thinned out. I don’t see Bad Bob around anymore. So, someone should step up and do it. The HAMB is a wonderful resource. I reconnected with Bluto, who I hadn’t seen since the late sixties. I’ve made lifetime friends on here.

 

PS, always ask permission to use the HAMB logo. It’s the right thing to do…

 

Chili, Bob's been here regularly these days...

 

Thanks, Stogy. Maybe he’ll bust that ol’ EZ Up out again. HAMB Camp was really fun.

 

There are folks I wish I could have met. Old Beet, Don_Wow, to name a couple.
I would still hope to meet the Pork n Beaner. And Roothawg.

 

Paging @Bad Bob...Party Time...how's things going with the Coupe...things are finally starting to stabilize and hopefully it continues knock on wood...your being mentioned as a great organizer of Hamb getogethers...would you consider that again? I doubt I'd be there but would hoist a beer in cheers to ya'll in Spirit...

 

Which is where I met you!

 

I’ve met several H.A.M.B.s over the years and I always enjoy putting a face to a name. Truly great people.

 

Thanks, buddy....(English for Mate), lol

 

I'm still hanging around, Phil....

 

You can catch many of us at Speedweek. I should be found around the Salt Circus Roadster

 

I’m overdue to go back to Bonneville. It IS The Holy Land…. Arthritis has taken away my ability to be useful, but I’ll end up happy to spectate.

 

Who else would you like to meet in person?

 

My list of folks I would like to meet in person is growing all the time. I honestly can’t think of anyone I wouldn’t want to meet in person as far as the regulars here. Well, except that one guy...you know.

 

I know you are talkin' bout either ME, or Lloyd. @Lloyd's paint & glass

 

It can't be you so it must be Lloyd. We all know you're all sweetness and light

 

LOL...nope neither of you guys. Heck, still considering whether to try to make it to Lloyd's shindig to meet several folks.

 

I will be the handsome devil in the black HAMB hat. Look forward to seeing you there

 

every HAMB person I have met is no longer active here. hope it wasn't something I said.

 

Germ
Ryan
Moriarity
Squirrel
Lloyd's
and frankly too many more to list. I've met quite few over the years, but really sometimes I feel like I already know a bucha you fuckers! That's a good thing, don't get yer knickers in a twist. I used to like those meet n greet shits we did a while back too but then it gets hard to connect all the who-what-when-car(s) stuff and it feels rude to look it up. I can promise y'all this, I'm the same dick in person as I am in these pages. I'm sure some can testify

 

They all died.

 

All of you , every last one of ya hooligans!

except that ONE GUY ! You know who you are


I’m
Hoping to be @Lloyd's paint & glass ’ shin dug in the fall .

hope you guys can tolerate an unsupervised Vandenplas for a few days !!!!

 

I've got some 8"X10" glossy's that I'll be signing and handing out lmao!

 

Tape one to the back of the outhouse door for us

 

You got it!

 

Life size poster would be better

 

I thought maybe I had already posted on this thread, but I've discovered that I have not.

I'm one of those introverts Tman talked about. Until I get to know people, its pretty hard to get too many words out of me, unless its about a subject I know well. It doesn't help that I have a hard time putting names with faces. I do better associating a car to a person then a name to a person. I'm one of those guys hanging around not saying much. Direct questions get direct answers.

That said, I've met many HAMBers at those early HAMB drags meet & greets, one year Denise drug me around and introduced me to a lot of people. Many new names and faces I couldn't keep straight in my head. Guys having a different HAMB handle and a different name didn't help either. I probably didn't leave a very good impression on many of those I met. I've had that experience with Bob K too.

I've also attended several of the WI and the ST Louis Hot Rod 100s and have met many HAMB members at those too. I was one of those guys that "was there" and just sort of hung around and didn't say much. I probably didn't leave a very good impression with most people at any of those events either. A social butterfly I am not.

I am fortunate enough to live in an area where many HAMB members live, so I've met a lot of them, some many times. The more I see them, the more open I become. Getting the right name with the right face is still sometimes a challenge until I get to know them well.

I'm going to be at the Lloydfest in Oct with my lovely bride and expect to meet a bunch more HAMB members. I'll be the guy hanging around not saying much. Forgive me when I don't remember either your HAMB handle, or your name, or both. Gene
