Those of us who met up at Andy's booth had the opportunity to shake hands with a legend as far as I'm concerned. Bob Foulkrod was in Andy's booth. I hadn't known it at first as I stood talking with Fran (Mantis Mayer) and Ryan (rybohunter) and I felt eyes on me only to look up and look Bob Foulkrod in the eyes. As we talked I thought to myself, hey that's Bob Foulkrod! As the 3 of us talked, Bob seemed interested in our conversation so I couldn't resist reaching out my hand and introducing myself. We had a chance to talk and what a great guy. As all of these HNI/BH.C guys are, friendly ribbing of course started and obviously, no one is safe. Each person got picked on and when it came to me, it was my supposed "GQ" look and unbuttoned shirt, although any higher and my shirt would have choked me. LMAO. Anyway, it came around to Andy busting on my grey chest hair, next thing I know Bob Foulkrod had a knife in his hard and grabbed me by my chest hair ready to cut it off. He also yanked on it just as this photo was taken below (thanks to Andy). Left to Right, Ben (Ben/PA), Matt (Matt/PA), Frank (Kidd642), Andy (Diesel77), Bob Foulkrod (Bob Foulkrod), Rob/PA, Ryan (rybohunter) and Fran (Mantis Mayer) This was my first meeting with Bob Foulkrod and I must say, he's one hell of a nice guy. My friend Kurt had the opportunity to meet Bob before, as he ate dinner in a restaurant that Kurt manages. When Kurt walked by, he thought hey, Bob Foulkrod and struck up a conversation. Bob invited him over to the show to have his boy get a photo, autograph and product from Bob. One hell of a gesture. I brought that up to Bob and he remember it even though it was last year and how many shows ago for him.
Dude Rob.. I swear.. looking at that photo.. Are you sure you haven't done any late night gigs on Cinemax?:d
LOL! Seriously, though. Looks like a good time was had, and it looks PACKED. Why does it look like Ben is holding, well...you know? I only ask because he pointed it out over on HNI:d
I swear none of you guys must own button up shirts. Black Camo(although you can't tell in the photo) and a button up shirt and a guy is a late night star. I'll take it. And MGH, whenever you stand anywhere around Frank, you have to protect yourself!
OH MAN, There was trouble in the house with that gang :d Thats cool you got hang with Bob. He seems like a straight forward guy on the tube. Looks like a good time, wish i could have been there myself.
Waiting on a shipment, I was planning on representing. And ya, you learn to protect yourself around Frank.
In his defense Justin, he did mention that on the way down! In turn, ban yourself for not getting Ben his goodies!
Rob ....guess why they call them button up shirts ......................... .................................... ........................................ wait for it .............................. Cuz you are supposed to BUTTON THEM UP!!! :d
Dan, I never pictured you as a frilly latte sipping dude. Put some coffee in that cream, ya big nancy! :D
Hmmm....the open creamer container and the spoon in the cup threw me. Allow me to leave with some dignity.
LOL! I noticed what you were refering to after I looked again. That's the camera man's creamer, Johnny. :d You're excused!
