Yeah, it hasn't started yet, but the meet and greets have, so the pictures will start coming. Had a nice time meeting with HED4JC, Longshot, Del, DrChop, Brent, Preludachris (where'd you go, I turned around and you vanished), Garth and Quinton.

Just a few random shots of HQ that we've seen before, but it's a start.

I'm intrigued to hear how this event goes. Keep us updated!

I agreeth

Nice to finally meet you today Dann! As well as everyone else. Had a great time and hope Jim decides to host again next year.

I didn't take very many pics, but here a panorama i took.

Great meeting up with you too. Finally was face to face with a lot of members, so that was very cool. It was a great vibe, the whole day. Great panorama too. I'm going to post a few unprocessed photos, and the rest will have to wait until I'm not on a laptop from the Kennedy administration.

Had an awesome day today and thanks for the metal vault dann! Meeting fellow members in the flesh was the best part as well as getting the "truth" from jim himself. Still intrigued about that $92, 000 "god watch" and the upcoming "new product" hans was talking about!

Yes, the 'new products'...

Nice stuff. Keep it coming. Would also love to read write ups of the attendees' experience. As I was was saying to a Couple others, documenting your experience will be invaluable for future collectors. Would make great reading material.

Finally recognized as the true Elite. :)

What an amazing day!! Such hospitality from Jim and all the people at RED! Also awesome to see some familiar faces and finally meet many others!

So who swapped what with what?

I swapped a bunch of mid-2000's catalogs for a promise of old SKU's for the database.

Then and eyeshade for a Persimmon Five 1.0, and a Wire Metal vault for a baseball. Got a few freebies here and there too.

Nothing crazy just a couple things I had laying around :-)

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone brought all their display cases with them????????????????????? my god even if they lived next door to pack and then unpack all that must have taken forever. I am truely impressed!

thanks for the photos Dann...simply amazing stuff

Mmmm. Seven of us took 4 hours to unpack and set that up. Not including the other legs of the journey

Trullly Epic Stuff! I would have loved to be there! But I'm still happy for all who did make it. That would have been an Oakley Collectors' paradise.

seven people 4 hours. still shocked it was that quick! well done guys.

so who is that collector and how far did all that display stuff come from?

Well said. More than just having lots stuff, the desire to break down, move and re-setup that entire display twice over just to give collectors a chance to see his collection shows truly dedication to the hobby. Much to be respected there. Meanwhile, I can't even be bothered to set up and take pictures of my collection. LOL!
