Wow, those are awesome! I can’t wait to get mine!

Very cool.

It’s weird that there is a “vintage” Jersey Death Sauce label. Jersey Death came out last year. Maybe that was an original design for it? Also, there are 6 bottles not 5!

An extra bottle doesn’t hurt my feelings I don’t know about you though. They look great I cannot wait to get my as well!!!

I guess I should actually read the post Nick typed:

“Oh, and each set contains a signed Sweet Death from Blair as well (not a vintage label). Just a gift from one of the world’s biggest chileheads.
”

OH YEAH.. THANK YOU BLAIR

These look awesome. Now just to sit and wait for the parcelforce man! I haven’t got a sweet death so that will fit in nicely Thanks Blair!

The waiting game is always the worst part, I hope to get ours soon. We also ordered some other stuff with it- should be a nice big box!!

i got the gardners 1/99 i almost wet myself when i saw it! i got my shipment yesterday so you should all be getting yours soon

Nice MikeG, that is a number that still to this day eludes me.
Keeper for life!!!

Yeah me too. I haven’t scooped up a 1/whatever yet.

The lowest number I have of anything is a 7/999 Le Million (which I paid $49 for….lol).

VERY COOL. It makes me look at our labels and wonder if one day we’ll ever release them as ‘vintage’ labels. lol.

yea thats my first number one of anything, for me personally im not interested as much in the number, i just like having one. The closest i had b4 this was my #32 caldera. What i like about how this set came was each bottle had different numbers. so one person wouldnt have all the #1’s 2’s etc

Yeah MikeG, there are gonna be 50 happy people, because single digit and 99 are the ones most desire to some extent. And seeing as there are 45 single digit and 5 99’s half approximately will get something that much more special.

Correction….and my appologies.
There WILL be 99 very VERY happy people.
Just that some will have that extra jolt to see something like that in their collection!

I dunno but if they do I will make a spread sheet and shoot it off to Nick every couple of days if he wants to do that

I just had our label designer guy leave with the new labels for our grocery store. Anyone wants our old labels, there’re only a few left and selling them off would keep Michael from having to wash the bottles.

I think I’m gonna be sick! I had to cancel my order. Congrats to those that received theirs. I got close to getting in on this, third times a charm (I missed the ‘93 death sauces flat out), that’s what I’m going to keep telling myself anyway.

I know how you feel. I’ve had to miss out on quite a few things lately, including the ‘93 Death. Good things come to those who wait my friend.

Without a doubt- keep the faith and your eyes peeled, the next big release is just around the corner- they have been coming at us pretty quick lately.

Bad thing was, I was in, had to cancel at the very last minute. ‘Puter went down, been using a loaner. Got the new one going today though, man this thing is fast! Compared to my old dinosaur I was using anyway.

Thanks guys, I’ll get the next one(s). But man those bottles are cool! I’ve been staying away from the blog today just to keep from seeing them! Caught a glimpse of them this morning just before leaving to work, been down all day. I thought I felt bad when I called to cancel the order, but seeing them in the pics is just ….. Maybe I can just print the pics and put them on the shelf? The one that got away!

Hmmmmm, Interesting. Check the link out.

eBay Link

Nick Lindauer on 5/5/2006 at 10:15 am said:

I’d just like to say that even though a bunch of eBay auctions are now linking to the HSB - that is not an endorsement from the HSB to those auctions, they are just linking on their own - pmac started it and a bunch of folks are jumping on the bandwagon. I’m fine with the link as it directs folks that may not otherwise find the HSB here, but please don’t think that because an auction links to the HSB that we vouch for the auction or endorse it.

Good point Nick, That’s amazing- some of us have not received ours yet and some folks are selling theirs off already. No time to sleep around here, better be fast or you’ll be last.

Yeah but thats crazy. No one in their right nond would jump on on that auction, people wanna have a chance for a good price, it should start low and if anything have a reserve, that way there is a second chance offer possibility :). (just tips for the one listing it) because there most likely will be several if not more up for sale, just like b99 n59, they are just as “rare” so to speak, and others will be offering up a couple bottles for those that dont wanna drop too much money and still share the collection.

P.S. I must say though to the person listing, good luck all the power to you. I hope it sells for you, especially based on the reason, sounds like you wanna go to the zest fest maybe

Did it give you that extra special feeling i was talking about?! :):):)

The worst part is, I probably will not see mine for a couple weeks
As they have an item of mine and they will be shipping it out with the bottles to save on shipping.
It’s killing me!!! But at the same time

will do when i get home from work! however i think my numbers are EXACTLY the same as above except for on different bottles, i could be delerious, but those numbers look so familiar. …. or it could have just been a long week

Don’t hate me folks but I have a new member to my number 1 club. It looks like for the most part that the numbers are spaced out 11 apart. Thakswet seems to be the only exception so far.

thanks eman :):):)

well that just leaves the chipotle #1 remaining, so that must be the one I got
ha ha ha … yeah right, good luck with that, etc etc
…

If your looking for something #1 watch on ebay sunday vary rare. Maybe even a #3 maybe #5 all Blair’s. and it’s not from the vintage set.

Just wondering, I know this is off topic but does anyone know much about the Blair’s japanese sauces i.e. I know he isn’t allowed to sell them in the US but can he sell them, to say, the UK?

I would thing if you e-mailed him and requested a signed set he would probably be able to accomodate you.
It is not for consumption so would be sold as a collector thing.
I would call Karin and ask her to hook you up

Blair has requested (he is looking for you to see if there are any in house) that you e-mail Karin on Monday for them to follow up on this item for you.
Mark it urgent, it most likely will take several days for them to get back to you.

Hello All, I wanted to say that since 1989 I have produced many “Unique” “Reserve Type” Bottles but never before have I received so many messages from my Fellow Chiliheads of their Joy and Pleasure with the Vintage Collections. To you I Simply want to say THANK YOU for making what I do so Amazing. Hours and Hours of time Plus 17 years of history went into the sets and it is with my greatest pleasure I have a Chance to share them with you…..Feel Alive Your ChiliPal Blair

I will be on the Blog for the next hour and will answer any questions I can

…aaaa..vintage sets?….you mean we were not susposed to open them?

Blair, you’re awesome by all means!!!

can you tell us anything new about the new bottle you’ll be releasing in June?

BLAIR on 5/5/2006 at 8:36 pm said:

I will be on the Blog for the next hour and will answer any questions I can

What do I have to do to be as cool you!!!

Feel Free… open um up and Enjoy

What do you say to the people who claim only a 15Mil top can be reached?

(only being a foxnews type here..)

I do have a question!!!!!

What is significance of the planet and the star in the skulls eye and do you have a name for him? like Guedo or something

…it was a joke, i still have them sitting here in front of me and don’t want to put them into “THE CABINET” yet. Still admiring them.

The New Reserve Coming in June and open for orders this month will be the last Reserve In my Current Bottle (Not Including 2am and 3am) The amount will be from 300 to 500 Bottles. All Future Reserves Including Halloween 2006 will be in a New Bottle. I am currently working on a custom Glass Mold for ALL Reserves in the Future

Thats the bomb Blair, read my email i sent you a few days ago

The Planet and Stars is Just more about “Feel Alive” I NEVER wanted to Skull to look very Evil

I had to twist all the shrink wraps slightly to the side so i could see the whole lable and the skull was not blocking them.

when’s the OCC bike coming?

My 16 Million Reserve is Exactly That. 16 Million . I am not aware of 15 mill?

Can I get a personal interview at your manufacturing plant anytime?

Would Love an OCC Bike….Gotta work on it….I think it would be a great show. Maybe we could bring in some Bloggers for input….I will try to Reach out to them this coming week

When are you going to get some t-shirts in?? I have ordered twice and both times they have been out. I want to be sporting some Blair ware

So how did you get the ” Feel Alive” slogan but your trademark is a skull. Personaly i think they work fine together.

Will See what we can do Thakswet

can you give us an idea of how many bottles you sell per week?

also, can you call FoodNetwork and get a show anytime you want?

Hey MrFreeze, You are correct T-shirts have been out. I am not a pro at the clothing Biz. Everytime Shirts are produced our Stores order um up and we need more

Blair….called but you were gone….like your present?

How’s your new additon to your family coming?

I think you should reserve some for the HSB. Also I think it is great that you take time to post on this site, show’s you are really a chilihead and not just in it for the money. All though that is nice.

Eman, When I started Death Sauce in 89′ I always felt like watching people eat my sauce made them come to life…Eyes Wide Open…..Death alone is Morbid but with Feel Alive it is Passion

Blair, The 4am I was gonna send you for repair is in the good hands of Jim Campell. I traded him for his #278 2AM. I know he will be letting you repair it shortly. I gotta see some pics when it is done. I hated to see it go but Ive always wanted a low number 2am. Now I got one!!!!!!! My brother just got his Vintage set today. Wish I could have orderd mine.

scott can you get us the numbers for my spreadsheet and his nickname for the sheet?

sorry about that delay I am on a wireless labtop that is just not acting great

give us an addition 30 minutes?

here’s that post where you can praise other hot sauce manufactures… What’s your opinion. Who’s got shiat you like?

He got ——-

Sudden Death w/ ginseng - 42
Sudden Death - 31
Sudden Death w/ chipotle - 11
Gardener’s Death - 21
Jersey Death - 9

His name on here is “ToddVA”

thanks scott.

Hey Thakswet, In answer to your question about stores…….That my friend is not a simple answer…….While I KNOW the Sauces would sell great in the Major Supermarkets, chains etc….It is much more complex….If I chose to go that path then I would saying f-u to the Hundreds and Hundreds of Gourmet Speciality Markets that carry my products…..These stores have supported me when I did not have enough money to make 10 cases of Sauce. If you turn around and then sell to the Walmarts of the world you destroy the “Special Nature” of the product….In my opinion of course..Much more to say but it would be a book

we currently have 2 people saying they both have #27 Sudden Death

How is this for stats…

…with the addition of the Cutting Room Floor and Vintage set…”THE CABINET” (when the cutting room floor gets here) will have 111 DIFFERENT BLAIR’S products!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many Many manufactures out there produce great stuff…..To name a few would not do it Justice

The Super Target by me used to sell some of your sauces. Then about 2 years ago they stopped. I think I got the last 15 bottles of the Original Death they had.

You might want to talk to her about the one from tonight, I had an idea, but I do not know if it is possible. But you should talk to her about it.

Getting in on this a little late, but oh well. Good evening everybody

As for a book , I do not feel it is time yet…I have a strong belief in building strong roots over time…..I have watched some great products come and go because they think it happens overnight.I can Assure you it does not…I am not in any Rush to Build a Huge company.If it is meant to be it will be

Hey Ryan

Hey Blair, good to see ya join us for a bit

It sure seems like you have a level head on your shoulders Blair. I like the idea that you are sticking with the people that helped you get where you are today.(the specialty stores) Basically you are not selling out and sticking to your roots.

The very funny thing about that, is there are a number of people that feel you are an industry GIANT.
But you obviously do not feel that way.
But compared to some (wonderful) backyard ma and pop shops I guess you would be a giant. So it is up to personal interpretation of what a giant is.

You have signed a TON of reserve bottles. There are only a few that I have seen that you have put “FEEL ALIVE” on the side. What makes you pick these few that you do that with? I think it is cool.

you are the dictator of sauces.. you should put a book out!

Hey Mr.Freeze, If you lose sight of why what you do works and start thinking you are bigger than you are….It spells a recipe for a quick end….Do the right thing and it will come back. In my opinion

Blair, so what is up with the eleven number in your vintage collection. First # plus eleven gets the second # and so-on. Is that a special number or something??

I only have one question for you Blair.

What do you feel has lead to your items (and most are) driving such a collectible market, while others out there will never see the types of prices at auction yours see, and theirs can be 10 years old and yours within a year? Just wondering if you ever wondered or had ideas on that, and if it was your plan or it jsut sort of happened?

Hey Scott, I have signed many reserves and you are correct only a few say “Feel Alive” the truth is I never write “Feel Alive at the time I sign…Usually what happens is I go into our wharehouse and see a bottle on the shipping line and decide to write “Feel Alive” just because

Its just an easy way of putting the sets together since there are 99 sets and 99 is a multiple of 11

I agree with you totally. It is nice to see some of the manufacturers post on this site, it shows they care about their customers.

LOL, that keeps my brains from leaking out my ears after a day at the office

Hey Pmac, I am asked your question all the time…..Regarding pricing of Reserves…Of course it is nice to see but that is out of my hands.Each and every day more and more Chiliheads From around the find out about what we are doing.Fact is NO MORE 4am’s, 5am’s etc will ever be produced So If you have a growing number of collectors but the same number of bottles there really is only one thing that can happen to the value

Well…it’s been an hour…you still here Blair?

Blair, is their any of your releases that YOU think are more “pure gold” than others? and hey, what the #$#@$$ did you think this ever would happen?

Still Here….

Blair, my one and only question is, do you make a #0 that you keep for yourself, or do you number any that you keep at all?

Hey Ryan you will have to explain that one to me. 99 is a mutiple of 11. Isn’t 33 also a multiple of 11. 9×11=99, 3×11=33

What do you mean “Pure Gold”

thakswet on 5/5/2006 at 9:40 pm said:

Blair, is their any of your releases that YOU think are more “pure gold” than others? and hey, what the #$#@$$ did you think this ever would happen?

Not sure how to read that one…

Hey Ryan, I do not Number Zero (I might have though at some point who knows) I sometimes do keep number 30 of some reserves….Lucky Number

Its the path of least resistance. Would you rather count by 11 over and over, or 33?

Also, Blair, see if you can top the 16mill mark and keep up the good work!!!!! Cant wait to see yur next project.

Scott, The New Reserve Bottle will be a very Modern Looking version of my current bottle but with sharp angles and a very High end Look…..With some Extra something something….You will see

chrisk on 5/5/2006 at 9:49 pm said:

well Blair, I had habanero sorbet a couple of times and that whole hot cold thing is pretty cool. But thats a bit different from the “normal” hot sauce trail.

Also –For the Record—Many People think it bothers me that I sell a Reserve for $100 and it is quickly resold for 5 times or more .The Fact is We live in the United States of America and if you choose to sell your Reserves…More power to you…They will go to a Happy Home…….

Sitting here thinking I have an idea, Blair you could make a shirt to go with all of the collectible bottles. So when you are lucky enoguh to get one like with the vintage collection for example you could toss in a shirt that states something like ” I am an official owner on the vintage colection” I don’t know something like that. That would be awesome.

I can’t wair until the time I can ask Blair point-blank on some great questions.

Aint’ he the best.?!>

Hi Everyone. I hope this is as good as it seems to be.

I think it’s funny how some people disappear when Blair arrives.

I was just mentioning that to the wife LOL

IYO what’s that’s about.?

I would rather not say, I might be wrong or my opinion might upset a few people I really like, so I will take the 5th on that one.

It could very well just be co-incidence!

Actually it was lucky for you if there were some silent onlookers out there, you had the ability go get a few questions answered because there were only us 4-5 guys on with him, I think all or most are in the top 20 commenters too…hmm kinda might say we all spend wayy to much time here

It is a friday night, most people tend to go out or spend time with family. Not too sure where MSK would fit into all though.
I would tend to think that some would not want to interfere, since really that is the first time I have seen him online to do a q/a session. But I could be way off base even with that answer I am glad, I have never spoken to Blair before and always wanted to ask him that question about why they are more valuable and what his opinion is on that.
Also wanted to say thanks just like i have to CaJohn and Jim a few times never had the chance before now.

Yeah, it was nice of him to stick around for a bit. Normally he posts once or twice and then he’s gone, but I’m sure he’s got a life outside the blog like all the other manufacturers and doesn’t live to post here all day every day. Unfortunately some people don’t get that.

Things are fine with the baby. Things are not so good with my father. They think he suffered from a stroke prior to surgery and they do not think he is going to wake up from his semi-comatose state.

Eman, have you ever tried to pick your foot off the ground, rotate your leg clockwise, and draw a 6 in the air with your finger? Try it, it will drive you nuts

ok, you just got both of us to look really stupid

Ryan on 5/5/2006 at 11:06 pm said:

I’m really sorry to hear that. We’ll keep hoping the best for him.

Thanks, that means a lot to us. At this point all we can do is pray. So we appreciate all the prayers for our family.

Things are fine with the baby. Things are not so good with my father. They think he suffered from a stroke prior to surgery and they do not think he is going to wake up from his semi-comatose state.

Sorry to hear that mrseman. Thoughts and prayers are still with you guys. Remember to take care of yourself and the baby during these trying times.

I can’t believe I missed the one on one with Blair (OK blog on one with Blair ) Came home and Mrs Huvason planned a big BBQ. Grillin, beers and Hot Tub - so it wasn’t all that bad

oooooo…hot tub sounds good, may have to go take a dip myself

Ryan on 5/5/2006 at 11:03 pm said:

Yeah, it was nice of him to stick around for a bit. Normally he posts once or twice and then he’s gone, but I’m sure he’s got a life outside the blog like all the other manufacturers and doesn’t live to post here all day every day. Unfortunately some people don’t get that.

Yeah it is cool, the whole thing is an outrageous idea- I am not stroking Nick or anything but just having the chance to do what was done tonight- heck almost every night with Jim, CaJohn, Brian, the DC Crew, and so on and so on is just so fun and exciting to me. I know their not Rock Stars but in this freaky little world they are Celebs, and it’s cool to talk with them.

Well thak, I don’t really know what you meant by this, but I think you could take a few notes from those of us that make the sauce. I checked out earlier to go drain a few aluminum cans with another “maker”, Dude. We are a brotherhood here in the land of Chileheads, we don’t make innuendos, we don’t “compete” and we are not “intimidated” by any one of our fellow bretheren. We are a family, we stand together to produce products from the chiles that we love. We do it for you! I have the utmost respect for the one that’s just starting out, some of us have made a niche and some have excelled, that doesn’t make any one of us any better than the other! I’m sure Blair feels the same way. Blair talks of Karma, I would hate to think that you are passing “Bad” Karma, as it tends to come back at you tenfold! Don’t be coy, say what you mean!!!

Was out with friends tonight celebrating one’s birthday! It was a mundane evening at best. Way too crowded every place we went. Baby stepping through a bunch of people for 10 minutes just to find the restroom is not my idea of a good time

I’m glad to see that a few of you were around when Blair was. From what I’ve read, a good time was had by all.

See ya’ll around tomorrow!

My skull is hanging from my keychain! Represent Aight!

I can’t believe that I went out last night and missed Blair on here.. ..suppose there are always emails

I “disappeared” because I’d promised the wife a nice dinner & candlelight Priorities She’s suppoting me in a *huge* adventure, which Nick has promised to post when I give him the okay, & I owed her some family time.

I think someone said it best when they said ‘respect’- a lot of us have chatted at length with Blair multiple times & have no reason to ’step in’ and interrupt (or worse- redirect it at ourselves) the few conversations he has here on the blog. There are no competitors here- just alot of friends doing the same thing.

Thanks for backing up my statement there Jim

All you guys are part of this whole “hot sauce” culture and the best part is there is always room for more. For the most part, everyone is welcome with open arms and there is no “toe-stepping” going on here ;-)Its kind of a shame that this even needed to be clarified cause some people just done see that

relax. It was just something I noticed.

As for me, we tend to do ‘family movie night’ on Fridays with my girls.

I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting Blair, but I look forward to doing so, hopefully at ZF.

Have to go demo today. Everyone have a good one and play nice:)

Sorry for the confusion…..also sorry I missed Blair…I have one of his American Hot sauces in my collection that made made for 9/11 charities. Much like sauce for soldiers, some special sauces/ lables/ reserves for other charites would be cool….I would buy one for the cause and the collections coolness.

Since it scientificly proven that hot stuff improves blood circulation , the heart foundation might be a good start.

here is a thought, I think we have now 3 of us that all have the same numbers but different sauces of course, maybe if we find all five on HSB we could figure out trade or something between us all to get every bottle being the same numbers for our collections. That would be cool to have all 5 types with all the same numbers.

Good news and devastating news…. The good news first, I got the #1 Sudden Death w/ chipotle. Well, that is the only good news. The bad news!!! I got my box at the door. It looked fine, no damage on the outside. I picked it up and smelled a strong hot sauce smell. Thought there might be a problem. When I opened the box I found a MESS!!! The Gardners Death was broken and (since the bottles weren’t wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in packing peanuts) hot sauce was all over the inside of the box. Every bottle has sauce all over the outside and the labels look to be ruined. They are all wet from the broken bottle of sauce. That definately ruined my weekend. I was excited when I saw the box at the door. Didn’t think it was big enough to have the 5 bottles of Blair’s Vintage that I had ordered in it… Now I have to figure out if anything can be done with these. Hope everybody else gets their’s in 1 piece… This is devastating!!!

Here are my numbers:

Sudden Death w/chipotle #1
Jersey Death #12
Sudden Death #23
Gardners Death #34 (BROKEN)
Sudden Death w/ginseng #45

Graham.
If you like that sort of thing, I think you should contact CaJohn, his Lady Liberty RWB Bottle was originally made for the 911 relief fund as well. I believe he still has a handful for sale. number 100 is in there too. there were about 120ish made but originally supposed to be 2001, and the first 4 made were #1 9 11 and 911 but I think(correct me please John if I get it wrong) he ran out of one of the wax colors and had to stop in the ealy 100’s or the bottles were discontinued one of the two.

Hi Mrs. Ryan

Hey Mrs.Ryan! Hope yer havin’ a great day!!
If the Mrs was to post, does she need to put in a diff email addy in order to have her own count? Does that make any sense?

You dont have to leave pmac we can be one big happy family.

I think it is an interesting collection, it is his so he chooses what goes in it. He often askes my opinion, and thats nice. I really prefer hot sauce i can eat though.

I wasn’t really into it until Ryan got a package from TracyC and that was the beginning, I have started my own collection, and Ryan gets my opinion on stuff from time to time so it becomes a little mine too…. but we have different styles of what we collect or what we would like in our collections.

Most bottles are really designed well, so they look good. That matters when you have an entire wall dedicated to it:)

That happy face looks wierd oops I collect candles and candle holders. But the hot sauce is fun too. Everyone has their own passion, thats what makes life interesting.

Well its officeial…Mrs. Ryan is an addict. She just left to make a quick run to the store and asked me to keep an eye on the blog for her. I started laughing and she said “I’m talking to Mrs. Pmac, shut up”…RIIIIIIGHT, like that’s the ONLY reason. She’s probably already having withdrawls

Well its officeial…Mrs. Ryan is an addict. She just left to make a quick run to the store and asked me to keep an eye on the blog for her. I started laughing and she said “I’m talking to Mrs. Pmac, shut up”…RIIIIIIGHT, like that’s the ONLY reason. She’s probably already having withdrawls

I am pretty sure the girl workin the counter at 7-11 wants to have me committed I told her I was having a great convo could she please hurry, with no cell phone in sight i am sure she thought i was having trouble keeping my other 4 personalities hidden

Money is truely evil. It is much more important than it should be. It is only a possession after all, cant take it with you.

Only two in there right now, working on aquiring a third, but we’ll get some pics to ya. I have your husband’s e-mail address so I’ll send them there for you

the purses are very cool, I will take some pics for ya, and Ryan already said he would email em to pmac, I can’t wait until I get the bottles of CaJohns stuff I am coveting, they will be a nice addition to my purse collection

Ryan on 5/6/2006 at 4:05 pm said:

I would actually like to address this comment because I seems to come up more and more, even yesterday when the Blair 1-on-1 thig happened. It unfortunately caught me off guard because I would not want someone like him or CaJohn, or anyone else in the industry thinking I just sell these things for profit. I do in fact make some money here and there on bottles absolutely…However, let me be crystal clear when i say this…I do not take a dime home, I broker buy low sell high because I find track down do allot of legwork spend money on long distance calling places across several countries. ALL in an effort to improve my wall or rather display cabinet. If I did not do this there would be no way that I could afford the Caldera, Halloween ‘04 10oz Death with White wax gold skull or Lady Liberty RWB #1 etc etc etc. I love these bottles, and do a lot of time investment to make it all happen. I hope some of you understand that, and I expect that some will not. But otherwise I would not have what I have today. Hell I do not even have a B-99 anymore, I traded it for something I felt was more important and unattainable, but I paid $500 for the B-99, so as you can see (i hope) there is alot of money tied up in my, and most, collections. We do not have the bottlomless pits for pockets though, so I have to do other things to get what I like!

This was not intended to be defensive, but since my far better half is going to start coming online here, I see a better than average chance that we will in fact be meeting some of you down the road, and I do not want a reputation like that. It is not what we are about, selling for profit only. Its about the collection. I am really trying to see what I can do about ZF in September. I do not know the first thing about it though, and would if at all possible make a long weekend of it. Where who when etc. I havent followed it to date so i am a little out of the loop on ZF.

That is fine i will see them there. Do you mind if i ask what are you picking up from CaJohn’s?

pmac,
Just for you info, I do not in any way think you are a horrible person for selling and or trading part of your collection for things that you would like to have more or are more expensive or are more sentimental, those that look down at you for that should probably look in a mirror and address some truths about themselves before trying to cast stones or insults, I look for the best deals on the bottles that I want whether it be for pennies (ha ha) or hundreds (more like it) some of these bottles people would think I am a nutball for coveting, or even buying, and I say Poo poo to them, it’s MY collection and I will collect WHAT I want. or give away or sell or whatever I choose to do with it, I have however made a few promises along with my hubby to never let certain bottles go up on ebay or sell or whatnot, because they were provided to us out of the goodness of someones heart, or otherwise. so pmac, I say do what you want to get what you want, as long as no bridges are burned, I sincerely hope to see you and the mrs.pmac and ZF please let Ryan and I know if there is something we can do to help in the meantime.

Mrspmac on 5/6/2006 at 4:29 pm said:

I will tell you I guard the “texas” fund like a pitbull chewing on a chihuahua (no offfense to my chihuahua) I can tell you where we got the best deal on a hotel just email Ryan we’ll send you all the details and keep you updated on the best deals for plane fair….

Ryans collection is much more than mine, but I am working on it, CaJohns bottles are so unique they caught my attention and now I am obsessed with them I’ll take some pics and send them along with the others.

Don’t worry about what anybody else thinks.
People sell for all sorts of different reasons. Some want to buy more sauces, some just simply NEED the money.

Graham.
If you like that sort of thing, I think you should contact CaJohn, his Lady Liberty RWB Bottle was originally made for the 911 relief fund as well. I believe he still has a handful for sale. number 100 is in there too. there were about 120ish made but originally supposed to be 2001, and the first 4 made were #1 9 11 and 911 but I think(correct me please John if I get it wrong) he ran out of one of the wax colors and had to stop in the ealy 100’s or the bottles were discontinued one of the two.

They just didn’t sell…

I thought you might have, being a firefighter and all. From what I hear Cummins is pretty much the whole town. I’ve got a friend that is going to the Commons Mall and get me a bottle of Unbearable. I won’t have to pay any freight that way. Hope to see you at Zest Fest, I’ll bring the bottle and see if I can get you to sign it for me. I live near Fort Worth.

I thought you might have, being a firefighter and all. From what I hear Cummins is pretty much the whole town. I’ve got a friend that is going to the Commons Mall and get me a bottle of Unbearable. I won’t have to pay any freight that way. Hope to see you at Zest Fest, I’ll bring the bottle and see if I can get you to sign it for me. I live near Fort Worth.

I’d be more than happy to sign it- it’d be my honor. Columbus is a bit more than Cummins. Arvin Meritor has sizeable operations there also. If he can’t find one at the Commons Mall, try the Columbus Visitors Center. Failing that, let me know & I’ll see if I can meet up with him to get him one.

Very exciting stuff- the intreague, the mystery, the anticipation!
not sure I can handle it

Hey Jim, How are you…..

Fine, but a bit tuckered. I might have high speed cable on the government nickel, but they expect me to do other stuff to earn it

I hear you, and I can relate to the tuckered part as well- weekends are always rough in retail with very demanding long hours and appreciative hourds of happy shoppers
