Ok, so maybe the graphic is not as whiz-bang awesome as some folks‘, but at least it gets the point across (feel free to yoink it and spread it around).
As previously mentioned (and made doubly-clear above), I am working on organizing a Knoxville-area blogger/commenter/reader/lurker get-together at Coal Creek Armory and the semi-new Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q. Given that the only definitive vote in either direction has been for the 5th, go ahead and plan on this shindig going down on that day (that would be this weekend, just so everyone is on the same page).
The general plan of attack is to start at CCA at 1000 to gratuitously perforate some paper, and then to retire to Jim ‘N Nick’s about 1200 to consume copious quantities of TN BBQ. You are welcome to attend both/either event as your schedule and desires dictate, but I would appreciate it if folks were to RSVP to this post by this Friday, so I can give both establishments something of a heads-up. Additionally, if you are planning to come to the range portion of the shindig, do bring something you would not mind other folks using, including newbie shooters… and for those folks out there unfamiliar with firearms, or without one of your own, I will definitely bring along something that should be suitable for most beginners.
At the moment, we currently have Les Jones, Brick, Beaumont, Rich and Lissa, M. J. Mollenhour, Matthew R., and myself more-or-less confirmed to attend, with SayUncle and Michael Silence making it if their schedules allow. I have shot a few emails to a few other area bloggers, and even some corporate types, but if you know of anyone else who might like to come, feel free to pass on the information.
Anywise, it is always interesting to put faces to names, so if you write, comment at, read, or lurk at a weblog based in the Knoxville region, and you are not far from there yourself, feel free to stop on by… if nothing else, as the good folks at The Box O’ Truth like to say, shooting stuff is fun [and BBQ ain't too bad either]!
I’ll be there at CCA and for lunch. Will bring a variety of handguns for others to shoot.
I’m in for CCA and lunch.
Linoge – thanks for setting this up.

Have you e-mailed this to Prof Reynolds? I know his blog doesn’t focus on gun issues (though he’s clearly a rights-friendly blogger), but it wouldn’t hurt to send an invite….
@ Matthew R: Shiny, thanks!
@ Brick: Not a problem. Seems like something we should do more often

@ AuricTech: Actually, I had completely forgotten he was a Knoxvillian… I will have to correct that, thanks!
mmmm, Jim’n'Nicks…
One thing we don’t have up here – good BBQ. Eat some pig for me!

Hm. I see an opening for a business in Alaska… if only I knew a damned thing about running a restaurant!
Excellent graphics!
From you, that is quite the compliment! I fear I cannot produce many more, though, since I had to steal the template from the intertubes…
