Anyone around these days?

I am here, the tumble weed knocked me over… I do worry about the buzzards overhead.

Bruce

I am here also. Not going anywhere.

Etienne

Then I guess you are stuck with me. 


Till next time,
Sean

You're stuck with me, too! Just sitting around reading CupsCon.

Tom

It hasn't changed very much. Around this time last year this place was buzzin'.

Etienne

I guess this is a busy time of year for people...

Yes a busy weekend… digging out the Christmas decorations and such. While the family is a church I am making a big batch of chili verde, we are having company for dinner. I just love the smell of roasted green chilies.

Cup wise I have been playing with the Johnny Paul Cups and Caliph’s Cone.

I have been wondering about Andre and Tom G, I hope all is well with them.

Take care,
Bruce

Hey Bruce,

I'm doing OK, thanks! I just haven't been surfing too much lately, or logging onto CupsCon. I haven't been doing any Christmas shopping either! My C&B is stagnant. Yikes! Anyway, it sure is very quiet around here. I don't know what the solution is. We gotta come up with something!

So many guys have dropped out over time. No idea what Andre is up to.

I'm hoping to show a little C&B to some friends and family during the Christmas and New Year holidays. I hope I can dazzle 'em and not drop anything on the floor!

Hanging in there,
Tom

Hey Tom…. I t is good to know that you are still out there, whatever you do don’t paint anymore Cups to shake things up.

Bruce

That's what I should do, paint my cups! That might give us something to talk about! Just kiddin'....

I actually like the paint job I did on them. They don't stack as well, but that's OK. What I didn't like about them was the original color; Scratched Aluminum. I figured any color would be better than that!

You know who got me started on painting my cups? It was Eddie. He was going to paint his cups, but I don't think he ever did. So I tried it! Haven't heard from Eddie in a long time.

Tom

Hey Tom… I am glad that you are back. I have not seen Eddie post anything at the Big Green for a while either. Let’s hope that he is doing well and making some money for the holidays.

Ever once and a while I will get a message from Mike, he is very busy and doing well. I worry about Andre; he seemed to disappear around the first tidal waves that hit the Philippines several months ago.

As far as Cup things go, I have been practicing with some new Cups and will have some reviews coming out after the holidays. I have also been using The PF DD Cups every day and they are turning a great color of brown.

FYI… I have an employee who has given me some Crown Royal bags, they work great as bags for storing Cups. From their website it looks like you can order the bags separately with different options.

Take care,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

A Crown Royal bag would be a great way to store your cups! What a great idea! Perfect for an adult audience.

I know Mike said he was busy with school. I guess that's what he's up to. As far as Andre, I thought he was still posting right after that bad weather. Not sure. Maybe all the phone wires are still down from the storms, and no Internet connection.

I'll bet Eddie is raking in the money. He seemed to work at some nice places in NYC.

Take care,
Tom

Tom,

I also stumbled across Andre’s face book or something like it; there have been no resent postings there too.

Well I hope Eddie is doing good, I like success stories. 

Bruce

A lot of the old pro's, such as Mike Rogers, etc., used to pack their cups in Crown Royal bags. There are several different kinds of adult beverages that come in flannel bags or other similar  types of packaging. If you are worried about the reaction that parents might have if you are performing for their kiddos, you can turn the bag inside out, which makes the writing illegible, or, better yet, use some manicure scissors or a thread cutter to cut the embroidery and remove the logo.
