Tom Bihn Bag Sightings!

[dorayme]

We talked for a minute but he quickly determined that I was more of a zealot than he was and made an excuse to get on his plane to get away from me.

Isn't it funny how that happens?

I can imagine the look on his face. Haha!

I finally saw one! Waiting in the taxi line at Boston/Logan last Friday, the guy ahead of me had an ID (pretty sure that was it). Of course I had to say something to him! He said it was starting to get a little worn after about seven years of heavy use. Very exciting to finally seen one "in the wild."

Were you like "Oh.. well.. I've met Tom"?

Were you like "Oh.. well.. I've met Tom"?

Seriously, was that Tom?

[Katy]

Seriously, was that Tom?

She had a tour of the factory too a few months ago .

Were you like "Oh.. well.. I've met Tom"?

I totally played it cool. And by "cool," I mean, "completely nerded out to my girlfriend while sneaking a picture with my cameraphone while she said, 'you're going to talk to him, aren't you?' "

I said, "Nice Tom Bihn bag. I'm a fan, too," (gesturing to my Brain Bag and Aeronaut, not mentioning the Synapse and a silly number of organizer pouches and such inside). I figured the tour from Tom and pretty much hanging out with you guys at most of the store openings might be a little much. And I hadn't slept all night and it was 0430 my time. Better to keep my mouth shut! haha

Oh, and see you next week, probably. My S-I-L gave her yarn stuff sack to her Mom and wants a replacement. She called me after I was already gone from last week.

Note that it was just starting to get worn—after seven YEARS of heavy use. Amazing!

Whoa, the Synapse was where?

[tCook]

Inside the Brain Bag, yeesh!

[tCook]

Definitely wasn't the ID. Empire Builder? Zephyr? You can kinda see the wear on the zipper pulls and such where the black is wearing off. Well, you can't see it cuz my connection is severely suckeh. I'll email it to Katy ... standby ...

[Katy]

Empire Builder Fo' Sho'. *cough* For Sure.
