Well, I went downtown here in Wake Forest this past Saturday to visit a local art/craft shop that sells artwork from local artists to see about setting up a few pen displays (which looks to be a thumbs-up!).

When there were three perfect General Lee's parked in front of the building, I knew something wasn't quite as usual.

Sure enough, when I walked in, there sat James Best in his Hazzard Sheriff uniform, signing autographs and shooting the breeze. I walked up and shook his hand and he asked me "what's in the box"--- I had the mitered-corner box I carry around my pens in. I showed them to him and gave him a nice bocote slimline as a token. What a cool guy. For someone that played such a goofy scoundrel, he is quite a gentleman. That made my day for sure!

Goodgoodgoood!

Let me completly understand,you walk into a Art gallery to see about selling your pens and meet a quazi-celeb and you give him a pen instead of selling him one, Just don't add up for me.

Sure it does, now when he's selling his pens he can say James best aka Rosco Coltrane has one.[:D]
 
Lets see, you meet a man who is a cleb who is signing autographs most likely with a Bic or Sharpie and he ask you what you have in your box. You show him your custom made pens, it just seems to me he gave you the opening to sell him a nice pen to sign his autographs with and not give him a slimline. Now you can say so and so BOUGHT a pen from me.
We all see things differently so don't take this personally, its just I'm a salesman and see an opportunity to sell one of my higher end pens.

I hear ya. However, my main goal in going to that place was to talk to the owner about setting up a display. Their shop is literally a mile from my home, very very busy, and has a great reputation. I am not interested in risking a p-o'ed manager.

With that in mind, how do you think it might look if I walked in off the street with my art and tried to hassle his celebrity guest into buying a pen, especially one that the shop gets NO commission for. Not quite what I'd want people doing in my shop.

That's just the way I think. When I make slimlines, I have about 30 minutes and maybe $4 in them (for the chromes at least). I can afford to give my childhood buddy Rosco a pen for that.

Oh, yes, the ORIGINAL and ONLY Dukes of Hazzard, lol. As far as the movie, I'll put it like I heard "Marvin Webster" on the Johnboy and Billy show say about it: "Usually when a movie makes white people look this bad, it says at the beginning credits 'produced by Spike Lee'".

Oh, and to answer the question, I am 29 and spent WAAAYYYY too much time in front of the tv as a kid.[B)]
 
You lucky dog. I would like to meet him once.

That show came out when I was seven. I got so much crap because of this show. At one time or another my nickname was everyone of those characters EXCEPT for Daisy. lol
