Wish I could have been there. (At both the celebration and in Vegas.)

Hate having adult responsibilities. Oh well.... Looking forward to all the sweet (and embarrassing) pics that I'm sure will be posted soon.

This was a great party! It was really good to see friends old and new, but I got so busy enjoying everyone's company that I forgot to pull out my camera, so I have no pics to post. :(

We saw some cool new products, heard some very interesting info about upcoming products, and even got to see, touch, and give feedback on some prototypes!

Greta and KC, thank you for hosting this, and thanks also to all the rest of the sponsors, not only of the party, but of CPF in general, whether that sponsorship comes from companies or from individuals' subscriptions. Without that monetary support and the ongoing contributions of posts, there would be no CPF.

I also would like to thank all the vendors who donated the "swag" that was given out; you all were VERY generous.

Here's hoping someone else had enough presence of mind to take pictures, and posts them here!

I attended the get together by invitation from Olight. I am a total flashlight and LED geek (I bought some of the first ever red, green, and orange LEDs back in the 70's) but never even heard of this forum.

I absolutely enjoyed myself and met some of the coolest people on the planet.

15 years is a wonderful accomplishment for an online forum. Congrats to CPF. Thanks to Kelly for maintaining the high quality of operations abd discourse here. I enjoyed the party last night and the bling. See y'all next year!

Yep, like everyone already said, it was a great time and wonderful opportunity to meet some of the people behind the keyboard.

Thanks to Kelly and Honey for pulling everything together, to the sponsors who contributed to the raffle/giveaway, and to everyone who attended!

Pure Awesomeness. Thank you to everyone that showed, it was surreal to meet everyone, PK is a funny dude and everyone I spoke with was especially kind. Henry is the man, so much passion and knowledge there, it was eye opening to how dedicated someone could be to their craft. I am the furthest thing from a kiss up, but Misses Dreller was an absolute pleasure to meet in person and did a fantastic Job!

A Special THANK YOU to Gretta!

An awesome party with fantastic people organised by the wonderful Greta!

We were very lucky to party with creative genii PK, David Chow and Henry Schneiker (amongst other genii present) and were treated to a special preview of the result of a collaboration between PK and FOURSEVENS

This event-the party- the sea of humanity attending SHOT....hard to describe. In spite of the decline in Las Vegas' service Industry; it remains the preeminent gathering place. The anniversary party was very cool and it was an honor to be with the CPF central command and affiliates. Thanks to Kelly and KC x 100!. Thanks PK for not getting us locked up in the Clark County jail. I hear it is not the best of Vegas. Thanks to Ted Bear for the hospitality. You rock! Thanks OLight for the prize. I can actually use 1000 lumens on a regular basis. I am humbled by the fighting men and woman attending shot to shop for TAC gear; hoping that their hard earned cash and the gear choices that they make will save their Bacon. There is fun shopping, then there is shopping that is serious as a heart attack- and this is what hits me hard when Isee these soldiers choosing equipment. I have left drool in several vendor's booths over the last thee days; and for that I apologize ;-). Even though I love cameras, not a pic have I snapped . But mine eyes have been filled. Caught "American Sniper" in IMAX tonight. Tears flowed. Will hit SHOT in the Morning. Hope to catch some of you before I head back to the hinterlands. Thanks again CPF. A6. I neglected to mention David Chow. The commemorative CPF light is awesome. Just cracked the case open and was simply amazed! And a shout out to the boys I demoed the Spydie Drop to. Don't cut yourself.

A couple of you have mentioned the lack of taking pics while there. I say... no problem! It's just cool hearing about it, and imagination can fill in the rest.

Kinda' hoping PK did something near arrest-worthy. :cool: LOL

Last time I was out that way, for comdex, I somehow got into a few other cons, like porndex (interesting!), got to meet Penn (but not Teller). For those of us stuck in the garage (I'm not the only one, I know), please post your badges and swag once you get home. And Godspeed.
