Now that is cool! :smokin:
 
Awesome! Hmmmm... January 29th at Madison Square Garden, NYC. Need anything for your scrambler ? :wave:
 
Dear Schlap,
I knew the day would come that my wife and family would recognize the value of my 83 Scrambler.... Such abuse and ridicule of "my precious" (lord of rings reference) yet, last year when I mentioned the " my wife won a Grammy" thread she showed some interest. (First i thought it was because of her love of country music and specifically boon docks, pontoon, little white church only to discover that it was mostly for your wife who has to deal with a husband with a Scrambler addiction)

Well ... You probably know where this is going. Today she came with my 3 university daughters regarding the concert at air canada center in Toronto next Friday begging me to she if they could possibly meet your wife and band. Normally I would not pay much attention but through their tears I just couldn't not do it. (plus Jan, Feb in canada is Scrambler build season and it may give me some leverage to make a few key purchases for Big Red)

In all reality, I know it may not be possible and that's okay but I had to ask. They are such fans and the fact that the Scrambler opened the door would be a story and memory for the rest of our lives!

Blessings Padre!
 
Crap. like, 4 days from now? I'll put in a ticket request now. 5 tickets??? Not sure I can pull this one off. I need a full name also.
E-mail works best. Also, some advance notice is helpful.

I like it; it's original & unique.

Hey Schlap, I sent you an email a little while ago, but I don't think I sent a full name. I'll send you another with my name in case some are available. Thanks again, I certainly appreciate the opportunity!
 
I've met you, Schlap. I live right across the street from the Sangamon County Fair in New Berlin, Illinois, and am the treasurer of the fair board. LBT has played here twice in the past few years. Pretty sure I helped your wife fill a baby pool the first time you were in town!
 
yes indeed. that wasn't when I was selling t-shirts for the band was it?
My Scrambler came from Chicago. I flew in, bought it, and drove it 10 hours to Nashville...in a cold rain...with no top or doors...and a crappy gas guage.
Also have a LJ that came from Chicago. That was a more comfortable ride home.
I guess I have a thing for rescuing Jeeps from Chicago.
 
OK, Am I the only one who doesn't know who the other 4 people are with you and your bride? Please identify.
 
I believe you may have been in the shirt game, iirc.

Chicago's a good place to rescue jeeps from, I just picked up a project pile of parts from Naperville (I know, not quite Chicago, but if you're above I-80 it's all chi-town to me!).

A country band called Little Big Town. My wife is on the far left as you look at the picture.
 
An ode to Schlap...

From time to time we come upon friends and people who walk an extra mile for no other reason then simply - "it's in them!"

Who would have supposed you would meet them on a Scrambler thread?
But yesterday in minus 34 degree weather at the air canada center in Toronto my wife and three daughters were warmed by the kindness of a Scrambler man named Schlap!
Who in a last minute plea from me a frozen Canadian with an 8 found in His heart and soul a few tickets for the show for my family to go!
And there in the snow and with the sounds of the show my family did celebrate.

So a tip of the hat goes to the Scrambler man named Schlap who not knowing any of us at all became a special memory for our family to cherish in the future as they all had a ball

Thanks Schlap and may God bless you and your family in 2014!
Padre
 
Señor Schlap, thank you very much for giving my wife and I a GREAT night out. It was a pleasure meeting Kimberly and the rest of the band. They put on one hell of a show. George Strait wasn't bad either! We got in line and I saw a guy in a Scrambler Owners Association shirt. Turns out it was member TIMOTHY. It was nice putting a face to the name. I hope to see them on tour again. Thanks again!
 
Has anyone heard from Schlap? I wanted to thank him for my tickets but never heard back from him. He hasn't posted for awhile. Hope everything is ok.

My last email correspondence was June 25th. Said he has been super busy and his Scrambler was in the shop (from the brake failure incident).
