How about an Oklahoma Bubbasville!

OKLAHOMAN · Jul 9, 2008

I think I sent all directions to my house who have indicated that they will join us. If I missed anyone please PM or email me, also LMK if your coming (want to make sure we have plenty of food for all) .

This is one of the most amazing communities on the net, I've made friends that are like family to me that I've never seen. With the passing of Eagle it dawned on me that with-in a 2 hour drive I've got a family of friends that I never met and I don't want to miss the opportunity to meet, share stories, and enjoy each others company. So I'm inviting any member and their family that can get to beautiful Shawnee, Oklahoma to spend a day just sitting around and enjoying life in general. My shop is small but I have 2 lathes that anyone that wants can use and a large enough supply of blanks to make lots of dust. I'm thinking any week-end in Aug or Sept. except Aug 2nd-3rd and 30th-31st. You can respond here or PM me with dates that are good for you.....Then I'll determine the best date.

Roy,

If you want to meet a lot of IAP members...maybe join one of those held in Dallas? It is quite a trip from you but looking at the members map, there is a good concentration of members there.

Who knows, I might even join you if the dates work out with my schedule

Just a thought.

A couple of us Okies have talked about hitting one of those south of the border meetings, and I'm sure we will at some point. I think the one thing this will help do is we can get a count of the cavalry we'll be able to invade with

. I'm looking forward to this one, Roy. Be nice to gather those of us that are in the close vicinity together. Maybe I can get a couple of the old original 'Mantown' guys to come with me.

Roy,

I can't think of a better state to hold a meeting with "Bubba" in the name!!!!

Well I might have to clear the whole month out and just go do pen stuff.

Now if I just didnt have those bills and get so hungry 3 times a day I could quite working and have some fun!!

snowman56 · Jul 9, 2008

Hey! When are they held in Dallas?? I'm about 6 hours from there and I would love to meet everyone.

workinforwood · Jul 9, 2008

Last weekend in August works for me Roy. I'm only 2 hrs away by plane, just mail me a ticket and be sure it's for a round trip! I'll bring the drinks, but they'll all be in 2 ounce bottles and I can't supply a cork screw if that would be needed...security issues.

OKLAHOMAN · Jul 9, 2008

Jeff, the only airline I can get you on is Jim's Sashdoor and </u>Airline Company</u> and they say you won't need a cork screw as all the drinks are in gallon jugs and you have to bring your own folding chair or sit on the floor.

Are "Texan Bubbas" allowed to cross over the Red? I could attend unless it is the last weekend in Sept.

Do a good turn daily!

OKLAHOMAN · Jul 9, 2008

Don you old snake charmer we give one day visas to to those south of the RED. It is looking more like the next to last week-end in Sept., that would be Sept. 20th.
