Ok, important for everyone to bring along:
1- Bring a folding or a chair for you/and your guest
2- And also we need to have folks bring tables for the food items.
(Please let me know so we don't have too many of tables)
If you decide to have any show and tell or sell your ware, tools or blanks you need to:
1- bring your own table or display for them since Curtis does not have
that many to offer.
We also need people who are planning to stay longer to help with cleaning after the majority of attendees leave. All, and all it should be lots of fun it sure was last year.

Last year, we each brought some blanks and woods (to be cut) and we entered a drawings. we also had swaps amongst the members. Some brought blanks and other wares to sell or trade.
We also need some demo.s (not demolitions) and hopefully you guys would pitch in some of your talents.

 

[phillywood]

On a previous post Curtis suggested that he can get a hold of a Port-a-Cool for the un-airconditioned section of the shop. It will still be very comfortable. What does anyone think of that idea? If you are in favor of it then I'll ask Curtis to tell us the cost and everyone please pitch in.

[ElMostro]

I was initially going to be out of town during the meeting so I was not planning on going but the trip is postponed...now I am trying to "squirrel" my way out of a "gathering" that I was "voluntold" to attend...so put me down as tentative

No, I was counting on you buddy, you went to Houston meeting with goodies and I didn't think you get exempted from your own backyard meeting. Glad to have you if you can getaway to come. BTW, let me know if you want to car pool like last time.

Oh, are you going to do any demos or bring supplies with you too?

 

[phillywood]

What happened to all of those folks that attended last year in May, does anyone know? They are not responding?

 

[itzapen]

Curtis,
I'll be there

 

[phillywood]

Curtis,
I'll be there

Curtis? last time I checked my name was still Phillip. You welcome to the meeting.

 

[MesquiteMan]

Curtis,
I'll be there

Curtis? last time I checked my name was still Phillip. You welcome to the meeting.

Phillip, he was addressing this to me since he is a personal friend of mine that has been to my shop many times. And OF COURSE he is welcome. Everyone is welcome in my shop.

 

[MesquiteMan]

I guess food will be BBQ but I think it would be nice to have desert back at the shop afterwards if anyone is willing/interested. It was more fun doing the cook out last time but I just do not have the time right now to prepare for that with getting the pits here and everything.

 

[flyitfast]

Curtis/Phillip, the BBQ idea works for me. My wife says she will add to the desserts. Don't know what but I'll have something.
Thanks,
gordon

Curtis, I know that I was just kidding him.
OK, we will have BBQ, and you want kind of collect money at the meeting and put in the order and go pick it up so we will all be around the tables at your place and eat all together. This way no cooking and we would be all around the same camp fire?
If you are in agreement then I ask that we bring something for the desert. The other thing I forgto to ask you if you still have your fridge then we can bring some cold fruits and have them during the day.

 

[phillywood]

Anyone else would like to do demos?
Do not Forget to bring chairs and your tables for show and tell.

It is going to be best to just go to the BBQ place like we did 2 years ago. That way people can get exactly what they want. I have already talked with the owners of the restaurant and they are going to set up their private room for us to use. Then we can eat there and come back to the shop afterwards. Trying to collect money and get exactly what everyone wants will be a logistical nightmare.

 

[widows son]

add 1 More

The LOML is coming so add one more

thanks, John Wallace

 

[HeartofaPen]

I am interested in seeing a demo using water slide on pens. I have someone who is wanting me to add some and I would like to see someone do one before I try it, if possible.

Will see what the LOML wants to try and get together for desert.

Chris Jones

 

[ElMostro]

Ok it looks like I can make it but I am going to have to punch out a bit early in order to make the next event over here.

As far as bringing supplies, I can bring some "Amalgam-Mutts" if anyone is interested.

Looks like me and the family will be there...will need to cut out by 2 or so - I want to take them up to the Comal for a short trip down the river before we head back to Houston.

 

[Rounder]

+1 for me. Timebandits mom and the LOML will be there with us.

 

[mrburls]

I will bring 2 cherry crumb pies along with boxes of pen blanks of all kinds. Even some of my new Italian resin blanks I recently got, plus did a sample pen of the Italian blanks so you can see what they look like when finished.

Hello Eugene, I'd be interested in a couple of the Lava Lamps in Orange Sherbet if you have a couple. Thanks!

 

[burgerman]

I can bring some of the red plastic Solo cups. I have about 40 or so, if they are needed.
I will also bring some cookies for dessert.

It does start at 9:30, right? I can be there when it starts but need to cut out for another event by about 2pm or so.

Is there going to be a blank swap this time?
