Arizona get-together/turn-a-thon

[woodwish]

Wow, this really sounds like fun but I don't think I can justify a trip all the way from Florida right now. To far to drive and still get to work that week []. Turn one for me! I'll turn a few here and think about you guys, maybe even toast you with a cold one when we finish [8D]

 

[airrat]

I can bring a lathe. Either on a stand or table just let me know.
10 am is good for me. With it going to be 80 this weekend, looks like its going to be a tanning christmas.

 

[airrat]

The date is Jan 14th at 10 am - his wife kicking us out. I will get an email to all with his address.

Kevin is letting us raid his place. He just told me he is hiding all his ornament stock and bowl supplies. (wouldnt want to corrupt us pen turners)[] Better known as cleaning the shop.

Lets plan on a potluck for the day. Bring finger foods to munch on. Kevin has a BBQ he offered(hope its still good) If so can bring easy to grill items.


So we can get an idea of how many, here is who I am seeing:
Anthony(pen works), Mike(vick),Kevin(dubdrvkev), Don(don in phx), Robert(Hastur), Easysport, Bev, Ldimick, and me. If not on this list please let us know so we can get enough lathes and space. The more people the funner day we can have.

 

[Dario]

Sounds like it will be a fun day...I envy you guys, wish I can just drive and join you! [].

Maybe the Texans will do something similar but problem is Texas itself is too big! Last one I joined, I have to drive 3 hours each way! []

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Yep BBQ is open for business.
Cleaning up will mostly be getting rid of the piles of chips and a little re-arranging so more than one person can work at a time. But thanks for reminding me to hide the goods. []
Dario, its a quick flight []

 

[Jim in Oakville]

I'll See if my Boss in Phoenix needs me down there around that time, This looks like it's going to be a hoot!!!

[][][][][]

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Okay heres the latest. I was informed that I have a wedding to go to the evening of the 14th. So what we decided was to open the shop an hour earlier and we'll wrap up around 3. So 9-3 still on the 14th is the GTG time. I think we should be able to do plenty of damage in 6 hours. Tom (airrat) has my address so email myself or him to get it, since I really don't really want to post it. Let me know if you want directions or if mapquest is okay.

 

[PenWorks]

I see what you are doing......trying to avoid paying overtime []
Still plan on being there, shoot me your address. Since we are going to knock off earlly, I just may visit my aunty in Sun Lakes and have time to play 9 holes [8D]

 

[airrat]

Make sure to send either Kevin or I an email for his address.

Heading over to his place today to make sure he has his "stock" put away. [] If not I am sure I can help him [)]

So here is a break down again
Place : Kevin's (send either him or I email for address)
Time: Sat Jan 14th from 9-3
Remember to bring something to have for a Lunch potluck. Kevin said we can use his BBQ.

 

[PenWorks]

Just a note to bring your cash !! I am packing up some discountinued pen kits I don't make any more, blanks, a pen press , drill vise and some other goodies that are taking up space. [] In case anybody wants to buy them, the price will be right.

Hey everyone if you can shoot me an e-mail with what food you are planning to bring. I will try to fill in the blanks so we dont have 12 bags of chips, or hot dogs with out buns or something.

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Good idea, or just post what you are bringing so we can all figure it out. I'll have soda's and water in the fridge.

Do any of you like spicy food?

 

[PenWorks]

I will bring a pasta salad if that works

 

[vick]

so far we have
Kevin - for beverages
Anthony - for pasta salad
Robert - for hot dogs
I think Bev said she was bringing a cake.

 

[dubdrvrkev]

I was going to make some "tuna boats" also if anyone will eat them. They are basically jalapenos, tuna and cheese. So if you like peppers they're good but a little warm.

I will stick to the hot dogs, I don't like tuna.

 

[PenWorks]

I'm with Mike, dogs are fine []

 

[airrat]

Kev I will try anything.

I can bring a "Taco" salad.(not the taco bell one)

Cant wait to see what goodies you have.

 

[PenWorks]

Just checkin in if Don & Bev are coming ?? If so, I will bring my snake oil supplies []

 

[airrat]

Anthony I believe Bev is. I sent her directions and she was going to bring a cake.

 

[PenWorks]

Getting close to last call......
Do we have any kind of head count ???

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Tom may have a better idea of who has asked him for directions.
People that I know of are:
Me[]
Anthony
Mike
Bev
Tom
Robert

Anybody else?

 

[vick]

I did not get much response on the "Food" post.
As far as I know people that confirmed they were in were

Tom and his brother
Kevin
Anthony

Some others had said they were coming earlier but I have not seen them respond in the last week. If you are planning on coming how about posting to let us know.

 

[PenWorks]
