Maybe not the highest attended event in the 7 year history, but maybe one of the more enthusiastic. I felt like I hurried through my demo, but describing tools and how to sharpen them was pretty tough in 45 minutes. I started doing some more research on polymer clay after watching Bob's demo. I don't think I will start with flowers, but researching Damascus steel and mokome gane patterns. JohnU and Jackie were the first ones to ever have a multi media demo. We got to watch him live and recorded. Made for a wonderful format, and with live comments made about the recording, John could add more information seamlessly. If anyone could use a 55 gallon drum of resin, this is the guy! I had to cut Ed and Gerry short, as information plus the Q&A about marketing was invaluable. Then Terry followed up with 2 great demos on stabilizing and Celtic knot blanks. Water was a nice substitute for Cactus Juice, and the foaming looked the same! Easy cleanup too. We had a lot of compliments on the lunch, and it was nice to have all the food ready at the event. Thanks to Jeff and my friend Mike Duffy, NO ONE went home hungry! Thanks to JohnU, every attendee went home with 3 door prizes and some got 4. That's another record! To all the vendors and IAP friends that sent in the prizes, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! I was too tired to unload the car, but pics of my door prizes will follow. Thanks to everyone that lightened my load of wood blanks for the return trip. Still didn't make an overall dent, but hope you love the wood you bought. Jon from the Flatland Woodturners was recording all day long. It will take some time, but he will edit what he can and videos will be on their Youtube channel soon. I'll let everyone know when that happens.
By overwhelming demand, MPG 2015 will be the second Saturday in April, one week after Easter. Two guys have volunteered demos already, and others have volunteered to build a website and organizational help. So save the date, that's the most notice ever!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone!
