Nipper and I worked yesterday on the different DEMO ideas and this came to mind. With as many guys making brushes this seemed to fit.

We are talking to a member now that does outstanding restoration work. If we can work it out besides the usual pinning session. We hope to have Acrylic work, Blade sanding and polish, Scale Buffing. Pinning, ETC

Sweet!!! I'm going to learn more in 2 days than I have in the past 9 months. Nothing like learning first hand.

I have 48, but I think a few of them are duplicates. A few of the last that sent email I think I had their srp name down as well.

Ok guys it got easier for you to come. My wife "Joyce" has been appointed to be the ladies tour guide for this event. There will be a tour to the North Carolina Arboretum, Biltmore village, Arts District and Biltmore house for those that want to go. So your ladies don't have to sit in the hotel if they don't want to, "Now there is something for them also to do". If your other does not want to go to these places Joyce will be happy to recommend places that may suite their taste better.

Important:
You must PM me directly if you want them to go on these tours or events. Joyce needs to get a head count to work out the logistics of this.

Just tried it - looks like it's $201 a night. Is that right?

No something is wrong, I checked it today and it was working. Let me work on it in the morning with the hotel
I am pulling the link and post Can you please do the same?

This morning it was coming in at $104.00

I just checked with Crown Plaza. The entire 9 room block has been filled up.

There are 10 rooms available ( $75/nite) at the Quality Inn in Arden, NC, just 11 miles south from the Razor Meet. I, Ron & Juxt1 are staying there that I know of. The phone number is 828-684-6688.
address 1 Skyland Inn Drive
Arden, NC 28704

You have to mention the group rate name of "hidestoart" to get the low rate.

My secret helper has told me that the 9 Room block at the Crown Plaza filled up today.
the Quality Inn has 10 left at the $75.00 rate when they are gone I am out of blocks.
This got big real fast and people are jumping on them fast.

As Randy said you must mention Hides To Art for the rate

Wow, this event looks amazing. Sorry that it's been forever since I've posted here, but I currently have a 21 month old AND a three month old. I will chat with my SWMBO and see what I can do to get up there at least for a day. I mean Moose is gonna be there!!!! Oh, and in case you're all wondering, I haven't bought a disposable blade in over two years... Even with two little ones. I've become quite efficient with the single pass shave.
