Looking good.
Well, I'm not about to give mine away, but I could bring Kevin/hidestoart's awesome strop and demo it, talk about what a great piece of craftsmanship it is, etc. Kevin-If you have any you'd like to sell, I'll be glad to help you promote or advertise. (Sorry I don't look like a bikini model at the car shows, though.:D). Let me know. Aaron
It's all coming together.
I would suggest that if a person wants a pasted striop/linen/felt that they bring the strop and I can provide the abrasives and time.
Good News,
I was able to get another block of 10 rooms at the Crowne Plaze for $104.00 per night. The last block went in less that 6 hours so you may want to move on this if you are coming. When this block is gone, I will not be able to get any more discounted rooms.

Hey Guys
Two valued members of the team are out of town this weekend so I am going to post the directions for the Meet up in my drop box. When Randydance & Warpiper get back I will ask them to put it in the main event drop box to keep all information in 1 place. As the event gets closer please feel free to PM and ask questions. I understand there are still a couple of rooms left at the Crown Plaza & the quality inn.
See Crown Plaza link in post # 185 in this thread for booking.

I'm in and set to go. Glad no wi-fi. Mean's I can leave the laptop at home and not be bothered by work -- and they have been pulling my leash on the weekends as of late.
And maybe people can get away from their cell phone addiction while there, as well.
