Thread: Asheville NC meetup ; April 26-27th

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.). 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.

The team has put together as of this time:

3 Hone Miesters doing demos 2 times a day each. (Lynn Abrams - Randydance - Utopian) Sunday as well - See Schedule https://www.dropbox.com/s/392e0tp51zhvvpj/Schedule3.xls Be sure to scroll all the way down to see the entire schedule

Restoration demos during the day

Stropping area set up with help (Strops and Razors included) for the newer people wanting to perfect their technique running all day.

Barber hone demos going on during the day and help with using them.

General help and information 1 on 1 all day long

Brush making demos going on during the day.

A microscope station with multiple scopes to check you edges and understand what you are looking for.

And if the SWMBO is coming along, we have an event plan for them also. They will take in such places as the River Arts district. NC. State Arboretum, Biltmore house (For those that want to go) Biltmore village cafe's and browsing.
Please PM me if your other half would like to join the tour group.

Well that is it for now we will keep you updated as we get closer.

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.
