Given that it's still a month away, I don't have any further details yet. I have yet to contact Volchonok (it's on my list) and the two of us will sort out where in Iowa City it will be. No one has objected to the Nov 6 date so that remains in place. Even if only one person decides to come, we'll still do it and just have a honing lesson, dig through razor boxes, handle some hones, try to kill ourselves with the buffer, eat meat, and drink beer after the sharp stuff is put away.

Needs and wants will probably come up when we get closer to the date.

I'll bring my dremel along for any quick cleaning/polishing.

I just thought I'd let you guys know that this thing is still on for November 6 (and 7th) come hell or high water! I haven't made any further plans for this yet and I'm still digging my basement but no matter what there will be razors, hones, restoration toys, meat (and perhaps other food), and ethanol-based beverages. Randy is definitely coming so that's already a good beginning!

Here is the list from last month.

RandyDance062449
Volchonok
Utopian
NoseWarmer
BKratchmer
Mike Blue
Altshaver (if he can get a ride, finish his thesis, and get a job!)
Joke1176 (if friend is interested)
Nun2sharp (if Sham comes)
Hi_Bud_Gl (if Kelly pressures him enough)
Bruce (if transmission cooperates)
Lynn (if hip cooperates)
LouG
Speckey (only if Milwaukee moves closer to Iowa City)
Hmbbone (if kids cooperate—you are welcome to bring them)
Cam (a local guy who is interested)

Please let me know here or by PM if you still plan to come or if you can bring anyone else along.

I'm still in.

I plan to be there on Nov. 6.

I'm still in...

I'm glad to hear there is still some interest!

For anyone coming a long distance, if you want to spend the night before heading home, you are welcome to do so. Our house is small but we can at least provide some floor space for you and we've got a couch and an air mattress. There are also a lot of cheap motels (~$35) in the area if you'd prefer an actual bed. Sunday the 7th will be a second meet-up day for anyone who'd like more time for anything. I know Randy said he'd be staying for the second day. We'll provide a good breakfast for anyone who wants it.

I'm planning on being there.

Well, I'm very sorry to hear that. Does that mean Kelly is out too?
If you're inviting me to go hunting, be careful! The first time I ever shot a gun was at the MidMO meetup this year and I'll be unemployed by then, so incompetent and p*ssed off might not be a good hunting combination!
