I thought we should start planning this one a little early..

Some things we should talk about:

1 or 2 days ??? it seems 1 day is just too fast so I am wondering how many would like to do Sat and Sun

Thinking since we had the Spring meet a little later than normal, we should do Oct or late Sept this year

Are we thinking Sushi.com again for Sunday lunch/dinner they like us, and we liked them

Putting up a poll for the weekends in Oct and Sept 30th and will just use the Sunday date as a reference and we can change it to Sat and Sun if we have enough people that want to do two days...

Another thought that came to mind after the success of the Spring "Shop" meet with Gerrit, and Mark aka Speedster coming up to my place and hanging out while I built his Custom is a "Shop" option for the first day, just a thought if there is interest.. I think I can coax the wife into it :p

Somebody else needs to invite the guys from B&B and Artisan shaving this time, early enough for them to come if they want to, I realize that some of those guys hate SRP but there are still SR guys over there that probably would love a chance to learn stuff... I will post at TSD, R&S, and SFM, myself


More ideas??????

post them up

I'm good (as far as I know right now) with whatever dates get set. I can put a note over at B&B. I haven't even heard of the Artisan site till now so... Anywho. I'll keep in touch.

One down. We'll see if anyone's interested

Two days and a shop event sounds incredible. Count me in. I'll be sure to coax my cow-orkers Brian, Joshua and Trevor to attend (2 SR shavers and 1 DE). They won't have that whole family excuse to keep them from coming since they are local. For now, I'm flexible on dates. Hmmm? :shrug:

I like 2 day meets. I like the idea of shop meets as well. It really doesn't matter to me regarding dates, I don't know my schedule yet.

I have voted for the weekend of Oct 21. The 2 day meet sounds fantastic and a trip to Glen's is what I was hoping for. Saturday at Glen's and Sunday at Sushi.com?

Two days sound great to me and would love the shop day also.
Glenn

I like the idea of a 2-day get-together. The only week-end I'm sure that I can't make is
Oct 7th. As far as location goes, due to an aversion to commercial aviation, I prefer a place
that is served by Amtrak. (ie Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Sand Point)

Right now I am thinking Sat 13th and Sun 14th I will be in Colorado the last week of Sept so that gives me time to get home relax and get ready for some more fun,

g

I'm in. 13-14th (any of those dates) are good as my schedule is not yet set in stone.

I'm definitely down for Oct 13th & 14th. Sure is odd to be thinking of fall on this first day of summer, but I can't wait! ;)

Hey Glen,

As far as I can see you can count Connor and me in for both days!:tu

Oct is looking better for me as well. I'm not sure though as things aren't quite working out so hot right now with finances but I'm still gonig to see what I can to at least make the Sunday at Sushi.com.

Wish me luck,
Horn

OK I reread and at this point I could do a 2 day meet any of those weekends. Oct. 13 and 14 look to be the popular ones at this point. I will mark it off on my calendar.

Glen, I could drag along an old Shop Smith if it would help.

Jeff

Oh. I guess the 7th look just as popular. Either way works.

Well, I've never been that far North, sounds like a great reason to go. donv

I like all the Oct. dates. I was supposed to hook up with hornm but for the last meet in Yakima but he had something come up. I should have my truck fixed and be able to car pool from the Portland, OR area if anyone wants too..

Not sure how school is looking for me, but Spokane is super close for me in Pullman... I'm sure I can make it! I hope you guys won't mind a 24 year old crashing a party and learning some stuff!

When you stop learning in when you begin to die.

Are we definite on the dates of 13/14 or 6/7?
How are the camping options up by you G?

Hello all NW gents & ladies,
I was also wondering if it has been decided which weekend to have the meet up. I am 95% sure I can make both days. I think hornm may be car pooling with me. Also trying to get in touch with pink lather and see if he is interested.

For sure Sun the 14th at Sushi.com again..

Saturday the 13th is still up in the air for the shop day,

God willin' and the creek don't rise, I'll be there!!! I would be a nice drive, and I know a gal along the way!!

Hey Glen! Connor and I will try to make the Sunday meet! As you know things have changed here!:banghead: I really hope that we can pull it off!!!:shrug:

Glen, it's time that Susan and I made motel reservations for the upcoming get-together. We will be driving over from Montana on Friday night and need to know if we will be attending the first part of the event in the Sandpoint area or should we book a room in Spokane and enjoy a one-day meet-up at Sushi.com? I hate to push you on this issue, but we are on somewhat of a tight schedule and need to make plans accordingly. I hope that we will be able to enjoy some time at your abode. I learned so much at last year's get together and would love to talk to more people about more things...a "shop" setting is perfect for circulating around and visiting with everyone. Thank you in advance for your efforts at putting on this meet-up.

G,
I think we need to commandeer your shop. (I also need to know about Saturday).

Someone just knock on Robs door before they leave Portland and drag him up there.

Now to raise some fundage for a road trip!!!

I am very worried that the road will be in a "Repair State",,, Needless to say the Backwoods Brothers Excavation Company (My neighbors) and I do not see eye to eye on this...
So at this point in time, I do not feel comfortable committing to having a shop day :( this debacle has been going on since April 2.. I don't want everyone to rent rooms up here and all of you to be stuck 1/2 mile from the house, dealing with a 12 foot canyon...

Well, that sucks.
Question: how big is your lawn or a near by field and how are the winds up there? We could "borrow" a chopper. Plus, then we could use it to buzz the neighbors! :D
Wow, meds make my mind do funny things!

OK, well I will look into Sunday then. I could bring a mini lathe and buffing adapter, we could have a shop day IN THE RESTAURANT!
:w

Please send these "Meds" maybe they will keep me from doing something rash :p and if not they will be a good Defense Strategy for the court case :rofl2:

Guys: I've put this on the SRP calendar. Good luck with it. Sorry to hear about your road, Glen!

I may have missed it in a post somewhere, but what time are you all meeting at the sushi place?

Geez! I'm really trying to talk myself into going to this! It's a pretty long ride for me, 761 miles. But, I'm not doing anything but sitting on my butt, and I don't have anything planned, AND; I've never been to Washington. The "let's go" is out weighing the "ah, screw it". Might be cheaper to fly, they probably don't let straights in carry on. Driving would be cool, I do know a gal in Walla Walla!!

Well, then, Wubba Wubba!!

Just to warn the west-siders and out-of-staters; if you are sensitive to smoke (especially if traveling through the wenatchee area) bring your inhalers and/or a filter mask. I don't know how things will be by the meet, but my throat and lungs are killing me.

OK Double checked the resevations for Sunday

The place opens at noon so we will be the first ones through the door just like years past..


See everyone Sunday

I hate to say it, but I may not make it. Classes are getting to be a significant drain on my time and energy.
If I don't make it I hope that everyone has a great time and send plenty of pics back!

Bummer,

Don’t spread yourself to thin.
