2011 Dixieland meet at Kerry's September 13-18

[Kerry Pinkerton]

Welcome to all three of you. Gando, I'll let Cameron know about the potential reservation. Please let me know as things firm up.

[CARS]

Kerry, Are you having any vendors? Like is Mr.C bringing mallets and tuck pucks?? Someone selling e-wheel anvils or thumbnail dies??? Or are the "distractions" being kept to just shaping activity and bench racing????

[Kerry Pinkerton]

I expect Mr. C will bring his stuff. He did last year. Vendors of metalshaping related stuff are welcome. Bring your own table and tent unless it's really small stuff. I know Barb (Coppretta) will have some of her copper art for sale.

I doubt that Joe Andrews is going to make it so there won't be anyone selling anvils but you can swing by his place on the way back to the frozen north.

Great! CARStoo (Becky) will definitely enjoy seeing Barb's work in person. I've shown some of the posts, but we all know meeting fellow shapers is 200% better than seeing pictures.

[Kerry Pinkerton]

Barb is usually around quite a bit actually making stuff so Becky can get some first hand exposure.

If there are still any spots available, I'm going to try to put a dent in the 30+ days of time off I've accrued and make a trip down for the event. I still have to put in the request at work, but I don't see it getting denied. . .it is somewhat work related after all.

It's been a year (or two?) since I've seen Jeff Newton, and he was nice enough to offer me a place to stay.

It will also be nice to see Rock Hill Will. I've never been able to make it out to his shop due to work obligations, which is a shame, since he's only a few miles away!

We'll squeeze you in Andrew.

Thanks Kerry. I don't take up too much space.

I can also bring a TIG welder if needed. I'd also be happy to weld anything anyone needs, as long as its Stainless, CrMo, Mild Steel, High-Hard Steel or Aluminum.

[Kerry Pinkerton]

Thanks Andrew, we might need the TIG. I'll see if Jeff's Dynasty is buried too deep in his storage unit. Check back closer to the meet.

I sure will and if anyone wants me to show or bring anything in particular let me know by message so I know what tools to bring?
