Wa..Wa..Wally,
You know that Linda is good to me when it comes to things like this.

The wedding is for the daughter of an old friend of Linda's from a previous job that she had. I would like to go to the wedding, but,,,,, some things are more important than others :D
 
Looks like I'll be able to make it as well, yay. Will send you an email Wulf, and we can talk about that swage block as well.
 
The registration and waiver form are now available for download from my website.

Once we get closer to the date I'll also put up a map and detailed directions. I'll also be at Blade and will have some forms with me there, so if you make it to the Show please be sure to stop and say hello.
 
All right folks, we have a draft agenda in place. Something for everyone.

Man, how did I miss this before? I'll be checking my schedule (and wallet!) to see if I can make this happen. I hadn't planned on any HI trips until Sept for Ashokan, but the agenda for this looks awesome.

This may sound strange, but: are any women planning to attend. I'm trying to get Donna to go with me -- she is interested in leather work, but she doesn't want to be only woman in a bunch of men.

Well, IG might, but only if you coated the unwitting victim in HT'g relish! :eek:

I may have arranged a carpool for this one, I'll be figuring out some of the details this weekend I hope.
