Did you find some place to stay Tbob? Or are you still looking?

By "we" you mean "me" right? :roll:

I guess Jamie is going to TOC instead of here so I have a hide-a-bed I am planning on clearing some floor space. I am planning on offering space to T-Bob, Kevin and Sasuke. They need to bring sleeping bags, towels and whatever else they think they might need.

Any others will probably have to look elsewhere. (you know Sheboygan is only an hour or so away Randall)

I Sent T-Bob an e-mail with my phone number and I'll do the same for Sasuke.

GUYS!! Our home computer crashed. T-Bob isn't getting your e-mail. He's driving up tomorrow am, maybe you can catch him there.

Gotcha, that's why I also sent you a private message. I figured as his wife you probably knew how to contact him.

Just got back from an extremely grueling East coast trip. 17.5 hours on the road today, alone.

I will be there.. look for me to arrive around 1-2 PM-ish.

Need some sleep and I have some honey-dos to complete before I can get out of the house tomorrow. Something about spending time with my wife and daughter who I have not seen since this time last week.

BTW: driving home from New Hampshire in one shot kind of sucks..... I am much better now, though. :shock:

I have space available, but the people I knew needed space was south of Milwaukee. As Sasuke is from MN, my house might have been a better place to crash. I've got 2 Full Futons and couch space, Towels and blankets.

I hope everyone gets home safe and had a good time.

If at all possible, I'd like to know what you liked, and if you disliked anything.

Either here, or in personal email. rmermuys@charter.net

Also, if anyone had some unanswered questions, please email me, I'll see if I can answer them.

It was a great time! Even if I started the day out stuck at a gas station fixing a flat tire, and none of the bolts on the spare would come loose! I had to call several friends before Sir Daffad came to the rescue [not that the others, like Val, wouldn't

]

We had around 40-50 attend. And no one got hurt!

I hope Aaron and I were able to inspire everyone that came.

Hope to see everyone again at the next Mid-Wess Armourers Guild Meeting.

I missed the morning's sessions, unfortunately. However, the rest of the day was extremely informative. Excellent information.

We will try to get the videos up on a website as soon as possible. I am sure the raising segment will go over quite well.

I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the "Milwaukee Crew" for their hospitality. Cad's shop is outstanding! Where does he get those wonderful toys?!

There were a good number of familiar faces as well as a number of new ones.

The treasury now has $160.00 in donations! All donations were very appreciated. They will be put to good use. We will get together and come up with ways to benefit the masses, most likely a good website.

Which wonderful toys?

Specifically...

The giant rotary tool... that was pretty sweet!

Sasuke · Post by **Sasuke** » Sun Apr 04, 2004 8:04 pm

I had a very fun time. I learned tons and I can't wait to try out some new ideas. Very cool to finally meet fellow archivers.
Definitely worth the drive and I hope to attend the next one.

Heh, that tool was obtained I belive through auction, originally by Master Charles Oakley, and Cad has to make him some armour for it, we were coming back from Lilies last Year, and we got this idea to swing by and pick it up for Cad.

It needed a bit of work as it was all painted shut (Motor Tension and gaurds) and now the collet is stripped out. We'll figure out how to fix it and get it back up and running.
