Anybody interested in a Missouri area get together? No, you don't have to be from MO, you can drive from Canada if you want to. I am open to any time, other than the last week in October, but I would like to do it sooner.
I am planning on doing it at my little house, but I am open to other possibilities (I live in Sedalia MO, 65301).
I plan on BBQ-ing and or smoking various meats. If only a few folks it's my treat, if more then I will start a collection. There will be booze involved, BYOB of course.
So far, it would be: me, nun2sharp, hi_bud_gl (probably), and... YOU??? 
Just post here if you are interested, and we can get this ball rolling.

I figure everyone can bring a few razors and hones but I could also bring a microscope if that would help. Since I'd be passing through Mexico, I suppose I should bring some tequila as well.
Please keep me posted on this and thanks for the offer! |
Is it a standard scope, or can you hook it up to a computer? I have my PC linked to my HDTV, so we could get some interesting pics on a bigger screen (37") if so.
OK gang we have the following folks in for the get-together. It would be nice if Lynn could stop by, so we will try for October 25, 2008.

Hi_bud_gl
I have a small house, but my wife and I are ready and willing to welcome straight razor fanatics to our humble little home. 
Whoever is in, shoot me a PM and I will send you my full address.
I look forward to talking with you gents (and/or ladies) in person.
This is going to be fun! Take care all.
Before unfortunate rumors begin to spread, I'm looking at you nun2sharp...
I just passed the Boards exam to practice physical therapy. No more classrooms, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks. Schoooool's out for EVAH!!

Thanks,
Lynn

No, sorry, it's just a standard stereo-microscope and does not have a camera tube. I find it to be the handiest thing for honing but its not amenable to photography.

Yeah, if I lived in Portugal, Missouri is certainly the first place I'd want to visit! 
Just to be nosy, what exam did Joe pass?

update coming...update coming...update coming...
I will be posting a general update, and PM'ing everyone who expressed interest in coming out, pretty soon.
Since they opened a nice liquor store in Sedalia, we have access to a greater variety of beers, liquors, wines, cigars etc. than before. Awesome.

OK everyone, I am posting this just to let everyone interested know that I am sending out PM's with my address etc.
If you are interested in coming to the little get together, just let me know and I can send you directions. No big deal either way.
