Hey, sorry the Skinny Dog Crew won't be able to come...next time guys!
Well, this is shaping up to be a "large" CHOP. Lot's of PMs from new choppers that are coming, plus Amy has a crew coming too. If you can't find parking at the end of the cul-de-sac (that's where my house is)...you might have to park down towards the end of the street. It's not that long of a walk...just double park in front of my house, drop your stuff off where ever, and then go down and park.
Amy is actually making some kind of fruit, rum, punch thing? "heh?" Be nice and try it you tiki people. Amy is not big into traditional tiki drinks, but hey, it's going to be fruity and there will be rum in it. Besides that, if your going to booze it up a little tomorrow, it's a BYOB thing. I just polished up the hot dog cart and she is ready for action. I'm supplying the hot dogs, I've got some chip, sodas, waters, plates and stuff like that. If your game for bringing a little pot luck goodie of some kind, you will be loved and adored by all...but it is not necessary.
Amy's got the Mai-Tai knitting and beading club going to post up around this here table...
I set up the 14 foot table for clay and such...
The grass in the back yard has been trampled and is ready for some wood chips. Diane, thanks for bringing the pop-up...I want to put if over top of that distant table there by the door.
The Studio is also ready...
Weather says it will be cloudy...that's nice. Bring a light jacket and some workin' clothes.
Only 4 people out of the 36+ people that are coming wanted me to make a little clay canvas for them....alrighty, 4 it is then. You don't need one of these to play in clay, but if you want one holler now...I'm heading out to the studio to make them. Buzzy, you don't count...you make them faster than I do.
TOMORROW IS GOING TO ROCK!!

Babs, I want to play with some clay, but I just need a lump of clay, not a mug blank.

Babalu, sitting here working, wish i could have made it down, and wish you guys would have a webcam. Hope this grey weather does not intrude on your festivities.
But Hey, i will see you on March 7th, nudge nudge

Great turnout for the Chop, Babalu!
It was nice to meet so many new people, especially Mad Dog Mike who travelled from within 100 ft of hell and didn't even bring his shoes.

P.S. We missed you, Kate!
