New Info:
Looks like we've decided on the 13th at Bill's in Oceanside. Please PM me or 4WDTiki if you need directions. RVSP on the thread, let everyone know if you can bring some food or drink to share.
Old Info:
Looks like we've got a couple of options for the October Chop. The dates and locations that look best now are October 6th or 7th at my house in Tierrasanta, or we can do the 13th or 14th at Bill's in Oceanside.
Chime in if you have a preference and we'll try to pick what's best for the most people.

I vote Mieko's, and Bill's (or Babalu's?) in November.
Here's the other question - should we have a pumpkin chop - the first weekend is kind of early for Halloween - or do a Witco chop?
A Witco Chop is where anybody who wants to jump in does a Witco sculpture as fast as they can, and we turn it into a original mid-century hangable or freestanding piece of art using the genuine patented Witco process in 15 minutes flat.
I've been told to use 'white cedar' and I want to make a Clama. With knots for eyes. Making a mask (a Tiki Head) direct from the Witco catalogue and framing it is always an original thought. Nobody's done that before.
Was Witco sandblasted, or burn and wire scraped?
Do we oil the final, or stain and poly it?
I was wondering, does Svengod's book actually describe the process?

The 7th and the 14th are the only days I can do. I have to work on the 6th and the 13th.

Wished I could make Oct...who knows, maybe something will fall out for me and I'll be able to show...it's just to soon to tell right now.
Witco. Well, you know my guess...I think the stuff was hit quickly with a sand blaster. I might get shot for saying this, but I'm not a huge Witco fan...some of it I like...I mean if someone were going to recreate the King's Jungle Room in my house, I wouldn't object. Some of the kitty stuff makes me dizzy.
Speaking of kitties, it's my wife movie pic night...which means some kind of "girl and her kitty" kind of thing. I feel dizzy.

Both! You guys are nuts!!
Are other people interested in having 2 chops? 7th at my house for those who need a Sunday, 13th at Bill's for people who can do Saturdays?
People can show up to either or both as they desire?

Mebbe that's a good idea. Saturdays are best for me.
We've already had mini-chops like the Hot Rod under the Nut Trees show, why not two come as you can ones?

Hey guys. Looks like I'm the only person with the Saturday conflict. I might be able to swing a half day and get there by noon, but please don't try to schedule around my restrictions.

Sounds like the 13th will be better for an official chop at Bill's house in O'side!
If anyone is interested in a non-official mini-chop at my house on Sunday, lemme know. Especially if they might want to help me move a big heavy TV down from my upstairs room.
