I won't be playing with you kids tomorrow.
If you remember Bob from the Hot Rod chop, he emailed me about attending. Can I give him directions to whoever's house?

Meiko's house...we are set to go on stage at Mieko's house...9:30 am tomorrow.
Birdman - if your picking that clay up today, you may need to pull the blocks out of the bags and let the clay stiffen up a little. Some times it comes real soft...soft is ideal for people that like to throw on a wheel...a little stiffer feel is best for sculpting.
Got a hair dryer Meiko?
We'll miss ya Bill...baton down the hatches.
------------------------------------------
PS: Whoa....check in when you can Birdman...hope she's alright!

I hope she's okay. Keep us posted please.
Not to sound completely mercenary, but do we need another clay source?

I was just about to run out and pick up 100 pounds of clay at my local ceramics store.
That's good news. Glad she's okay, T Bird.

Man, I just don't think the Karma is working for me today, I got a puff of smoke that came out of my steering column on the way over to pick up the clay, and my headlights & wipers were gone! I'm sorry, looks like I'm gonna be spending the weekend getting wet working on an electrical problem! Kate, you have just been handed the baton! Damned weather! Birdman out.

I dub this the "Mission Impossible" Chop!
Where's Barbara Bain and Martin Landau?
Oops - here she is - what ya drinkin', Barb?
And having 100lbs of clay sitting around sounds like fun.

No can do. I'm at home now, and the ceramics store was by my work. Can't get there before they close.
Just called every art supply store near my house, and no one carries clay. Called Blick's in San Diego. All they have in stock is cone 3 and cone 5-10 clay.
What now?

I do hook knife lessons and show people how to cast my resins for me? I'd say we can still get together, but then again with the weather, I wouldn't be surprised if people decide not to get on the road.
Let's keep in touch here though, so if you decide not to come, please un-RSVP so I don't worry about you all day.

Well, Blicks here in Pasadena still has the 3-5 holding for me, I can pick it up with my wifes car and someone going down can get it from my place on the way down. Does that work for anyone? Or is there no one from this area close enough? I'm real sorry for any hassle my circumstances have caused.

Very Cool Sculpt Dave!! Me likie long time!
Okay, plan B...I have about 25 lbs of clay which (if Dave is bringing his own clay) should be enough to go around if everyone is going to do...say, mug size type of things.
So, we are a go for the first "Mission Impossible Mud Slinging Chop"
