Damn, I wish I could be there! Have a great meet Pierre, and take tons of pictures everyone. It sounds like it will be fantastic.

Tell you what. With all the people coming to Quebec, including Karyn, Jillbeans, Kissy and Suelynn, I just know I'll have some new material. Hope my heart can stand all the excitement.
Come on Kelly! It's only money. In 20 years, you'll just remember the fun.

You guys picked one heck of a meet for the first one. That initiation is rough. If they will do what they did to an old dame like me, you're in big trouble!
Good luck Pierre I know it is going to be great and wish I could make it.

I'll be there about 6:30 Friday ... in spirit. When I first saw this meet announced, I thought, this one I'm gonna get to ... not a bad drive with family to visit in between. Was trying to plan it as part of a family vacation ... didn't work out that way. Even if it's on head tv I'll miss that too, being stuck in Yankee Stadium ... at least my son will see the pinstripes he wants to see. Seeing you all so excited makes me even more jealous ... I'm positive it will be a great time ... in my head I'll be there. Please take lots of project pictures.
Bruce, how big is the big ol' yardstick .... 3 feet? I thought the new thing was to shave newbies bald and stripe their heads ... but looks as though Mario's shaved a larger canvas for you guys already hahaha

I'll be sneaking across the border by land sometime Thursday afternoon. Only a 5 hour drive from here according to Mapquest, so I'm hoping to get there at around 7PM or so.
Can I be in charge of initiation? I have some really cool marlsticks and I'm not afraid to use them! SNIKT!

Pam, Bonnie, Matt & I are all staying at the same place as you, Karyn. The shuttle will be handy... now all we have to do is decide who's driving who's car! I voted we should take a train there...so nobody has to drive, and we can all just relax and enjoy the whole trip/weekend. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hey Hedz... I'm using Catherine's name cuz I'm AT HER HOUSE, bay-bee! Woo Hoo! Scotland is so cool! (I hate flying tho) I am on the first leg of our journey to Quebec, via Signology in Cork. First, we're going to Inverness & Loch Ness, then on to London for the Jack The Ripper tour, then Stonhenge, Bath, Cork, Mars, & finally Pierre's place, I'm stayin at the Quality Suites with Catherine & Matt the Hat and my 2 rotten kiddos. My first lifetime goal, other than having children, was to see Ireland & Stonhenge. The second was to have an International meet. Altho my life has sucked out loud for the past 2 weeks (4B died, then no power for 4 days)it's pretty damn good at this moment. can't wait to see yins, and no, I think I'll forgo the pink and/or blue do this year. But as a former International Hostess With The Mostess, I feel it is my duty to participate in the initiation. Love- JILL

I was too wired and only got in about 10 hours of sleep during the whole weekend, in Cornwall. I have to rest up now...just so I don't miss anything!!! I can always sleep on the way home.

As some of you recall, I threatened to make this my first meet, & the reasons I still want to are too numerous to mention.
Have a great one everybody, take some good pics for us! Somebody have a Molsen for me OK (make that a pitcher )
I have a rental property that is vacant right now, & I've been doing a lot of remodeling which is almsot done, but I've got to get a new tenant before I could justify the down time at the shop & the travel expenses. Unfortunantly other factors also conspired against this dream
I know I'm missing a great learning opportunity, as well as a chance to meet so many great people. The only bright side is that there seems to be so many great things about all the meets, & I will still be hearing about meets here that will inspire me until I finally drag my but over some ocean to some wonderful far-off land and mingle with you wood-carving, paint-slinging, leaf gilding hot-shot designers & all-around fun folk in person.
till then, although you won't be seeing me at FKAB, allow me to show off my work that you will be seeing... It will be part of that FKAB logo panel, right there next to the work of some real veterans, but here is my very first carving job, & my second gild (after the panel swap)

Lets all PRAY FOR A MIRACAL!!!!!! (This Post WILL NOT be edited for sp!!!)
