Ever had a repairman at that event? If not, would you want one?
Tim West, but you would be most welcome, plus you can help me keep all the whippersnappers in line.
Cool. Please pencil me in, then. :D It sounds like fun... like Chicago minus all the walking, bazillion tables, and crappy food. :mrgreen:

As for the whippersnappers, you're on your own. Too many Yetis, Sasquatches, and Ostrogoths among 'em. And have you seen Little Bill? No thanks. :lol:

I'm definitely in. I'll be attending as a student/noob to learn as much as I can. Thanks for this great opportunity.

When will you have an itinerary of activities for each day (in general terms such as start time etc.)? I'd like to reserve some flights as soon as possible.

Anything going on Friday night?


Edit: I'll be there both days.

Barring a trip to Nicaragua, I will be there. Premal, I will bring samples of DE Pipe tobacco for the event. If you want to run specials on it, i will bring swag, if not I will at the least have samples. If there was a category for worst pipe, I would bring most of what I have made thus far.

If I scrounge up some loot for a plane ticket would anyone let me split a hotel room with them? I don't snore! :mrgreen:

I'm really looking forward to attending this year.

I am willing to split a hotel room with someone on Saturday night but, I warn you, I have been told that I do snore.

In case anyone is still looking for accommodations, I recommend booking a room at the Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel. It looks incredibly clean and secure, is very well reviewed, and is about a half mile walk from Smoker's Haven.

Here's the site: http://www.wayfaringbuckeye.com/

They have 3 and 5 bed dorm room set ups. If you need a nice place to stay that's close to the shop for less than $60 for two nights, I doubt you'll beat this.

Nate, Jessie, and I have booked a 3 bedroom already and there still appear to be a few available. Bunk up, fellas!
