To all:

I am planning to host a pipe makers' meet up at my home in Edmond, OK (a suburb of Oklahoma City), in October of this year. Details and exact date, TBD. I just wanted to get this out for save-the-general-date reasons. Maybe just block off all of October.

Initial thoughts:

Arrive Friday evening. Welcome dinner. Hang. Play in shop.
Saturday morning, start late due to festivities that went late Friday night. Make pipes all day. Have a few pre-arranged training sessions. Generally have a great time.
Sunday morning, brunch and head home.

My shop isn't huge, which is why I'm thinking October: the weather is generally perfect that time of year. I'll just rent a tent for the driveway, and we'll overflow as needed out of the shop.

I'm open to any and all ideas.

There are hotels not too far away.

Anyone interested?

Yep. Maybe you can coax the Batman into coming too.

Yeah !

I would love it, but old age maintenance may not allow it. You know surgeries etc.

yea... that might be doable

I think I could be there.

I forwarded a link to this thread to Quinton Wells, and he said he'd be interested.

I recently visited Oklahoma City for a wedding. I was surprised to find it to be a nice, clean,calm place with a modern down down. The wedding was in Myriad Gardens, designed by IM Pei.
Make time for a visit to the memorial for the bombing. It is a very well done, moving, and solemn experience.
Unfortunately, I cannot afford a return visit this year.

You know that Edmond is a suburb of Oklahoma City, not Portland, right?

Yes! Glad you can come!

Looks like I'll be able to ride down with Quinton after all. (Health permitting, of course.)

Good times!
