In partnership with Phil Ghi ( www.ghisign.com ) we'll be holding a small meet called the "Brush And Blade Express"
on March 27-29. The shop is located in NW CT on rt 7 at the state line between CT and MA in the town of Canaan 06018. If anyone wants to fly in, BDL is your best bet and I can pick you up. Phil is designing a logo with a steam train theme (Lotsa old train history here)......he just returned from Boise's D, Butler workshop so he's pumped!!!
It's a no frills meet and there is no charge.....but donations for food are welcome or we can just eat out. I'm gonna have a small workshop on Carving/Moldmaking/Casting and a few demos are planned as well. We're open to suggestions.
NO PAPERWORK!!! Just email me... jcieslowski@snet.net and tell me you are comming.
I'll post the logo and lodging info this week.
That's it for now.....hope you can make it!
Joe

Re: "Brush and Blade Express" meet on March 27-29
For those still making plans to get to the meet, here are a few places to stay in Great Barrington MA.
I did an http://www.orbitz.com search ....
Monument mountain Hotel $63
Days Inn Gt. Barrington $75
Travel Lodge Grt. Barrington $63
Local lodging is in B&B's which are pretty pricy!
If you have a camper, you can use the parking lot at the shop.
Looks like we'll have about 25 to 30 folks.
Should be a good time.
Hope to meet you there!
