hey kids,

finally back and internets connected...

as previously mentioned http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=42340&start=0 , my partner 'miss magpie' and I would love to host a toy surgeon meetup at our new studio in oakland.

anyone and everyone with work in progress to share are encouraged to attend. i would also suggest hitting any one of the excellent chinese dining facilities nearby afterwards. our swanky sweatshop is conveniently located 3 blocks from 880, as well as the lake merritt BART.

i generally work nights and weekends (stupid entertainment business!), but i can easily schedule off a weekday with some notice...

please suggest some dates/times for june if you are interested !

cheers,
a

Im down. not sure when. Im going to be unemployed soon, so my schedule will more free.

excellent start...

invite expanded to include customs and whatnot...let's see 'em, kids.

last call to try and get something together...

somehow ended up with 6/24-6/29 off from work, so i'll be tinkering at the bench one way or the other.

i realize comicon is probably the priority for most folks coming up, but hey, if you can't go (like us), come celebrate being trapped by the bay!

Yeah man I'm down as soon as SDCC is over!

Im down if I dont have to work. I wont know till sunday. Lets do this, even if its just me you and lee.

it would be cool to hang and learn some new tricks from you guys. i'm down but just not sure when calendars permit.

NICE Kirkland is down!

glad to have you boys on board...!

unfortunately, i've got a gig booked for the last 2 weeks of july, so i'll propose 8/4 or 8/5 since most folks are off on the weekend. but that gives y'all a breather after comicon.

please yay or nay asap, so i can schedule the day off.

cheers!

I will be out of town that weekend. Maybe the following weekend? Or week day?

that'd be saturday 8/11, i certainly don't have any plans that far out.

if it needs to be on the weekend, then sure. certainly gives me a chance to get some more stuff wrapped up by then...

Sounds good to me

sunday july 29th just opened up for me, so that or saturday august 11th, kids.

vote early and often...

I really would love to make it the 29th but Im not sure if I will be working. My job will be closing on the 31st . I wont know for a week or so. Ill keep ya updated

...aaaaaaand i just lost my availability for the 29th. getting really fed up with my day job, but that's another thread.

ANYWAYS, i would really like to pull this together if i can, guys. hopefully comicon hangovers are subsiding...

i've got 8/4 and 8/11 open, but i'll need to turn down a shift for either with my office asap-like to hold them. input, please!

8/11 works for me. I will be out of town on 8/4

i just declined my gig for 8/11, there was no way i was going to be driving around golden gate park during outside lands.

Lee is out of town that weekend, sadly...but it's open for me right now.

i'll humbly suggest 2pm for meetup time... that'd put us around 5 or 6 for dinner after.

since attendance is looking dubious, i'm going to invite a couple other sculptors who aren't in the toy biz specifically.

onward!
