BBQ will fire up @ 12:30ish with burgers and dogs. We will have some chips, dips, sodas, water, beers on hand as well.  Feel free to bring any other meats, sides, or beverages that you may want.
Be there or be square

UPDATE:  Should be @ 85 tomorrow, so bring your suit to take a dip in the pool if ya wanna. We will have work space in the garage, driveway, back patio. The dining room table will be available for smaller projects (that will be good for anyone allergic to the heat). Will have stickers and buttons for any volunteers that want to help prep some Con Swag.  We can toss in a Star Wars movie, or Star Trek if you prefer, and break out some gaming downstairs (Star Wars Clue, Xwing mini) or console gaming for kids or anyone that wants to chill and socialize.

Seems like there is always a bus in my way, so I think so :) 

There is a MAX stop @ 17th/Holgate down the road also

Well then, I may be able to possibly make that. I'm just down off the Ross island bridge for work and I work Sundays, but if it's that close I can very likely make this event.

We'll be up in the Portland area this day for a softball tournament as is  and we're hoping that games times allow for us to make it to at least some of this. In addition, my sister-in-law (Bobbi) recently purchased some Sandtrooper armor that I picked up for her in Medford a few weeks back. I'm trying to get her there so that I can introduce her to the team and she's also looking for help getting the Sandy trooping. That being said, please roster us tentatively.

1. sure
2. I have goof off, and the greatest adhesive remover, WD40, but I dont know how either of them would react to white TB boots. If nobody has any other ideas, maybe we can test them out on some white vinyl

Hello everyone. I joined this board quite a while ago when I was planning on buying armor. Well, that day finally came and I placed the order for my Anovos armor last week. Even though I do not have any armor to build, I would love to come (if I can break free that weekend) and see some examples of what I am looking forward to.

Sure David, come on over!  I think it will be beneficial to see the product and talk to the many people that have completed builds as well as others that are in process.
