I have emailed each of the
confirmed Khukri knuts my name, address, phones, maps and a copy of my rap sheet. If you are intending to come to the 2005 Mid West Khukri Khonvention...you'd better let me know soon!
First arrivals will be Friday night...perhaps all. I figure we can do a dinner out like we did last year 5 minutes from the house and then return for movies, a fire, knifetalk, swapping lies and refreshments.
Saturday morning, it's time for the Blem Box to come out (we will draw names for sharking order like last year as it seeemed to work well), then head for the garage and or yard to hit the machines. We can hold our chopping contests when we feel like it or catch something not moving.
Brian will be doing a leather demo...
Hollow will be feeding us breakfast Saturday and helping with regripping...
Satori will be showing us very effective if not pretty sword form...
RoadRunner will be telling us how many days until he is a free man...
Tom Linton will be providing oil (it's actually already here, left over from last year)...
I will offer any assistance on the grinding and buffing that I can. I also know just enough about filework to be dangerous.
Same rules as last year..no drinking while power tools are running or with blades longer then the distance to the guy next to you.
Camping outside, inside, whatever...facilities and a shower are available, me casa es su casa. This year at least I have a place to burn the scraps!
BTW, interest has been shown for two off topic things...a hike/stroll through the local state park (small and pretty with neat stuff) and the
NATIONAL Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB where I work. Don't be surprised if the group talks about doing either at some point!
Be safe getting here...
