a plate coating question

[dpurdy]

I'm in too, and the coast in August is a cool place to go. However I need to get some plates made and used to be part of the group.
Is dwross Denise?

OK - I'm in, Denise. Perhaps in Portland would give a better turnout? I can host.

Kirk,
I was hoping you'd offer! Portland is a great place to kick off. If it were a Saturday, those who were interested in more could wonder over here to Newport on Sunday for an informal workshop/demo and some plate exposures at the docks.

I say we call this a go. Whether we are a few or a crowd, it'll be fun and informative. Unbeatable combination.

Dennis:

Nice to meet you. Yup, 'd' is Denise.

Good luck with your plates. August should give you enough time. But, I hope our little embryonic event will attract folks who are still in the "Definitely Interested (but not cooking yet)" stage. It's not like any of us are old, practiced hands - yet! I'd like to see that change over the next couple of years.

OK, all you Oregon (and neighbors) dry plate fans. We're calling for the 1st Annual Oregon Dry Plate Party on the weekend of August 9-10, either split between Portland (Saturday) and Newport (Sunday) or both days in Newport. This is still in the beginning planning stages, so the details are embryonic. It may turn out that the sessions are split over different weekends. I can see advantages either way.

I'll post more details by the first of July. In the meantime, give it some thought and weigh in on what you'd like to see. Whether we are two or twenty, I'm looking forward to a great time.

Denise - I'll start a new thread so people can find this info.
