I had a great time meeting everyone and learning some new things. So glad my shop worked out. I'm looking forward to the next one which should be even better with the ideas we got from this one. Thanks to everybody who came especially the out of town guys.

Does anyone know of anything like this being planned in the Southeast Minnesota area? I would be in for sure if there was.

I just got home from Al's place and have to say what a great get together! All of you guys should consider just picking a day, post it and get a few guys together! It's great The amount of info that was exchanged in a day was amazing. There were several different experience levels their, but I think that everyone learned something!
Give it a shot, you won't regret it!!!

I'm glad to hear you guys had a great time. Considering this was put together spur of the moment with very little planning - it's great to see it turned out so well. I hope everyone made a mess out of Al's place, I forgot to tell him that's one of the NERBs rituals is to totally trash the host's shop, lol!!
