I'm thinking that after RMAF we'll be getting into the kit building season as the weather gets colder. I'm also thinking about folks who may have bought our kits some time ago and never completed them. What I propose is we offer one Saturday each month where bottleheads can bring their kits in to Bottleheadquarters here on Bainbridge Is. and get help completing them, troubleshooting any problems with them, hooking them into the system, etc., free of charge except for parts. We can have some tunes rolling upstairs, and hot irons and scopes standing by.

Did I mention that a new brewery with a tasting room is going in next door to us?

Great idea.  Perhaps a general gathering of sorts too.

I think it is a great idea.  Unfortunately, geography makes it a little cost prohibitive to just drop in for the weekend.  If I lived within a few hours, I wouldn't miss it.

I'd be happy to host one for anybody living around Southern Missouri.

Hi Ed,

Yeah just a good old VALVE style get together would be great too. We'll have all of our prototype gear back from RMAF by the end of October, so November would be a good time to plan a get together. I'll start looking at the calendar.

I think it would be great and I know I could benefit and learn a bunch.  But like Randall, for me the geography doesnt work.  I'd take advantage of the offer for sure if it were within even a few hour driving distance. Even if I could afford the airfare, pharmaceuticals are required to get me on a plane and keep me from freaking out :-(
Great idea regardless.

How about a webinar-podcast ( whatever other terminology that applies), once and if they do happen?

I would certainly take advantage of this.  One of my Paramounts is ailing. I would love to get them back into the system.

It sounds like an amazing idea!...   but with the brewery next door, we'll get absolutely nothing done! :)
