Headsup! - Trackrock Hammer-in, Fall 2009

Not trying to glaze over the Summer Guild Meeting - always a great time at Little Brother's.
Yeah, probably be a little forging in the mix somewhere so don't miss it. Bring your purty knives......the press will be in attendance (I hear).

Trackrock Hammer-in will be the weekend of September 25, 26.
Formal announcement with details will be coming forthwith (once I get home from my travels).

Yeah, Randy's got other obligations that take precedent.
Try to get by to see you this afternoon Dad, 'pends on what RLo and I have to shake down to get things set for the weekend. We will see you.

Great to hear Jared. Glad you can make it. Your girlfriend is welcome to give the hammer a try (if she hasn't already).
