[ChefKnivesToGo]

If you're just reading this for the first time we're having a CKTG Party/Show in Chicago on September 16th from 1-4pm at the Westin River North.

4 of our Blacksmiths are coming from Japan to the event. Yu Kurosaki, Yoshimi Kato, Kazuo Nomura and Takayuki Shibata.

In addition, several knife makers from the US will be attending including, Carter Hopkins, Marko Tsourkan, Tim Johnson, Duy Pham and Isaiah Schroeder.

Also, a number of woodworkers, handle makers and cutting board makers will be coming.

Here is a sign up sheet to let us know if you are coming: ... sp=sharing

[Thin Man]

I am planning on attending.

[Carter]

Planning on it. Coming in Sat lunch, depart Mon late morning....looking at the Hampton near the restaurant.

[Lepus]

I have started a Google spreadsheet and should have something useful this afternoon before I head to work. I can PM it to you, Mark.

[mauichef]

I hope to attend. But need to find some cheaper flights than are available right now. Can you add me as a maybe please.

[LaVieestBelle]

Absolutely. Crashing on my daughter’s sofa...hotel not needed.

[ChefKnivesToGo]

Chip is coming

[datster]

I'm coming ...... believe Rose wants to see the event as well ...... I knew I shouldn't have gotten her into knives, LOL!

[Lepus]

I can easily (and have actually planned to) set this spreadsheet to allow members to list their intent, how far they are in their plans, and their travel dates.

I don't plan to come to this just for one three hour party, so I'm also giving us room to add additional events, both sponsored and not. I don't plan on allowing those to be modified by any Tom, DIck, and Harry, for obvious reasons, so you'd just need to PM me or whoever else has editing access to add something like that.

[Kalaeb]

I am in.

[Jeff B]

I am coming but may reconsider if Mark really is going to be singing.....

[ChefKnivesToGo]

Isaiah is coming. So is Brandon (our other local woodworker).

[ChefKnivesToGo]

Euclides is coming. He's a good customer from Brazil.

[gastro gnome]

I plan to be there. Looking forward to it.

I'm hoping too. There's a ton of weddings I've gotta go to this year, I still need to figure out if there's enough time/vacation days.
