I’m Jessica Washburn :). I unfortunately can’t stay for Saturday dinner. If a spot opens up for Thursday, I could make it to that. Thanks!

Don't forget we have the thermoforming machine to play with as well. Bring some things that might make interesting molds.

I should have realized that you would bring the thermoformer and gone to a maker lab and put a few things together... maybe next year. Will see what I have lying around instead for this year's thermoforming adventure!

No maker lab for me - I’ve been haunting thrift stores looking for appropriate objects. Only bringing two things - a fish and a little statue thingy.

I saw that you were bringing it and then completely forgot so I'm SOL in that department...

I’m not bringing it - I swapped an EZtemper for one and had it shipped to Rob. 

 

Perhaps that counts as EZtemper sponsorship of the workshop?

Getting ready to hop in the car. I’m bringing my melter, hand tools, paint brushes, sponges, thermometers, an extra heat gun and blender, and a few books. 

 

I don't really know what to expect so I’m not really coming with a plan in mind—just excited to meet you all and geek out   

 

@gfron1, let me know if there’s space for me at dinner tonight (sorry it was so last minute—we’ve had a bunch of family stuff), otherwise I’ll see you all tomorrow!!!

I’ve arrived and can’t wait to meet everyone. 🎉

 

Unfortunately my checked luggage apparently decided to go on a separate holiday, so my melter, tools, clothes, etc are in limbo (apparently it’s not tracked electronically once it comes off the airport’s conveyor system). Hopefully Southwest will find it and deliver it to me tonight - fingers crossed 🤞. Luckily I hand-carried the Control°Freak 😊.

Fingers crossed for your luggage jbates.
