YES! I would be there, I would bring my Gear and I'm willing to help organize before & during the event.

Stevtt · Jul 13, 2011 at 8:07 PM

I'm in. I'll give a hand too if you need it

DannyB · Jul 13, 2011 at 8:43 PM

OK. That makes three of us; two beer drinking guys who cast votes without a quorum and one guy who reads bylaws, or at least makes them up. What a start we have.

Stevtt · Jul 13, 2011 at 8:56 PM

Actually, I think there have been countries start about the same way.

fatcat28037 · Jul 13, 2011 at 9:29 PM

Who's the Bylaw Guy?

gates_2 · Jul 13, 2011 at 9:44 PM

let me know the date- if i'm not a slave in the hospital, I'll stop on by! sounds fun

NapalmK · Jul 13, 2011 at 9:50 PM

I'd definitely be interested. If the date works out I'll bring a bunch of my gear along!

DannyB · Jul 13, 2011 at 10:38 PM

"Slave in a hospital"

Hmmm, that doesn't sound good. Well, if you need a doctor's note to be able to come to the meet I think that can be arranged.

iamthecheese · Jul 13, 2011 at 10:44 PM

I WILL ATTEND ONE OF THESE ONE DAY.

I missed the last two due to school...someday...someday.

Super MANSKITO · Jul 14, 2011 at 12:01 AM

ThermL · Jul 14, 2011 at 3:38 AM

My friend and I would attend this if you decide to host it. The last CanFest was an awesome experience for us and was very enjoyable overall.

fatcat28037 · Jul 14, 2011 at 8:25 PM

For a meet to be sucessful as many Head-fiers as possible need to bring their gear. It's what meet are all about, sharing your gear so we all get to hear new stuff.
