T Tiki-Kate Member Yucaipa, CA Joined: Sep 21, 2003 Posts: 1700	T Tiki-Kate Posted posted on Sun, Apr 6, 2008 1:45 PM I've been doing some carving today. I decided that I'm not allowed to have more than 4 large projects going at the same time. I'm hoping to get 2 of my 4 large items done before the next Chop. I've got so many ideas swimming around in my head, I think I'll need to start a sketch book to keep track of them. (It's a pity that I can't draw either.) I'll be there bright and early, Bill. That is, if I survive the Parking Lot Sale.

Oh please carve a frame. I think that's something that most of us have never seen. Everybody just does their own thing at the Chops. Zaya does her wood burning. Some people work with concrete or clay or resin. Last month Kenny did some painting...

Like Kate said, we're getting more people doing other stuff, and it's a great thing. ANY art that fits on TC, is welcome at the chops. It's a gathering of artistic folk, who get inspired off of seeing what everyone else is creating.

Guys, I'll be donating a mask to the Devil Dolls Motorcycle club for a burn center benefit they're putting on and if anyone else is interested in helping out, that would be great. Read about the benefit at http://www.devildollsmc.org , in the May section of their calendar. This benefit will help send adolescent victims of severe burns to a week long summer camp. The benefit will be held at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, on May 18th, if anyone in the bay area would like to attend.

Which regulars will we have in attendance on Saturday? I hate to miss some of you that are frequent contributors.. For old-school regulars, me, Kate, Bill (4WDTiki), Babalu, Buzzy and Zaya all look like we'll be there. For Clysdalle, Bowana maybe you can catch up with them later. Dunno about Cammo, he normally shows up for short periods of time if he can. Mr. NoNaMe? We also have some newer regulars you should talk to, it sounds like Billy is coming, too bad about Cannibal Sam, but maybe pops would be there. I think some of the newer people would be neat to talk to - how they found us and why they started coming and what they've learned might be pretty cool. There's also "support staff" Bill's wife Lennie is an awesome hostess and feeds us (and maybe she'll carve this month!) and my parents make musubi and other food for us. And sorry to whoever I forgot!

Yo Dav! I cannot thank you enough for all the help and continued guidance you provide for me. With that, it pains me to ask of you another favor. Pretty please on this one: I responded to this job offer I saw on Craigslist a while back: Sculptor/Mold maker I really need some quick cash right now and figured you could help me get my foot in the door at this place. Since I'm horribly underqualified for every job requirement they asked for, I used your resume from your website and just substituted my name for yours and sent it in. They just emailed me that they want to do a follow up interview because they are really impressed with my qualifications. I said that I hurt my knee doing extreme sports over the weekend, and asked to conduct the interview over the phone. I gave them your phone number and they'll be calling tomorrow around 2pm. This should be a slam dunk for you, so thanks in advance for pretending to be me for a while. I figure I'll get at least a couple days pay out of them before they figure out what's up and fire me, and for this, I once again thank you in advance. Buzzy Out!
