Jeff: I'll be there too, this will be my fourth. You'll like Alain he's so talented it's scary. I first met him in 2005 at the Grand Masters, as well as Phillip Griffne. I took his class in 2008 as well as Phillip's. This year there will be two Grand Masters classes going on at the same time, so it will be crowded. One of the best parts of the classes is the barbeque and ho-down on the Friday night of the first week. Then the weekend is incredible with all the people that will be there. I've actually even learned something during the week end, and you'll find a lot of people who speak engraving.

TIm, it will be nice to meet you.... Im a jeweler as well and lookd forward to meeting alexander siderov.... I just hope their going to have enough people attend that class.... sounds like they might not.....
I'll be there for the interim weekend with guitar in hand and, perhaps, Sam will have his clawhammer technique down in time for the do. It is a great place to meet people you've only read about on the forum or in engraving books.
And I've a hankerin' for a Coburn burger just thinking about it.
I've been a student at 6 GM events and every one was worth it to me.
I'm planning on attending the weekend this year also---unless they changed the rules.
I really, really want to attend the GM for the Sidorov class but I just can't make it work. Too many conflicts to get away for it. I know that class will be treated to some outstanding techniques.
Jeff: I got this from a little bird, that Jim Blair, Rick Simmons, Dennis Dunaway, and a gentleman from Texas named Johnson, but his first name escapes me right now. Including you, Bruce, and me, makes seven, There will be ten total so who's left?
