I will be unable to attend Woodworking in America 2011

 

I announced the following on Google+ over the weekend:

To everyone attending #WoodworkingInAmerica #WIA:

To all my readers:

It is time share with you that Sandy and I will not be attending Woodworking in America 2011.

Sometimes, priorities get in the way. Heck, that is the reason they are called priorities. We have attended ALL WIA conferences to date. WIA 2011 will be the first we will miss. We regret missing it. But it is going to happen, sooner or later, to others, too.

What I am doing:

In case you wonder what could be more important than WIA 2011, here is the slate:

  1. I am working on becoming a Certified Court Interpreter – LOTS of study, to learn the slang equivalents in both English and Spanish, plus ALL the legal terminology that goes with being a good Court Interpreter.
  2. and
  3. I will take the Written Exam on November 6, 2011, which is not that far away. And I must study like crazy!
  4. I am also hoping that the State of Missouri will offer the 3-day Interpreter Skills Workshop, in late October, in Jefferson City (the State Capital).
  5. I will announce this a bit later, but there IS another big task I am currently focused on. More on this at some point in the future.

I will miss you all – the people, as it IS the people that makes WIA tick!

I will schedule a Google+ hangout, and will announce it here. If anyone reading this knows how to stream and record to LiveStream, please let me know. Thanks!

But isn’t THAT what the Google+ video conferences called Hangouts are for? If we miss attending, maybe we should hold a hangout or two, to show off the technology in Google+ to our fellow woodworkers?

To ALL my woodworking friends:

Go, attend, participate, and have a LOAD of fun! There is NOTHING in the world that can possibly replace Woodworking in America. And, while you are at it, please celebrate because you are there, and maybe even because I am not there 🙂

Enjoy, guys and gals!!!

What about YOU?

  1. Will YOU attend this year’ Woodworking in America later this week?
  2. Or do you also have other things tugging at your sides?
  3. Will you be able attend a hangout on Google+?

In a few weeks, Woodworking in America

 

I don’t think  It is official: The Sindelar Tool Museum will be at Woodworking in America in Cincinnati this year (edited this, as a result of Megan Fitzpatrick’s Comment, below). But I wanted to share this photo of the wagon placed at the entrance to the trailer housing the traveling exhibit:

On the wagon at entrance to the Sindelar traveling museum.

I would love to hear from you:

  • Are YOU planning to attend Woodworking in America this year?
  • If you are, what attracts you most to the conference?
  • Are you yearning to learn new techniques?
  • Or are you going to spend most of your time at the Marketplace?

Woodworking in America 2011 classes and more

Unless you live under a rock, by now you should know that registration for the 2011 Woodworking in America woodworking conference (September 30 to October 2) will open soon. In case you do live under a rock, you are in luck, as you are now reading this! Make sure to register as soon as possible after registration opens, to secure a place. Last year registration filled shortly after opening!

Best thing to do: stay connected, by requesting information directly from the web site dedicated to this year’s event. Simply head on over to the conference site, add your e-mail address to the Stay Connected block, and be among the people to learn the latest, soonest.

To read the official announcement at the Popular Woodworking Magazine web site, click here. For your convenience I attach three documents you can download, read, and print. They are the class descriptions, all the extracurricular events, and the list of exhibitors (click on the links to download, print, and save):
