ok so tazzman and myself and electrathon met this morning for breakfast and had a very nice discussion about the direction of things to come. I guess we can call this the first meeting of POLAC (portland oregon leather artisans co-op) after breakfast, we all headed over to the Tandy leather factory for a little shopping and found ourselves in a discussion about all sorts of things including the quality of leather, and lacing, and quality of products from companies, and even a little bit about hidecrafters. it was good to get together in an informal kind of way, since usually when i see either of these 2 guys, its from behind the register.I hope this is a sign of things to come, and look forward to getting together agian, maybe in a few weeks, and start planning on things to do for workshops and how to promote the guild to entice new members. if anyone else from LW.net is in the portland oregon area, we extend an offer to you to join us next time, for some good times, great conversation, and chances to learn from each other.
