[planet10]

Update: Pictures start here: 14th Annual Vancouver Island diyFEST-2017

August 19th in the usual place. (up the mountain in Victoria, BC out in the forest at my place of residence/workplace)

Some people have been making this a weekend long affair so we expect some people to arrive Friday and not leave till Sunday.

People camp, stretch out on the deck, or claim floor space in the living room.

Awesome:

I will put in the calendar and I really hope t make it this year.

Looking forward to seeing Dave, Ruth, Chris and the Audio gang.

 

[SCD]

I think you may need to double check that date?

I will be there any date though.

 

[planet10]

Thanx Scott, fixed.

dave

 

[tuxedocivic]

I'd love to come.

 

[Cal Weldon]

I have missed the last two. Not gonna happen this time. I'll be arriving on the Wednesday before and not gettin' outta your hair for about a week.

Oh and Dave, I'm gonna need your bed. Hope that's ok but I simply can't sleep on the couch for a whole week. I know you understand.

 

[SCD]

Looking forward to seeing the gang. I should be able to make it down Friday.
See you then

 

[Dave R]

I'm hoping to make it again this year. Have tent, will travel. Always look forward to seeing everyone.

 

[KyleinCowichan]

I am afraid that I will be away. I am so glad that it's happening though. I'll be checking in on the forum that day!

[nerdorama]

Just got the all clear so I can come again this year. Will probably car pool with Dave R and TerryO again. Looking forward to it.
John

 

[Cal Weldon]

Oh no, not you guys again.
I might have to bring my lion for protection.

 

[nerdorama]

Oh no. I'm allergic to cats.

 

[tomchr]

Argh! I'll be in Wyoming for the total solar eclipse that weekend. I'd love to attend but have yet to find a solution to that whole being two places at once thing. Next year.

Tom

 

[chrisb]

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all, Mr Danger?

couldn't help the obscure reference to Firesign Theatre

Hope the weather cooperates with your viewing

 

[nerdorama]

Just confirmed ferry reservations for DaveR, TerryO and me so I guess we're coming. See everyone soon.
John

 

[chrisb]

18 more sleeps (or 17 for those camping out Friday evening)

 

[tuxedocivic]

Umm, this is getting close. How have you been doing Dave? Anything I can help with? I have 4 kids at home so hard give much of a helping hand, but I can try. I hope to be there for a few hours on Saturday. Looking forward to see creations.

 

[planet10]

I’m doing fine. This year i don’t get to do much of the clean-up. Chris (and Chris) mostly have been doing heroic work to clean-up

The biggest thing that needs doing is power washubg the decks and aprons. Slowed down by our power washer going MIA during my hospital stay. Chris is probably bringing his Sat.

[tuxedocivic]

I can bring down a crappy electric power sprayer on Saturday, but will have the family with me and sounds like you have that covered. Poor Chris though is probably having a heck of a time 😱

 

[planet10]

crappy electric power sprayer

We find ours sufficient to do the job, but one has to go slow & steady.

If you come i’m sure we can find something for you to do.
