We'll be there, God willing and the creeks don't rise. Last year was a very special time for us -- so many good folks, great party put on by the C-Dory folks, super place to stay (we just saw Linda a few days ago, and gave her another hug of thanks) -- couldn't be better (unless Mr. Fisherman shows up). Sign us up for a motel room, just like last year, with whatever Linda finds -- she's great! We'd like one of those two bedroom suites with the little kitchen. And sign up that Rana Verde with us to share the room. Every time El hugs that Green Frog he turns into a Prince.
Thanks for all the organizing work, Roger, and for the offer of another great party, Jeff.

This is really shaping up nicely! I assume the factory shindig is Saturday evening, January 14th?

Patty here. Am I allowed to go to the boat show, Pat? Or am I confined to party activities only?

This sounds like a real gathering, I missed last years and I would also like to join in on the fun and hear some fish stories.

Roger, Would it be possible to get a room for Saturday night ???
Jim, Work Release

Anybody doing a C-Brat Collage for display at the SBS?

We will have the largest display ever at this years Seattle Boat Show. We have just about worn out the collage from a couple of years ago and would love a new one. I would be happy to cover any expenses involved.

Roger, I still have the C-brats photo album that you let me borrow last year. It has traveled around the country with me to different boat shows.

OK, guys - the challenge is ON...Nerds, may we have a folder for collage entries?

Sure thing, Pat. The 2006 SBSCBGT album is at the top of the Cruises and Events album list, and maybe in a minute or two it will be linked to the Event Signup list. Maybe not. Probably, though.

This is cool. Thanks, Jeff. Thanks, Pat.

OK, here is my entry...it is a 4' x 5' collage, guess I can take to Kinko's to print it...Oh, crap, I see I used one of the Chespeake pix twice (Halcyon and the workboat), guess I really liked that one - fix it tomorrow, but you get the idea...

I used Freehand ...exported to a JPG for this post, probably either export to Photoshop or a high res TIF burned to a CD to get it printed...you can probably do exactly the same thing with half a dozen programs, like Photoshop, Illustrator, and more than likely Corel Draw...

OK, as was pointed out to me, my collage had no 'tweeners (CD19s). And I had a duplicate pic, so now there is a CD19 in the upper right hand corner. I did this 4' x 5', which is probably WAY too big...what is a reasonable size for a collage? 2' x 3'? 3' x 4'?
