eta on agenda? I can't convince anyone to go without knowing what we may learn?

12 hours of Greaves will be a broad brush from someone that's been printing textiles for more than 35 years. It's at Greg Kitson's shop where he does the best time study work in our industry - even as a small shop compared to jumbo factories with more than 25 presses & 3 shifts.

My insights will cover from womb to tomb. From Sales to collecting the check. Learning to print full color process with wooden screens & camera positives in 1981. Discovering Newman Roller Frames in 1983. The return of printing all-over designs on a hot rodded Arrow MultiPrinter to helping assemble and print on a Chinese belt printer in Australia. Learning to sew & print flags that leads to printing sleeves before they're sewn, setting them on bodies - then printing the finished shirt. Mistakes were made. Lessons learned. Hard to fired 68 people once. Had to have people I liked arrested when they got caught stealing. No cash flow and salaries to pay.

If you need specific targeted information about hurdles & bottlenecks, call me and I can recommend an experiment, technique or product and better ways to spend US$500. Right now I don't have specific promised lessons people can expect to see in the 12 hours scheduled, but I'm very interested in what people are having problems with and what they're hoping for.

Hotel for the Greaves on Garments workshop is asking how many people are planning on staying over Saturday night the 2nd of May?  Our rooming block special rate is for April 30 & May 1st.

Told her I was not sure, any of you planning on staying in Decatur Saturday night May 2nd?

Thanks for the feedback.

(Reservation already made with them for Thursday, Friday and Saturday night... they didn't complain about the $55 rate when I made it.)

I'll likely be staying Saturday night as well, dependent on flight schedule.  Will be booking the flight as soon as I've received registration confirmation and can let you know for sure.

Working on content for Greaves on Garments, should I be looking for a dinner space on Saturday night?

If so it would be pay your way but I will find a space with food, beverage & reasonable ability to talk if enough express an interest in the idea.

Let me know if you are planning on overnighting in the Hoosier State on Saturday the 2nd.

Hotel confirmed the $55++ rate is available.

Richard and Pierre are working on the recording thing, more details from them as it develops.

IF the evaluations show an interest we will schedule a repeat event in October ish, however this decision will not be made until the May workshop concludes.

BTW, the hotel is out of rooms. I just called to book and they do not have any rooms available!

Is there any other hotels in the area?
Is there someone who would like to share a room (two beds please)?
