Hey Gang,

I just recently moved back home to Olympia, WA from Montana, and am looking to connect with luthiers in the South Puget Sound area. Would love to get together and talk shop, trade ideas, and maybe enjoy a few adult beverages.

How many folks in this neck of the woods?

-Mark

Hey Dave,

Very nice. Perhaps we can get together sometime in the not to distant future. I'll send you a PM.

Best,

-Mark

Be sure to go to the GAL conference.

(I'm in Wenatchee, which is pretty isolated from you wet siders, but I do get over from time to time)

Hey Freeman,

Yep, been to a couple of them. Unfortunately will be out of town for this one. :cry:

Am really just looking for folks close to Olympia, to socialize with face to face. I haven't lived here for nine years, and didn't start building until a couple of years after I moved to Montana in 2002, so I'm curious as to how many luthiers call the south end of Puget Sound home.

Best,

-Mark

I am in Bonney Lake which is about 45-60 minutes from where you are. However, I am just building the jigs I will need to make my first guitar so I wouldn't be of much help to talk guitar building at this point. That having been said I would love to get together and chat.

Hi Mark,
I am in the Lake Tapps area about 40 minutes from Olympia and am in Lacey every week. I am in my 5th and 6th build now. Would love to get together and talk guitars.

I am in the Yakima area but visit my kids in Seattle fairly often. I would like to get together sometime also.

Sounds like perhaps we could get together for lunch some weekend? Eat some food, talk guitars?

I can actually meet during the week, for the time being also, if that is a more viable option.

Just a reminder -- we're hosting a get-together/party at the Sound Guitar workshop on Tuesday night before the GAL Convention. All are welcome! (Though a rsvp would be appreciated.)

Cheers!
