West Coast Gathering! Location input requested

[Matt Jacobs]

I'm about 20 minutes north of Portland but my kid goes to UW so I'm in Seattle often. I'd love to join a meet up.

 

[Matt Jacobs]

If you guys meet up at Bladeshow West in Saltlake City in 5 weeks, i'd join u guys!

I am driving through Salt Lake in October. I may try and make this work. If I can I'll let you know.

I’m about an hour north of San Diego and an hour south of LA. Would love to make something happen if it’s close enough -

JKI is in LA, possibly worthwhile asking @JBroida if that’s an option. There has to be a ton of hotel options with all kinds of price ranges

Speaking of which, if there's enough interest, I can inquire with my work (in Long Beach) how much it would cost for a space (we have several for pretty much all sizes of groups).

Oh hey, what a revival thread! I’m in south Seattle, but would be willing to drive a bit. I can check if there’s a local community center to rent, really depends on what people want to do other than look at knives and stones.

If you all do something in that area our own @lumo is the Chef at a West Hollywood hotel, and the restaurant looks pretty sweet: Cavatina Restaurant | WeHo Restaurant | Sunset Marquis

 

[JBroida]

let me know what/when you guys are thinking... if i can make something work, i will

October is absolutely crazy for me but I’d love to do mid November - 11th/12th or 18th/19th.

After that I start getting crazy again with the holiday season lol

I don't think this would necessarily be a KKF WCG, but David Lisch is hosting a show Sep 14 2024 at his shop. If nothing else this could be an excellent show to get all the west coast people together.

Do you have space available for a meetup?

 

[mattrud]

Following, maybe I come out of the abyss for this if LA or SF.

 

[WildBoar]

Holy heck -- a KKF gathering with Matt?!? That may entice some on the right (correct) coast to fly out there

How does one get a ticket or invite to this event?

My understanding is it is in the VERY early stages so no tickets or invites yet. He has the date set, is currently building some facilities for it and I believe Straub and Burke are confirmed. Possibly others im not aware of

I'll stay tuned but can't commit to anything right now...going under the knife next month and not sure what the recovery time is like.

Hope it's successful and you have a speedy recovery!
