NOOOOOO!!!! We just started talking about it before registration to generate excitement…and apparently fear. Registration is expected to open the first week of June.

Is it really true that 2011 WIA is sold out? I attended last year and have heard nothing about the beginning of registration for this years event. I have been looking forward to going all year and am very disappointed.
Are you sure there isn’t just one more space available? I’m not that big and won’t take up much room . . . honest.

Oh . . . I just read up and see that registration doesn’t begin until early June. I anxiously await the day I can sign up. YaPaDaPaDoo!!!

Well that takes care of most of the weekend right there.

But can we have a class on finishing PLEASE?

“Proper application and uses for shellac as a primary finish”

by Mr. Flexner would be an awesome choice.

That was the one thing missing form last year’s WWIA. Not a single course on finishing.

Too bad, because proper finishing is the other half of any woodworking project.

Cheers,

Dean

When will registration take place?
I hope I have not missed it.

I check in often and have signed up for updates about the conference but I still don’t have any idea.

When I go to the WWIA site it looks like all the classes are full–but then there is something there lingering from last year too–so I’m hoping that the “sorry we’re full” sign that put my heart in my mouth is actually referring to last year’s conference.

These classes all sound fabulous. I don’t want to miss out!

Any help is appreciated,

Karen

You sure listed some great sessions, Chris. My hotel is already booked and am just chomping at the bit for registration to open in early June.

I have seen no reference to our National Treasure, Frank Klausz. I know the list of presenters isn’t final yet, but I’m hoping Frank will be there.

Now this is just not fair.
I had already decided not to go this year as I had seen everything Last year. Now you have to go and list a bunch of stuff that I haven’t seen yet. Interesting stuff. Stuff that I may someday need to know, someday. Hummmm.

Well it will certainly be worth the effort. And since this may be my last chance to attend, I’m sure going to do my best to get there.

It’s going to be a long five months. Can’t wait!
