BBQ done, up next: Red Green build!

Saturday’s last-minute barbecue got quite a turnout — some fingertip tallying came up with 16 members and 25 28 guests over the course of the afternoon. For roughly 45 hours’ advance notice, I’ll call that a success! Thanks to all who dropped in, double thanks to those who brought food or drink, and triple thanks to those who helped clean up. :)

Sunday’s activities are considerably more functional: Advancing (perhaps finishing?) the giant duct-tape statue of Red Green being constructed in the shop. Nick says he’ll be here roughly 10am until “late”.  All are welcome to help, so if you have latent artistic talent in the medium of adhesive tape, or just need something to do for a few hours, swing by, won’t you?

To give you a sense of scale here, the photo at left was taken from Red’s shoulder. When finished, he’ll be too tall to stand up in the shop!
