JLC 2012 in RI

I REALLY wish I was going make the trip again this year from Canada, but sadly I think I will have to skip it this year. I decided to take a drastic change in direction employment wise, so money is tight.

I'll miss my sidekick Kreg! We kidnapped him last year, and I am sure he will attest, fun was had by all! NO PICTURES Kreg!  [scared]

Yes, I heard about that little adventure.  [blink]

Good luck with your new direction, Scott. Maybe we'll see you next year.
 
So, this year we're doing something kind of special for you guys up in the Northeast. Check out the details that follow and register to attend at http://www.festoolusa.com/connect.

Let's get together in Providence!

Register to attend Festool Connect at JLC Live in Providence, Rhode Island on Thursday, March 22nd from 10a-3p ET. This will be a great opportunity for us to, well, connect with you personally away from the hustle and bustle of the JLC Live clinics and exhibits. We want you to be our guest as we host a day of learning, socializing and of course demonstrating several new products that will be introduced in the coming months. This is an exclusive event for Festool enthusiasts only the day before the JLC Live show.

What will I see and do at Festool Connect?

We'll start the day at 10am in the Rotunda Room of the Rhode Island Convention Center with an exclusive 2012 new product showcase. Watch live demonstrations and learn about the features and benefits of several new tools launching the first half of the year, including the PLANEX Drywall Sander. At noon, we'll kick back and enjoy each others company with some time to mingle as we treat you to a nice lunch. In the afternoon, we'll give you a sample of our Festool Training Classes as we cover tools and applications selected by you. Sounds fun, right?!

As appreciation for you registering and attending Festool Connect, you'll get a complimentary lunch, a complimentary JLC Live exhibit hall pass, a free Festool shirt and be entered in a random drawing for a prize. Must be present to win and at least 18 years of age, Festool employees, dealers and affiliates are not eligible to win.

Is that cool or what?  [thumbs up] [thumbs up]
 
Just got the email!  I'm super excited! Now I'm torn as to wether I want to stay overnight Thursday to Friday or drive up each day...decisions decisions!  Is anybody else staying overnight Thursday into Friday???  If that's the case, maybe a FOG hangout since I'll be attending alone!

Bob
 
This is very exciting news! I had already registered for the JLC- RI but this opportunity makes this event even better. I am hoping to catch Gary Katz's workshops on Friday so the Festool lead in on Thursday will work real well. Thanks Festool! John
 
Very cool  [cool]

Looks like I will be adding a day to my travel plans.

Seth
 
Yeah, and now we're back to leaving at 03:00 in the morning.  [crying]

In years past, we would normally get up at 03:00, race up to Providence, hit the show floor and then fall into bed Thursday night, exhausted.  Instead, this year we decided to head out Thursday morning and take a leisurely ride up 95, arrive late afternoon to relax, grab a meal and be rested and ready come Friday morning.

Oh well, best laid plans and all that.  [dead horse]

Well its 41/2 hrs of driving time for me so I guess  I am leaving around 4 am to head up to the show on Friday. I am hoping to meet other FOG Brothers at the show that day, so please let me know if you are coming on Friday , maybe we can meet at the Festool Booth.
Builder Bob and I are going to meet up at the show

Amended game plan, now staying overnight on Thursday as I have registered for the Festool Event. So who's going to be there for this one

Sal
 
It's just about 6 hours from here to Providence.  It all depends on the traffic getting through New York.  Sometimes we sail through, others, it's a slogfest... [unsure]
 
I will be there Friday and Saturday. My hotel room has been booked for sometime and I don't think I can change my schedule to make it up Thursday too.

Dave
 
Ya never know...  On a couple of occasions, I booked at the very last minute and still got rooms with king beds.
 
Wow, what a great level of interest based on the registrations we've received so far. This is going to be a great event.

If anyone has questions, let me know. Looking forward to hang with those of you who will be attending in a few weeks.

I'll be there Thursday for the connect event and Friday to walk the floor for a bit.  Looking forward to meeting a lot of you folks in person.

Shane,

Do you have something like this planned for the Connect Event?

Narex does it

I know where Kreg would be  [big grin]

Hope everyone has a blast!

Peter
 
Is it me and I am unable to locate what I need, or has JLC fallen down and not posted a schedule of clinics and vendor-booth cross reference?  [unsure]

In years past we would get the schedule of clinics and plan everything accordingly.

Thanks.
