....OK folks, just got off the phone with Bob (Nightmare Creations) Looks like Boris mods! Maybe we could do a combo like Ish said. I'm going to be busy for the next few eek ends, so we'll have to coordinate our schedules.

Oct,
Sounds good to me.
By Boris we mean... is it just any talking "toy" that would be hacked?
Could, would, should we try a group buy so that they were all the same?

.....Jim, I LOVE those sketches, the second one is fantastic!

Ghostess, you are too kind.

Well, Bob said he has a few Boris's already and could look into getting another case. I'll follow up with him. He said all we would need to bring is a male audio jack and a soldering iron. A quick and easy mod! Leaves more time for socializing! Something that we didn't have time for with the TCT.

Hey! Everybody! Bob could't get more but was going to see how many he had in storage. He may have enough depending on how many can come.

No problem Oct (and thanks for trying Bob) I am going the cowlious route.
I need two talkers, so I figure I would save one for somebody.
However if the MnT is a go I would be more than happy to lurk!

Howdy y'all. Bob Haas in Gainesville said he could do one if there's no one/place else at his warehouse location. He's done a little with making a talking Blucky head, plus some joking Borises.

In an IM with him today, he said he's fine with printing up the Scary Terry stuff he used and having something at the warehouse some Sunday. I told him I'd pass it on to everyone here... so it's thrown out there!

Hi everyone!

Well, I reserved the Lodge for June 23rd for those of you that can make it to this neck of the woods. Bob M. will definitely do a demo for hacking a Boris. I have not heard back from him as far as how many he has. I have my own, but would like to get one more if I can. But if there aren't enough to go around, I'll stick to the one I have.

I was thinking, since this will be a shorter M&T, I could drag out my Axeworthy set up just to share what I did. I probably won't be able to set it up, but at least you can get an idea of how put mine together.

Or if someone wants to do a demo of their favorite prop or something.

Heck, we could all bring something to show off!

Bob contacted me a while back, I had nothing left in stock and all the warehouses have been out of them since Feb of last year ( I got the last 100 cases ).
Someone ( a memeber here I think) else here picked up several cases last year, but I think might have sold them on eBay?

Looks like you are going to have a good turn out!

I'm planning on attending Ironstock that weekend in June, so won't be able to attend on the 23rd, but if someone could do a good film of it I would love to join in by using that. Plus it would let me be in on the fun. I'm clear the weekend before or after if it gets changed.

What else is a substitute for a Boris?

Ah, darn the luck! If ya come across any let me know. Thanks FE. It looks like Bob has a few, we'll have to see how many can make it.

Hey Ish! Looks like Bob will be going to Ironstock as well! I'm jealous BTW!

So how does July look for everyone? I'm busy the other weekends in June (much to my dis-liking!).

July would be great! Just not the first weekend, the 8th is our 29th wedding anniversary!

So will be partying!

Gives more time to hunt up parts, too, by the looks of it. Which would be good.

You said it would be a quick thing to make. So are we going to make a couple different things then? Anybody have any desires? Besides the faux fire?
