Bivouac location secured just east of Bloomington for anyone who'd like to join us.

There's also a rumor going around that a big German battle ship has been sighted on the high seas of the North Atlantic aka Nick's.

We can still use more people.  Remember, this is epic we are talking about - and not just normal epic, this is...

Atterbury Epic

Working on it, working on it. You last-minute-Indiana guys, sheesh!
It'll be tough too considering we are supposed to leave all of our steel plates at home. At least we don't have to cross Illinois borders!
Now, I just have to go get a haircut  :P

What time do festivities get going on Saturday? EDIT:  Read the @#$@#% directions...check in at 7:30 am sharp.

The reason I ask is the COO of the Household made it relatively clear that being gone for work on Feb 18-19 and then Feb 24-28, and then for Appleseed Feb 21-23 is...unacceptable.

I'm thinking of Saturday only and driving down Sat morning, coming back Sat night.

KD...it's just that important.

Indiana Appleseed:  Farm Bred, Brass Fed

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and Lord if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

How much gear do you want me to bring?  Softbox/umbrella/flashes/backdrop stand/light stands/remote flash triggers...???

Rimshot is gonna try and teach me what he can about the GoPro this week.  I haven't used it yet - have you used one?

This is what I get for ignoring the forums.  I almost missed out on this shoot, until SPQR texted me yesterday.  Thanks, buddy!

I'm signed up.  Now all I need is a rifle!  Anybody have an extra that they will loan me?

I'll read up on the GoPro.  But you're tech...so I'm confident you can sort it out.

Huzzah! The more the merrier. Shenanigans aplenty. Wooo hoooo!

Two sets of clothes, techres? With the green screen, all I really need is my birthday suit. You can add the clothes later.Im thinkin boots, body armor, and not much else. We sure are gonna have a lot more ladies next year!

Maynard youre welcome to use my A2 whenever Im not using it. Im down to one now so I cant bring one for you but if we line up on opposite pit crews we'll be fine. I reckon someone on this thread has one you can borrow.

Epic is probably not a big enough word for what this weekend is shaping up to be. Somebody break out the dinosaur book and find us a big word. AJ, where are you with that classical education?
