If you’ve ever wanted to meet Roy Underhill and toast his vast contributions to the craft, here is your chance. At 6 p.m. Saturday, March 23, we’re holding a happy hour for Roy at Juniper’s Gin Bar, which is a short walk from our Covington storefront.
The restaurant has kindly agreed to set aside space for us that evening. You can come meet Roy, ask him to sign a book (or your bosom) and purchase some food and drink if you like. We’ll have copies of Roy’s book “Calvin Cobb! Radio Woodworker” on hand for you to purchase and get signed by the man himself.
We have only limited space, and we are asking that you reserve a space through this free guestlist service. It doesn’t cost any money, but there is a price to pay if you sign up and don’t show up. Megan has threatened a curse upon anyone who would skip out on Roy.
So sign up if you are going to be there. If something comes up, please cancel your reservation so someone else can bask in the light of St. Roy.
Hope to see you there!

Roy could sign my bosom??!!!
Marvelous!
Thank you LAP. I have recently been working my way through all his shows available on PBS. Can’t be there, but cheers to St. Roy.
Dang it! Sometimes being way out here in Arizona sucks. Not today because it’s another beautiful sunny day but, y’know, sometimes. Wish I could be there. Been watching Roy since the beginning way back when. Happy I finally got to meet him and get his autograph at Handworks this past fall. Y’all have fun.
I’m not entirely sure I’m a fancy enough lad to get into that bar. Sounds like a great time, though!
It would be a dream come true, but alas, a bit too far to come from Alberta, Canada….
oh what fun! i wonder if he will marinate another pack of Oreos in someone else’s Macallan?
Have a wonderful evening with Roy, and I wish Covington was a bit closer to New Zealand
Keep sharp objects away from him but, bring band aids just in case.
Still recovering from the last trip…
Any idea if kids are allowed in the space? My polite 15 year old son would love to meet him; if that’s verboten by you guys or the state I totally understand.
Children are welcome. It’s as much of a restaurant as it is a gin bar. Leslie and Vic are very welcoming.
I would love to come out but live too far away. Would we be able to order a signed copy perchance?
