Just a suggestion:

If Jordan would post the materials that he anticipates we will need to follow along with the fly tying demo, then we can come prepared.

That all looks good...

As far as material well...

I was planning on doing a Hex, a small black stone, an egg (if need be) a shrimp and maybe a caddis...

For the hex one would need to bring a #6 2-3X long streamer hook, (ill bring the pheasant parts) small copper wire, a yellow/creme dubbing (golden stone works well) and some mono eyes sm/med...

The stone will require a #8 nymph hook, BLACK copper wire, black biots, black dubbing and a black nymph/scud back material (black pheasant tail works great, strech flex, black swiss straw) and again sm mono eyes...

Shrimp # 6-8 x-short and x-heavy nymph hook, grey dubbing and hackle (which i may have enough of) a white shell back material polar-aire or antron works the best (i have that also) and again sm/md mono eyes...

Ive got the egg stuff but if youd like to bring a # 8-10 egg hook that would be great....

That should get you guys started....

Thank you so much everyone! I'm really looking forward to this. Those flies sound like FUN. I'll bring my supplies also.

Ran into Rick today at the Warehouse. He was picking up some supplies off these recipes. Somehow I managed to get out of the house without my wallet (only discovered upon arrival at the Warehouse parking lot!). So, since Rick is now bound to have everything needed for these flies, I'm resolved to just mooch off him.
