HiYa Ryan!
As you can probably figure out, things are a little up in the air around here as far as attending the meet.
Now that I don't have a job, I have the time to go... but not the money! But if I get a job, we might have the money, but I won't have the time. Then Bruce would have to go by himself.
Can you at least pencil him in as a maybe? Thanks!!
Posted by Sheila Ferrell (Member # 3741) on :

I'm In!!!!
I guess ya didn't get my email???? I'm flyin into Atlanta on Thurs and Sonny is going to haul my butt up there on Fri. Is Everwood bringing samples. Do you have a band saw or jig saw so we can cut up some stuff to carve or should I haul some cutouts with me?
It sounds like an all star cast already!!!!! I can't wait!
Joe, Makin Chips and Havin Fun!
Posted by Ray Rheaume (Member # 3794) on :
Add another Yankee or two to the list, Ryan.
I called a couple of other Letterheads yesterday from north of the Mason/Dixon line and we're planning a carpool for the trip down.
I like the panel jam battle idea. Sounds like fun! Rapid
Posted by Sonny Franks (Member # 588) on :
I cain't believe you don't already have this rebel on the list. Just to balance things, I'll be brangin a yankee named Chizlowskee with me. He'll be makin chips and carving battle swords for the Union troops.
Posted by Don Hulsey (Member # 128) on :
Now I am really confused. Not sure which list you'll put me on since KY never made up it's mind which side of the line it wanted to be on, but I have always claimed to live in the far North of Dixie, and according to my parents and several school teachers, I was born with a touch of Rebel in my blood.
Whatever list you put me on, you can count on me and Miss Dora being there.
Posted by Bill Biggs (Member # 18) on :
Well Now, Me'n ol Barb(my Wife) 'll be there with Bells on. Now I'm not one that likes to do stuff, unless its sing or tell jokes. But we're up there in Newberry County doin Geaniology on the 22,23rd and 24th so I talked her into joinin y'all on the 25 and 26th and maybe even the 27th. We are both good watchers and visitors though. Bill & Barb Biggs Barb is a Born Texan, I am a Born again Texan from Arkansas We called you guys and left a message, got no answer. Hope ya got my t-shirt order

Posted by Kissymatina (Member # 2028) on :
Having really wanted to go to this one...of course situations would change.
IF I can go (seriously doubt it, but ya never know) I won't know til last minute. Then it will be driving from Richmond down, which I think is just 6 hours. Don, would ya happen to have a friend who runs a dog kennel? or have one you know & trust for my 2 boys?
Posted by rene st-pierre (Member # 4116) on :

Still not sure yet! Be a last minute thing. Good to see ya last week Ryan, even if you did get me up early! Posted by Arvil Shep' Shepherd (Member # 2030) on :
Will probably make it for one day.........
Could you guys use a few Limited Edition Prints for Door Prizes ???????????

Posted by Chris Elliott (Member # 1262) on :
OK Ryan, I get the hint,...I mean I've only told ya I was gonna be there ever since you & Donald started talkin' about having this meet but that's OK, don't put me on the list until I email ya if that's the way you want it. I understand, and after all....rules are rules right? And you KNOW how much respect I have for the rules.
Jimmie......Hope ya can make it there but if not I'll try to swing by & see ya after the meet!
Shep.......try to make your "one day" early in the meet. If I'm successful in roundin' up a couple of outlaws on the drive over (yeah...the usual suspects) I sure could use an extra hand. Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
Chris Elliott I dont know what group to put you in. Yank or Reb? Kansas?
Posted by George Perkins (Member # 156) on :
As it stands right now I plan on coming along wth my sweetie Denise. I can't be 100% definate as we will be right in the middle of a move and **** can sometimes happen, but we have it planned.
BTW, you can put both of us down as Damn Yankees Posted by CJ Allan (Member # 52) on :
Guess it will depend on how high these damn gas prices go............

Ryan, Pencil Marcia and me in for this meet. We're going to join Rapid Ray`s Yankee Bus Invasion. Just wondering what`s on the menu - or do we have to wait and see what the fresh road kill is???
Posted by Rick Beisiegel (Member # 3723) on :
I'd like to be included too
Posted by timi NC (Member # 576) on :
Count me in,...thanx guys,....
Posted by BrianTheBrush (Member # 1298) on :
Ryan,
I spoke with Donald yesterday, anmd explained to him that I just ain't gonna make it. Circumstances beyond my control as they say.
I did though, just send down some SignGold door prizes and some product...so enjoy.
Wear some black and pretend yer me, pal.
Brian
Posted by Roger DiNofa (Member # 2781) on :
Ryan, Count myself and my brother Kevin in on this meet. Decided yesterday the heck with it this sounds like too much fun to miss out on especially since its just a couple few hours down the road. Looking forward to meeting everyone and if someone could help me out with the closest and best place to stay near the meet. Thanks Roger
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Hey Ryan and Donald.....I've checked the "Canes" schedule and they have a home game on the 25th...How far away is the arena from "Y'all?"
For some of you southerners, we are talkin HOCKEY here...do they have a real Zamboni Ice re-surfacer or do they still have Cooter with his tow truck with leaking, hot oil?
I was thinking of catching a game and then maybe seeing if I could sleep on the ice to try and make it feel like "Home."
I see Florida has a game at home and Nashville on the 30th, so I could catch a game there as well on the way home. (I know Tampa Doesn't even have a team..hehehe)
Sorry, but this here Yankee has got to have his Hockey, even in the SOUTH!!
Posted by Rick Sacks (Member # 379) on :
I've spoken with Donald, and my son Jake and his girlfriend Nikki are planning to attend. Thanks again for your cheerful hospitality.
Posted by kent moss (Member # 4295) on :
Hello, Ryan and Don, I attended the meet last year. It was one of my most memorable meets(I've been to 32). I've never been to a meet that within the first few hours I learned something that made my trip worthwhile. Ryan, in your bio it said you like racing. Alot of the meets hold pinstriping moto-cross racing,it is always a big hit. I will always remember the 89 national letterhead meet in Texas, I raced(pinstriped) all the way to the finals, after every turn,jump, and straight away mau quality of line layed down and stop watched time(et) ended up Kent Moss 3rd place, Harry Mallacote 2nd, and Bob Bond 1st. We all got an intro and a nice little trophy. If interested someone has specs for reg. size track and all. Bob Bond would know. Anyway--Kent Moss will be there, thanks for having Dixie '94. I'm a snowbird,Charleston, South Carolina-winter Wilbraham, Massachusetts-summer. I am a republican,can not stand Kennedy's,not for gay marriages,realy like southern people,love bisuits and gravy, hate grits. Looking forward to the Dixie meet.
Posted by goddinfla (Member # 1502) on :
Hey Mike Tampa not only has a team, we have the League leading soon to be Stanley Cup skating Tampa Bay Lightning. You're welcome to come and see how hockey is supposed to be played. I'll be the usher at sections 123-124 like I have been for 5 seasons.
GO BOLTS!!!!
Posted by Joe Cieslowski (Member # 2429) on :
Mike,
I'd join ya for the Carolina game except that with Ron Francis being traded to Toronto....I've lost interest...........
Joe, Makin Chips and Havin Fun!
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
I will not have my post taken over by silly talk about Hockey. Silly men playing on ice slapping sticks around. Hell even the players dont like the game. They are always trying to start fights so they can get kicked out. Now if you guys want to talk about the athletic prowess of Mud Bog Racers be my quest. I must go now and shoot a squirrel for dinner.
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
Mike, We have a local team here in Greenville. They have a game, skate, ****ing match(Ryan's name for whatever it is called)on the 26th & 27th. It is only 40 miles from here.
Posted by Mike Barnes (Member # 2277) on :
Hey Guys,
Reservations made, Schedule cleared off, and looking forward to the trip. Count me in!!
My first meet, and I can hardly wait! See y'all there.
Mike
Posted by Kevin Sparling (Member # 3656) on :
Ryan, Put me on the list. First meet for me also.I'm gonna try and drive over from Atl. for the day on saturday. I lived half my life in New York and the other half in Georgia so i guess I fall in the Damn Yankee catagory as well
Kevin
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Donald, Is it the Greenville Crunch?
Or as you guys say it.."Greenvull"
"Y'all"
Hey Ryan!! How come this turned into a Hockey Post? hehehehe
It needs to get "Rednecked Up!"
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Dennis!
I knew you would crawl out of the woodwork for that Tampa Bay remark! So, you got tickets er what?
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
Mike, They are the Greenville Growl Ticket prices are $7,$10,$14,& $21. How does that compare to prices up there?
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Hey Donald, for the league the Growl is in, it's the same. The pros are astronomical! TOO MUCH! Ya gotta become an usher like Goddinfla!
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
Hockey, shmockey. Who wants to watch guys with bent sticks fight over a little wee black thing when ya could be slingin' paint, pullin' stripes, laughin', drinkin' beer, and swappin' panels? Hmmmm? Love...JILL Posted by Ray Rheaume (Member # 3794) on :
Mike does.....
Posted by CJ Allan (Member # 52) on :
I wonder what it would be like to just once open a thread that managed to stay on topic after the first half dozen or so replys...........
Not much chance of that ever happening though...........I think the word that comes to mind is "RUDE" and the next one "Inconsiderate"..........
This is one of the reasons I seldom come here anymore.........Too many people with the attention span of a grape.....
Ryan..... I appologize for taking your thread off on yet another BS direction, but it has obviously already been turned into something else...........!!
Hope to see ya in a couple of weeks, hopefully there will be something to learn and share that will be about paint, art, pinstriping, etc.....NOT Politics, religion, or hockey.......!! That crap should be saved for letterville....!!
Thanks.........cj
Posted by BrianTheBrush (Member # 1298) on :
Well CJ..you're right about the hijacking of posts around here. Even the on-topic ones tend to go off topic.
Posted by Harris Kohen (Member # 2139) on :
this guy from NJ is planning to attend, but it all depends on finances and the famous yankee bus
Posted by Curtis hammond (Member # 2170) on :
Any one want something from the DEEEEEEEEEEP South ????/ IE New Orleans stuff? Some mudbugs perhaps? Bengeits?

Posted by Curtis hammond (Member # 2170) on :
As usual. I won't know until the last minute if i can go or not. Some know my circumstances. No hard feelings to anyone if i can show up and there's not enuf food, drinks, or shirts to go around. I just wish to meet all the really nice people. And, of course learn some more from the masters.. Ive already set that friday off from work. Just gotta get one more duck in line and i can be there.
Posted by goddinfla (Member # 1502) on :
Mike.
Tickets?
I don't need no stinkin' tickets.
I've been to about 190 of their last 200 home games without needing tickets.
We sell a couple hundred tickets day of the game for $8.00.
Update, just demolished the AHL team calling themselves the Rangers 5-2.
CJ with his usual "contribution" Has he ever said anything positive? He's one of the reasons I seldom come here anymore. If you hate reading posts that much, don't come by at all.
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
haha..I agree Dennis.....he still owes me a flashlight that he tried to engrave. He probably has a huge box of the ones he spelled wrong, It can't all be positive, ya gotta have the negative soothsayers lurking around.
Just to satisfy some of the people that worried about this getting off topic.....I will be driving ALOT of miles to get the paint brushes out and GO FOR IT at the civil war 2004! Donald and Ryan came all the way to Mazeppa, I can go to South Carolina! I'm bringing a glass gold leaf panel and I would like to bring some extra glass pieces, already screened, for sale, so people can get into Gold on glass! Just before I leave I'll try and post the artwork and size.
I will be bringing lots of left over stuff from the Muster for sale as well.
Now, Dennis, congrats on your club kickin the hell out of the Rangers! If people don't like Hockey interjected on any posts, screw em. I don't like guns, religon or mini goals either, but I ain't bitchin'!
This bulletin board is to like a real-life Letterhead Meet. If you have never been to one, this board is very similar, because you have all kinds of different bickering, and laughter and seriousness going on all around you. How Steve, the Mayor, keeps it all under control is beyond me.!!!
Love it or hate it! That's life.
See you in Dixie!

Posted by Roger DiNofa (Member # 2781) on :
Hockeys cool with me as long as it's the Bruins. Ok if there's gonna be a panel battle hows that gonna work. Since you have everyone listed in three catagories shouldn,t there be a third faction. Maybe I have the wrong idea on how this is going to work. Anyway Back to the original topic Asheville use to have a hockey team it was called the Smoke.They had a lot of problems keeping the civic center cold enough for the ice to stay frozen. So they canned the Smoke and brought in a basketball team called the Altitude. Wish they kept the hockey team. Roger
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
Sheila, That was great, especially when Ned Beatty ran across the bridge in front of the Duke boys and the chicken with the hoods.
Posted by Amy Brown (Member # 1963) on :
Hey guys, I'm not really happy but I'm afraid we aren't going to make it. Just too much spending on our plate right now.
Have fun everyone! BooHoo! Posted by Alan Ackerson (Member # 3224) on :
What do we have 11 days or so? I think I'm on the in here...still need to iron out some more details.
Denis and Mike, You guys sure know how to kick a guy when he's down. In between Ranger tears I know these guys are a joke (Insert "Fire Sather" chant)...B. Leetch hurt the most.
But anyway...sniff, Glad to see the head count for the meet getting bigger.
Don and Ryan, Are there any Civil War historical sights near by? I love to stop and read those little blue signs. We don't get to see much Civil war stuff here, NJ is loaded with Revoutionary War history. Washington did sleep here!
Posted by Michael Latham (Member # 4477) on :

Kind of near Greenville and Columbia

Well, looks like another meet I will have to miss, I will be south of the border that week end, having Margaritas among a few other things by the coast. But I know all of you will have a GREAT time, playing hockey...Go get em Mike!! Or Jillbeans slinging paint on everyone. Ryan will you highjack this meet too? Have FUN FUN Fun, slap that paint, make them panels dance and sing..."I love the brush life!!"
Posted by Roger DiNofa (Member # 2781) on :
Ryan, Sorry to tell you this but my brother and I are from Mass. Originally so that makes us Damn Yankees. Not that it matters none but as soon as you heard us talk the gig would be up. Can't wait it's coming up fast!Roger
Posted by Cam Bortz (Member # 55) on :
Well, Dad was from Mississippi, Mom from Pennsylvania, I live in New England, so what's that make me? The Yankee Bus is back on the road, so count me in. BTW, I wouldn't call Billy Pickett a Yankee...
Posted by Harris Kohen (Member # 2139) on :
Did Washington do anything besides sleep? The guy has slept everywhere in NJ. Its a wonder that were even separate from the British today.
Did anyone tell Donald and Ryan that they lost the war yet? That reminds me of Keith Richards, the guy doesnt know he died yet.
Posted by Bob Peach (Member # 2620) on :
Hey guys, It looks like we are actually going to make it now that Cam has started a van pool.Its a smaller vehicle so no target practice.
Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :
This is one meet we have been planning on attending since last year, but it's just not going to happen for us. Apologies to Ryan and Donald, new Letterheads attending their first meet and all our wonderful buddies from past meets.
This just hasn't been our year so far. My health status hasn't been good the last couple months. That's always a concern for anyone traveling south of the border and unable to buy health insurance.
We were prepared to come anyway. We're fedup with Winter. For the past couple years, we've been attending Fred Self's Meet, then spending time with Alton and Mary Gillespie in Dallas before escaping to the warmth of Florida. Mazeppa was teriffic, but I love the Sun myself.
The final decision to stay home is a visit by my Dad. He's flying in from Calgary tomorrow. We haven't seen him in 3 years. Since he's only staying 10 days, our hands are pretty well tied.
This is going to be one special meet. We really enjoy getting around folks like Ryan and Donald. I'll miss having Ryan hijack my laptop and Letterville. Here's hoping they will have a internet connection available so we can join the meet via chat.
Posted by CJ Allan (Member # 52) on :
Good to see this thread getting back on topic.........
Also, Good talkin to both of you..Ryan and Donald.......sure was easier to make a call than wade through all the stuff on here.....
You will be gettin a package in the next few days with the things I'm sending.........Like i said.....It's hard to say what my schedule will be like next week.......The people I'm doing things with always need things right now, and overnite, and Discovery Channel always shows up without notice wanting their stuff first........

I'll be in Florida most of this summer, and will see if I can hook ya up with something from Discovery......Don't think they need any ushers, but can't hurt ta ask......

This also means that Bruce is going without me. SO... consider this a WARNING that the Larry, Moe & Curly (Bruce, Ryan & Donald) are gonna be together again!! Who's gonna keep an eye on those guys?!?

It looks like I'll be bringing Racheal's sister Shaina instead.( Got to keep things equal). She's 17 and due to graduate shortly.You keep all them boys under control up there, OK? Don't want them actin' too crazy with a new girl in town.
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
Has she still got all of her teeth? You know how them southern boys act when a girl still has all her teeth. That means she is "the cream of the crop." It may be that she has to watch out for some of those "creepy old Northerners" that are looking for a Southern Belle.

Posted by goddinfla (Member # 1502) on :
CJ sorry to hear your engraving business is doing so poorly that you need to masquerade as a sign guy. Enjoy your stay in Florida, can't blame you for getting out of Kentucky. If you crank that handle on the side of your phone real fast your internet connection should speed up. If not ask Sarah the operator what to do. Don't think you'll have a very good time at Ryan and Donald's meet. People might have the audacity to talk about something other than signs. Seems to happen at every meet I go to. Seems to happen a lot at this on-line Letterhead meet. Seems like most people have life beyond One Shot and Sign Foam.
Posted by CJ Allan (Member # 52) on :
Hey Dennis.... what the hell are you talkin about anywayzzzzz......hahahahah
Talk about "clueless"... Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
hahaha C.J. I started the "New Thread" like you told me..and I did it with a smile on my face, I met you in Kentucky and then we met again at Mark Fair's...I think you are a fun guy, and we laughed alot both times we met, I hope to laugh some more in South Carolina with you. I never meant for any of my posts to go angered towards you, I'm not that way. Posts that go off to hockey are much more easy going than the religious and political rants! So, if you get bent out of shape on just a little'ol thang like hockey......you gots ta adjust medication brother! Now, I can't wait for this here Dixie Meet, it's gonna be fun! The Yanks from the Northeast are really gathering troops to storm down on Johnny Reb! Whether you are North or south, I think the car pool idea is great and should be done more often for Letterhead Meets!
My apoligies to the Mayor Steve Shortreed on the "new Thread" post, I never meant to stir anything up, just trying to make a different side of the story. I'm sorry Steve, I'll sit in the BB Penalty Box for 5 minutes...OOPS Sorry about the reference to HOCKEY..another 5 minutes?
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
Before any of this **** gets out of hand I am stepping in. Stop the ****ing match right now.This is my post and my meet. CJ has a slow dial up and says that it takes a while to load long posts. He is a stand up guy and my freind. I understand where he is coming from. Do I agree that the post should have stayed on topic with an iron fist. NO. This post is to stir up intrest to my meet in any way it can.I dont want a post that stays at the top with no additions. I can tell when something new is said becouse it goes to the top.
Mike and Dennis are also my freinds and stand up guys. Do I think Mike and Dennises replys were out of line and mean spirited. No I think they were freindly jabs. BUT befor this gets more fired up and someone gets ****sed drop it for no reason other than your respect for me and Donald. All of you are my freinds there is no one in this world that is not invited to this meet. Chill out. I know no one is mad at each other but I feel this should stop now befor someone gets mad. And screw the spelling I have too much to do right now. See yall soon in Dixie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Mike your post was not there when I was putting mine together. Hocky sucks!!!!!!!

Atta Boy Ryan! Welcome to the Zany world of running a Meet!
Here's the truth...C.J. and I were on the same farm club in Moose Jaw back in the early 60's and I was a left winger, C.J. was a goalie and even back then he was slow at "starting up" and now all these years later it's even his computer! Anyway, he was cut from the team and went to being a biker .
The rest is history.
Posted by Kevin McEvoy (Member # 4578) on :
Hi Ryan, Myself and Rob Gunton (from your list) will be coming up from Columbia SC. We are with Hi-Impact signs, we do mostly vinyl graphics, alot of race cars. You can file us both under "Damn Yankees"
Myself, I do a good bit of custom paint on the side. I can't stripe all that great, but I'm working on that.
Neither of us have ever been to one of these Jams. Im not sure what to expect. Should I bring my brushes, my airbrush...anything else?
Posted by CJ Allan (Member # 52) on :
Okey Meyer..........
Now ya went and did it for sure...............
What's the matter with you, Man......??
This absolutly tears it........!!
You promised to "NEVER TELL" that story, and here ya go blabbin it all over the damn internet for the whole world to hear, and laugh about......... You were sworn to secrecy...............!!
You also know damned well that I "WAS NOT CUT" from the team.........
I ESCAPED...............!!!!!!!
I went out and found a whole bunch of new ways to get my teeth knocked out, and get blindsided..........
The next thing....you'll probably go blabbin all about those sheep we were usin as cheerleaders..........
Man.......Ain't nuthin sacred........!!
You're just still all upset cause I took the puck with me when I left..........ain't ya.??
Sorry about all this again Ryan and Donald......... I jus don't like untrue stories about me to spread al over..........
And THAT'S The TRUTH..............!!
Honest......!!
.........cj
Posted by Peter Manzolillo (Member # 1062) on :
I'm still up in the air about this. JUST as I'm getting busy after a slow spell so don't know if I can get away. What all would I bring besides the sign kit? Paint, chisels, airbrush, compressor also??
Posted by Cheryl Lucas (Member # 1656) on :
Hey Peter,
Be sure to bring your chisels and show us your tricks.
I'm kinda curious about the air compressor, too. I hope to have Airbrush Bobby ridin' shot gun with me. He'll be bringing his airhead gear.
DONALD! How many airheads can ya hook up to yer compressor?
Cher.
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
I know nothing about all of that. My compressor is a 5hp 22 gal. Other than that I don't have a clue. I do have a nice new Iwata airbrush though. Hopin to learn something next week.
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
I will take care of getting a large compressor. If someone could come up with a tree set up so 5 or 6 could shoot that would be great. I will get a brand new one I need it for the house.
Posted by Roger DiNofa (Member # 2781) on :
Ryan, I intended in bringing my little one anyway if it gets out of the shop if you'd like I could bring my larger one too . You can run two lines off of each. The bigger ones pretty loud tho. Just let me know and I'll throw em both in the truck. Might not get there until fri evening waiting to see when Kevin gets off work. Holler at me if you do Roger
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
will there be refrigerated rooms for us Northerners? How bout WinnDixie? Do they have a Meat Deppartment I could sleep in?
I'm bringing shorts!
Posted by goddinfla (Member # 1502) on :
Gee Ryan you almost had me in tears thinkin' I messed up your thread. Then you had to go say hocky sucks. I assume you mean hockey. I was just messin' with CJ. I'd really love to go to your meet but am in the middle of merging with Cobra and Chris. Is that on topic enough? Sorry I couldn't reply sooner but I was watching my Bolts beat the Sabres 3-1. Ooops.
Posted by Cheryl Lucas (Member # 1656) on :
Mike,
I was wonderin' 'bout the frigerated rooms too. But, I ain't so sure 'bout the WinnDixie tho.
Ya recon, if we say cold enuf, we won't have to take a shower?
Cher.
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
So Chris and Cobra wont be here either Dennis. You let them know I will be p/oed.
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
All three of you come and get together to discuss everything here. You know you want to.
Posted by jimmy chatham (Member # 525) on :

Posted by Harris Kohen (Member # 2139) on :
Scott, Look under the "Future Live Meets" heading to the left when you view this.
the meet is next weekend in Laurens, South Carolina.
Be There, or be SQUARE!!!
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
Bump, you sorry @@@@@@@! I leave for one day to go racing and come back and all of you have forgotton about my meet!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
How could they forget the rascal that hijacked Letterville? Your Magesty, I remember your meet. What kind of cookies do you want me to bring? You never did say. Love Mom
Posted by Harris Kohen (Member # 2139) on :
Meet!
WHAT MEET???
OHH the one down THERE
be careful Yankees, I think theyre luring us down there with visions of paint slinging and plain old fun and comeraderie. While they attempt to send their snaggletoothed relatives up here to overtake the land. While were away playing and just having fun. Send the town cryer out to let everyone know of their plights.
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
My sister will be helping sat and sunday. Her name is Kelly but we all call her Lil Stumpy. If you dont remember here is why.
Break her in right she is alot of fun and look out she likes to fight like a man!!!! She wont take **** off of any one. So be prepared.
Posted by W. R. Pickett (Member # 3842) on :
... Wow! But, how does "Lil Stumpy" can "fight like a man" with stumps! (?) ... I really don't want to find out...
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
Prosthetics. She is like Robo sister. Dont make her mad!!!!!!!
Posted by jimmy chatham (Member # 525) on :

Posted by Harris Kohen (Member # 2139) on :
No Comment Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Wow! She's HOT! Does she like Hockey?
Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
She is pure G.R.I.T.S Mike so I dont think so. {girl raised in the south}
Posted by Judy Pate (Member # 237) on :

Hi Ray! Watch this link for the weather in Laurens,SC. Looks like showers for Friday with lows in the upper 40's F and highs in the lower to mid 70's. http://www.excite.com/weather/obs.jsp?id=USSC0192 Judy
Posted by Ray Rheaume (Member # 3794) on :
Thanks, Judy.
The highs temperatures here are the same as the lows in Laurens for the weekend. Shorts are going in the bag, but I'm not quite down to bikini weight just yet...
Ron and I will be off and running tomorrow. 1100 miles and 11 states ...see you there. Rapid
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :

Posted by Dana Bowers (Member # 780) on :
Oh man... I am SOOOO bummed!!! I wanna go!! WAAAAAH!!!!!
Bruce is really looking forward to the three stooges together again!! Consider all you guys forewarned!!
I really wish I could be there to make chips with Joe... people don't normally encourage me to use sharp objects. Oh wait... people NEVER even let me handle sharp objects!!
Sometimes I don't handle dull ones either... Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Hey Ryan, can Kelly go to the Greenville Growl game on Friday night?
Posted by Karen Wunch (Member # 3577) on :
Hi, Ya'll. ;o)

I'll be tawlkin' liyak her. Yikes! I'll wear some green velvet drapes (just liyak Scarlett) to throw her off tho...just don't tell her. We're staying at the Comfort Inn. Suthan Comfort, of course!

Posted by George Perkins (Member # 156) on :
Looks like we aren't gonna make it We were both looking forward to it but there is just too much to be done around here with the move and all.
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
You gotta be kidding me. You are the videographer for the pinstriping video. I had plans to sell millions of videos and retire early. See how all of my well laid out plans go to crap all because one guy is too "busy" to come to SC for three days. Well la-de-da. You don't know what you're gonna miss. Ryan had plans for you too
Man am I disappointed!!!!
Posted by Arvil Shep' Shepherd (Member # 2030) on :
Donald......./....Ryan,
I had planned to be there Saturday......However the new house and quite a lot of Sign work to do..is not going to let me attend even for the one day....... My Comnputer has been "Down" for about a week ......Or I would have contacted you sooner........
However I will still ship you 4 (Four) 57 Chevy Prints to give away.
Is the address on Donalds Profile good to go ?????????
Shep'
Posted by Dan Streicher (Member # 4515) on :
Not that it matters but some odd way I came across a interesting website...http://www.81x.com/Authors/indocil/Custom11.JPG and Ryan's truck and sister what was her name "stumpy" the fight likes a dude hotty was on there and the dixie warrior that you used as your mascot for this meet....is this your other business ? just curious, just really odd to come across all of it and had to ask????? I am going nuts with curiousity???
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
Shep, That will work fine. Sorry to hear that you can't make it. Thanks for the prints.
Dan, How did you just happen to come by that website? you have to watch out for the sites that are connected to Ryan. Never know what you might see there.
Posted by Dan Streicher (Member # 4515) on :
No Doubt Donald, I was actually doing a google search for some motorcycle parts, and drifted and came across "it" it just blew me away too many similarities...can't wait to hear the story....I still never found my motorcycle parts
Posted by DONALD THOMPSON (Member # 3726) on :
The weather will be 55 low to 75 high and pretty much clear all weekend. Thank ya Lord
Posted by Arvil Shep' Shepherd (Member # 2030) on :
You are Welcome !!!!!!!! LOL LOL
"Just couldn't resist that one...."
I really regret that I am missing this opportunity to get to meet some of my "Heros" and say hello to those that I have met and known for a long time ......such as Jim Norris...who in my oppinion is one of the greatest Pin Stripers alive today........
"Von Dutch could could not hold a Brush to him"

Posted by Ryan E Young (Member # 2325) on :
That is just a junk free website That I use to host photos so I can post pics on websites. My buisness name is Indocil art and designs. Donald and I dont work together we are just freinds. Here are two more. I am more of a custom painter than a sign guy now.
Well, it's time to shove off and settle myself in the North Bound lane. Headed for Dixie!
Got my git fiddle ridin' shotgun. Airbrush Bobby, is stretchin' deadlines and can't get away.
Can't wait to see everyone!
Y'all have a safe trip!
