I was hoping that somehow the dates may change. I will be in Baltimore with my wife, kids, and inlaws. I hate I will miss this one. Will there be 1:30am snowmobile rides? That I think I will miss the most. There is nothing more "REFRESHING" than a snowmobile ride at 90MPH when it is 10 below!!!

Posted by Jeff Ogden (Member # 3184) on :
I'm going to get up there for this one, looks like. I'm sure there will be several folks from Florida heading up there too.
I'm looking for a project to help out on if ya got something going....let me know if there's anything I can do Mike...I'd love to get more involved this time up....
Cisco...it'll be good to see you again, bro. I am bringing something for you but I'm keeping you in suspense for awhile....
Posted by PKing (Member # 337) on :
Can I dress up (like a clown) and ask my "Girlfriend" to marry me Again? What great memories of Mazeppa I still have!
Posted by Camille Norvaisas (Member # 501) on :
Saw a panel from Winter Muster at Atlantic City Sign show - was an awesome panel!!!!!!!!
Posted by Dale Manor (Member # 4858) on :
I too am REALLY looking forward to another Meet in Mazeppa...maybe I can drive down with the gas guzzlin' HOT ROD and entertain the local constable....lets see 6 miles to the gallon times...how many miles?
Jeff, I am looking forward to seeing you again and hopefully we can sling some paint together again.
And Cisco....I promise I'll have some music for us this time, not that I didn't appreciate Mr. Clarks truck radio! Hopefully I'll have about 10 gigs loaded onto the iPod....we can just let it play straight through the whole event.
I'm up for helping any way I can Mike...just let me know what I can do.
And we could run some snowmobiles and see how long they can survive the July heat...could be interesting!

Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :
You mean Sarge is coming! Who will ever forget the fun at Ore's Bar with our first experiments with a live webcam? I know Sarge won't!!!
This meet still has the title of "the most fun meet I ever attended." Some of that was due to the host, attendees, the people of the town, the parade, a monster truck, live music and the great projects and seminars. Truth be told there was a magic to this meet that can never be put into words.
Already got my hockey stick taped up!
Posted by FranCisco Vargas (Member # 145) on :
Steve, and who ever else reads this...I say it's the the famous ole Mike Meyer, when I met this guy at Jackie Vaughn's place here in CA I knew he was a true down to earth guy, and a great sign painter. I think that's why his meets are such a success, lots to see and do. I'm not a cold weather person but he got me to fly out there and see Mazeppa below zero degrees. And you know what, I had a blast there! Met more people, then re-met and got to know the Scotland Sign Gangsters when the picked me up in Chicago to Lincoln and back. From there, it's been a great ride. Like I say I'm lookin forward to get out there this July. See you and the rest of the fellows and Lassies soon, be cool Mikey!!

Posted by Periandros Damoulis (Member # 4473) on :
I will be present there for sure.. It will be a different experience for me. Can't wait Mike..!! Greetings from Greece to your family. Periandros and Kathy Damoulis
Posted by Ashley Bishop (Member # 2836) on :
Can' wait to see the second home again, by the way did anyone find a piece of my liver in the shop anywhere, I think I left it last time somewhere between the Guinness barrel and WD's. Also lost half a lung from laughing so hard. If any of the above is found please refrigerate and surround in cold Guinness and I'll pick it up in July.
Mike you put on a proper party so see you all on de dance floor,
Lip up fatty,
Ash
Posted by Matthew Rolli (Member # 4089) on :
I'll bring another barrel 'O Guiness for ya Ashley....
at least I'm good for something.
Course if there's another bottle of Glenfeddich to bid against you on Scott, I may bring 2.
This one will be a day after our 2nd should arrive if all goes well.
I may have to go solo.
Posted by Alan Johnson (Member # 2513) on :
Hey Mike I'm still looking forward to the COMBINE GRAPHIC Challenge , Has anyone ever chopped one of those?
Posted by Nevman (Member # 332) on :
Looks like I'll be there too Mike.
Can't wait for the picnic like last time - just make sure that you take the picture from the other side of the table this time...so we can see the M for Mazeppa...

Just found another shot of the original meet circa 1808.
In the front row you can see our honorable Mayor, Capt. Sign, Sqt. Meyers and, off to the side is Private Fair. You can't see Stewart 'cuz he's passed out on the top step...
The folks in the back have various sign tools that date back before French Masters and 1 Shot. Notice, too, the variety of mahl stick choices at that time.
I can't tell who it is, but someone is also holding a hockey stick...
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
No, Pat, you got it all wrong... that is the posse of citizens who will light those implements into torches and storm Mike's shop! Good one. Love....Jill
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Great idea for the Meals Pat! I'll spray paint the grass and GET ER" DONE!
