IF a meet was planned for McCalla Alabama in the Fall who would be able to attend? I want to see how many people would want to attend and if it would make sence to even entertain the idea.
First option would be Tannehill State Park in November. Great Venue and Nice time of year.
What do y'all think?
Southern Muster? (mikey likes it)

Cant wait to see what happens when you too guys are actually in the same room together. I bet it measures on the Reicter scale.
A little about the parks history for those too lazy to "google"
The Story of the Tannehill Furnaces : Daniel Hillman, a Pennsylvania furnaceman, first built a bloomery forge on the banks of Roupes Creek in 1830, where he had found the richest deposits of brown ore in his experience. He wrote his son: "I believe, George, that my prospects for making a handsome property are better than they ever were..." Hillman died two years later, the family's fortune unmade. Ninian Tannehill later took up the forge as a sideline to his farming operation.
Between 1859 and 1863, slaves cut sandstone rocks, transported them by skids and stacked them to form three tall furnaces. Tannehill No. 1 was built by the noted Southern ironmaster Moses Stroup, who later built the Oxmoor Furnance, the first in Jefferson County. William L. Sanders purchased the operation in 1862 and set about expanding the ironworks.
Like the wheels and gears of a huge machine, the industrial center at Tannehill kept up a fierce momentum. Trees on the hillsides were felled to be made into charcoal that fed the huge blast furnaces. Roupes Creek and a mighty steam engine powered the blowing machines to heat the fires that melted ore to be formed into "pigs" of iron which, in turn, formed the tools of war for the Confederacy. At the height of production Tannehill could turn out 22 tons of iron a day. The iron was cast into ordnance, skillets, pots and ovens for the Southern army.
On March 31, 1865, it all ended in fire and destruction. Three companies of the Eighth Iowa Cavalry swept through the area as a part of Union General James H. Wilson's raid on Alabama war industry sites. Smoke rose from the charred remains of the ironworks and cabins that housed 500 workers. At day's end the furnaces were no longer operational, and the foundry, tannery, gristmill, and tax-in-kind warehouse were in ruins.
-I used to work here in college- they love to hold handcrafter assoc. type events. They also have a national moonpie eating contest every Labor Day. -L-

Now thats more like it! I know a lot of people have not been around the board lately that would love to make it. I think critical mass should be somewhere near 30 people. After that we will start making some sort of plans.
Let me take a minute to let you guys know about lodging options. If you have an RV or a pop-up camper then you will be in HEAVEN! Tannehill has some of the best camping this side of Jellystone national park. Full showers and electric hook ups even for those in TENTS! They also have REALLY nice cabins with full kitchens and the like. Everyone who attends should be able to stay on site in perfect comfort. But, there are a few five star Hotels not far away either for those who MUST have their HBO and MTV.

Lee.....from my experience from both attending & hosting, about half of who say they're coming will actually make it. Lots of things can disrupt the best made plans. Location greatly affects attendance, as does "who else is coming" & competition with other events. The Dixie meets I've attended have averaged about 80 people, I think. BTW, it's way more fun to attend a meet than it is to host one.
Ham & black-eyed peas & candied yams for supper here tonight. I'm about ready for some good ol' southern cooking, other than my own.

What is the name of the closest major airport? How far is the airport from the proposed meet area? Do they have rental cars available at the airport? How far are the motels from the meet? What is the cost to rent a cabin on-site at the meet?
Thanks in advance....put me down as a maybe!
Posted by Si Allen (Member # 420) on :
Heheheheheeee...Marty was asking me if there was going to be a Dixie Meet this year!
Like Susan....need some details!
Posted by Lee McKee (Member # 3533) on :
Well there Certainly seems to be some interest in a gathering of some sort in Alabama this Fall. I am hesitant to call it a Full Blown Letterhead Meet However. I'm not sure if a goal of 80 or so people is the object of happening at Tannehill. Not this year anyhow. If we have 30 or so people I would be happy. We still have heard nothing from the Mississippi Crew or anyone from Louisiana. I think that with Fuel cost being so darn High that our main group of folks would be from a State or two away. That being said EVERYONE would be more than welcome to come, just don't break your neck getting here. What I've discussed with the folks who agreed to help out planning this little event is maybe a glorified Campout with a bunch of sign stuff to fill our days. Panel jams and a group project for sure. Maybe a class on this or that. I was thinking (have not discussed it with anyone) would be a "Computer free" weekend. Lets brush up on our hand painting and mural type stuff. Would love to have a gold guilder and a wood craver showing off their craftsmanship. We will still have a plotter there to cut stencils or plot patterns but, No CNC or Digital Printing. I was thinking of teaching a little about what I know quite a bit about which is metal casting. I thought that it would be neat to help people make a mould and actually pour a Bronze Plaque. Anyway just a thought.
Couple of questions although -
Would people be put off if the meet was Friday, Saturday, and Part of Sunday? to give people time to get out of town before Sunday Night?
How much of each day would you guys want us to provide food? It maybe easier for everyone if we provided ALL the meals so no one has to leave the Park. This may result in a little higher cost for everyone compared to other Meets. But, It would be easier for everyone.
I will post a bit more about the details as they become more solid. But, as of now it looks like we will be having some sort of meet in November and I can't wait to see you all there! Thanks!
Posted by Amy Brown (Member # 1963) on :
George,
What's wrong with the Hindu Hilton. It had bed bugs, blood, bullet holes....
To this day I am so scared of booking hotels! HE HE HE...
Posted by Rodger MacMunn (Member # 4316) on :
Lee.......smaller meets are a lot less work for the host, but I think you can expect to attract a lot more than 30 people where you are, without really trying hard. You should probably try to attend a couple of meets so you know what to expect. I'm not trying to discourage you, in fact, the opposite. Planning a meet is like planning a wedding.
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
Lee, you could try limiting registration to 40. That usually makes a meet more desirable to attend for some reason. You will get a lot of people saying they will come, but about half of them don't. Nobody registers till the last minute (except Cat! She is prompt!) so it's hard to plan meals or get funds for supplies. Pur "feelers" out to your local suppliers to see what they will donate. Rodger's right, planning a meet is like planning a wedding. And the best-planned meets are the most fun for the attendees. I like an impromptu feel that's actually running like clockwork. Make sure to recruit a lot of help from non-Letterhead relatives for the "grunt" work. See if John Smith and his Travelling Grill are available for hire. With his breakfasts, you don't need to plan a lunch. My hosting days are over, but you know me, I gotta give advice every now and again. Love....Jill
Posted by Mark Fair Signs (Member # 289) on :
Everything Jill says is good advice. The First Dixie Letterheads meet at my shop back in December of 1999 would not have flown without the help by the mother of all letterhead meets, Mike Meyer. I had a no frills meet and charged no cover, only everyone paid 6 bucks for bar-b-que. The meet cost me shop time and a couple hundred bucks. The 200 dollars was a great investment forme because I met some lifetime friends. here are the folks that attended... Mike Meyer Sonny Franks R.T. Thomas C.J. Allan Jimmy Chathan Bruce Bowers Matthew and Micki Broadus George Perkins John Bird Don and Nora Hulsey Pat and Bobbie King Mark Jordan Terry Teague Old Paint Judy and Roger Pate Steve Estes Chris Elliot Bob Harper Fred Holmes Johnny Hodges Michael Harris Robert Fair Sam Filippo Bruce Westfall Linda Silver Eagle Nancie Phillips
I know i left out a few more.
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
It was a great time Bubba! I remember buying a $150 plane ticket to Atlanta, John Byrd gave me a ride to and from...Thanks John! I had a foreign exchange student with me at the time, an excellent kid from Holland named Aart Guertsen. He walked all over Montgomery! The memories and friends that I made from that meet are priceless!
The advice that Roger and Jill are talking about is right on the money..hosting is never gonna be a walk in the park, but with everyone's help, egos left at home, great learning FUN attitudes, the sky is the limit.
Successfull meets are all centered around one thing..........PEOPLE.
You can have a meet in a WalMart parking lot, and have a great time. This meet looks to be in a historic park that is rich in Civil War history, which makes it all the more "Southern!"
The sense of humor from southerners I know is pretty hard to match, they have a whole different outlook on life and it's really something to experience.
I will head up some sort of hands on seminar if ya like Lee. One thing I would stress for people attending is this........
I see many folks get to a meet, get all set-up at an easel, got their board in front of them all ready to go...then they hit the wall.....they do not know what to paint. They get intimidated by the other painters around them.
Well, here's a remedy to take away the guess work, and just have fun!
Make a pattern of something that you always wanted to paint....this way, the layout is already done for you......you pounce it on, or mask it first, pounce, cut, and then airbrush, bevel edge, etc. Something at a meet will inspire you to try something new. A technique that you know would work on a certain job back in your shop in your town.....well, everyone is in the same boat. We all have to walk up the same ladder one rung at a time, no one is way on the top, and no one is way on the bottom....we are all equal and the more you share, the more you learn.
The original Letterhead motto contained this sentence...."Letterheads is for the novice"
Who is the novice? We all are! We all never stop learning, when you think you know it all, you're done for.
There's nothing I like better at a Letterhead Meet than to find someone "hiding" in the corner and get to know them and show them some tricks and basics...it's great to see them "light-up" and start to really get into it!
This is just what the Letterhead mentality is all about....It was done to me by Jeff Cahill back at my first meet in Texas 1988, and it's my Letterhead duty to pass it on....I encourage you to do the same...see what the network is like, it can be fantastic!
This last March, I spent time helping fellow Letterheads Sonny Franks and Donald Thompson on jobs in Georgia and South Kack-a-lackie, and if not for Letterheads, I would not have gone to the Trashers/Wild Hockey game in ATLANTA, or seen toured the world's largest redneck museum in Laurens S. Carolina!
SOrry about gittin on the soap box here fols but get ta ramblin'......
maybe the meet will get you so fired up that in 3 months after this Alabama meet, you'll wanna come to my Meet in Balmy Minnesota in February!
Hey, ask Sonny and Rayn Young, and Donald, and Cisco! They had a GREAT time in the snow!!!!
Lee, will there be Hockey at this meet? Birmingham must have a team!

Posted by Mark Fair Signs (Member # 289) on :
If this meet does materialize, I will talk to my band and see if they would like to play the event. All we got to do is feed them.LOL I believe Tannehill has an outdoor stage?
Posted by Nancie W. Phillips (Member # 3484) on :
Hey Lee... Count me in too! And if you can get John Smith to come and to bring his grill, I'd be more than happy to help prep and cook. Tannehill will be georgeous that time of year. If anyone does fly into the Atlanta airport, I'd be happy to give them a lift to B'ham too.
Posted by Lee McKee (Member # 3533) on :
Thanks For the great response everyone! It looks like we can do this for sure this year. I've spoken to the park and have gotten all needed info to them. I will be getting with the Planning Commitee of this Southern Muster Next Week and we will put the details out there for everyone to see ASAP. I suspect y'all will see something The first week in June. If you guys have any ideas or words of wisdom for us, shoot me and IM or an E-mail. I'll need all the help I can get.
Posted by Dave Grundy (Member # 103) on :
To add to Mike's suggestion about how to actually DO something at a meet.
I have attended quite a few meets in the past. I always felt intimidated because I was a "vinyl jockey".
For the Maritime Round-up in Moncton, I was determined to actually "do something" so I started a gold leaf project at home and took it to the meet and finished it there.
It felt good to be doing "something", just like everyone else, and it felt good to be doing something other than the vinyl work that was my day to day bread and butter work.
For those who are vinyl guys, don't be afraid of taking your laptop either. There are always other folks who want to share program tips and techniques. AND, believe it or not, there are always some traditionalists who are also interested in learning a few tricks on the computer.
It is all about sharing ideas, techniques and ideas... no matter how they are accomplished.
AND the fellowship is unequalled!!!!
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Bravo Senor Grundy!
The real key is to PLAN AHEAD!
Let me give you an idea of what the host has to do, and what he is limited to do...
HOST: Job 1 Provide an adequate Venue that is well marked, have space for easels, a paint table, working tables for carving etc. a portfolio table. Promote Promote, PROMOTE IT! Line-up food. Line up information on housing (Hotels-Local boarding-camp areas-shower access etc.) Proper portable toilets or existing toilets WELL MARKED.
Have a Registration area that is clearly marked, and free of outside interuptions. Vendor area if so needed. Assemble a "goodie bag" of information and freebees from Vendors and chamber committees, they can even provide the bags)
This is the MOST IMPORTANT THING LEE....
Listen up....
DELEGATE JOBS to Friends and volunteers....or risk, heart attack, stroke, insane-ness, divorce, business goes belly up. I am not kidding folks.
Seen it happen.
ANyway, here is the duties of YOU the ATTENDING LETTERHEAD.....
Give the host PLENTY OF SPACE and DO NOT BOTHER HIM/HER with QUESTIONS..They have enuf on their plate! Register, and take a look around and find everything you need to function..(RESTROOMS-EASELS-CHAIRS-PAINT AREA-(this will be CLEARLY MARKED by the HOST and his staff!!!)
I cannot stress it enuf to make the meet go smooth for the host...PUT YOURSELF IN HIS SHOES!
Consider going to a meet as if you are going out on a job...Except there will be paint provided. Bring the kit you use and the essential things needed..nothing bothers a host more than to walk around trying to find YOU some masking tape or a stabilo! BRING YUR OWN!
This is a real important thing as well...
You are going to be as giddy as a school girl and intimidated. You will not realize the stress being put on yourself until maybe later that night...Keep your stories short, don't cut other people off, be courteous. The friends you are about to meet will be lifelong, relax, enjoy it! Think about what makes you comfortable in your own shop, and get in that "Zone." If not, get up and walk around and watch and introduce yourself to others...keep it fresh! Your face may hurt from laughing, you may not be able to sleep because you have just been shown a whole new world of what YOU can now take back to your shop and mix it into your everyday work load..and make it more fun, it will look better than ever, and you now have a network of friends that are all on the same page.
Leave your EGOS and NEGATIVE ATTITUDES at the door. PERIOD. You know what i mean, we are all adults here. (politics-religon-guns etc.No place for this stuff here)
Remember, someday, YOU may host a meet, so watch and learn...pay attention to everything. If you see something going wrong, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, and HELP the HOST! Pick up garbage or spilled paint, all these little things make everyone more at ease.
Bring business cards to pass out and exchange, bring your lap top if ya like, why not? Bring your musical instrument to play at appropiate times!
Bring a great open minded attitude and watch it change you life....I can speak from experience here folks, and I want YOU to see what I see, and feel. It's a beautiful thang!
I will gladly to a pictorial workshop, and I can get others started as well...we have a good start here, let's help Lee and get the ball rolling!
I will contact the suppliers I know and see what we can get to play with.....Sounds like Lee may have the makings of one heck of a quality meet here! Rally round the confederate flag and let's get r done!
Posted by Lee McKee (Member # 3533) on :
I'm not going to say that this little shindig is not going to a Ton O'work cuz I know it will be. Hell, it already has been a bit of work just in the Pre-Planning stage. But, I know that you guys are all well meaning adults and in a very real way this will be a vacation for most.
I'm saying this because I gave up planning our British car show last year. If you have never attempted to arrange 200+ Big headed Egos into nice neat parking spaces, well you just have not seen how truely things can go FUBAR. A lot of these car nuts are Very petty, and every one wants thier "baby" to get first prize. Half of these buggers don't even LIKE british cars. They just know they can't win trophies at the big American car shows without some SERIOUS cash invested. Not really about friendship between people with a common mind. More like High school all over again.
I think that this will be a bit different. At the very least we LIKE each other and we LOVE what we do. Many of us have never even met each other and we still share some pretty important trade secrets and experineces. Stuff that would never be done in the "car world" Lets look at this as a chance to spend some quality time with some really good friends. A Reunion for some a Blind Date for others. Either way we will have plenty of Great FOOD + Great MUSIC + Great SIGNS = Great FUNNN!
Special Thanks to Mike Meyer, Mark Fair, and RT Thomas for helping out with the planning here and I will be asking others to help as well... so get ready!
