Hi Heads! I am putting the final touches on the flyer for the 2002 International Letterheads Meet, "Letterheads on Mars". I would like to list the planned projects, seminars, & fun stuff on them. This will be your last chance to let me know if you're interested in teaching or talking to the group about anything & get your name in the flyer. If you wait till afterwards, your name & chosen subject will be printed on the schedules which will be handed out during registration. That's a good thing too! Doc Welty will be inserting 400 of them into AMAL, & I'm sending out an additional 3,100. I'll also try to get one on this BB, somehow, but Steve-n-Barb will hafta help me with that, cuz I'm computer-challenged. This is what I have so far: SEMINARS *Pinstriping & mini-graphics-Bob Bond *Hand-Lettering-Mike Meyer *Carving-Joe C. *Airbrushing-Rick Kubicki *SignGold-Artie Schilling PROJECT LEADERS Hardware Store Mural-Bill Beckner Foodland Mural-Bill Berberich Interior Train Station Windows-Artie Schilling Exterior Train Station Windows-Cam Bortz & John Jordan Dimensional "MARS" Sign- Rick Dolphens
T-Shirt design is by Bill Krupinski. Meet Logo is by Mike Meyer.
So, PLEASE let me know if you want to host a seminar or head a project. There are still a few available! Please email me or call me @ 724-586-6923 before next Thursday if ya wanna "jine up". Thanx-Love- JILL

Looks like things are really starting to come together Jill. Letterville is more than eager to do whatever it takes to ensure our time on Mars is a resonding success.
When plans firm up, we'll create an online information and registration form everyone can download and/or printout. We're also toying with the idea of bringing back The Letterville News. This would be a newsletter e-mailed to the almost 7,000 sign shops that have registered in the Letterville Database.
Here's another idea. If you are reading this post, and you know of someone who might be interested in helping out with this meet, scroll up to the top of this thread and click on the UBBFriend: Email this page to someone! link. Type in that person's e-mail and perhaps add a personal invite to them to visit this thread. Hit send and a link to this post is automatically sent. Very handy.
If you have any ideas on additional ways Letterville can help spread the word, please let us know.

Faye, None of us can exist in a vacume, we all need each others support, Jill is sitting on top of a very big wave...at this point we know it is coming...soon the properties of the wave will gather together....then the wave will begin to form...and it will begin to rise as we all make our final preperations...and then ...this wave of letterhead energy will crest into another amazing collection of incredible people who gather together to not only preserve our craft....but to advance it, and ourselves. It is a celebration of our craft and all are welcome. Jill gets to ride the crest, right under her is the experience of many professionals who have already put the plan in place and will share her joy. Now we need everyone to get together to PUUUUUSSSSHHH!!!! Then we got a "HAPPENIN" Joe, Makin Chips and Havin Fun! Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :

Hi Bill, glad to see YOU coming out of the woodwork too! Since I have been busy getting signals from Mars and thereabouts, I have been trying to decipher them. Symbols, music, visions, color and thoughts...there seems to be quite a commotion coming from that direction...ha! In all reality, I have been extremely interested in the simulation space station in northern Canada for quite sometime. The climate up there is the most similar to that in Mars and that is why this site was chosen. At my son's science fair we had a spokesperson with a demo table who came especially upon request from a younger boy at another school. It was really great that he took the time to explain anything and try to interest young people in the research going on with the planet. Amazing stuff, kind of makes you forget about the "small immediate" hassles of life, doesn't it? If I can swing it, we may get some communication from some Martian signfolks at my booth, hopefully it will be interractive! (working on it!) ***The booth I am trying to recreate is similar to the space station on Devon Island in Canada, and certainly am going to need some help constructing it, only a "mini-me" mars version! Hope someone is interested!

Hey there heads....
Being that I am from the place where the only RECORDED martian landing took place. I will see what kind of interesting stuff(crap) I can get from Grovers Mill, NJ. Yes some of the people took it seriously here. There is even a memorial site/park and historical society to celebrate the event here.
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
Just Me agin... The meeting went great. There will be so many cool things to do & see. It's a lot of work & planning, but I'm not sorry yet...I just want it to be the best for everybody! Love- JILL

Hey Jill, can I get a picture of the train station and measurements for the windows? Thanks!
Posted by Fernando Ocampo (Member # 2133) on :
some one should teach a short class on computer letter distortion and basic sign design, even old timers can learn new tricks.......no pun intended to all the dinosaurs still roaming the industry
