Hi everyone- Just got a chance to get outta da shop. As Felix stated, numb-nuts me put the wrong zip on the flyer! And also, the printer got Pierre Tardif's name wrong, but he said it's OK. And, in the font they used, it looks like the free campsite is 11 miles from Mars- it's a mile & a half. So those are the first snafus I've had. Had 2 more seminars added this week-Motorcycle Graphics by Steve C. "The Wizard" outta New Middleton, OH (please don't ask me to spell his last name!)Sounds like a goodie- Thanks, Steve. And- our friend Frank Manning from 1-Shot will be giving a seminar about this terrific paint. And- had 2 Letterheads visit this week (I think that puts it up to 10 now) Jonathan Stone, Sign Man of the Ozarks, and Ed "CJ" Williams. And- I'm working on getting dual grand marshals for the Letterhead parade, two gentlemen in their 80's, both old-time Pittsburgh sign painters. They actually have painted on buggies back in the day. One is related to Lou and Gary Mottmann, the other is a pal. Things are really starting to fly...I've heard some speculation that this might not be the greatest meet ever. But ya know what? It's gonna be the best damn thing I can put on. I'm patterning it after Mazeppa, which was rockin'. I might not know how to paint the perfect sign, but I can by-gum throw a fun-filled-phenomenal-festival! I am so excited, knowing all the goodies in advance, I just can't wait till you all get here! See Ya Love- JILL

Hi Jill,
Best wishes on the Mars meet! Too early to tell if I'll be there, as we are working on the Route 66 Firecracker Walldog Meet ( July 11-14 ) here in Central Illinois USA.
Here is a tip that will help with juggleing family, business and meet problems:
BREATH DEEPLY AND HOLD FOR 5 SECONDS AND THEN SLOWLY EXHALE. Repeat as often as necessary, which could be every 5 minutes! Posted by Jaime Doyle (Member # 2422) on :
I hope you got my email.. I would like to have more information about this letterhead in Mars... We would like to go... Thanks... Posted by David Kilgore (Member # 110) on :
Hi Jill, We'll be there and looking forward to it. Hats off to you for even attempting to pull off a letterhead meet let alone an international one. It will be great, thanks ahead of time for all the hard work.
Dave
