Hi Folks. I promise that this will be the last post about names for my meet next summer! I am fresh back from an art exhibit, American Accents, in Charleston, W VA. exhibit
One of the really cool things I learned there is that most portraiture in the early American colonies was done by sign painters! They were called Limners. In the dictionary, this has more to do with those who produced illuminated manuscripts, but according to information posted at the Clay Center, they were sign painters! One of the amazing artists that was featured was George Caleb Bingham, who painted life as he knew it on the Missouri river in the 1840s.
His work reminded me of the Allegheny River. That being said....here are the suggested names:
Allegheny Sign Swap BACKWOODS JAM (or A.S.S. BACKWOODS) JP and the backwoods slingers Jillbilly Mountain Jam Hollar in the Holler Camp Artistic Camp Allegheny Meet in the Backwoods Deliverance Up yonder ways down the holler a' piece FEST paintstock Color In The Holler Backwoods meet Yuppie Scum Trashin' Meet The shady lady's coroplast panel party in the back woods where no yuppy scum sucking non-facepainting people are allowed - but youin's can come Yankee Meet ALLEGHENY GETAWAY Mountain Wedding Jam The LUSTY HILLBILLY HOEDOWN Back-Up-In-There brushes in the bushes brushes in the brush camp coroplast jill's coro-blast painted pines Busty Hillbilly Brushes in the Bushes Paintin' in the Poison Ivy Backwoods Brush Party Backwoods Brush Jam Backwoods Getaway Backwoods Brush Bash!

Thanks so much....love ya...Jill

Jill, it's your meet... a lot of folks threw down some impulsive contributions for the sake of discussion... but there are probably only a small handful that you could really get behind & allow it to represent so much of the heart & soul you will be putting into it, that I think YOU should pick 3 or 4 , and then have us vote.
Isn't there already a brush bash? If so, IMO you are too original of a character to just tack one new word on someone elses existing identity.
I liked ALLEGENY GETAWAY but that didn't seem to make the cut. I also like Jillbilly Mountain Jam... what do YOU like?

I know you said 4.
I agree with what Doug said about you needing to be overjoyed with it and narrowing it down to your handful of favorites.

Jill, I like the "A.S.S. BACKWOODS PANEL JAM", or "A.S.S. BACKWOODS JAM" I think it leaves a lot of neat options for awesome panels. Just My Two Cents Worth.

Love the picture Jill. Shame your meet wasn't a goldfest, I could imagine spooky voices from woodlands entreating you to "Gild and they will come"

Anything ending in JAM is fun. It makes me think of Jelly, and I like jelly.
...thats a bit odd, but I'll leave it.
The word Allegheny is neat too.
I don't know if I would where the A.S.S. Backwoods shirt in public. A mall by us wouldn't allow people wearing 'suggestive' text on their clothing and were asked to leave.

With a name like A.S.S. Backwoods you know someone is gonna do a panel starring Elmer Fudd.. (and if not, hopefully I just gave someone an idea)

Two(2) words seem to work BEST when used as a panel "THEME" ie. Civil War,Duck Soup,Swamp Land, Melbourne Migration,Coupe DeMain,Rat Fink,etc etc etc.
YOUR meet,YOUR name,YOUR rules
