Kay's coming too, right? Yeah, we are getting excited too but we will be worn out by the time we get there! It's been VERY busy here, lots of outdoor jobs. The 17th our oldest son is getting married in Chicago, very fancy, but small. Service at Northwestern's Chapel and the reception at the Yacht Club. (la-de-da!) The 20th, seven of my girlfriends and I are going back up to Chicago for the night and going to see the play "Menopause". They say it's hilarious! Then when I get back Wednesday night, we pack it up and leave again for the meet! It is all fun stuff but is going to take me a week to PACK for three different trips! I NEED some fun stuff though!!

Myself and Stewart Mclaren are looking forward to meeting friends old and new in Lincoln. Although we are both very busy at this time of year it will be great to get away. Any requests for anything Scottish..better get your orders in now....Whiskey unfortunately is off the menu..They have stopped letting locals export it...Shame really.

I'm probably most excited about staying in a college dorm. I'm visualizing a "panty" raid. I'll tell you this, I've done more outdoor painting this year than in the last 10 years. Just repainted 2) 24' X 10' sign/murals with fellow letterhead Steve Connor, and it was great to be outdoors along the highway with the cars honkin' as they passed. It was cool to have a fellow letterhead close by to help -- that's what it's all about.
Hope to see some of you. Wall painting is alive and well in America, and if you want to add it to your repertoire, make sure you're there. I guarantee we will giggle and let go.

Bring us a nice Haggis, Laddie!!! Do they allow Scotsmen to fetch Sheep Offal through Customs, but not Whiskey? Philistines!! What can you expect from a country that lets bored hausfraus, downsized yuppies and retired piano-movers run (so-called) sign shops? Haggis without Whiskey is like...like... well it's not like Scotland, now is it??!! Aye Right, Laddie!

Scott, I have no idea what a Haggis is? Is she taller than me, remember I like slender women.

Just a little over a week away and the town of Lincoln, Illinois will be rocking. If you haven't sent in your registration yet, don't worry there's always room for one more walldog. This is going to be a great time that you won't want to miss. I can't wait, it's going to be a blast, seeing some old friends and meeting new ones. Hey, Meyer give me a call. The land of Lincoln is where it's at.

Hello friends! The time is near! The Goretski trio will be there on Mon. night or Tues. morn. Quinn has a hockey camp and will have to miss... boy is he ****ed! we are looking forward to seeing everyone again and hope that the people who attended the Atlanta meet can all make it back! Mike Meyer has delegated the many projects to us lucky ones and we will not let him down. I know details are sketchy but Mike knows that we face this kind of grind daily in this business and if anyone can make a success out of a concept it is the artists! To those of you on the fence... I urge you to not miss this opportunity. Check out the talent that is coming(the other guys); and wall doggin' is the prime opportunity to work with these guys and contribute to our cause. Everyone learns and grows. I expect to learn a great deal as always. This is year three in this region and the towns are starting to invite us! I have heard hopefull buzzing that the Route 66 Phenomenon will adopt us as a yearly festival or more? Now is a great chance to make history as a letterhead and may we knock their socks off! See Ya There! Andy Goretski
