I will be traveling with my 14 yr. old (Nick) Don't know if I can fit a bike.
Have had room reserved for a while but may (probably not)(might)(I don't know) tent it now that the wife and daughter aren't coming along.
Glad you like the bottle, I've been having fun with them ... (thanks for the toys) but ... engine turning on a small cylinder ... not so fun after a while (hehe) and what the heck do they print those bottles with??? I tried getting the print off with Lacquer thinner, acetone, xylene ... ended up figuring a way to hook it to my drill and sand the printing off.

Sorry, Dana and I are going to have to repeal our reservations and ask for a refund.
It seems that there is going to be way too many cool people and just too much fun to be had at this meet.
Wait... Dana says we are going and that is that.

I dunno how they do it, Mark. I even looked here We have more registrations coming in! Mark Matyjakowski & Nick Steve Racz Last night we took advantage of a huge 4th of July sale at Shop'n'Save. Bought 17 cases of pop for starters, including Kissy's Mountain Dew and Dana's diet vanilla cherry Dr. Pepper. They have all been stashed at Nanny's to keep them safe from the kids. Our July 4th will be a work day up at the camp. John Pat will be having his semi-annual bluegrass festival there in two weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures. After we get back from Mazeppa the real fun starts! Menus! Baking! Freezing! Prepping panels! Hauling easels! Shopping! Paperwork! Organizing supplies! But I am so excited and I know Stevo is too. Can't wait to actually enjoy my own meet with yins. All these kids who are coming will have a blast. Love....Jill PS Gene, shall I prepare pugly tempura? I know it's yer fave.

I'll have to remember how to drive in hilly country again. Cause I know Jane won't be any help. She'll have one hand on my wrist and the other on the dash as if it will help.
When I first moved out there before I was in my 20's and had more balls. But I remember I "was" the SLOWEST driver on the roads. Going downhill with those semi's chasing me put the fear of God into this flatlander.
I'll be ready to drink a few beers upon arrival if that's permissable.

If anyone is wondering where we are till the 11th...we're at The Muster. If anyone at The Muster is wondering why Stevo is sunburnt... We helped to red up the camp today and went into the river to cool off afterwards. Stevo thinks that everyone will love the place, rustic as it is. Love....Jill

Got 'em Bill! Mazeppa has us all riled up for the Jamboree! A big ol' box of Ronan paint awaited us upon our return, as well as some more registrations. And a phone call from Magoo! (I won't tell him about the freshwater mussels in the river) It's gonna be fun! The chap with the mohawk is my 9-yr-old, Justis. Love....Jill

What is expected at a meet? In other words, what might we expect to be doing, signwise?
Do we bring our own panels? Are we working on a group project? Do we need to have some prep work done before we leave for the meet?
I looked at the Mazeppa photos and tried to figure it out. Jill's will be my first meet. I don't want to show up in jeans and everyone else is in tuxes, if you catch my drift.

Ok, here is a bit of Newbie Info. I dunno how most meets are run, but this is how I do it: Yes there will be various panels from aluminum to slate. I have saved remnants from all my cut stuff and we are also attempting to cut & paint a few custom shapes. I won't have the most paint ever, but there will be plenty to go around. 1-Shot and Ronan have donated about 40 half-pints, and I'm gonna skim and strain my own paint too. Plus stir sticks, cups, thinner to clean yer brushes and oil to dunk em in. And plenty of paper towels. There will be easels to lean your stuff against and also chairs to sit on in case yer a flat-painter like myself. The panel jam area itself is in a covered pavilion, but we may extend it to a huge tented area too. There is electricity and running water. I have no compressors, but hopefully some kind soul will bring one in case anyone wants to airbrush. You are always welcome to make a panel in advance to display and keep or to give away. We may paint the back of the stage (dry brush effect with fitches) but we might not! Usually at a meet, you think something up and paint it out to give to a pal or to trade. I'll set up a display area for this. Bring plenty of business cards! Wear old clothes, it's not a fashion show and we are camping in the wilderness. Be sure to pack a rain poncho and a sweatshirt. We have some tasty door prizes too! It's gonna be fun. Love.....Jill

There is plenty of room to camp onsite, be it in a tent or motorhome. The bunkhouse, alas, is full up. Call one of the 3 motels listed on page 1 of this thread to see if there are rooms available. I'm sure that there are. My uncle said that the most they ever had at this camp was 300 people. Our family reunion is held here every year with at least 200, so I am confident that everyone will be able to squeeze in somewhere. He is hosting his semi-annual bluegrass festival this coming weekend if anyone would like to go in for a sneak peek. It's free to the public. Love....jill

I'll pack the compressor in the truck and bring it down. I'm thinking some airbrushing would be fun...or we could put on reverse and give Harris and Alan some faux hickeys.
This is gonna be a fun one. Rapid
PS: I just booked the last room at the Elmenton. They're full up now.

Hey Ray, Harris can have mine! haha Your gonna land me in hot water!
John Smith, How does a roll of Taylor Ham sound? (kind of like Pork Roll?) If I bring it will you cook it up? That along with eggs, cheese, ketchup, salt and pepper makes a great greasy sandwich. (especially good on a toasted onion roll)
