I'd really like to attend my first walldog meet but I can't commit yet. My youngest daughter is due July 8th but she usually goes 2 weeks over. She thinks that she is going to go early this time.
I just have to wait to commit until we are a little closer.

Thanks for following up guys. Some registrations have begun to trickle in. I hope rest will follow soon.
Dale, Kansas will return to AMP for another summer. We have already planned on closing up shop for a couple days and bringing the whole crew down. Our crew consistes of Sarah, Beth, Kansas, Nathan(our new assistant)Scott(helped me paint the big Abe in Lincoln) and myself. We might have another 2 painters with us as well.
Sarah has a couple set designers an scenic painting students at here school that have expressed interest in comming but they are not for sure yet.
The list keeps growing. Which is good because there will be a lot of painting going on.

I am planning on attending my first meet ever! I have to come because the 23rd is my birthday. This will be my present to myself. I haven't sent in my form yet so I better get to it. Can't wait to meet everyone and share stories. Jacksonville is only about 1 and 1/2 hours from my shop. Looks like it will be a blast.
Sign-cerely, Steve Luck

I've got the same answer as Dale Manor... I've got a wall to paint, so I better be there as well. We're at peak busy season right now, so I've barely had time to breathe, let alone think beyond what's due up next in the shop!
I've been putting together Brush Bash 2 information and planning as well, so I've got a full plate... it's coming up quick.

Jill we are here to keep you guessing at what is comming next. I still have about 3 pieces that artwork is not comlete on as of yet. I will post images when the last couple roll in my door.
This is gonna be a good one.
My best suggestion is to drop your plans and head over to Jacksonville Illinois.
AAAhhhh!!! I can smell the thinner already.

Hello Adam, Its a big "SORRY" from me, as I will not be able to attend this meet , I was looking forward to getting over but I have to get back to work.
You know how much time and effort goes in to running a meet, and to clearing up after everyone has gone.
I hope you have a great time and I look forward to swatching all the photo's you will be posting.
It'll be great to meet you down in Jacksonville. I was down there a couple of weeks ago and it looks like a nice little downtown area. Having just returned from Lodi, I can't wait to head off to the next Walldoggin' event and make some more memories! Come on by my wall and I'll have a brush ready for ya.
To all visitors to the board....If you didn't or couldn't make it to Lodi, here's your chance to join in on another great Walldog event. Come on down and meet some fellow Letterhead's at what is sure to be a great get-together.

I spent yesterday in J-ville doing some more organizational stuff. This meet is getting better and better everyday. I want to make sure everyone knows a couple things.
#1 The Dorms. You will need to bring your own bedding. We have an entire dorm at McMurray College, Which is located about 3 blocks from the mural sites. I have also been informed that every dorm room is equiped witha broadband connection. There is no wireless connection in the building but you have wired conection. So those of you with laptops bring a ethernet cable.
#2 Arrivals. Sarah is trying to keep track of who is comming and when. This will help us out with getting food and lodging squared away. If you are flying in make sure we know when you are getting in so I can make plans to pick you up.
#3 Our home base for the week will be the Jacksonville Theater Guild. For registration and meals this will be the meeting spot. I will get a map posted soon so everyone can get where you need to be.
#4 Schedule. The schedule is being put togethor in J-ville as we speek. The fianl version should be posted by the 15th.
With all that said keep us posted and we will do the same.
Remember: Jacksonville, IL if you are going to Florida pick me up a souvineer.

Just so people know (there were a few people that didn't understand a few years ago in Lincoln when we stayed at the dorms) there is nothing in your dorm room but a bed. You need to bring, sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, whatever you normally might need to sleep. This is not a motel with all that and some people had to make a quick trip to Wal-mart to buy what they needed. Another thing many forgot is a jacket or sweatshirt. I KNOW it's June, but we do get some cold evenings, sometimes.
Sorry, it's the Mom in me. I have to make sure everyone has what they need! LOOKING FORWARD to seeing everyone!

I will try and bring a couple extra sleeping bags and pillows for those flying in. But do toss a towel and washcloth in your bag before you come over.

I'll bring extra bedding & towels too, in case anyone need it. (Good idea, Dale!)

Jane, glad you mentioned that, it does take up alot of luggage space. I was going to ask if anyone had some extra sheets and blankets, pillow doesn't need to be fancy or new to donate for that weekend?? I can bring wash cloths and towels.
