He means "pimp" like give people a hard time, pimp them. No, that's not what I meant...like make them the brunt of a joke, like Aston K. does on that show where they call it "PUNKED". Not pimp like a purple fedora with a feather in it and a mink coat.....well, you know.

What tools/supplies should I bring? This is my first "Official" meet (no offense Bill and Jane Diaz) and I really don't know what I will be doing or where I can contribute. Dave Utter was very helpful at Bill and Jane's mini-meet, but it looks like he's got his project allready started. How do you decide who helps who and where? I'm really excited to get to go since I live within driving distance.
I plan on coming in Friday morning to help, so a check list would be great. Thanks for your friendly support. I'll be looking for an update here or hopefully someone can email me directly.
Sign-cerely, Steve

I would suggest bringing any fitches that you might like to use. I will be bringing down some extra brushes, kind of old and beat up, but they usually get the job done. Not sure what others are using for paint, but I'll be using one-shot lettering enamel on The Big Eli project. Usually the lifts and scaffolding are provided. Projectors are nice to have but I am bringing my own down. I guess you can bring whatever you feel might be helpful on a large wall project, or just bring yourself.
For the Walldog meets I have been fortunate enough to attend, I tend to migrate towards the wall that needs the most work or has the least amount of helpers on it. It's kind of up to you as to how much or how little you would like to do or how many projects you want to try your hand at. I have a ton of work to do on my wall and probably won't be sleeping much. If you'd like to help on my wall come on over, I have work for all levels of experience.
I'm going to be loading up the truck later today and heading down to Jacksonville tomorrow morning. If anyone needs a ride between Menomonie, and Springfield, Il let me know.
Looking forward to another great meet! See you all there. If you have any questions give me a call.

I am writing for Bill as he is busily getting ready... He says fitches are important. They are the best for those brick and block walls, or the outdoor stuff. I think even housepainter brushes work to paint in large areas of color on some murals. I think some of these walls are going to be done inside, on panels and installed later so regular quills and flats work there. I think there is also a panel jam area, so if you want to get in on that, bring those brushes. As far as other supplies: sunscreen will probably be essential, a big brimmed hat? rubber gloves, maulstick if you use one, camera, lawn chair, sheets & towels for your dorm room, and someone suggested FANS so it doesn't sound like there is air-co. As far as where to work, we ALL want you!! When we attend a walldog, we usually jump around and work at different walls. I think that is what is so great about these meets. You get to try different media (some walls are oil-base, some are latex), different styles (some murals are really basic, paint in this area with this color and others are almost photographic images), you can paint where you feel comfortable and you get to work and visit with some of the greatest people around! We ALWAYS have a blast! And Dale, if you need a pit stop on your way down, we are less than a mile off of I-55 and about 20 mile from I-39. We will probably be down there sometime Wednesday. We're EXCITED!!

Steve, Some of us are doing our "walls" on dibond panels to be installed later, so bring some quills and/or flats as well. Those of us who are flying in rather than driving are limited as to what we can carry, so things like Penetrol or other flow enhancers, brush oil, exacto knives, etc are always appreciated.

For those of you using Interstate 55 to Springfield and then West on 72/36 to get to J'ville, The interchange at Springfield to get on 72 can be confusing. I have put a little help on this web page to get you through, hopefully without missing your turn. Just about everyone I have talked to who has been through here has missed their turn there. (including myself) hope this helps.

Be careful not to get lost in O'Hare if that's where you're headed, Miles. I had 1.5 hours to connect to Pittsburgh from Dublin there, and I BARELY made it. That terminal is soo big! Are you traveling Aer Lingus? I was really pleased with their service. Have a safe trip. Bring sunscreen! love....Jill

Leave a trail of bread crumbs, vinyl scraps, paint drippings... I'll follow you down there. I hope "ol Bessie" doesn't give me any headaches on the trip. Truck needs tires, a/c doesn't quite give out the shivers like it used to, and as of this week, you have to roll down the window to let yourself out because the door handle rod broke for the 3rd time since I've owned it. See you there!
