Duckie, When I had decided to go to Evansville for my first meet, I was a little fearful that I would have to be a watcher. The meet wasn't what I expected. I expected that letterheads were going to be doing their things and I would just be another watcher. I was very surprised (especially when I found out your overdry, lifeless ponytail was fake)to hear my name called by strangers as I walked up to the hose house Friday night. Sometimes I would watch and ask questions and other times got involved right up to my elbows. The meet was more than what I expected. I can't wait until the next.

I "lurked" for a year or so before I posted many sides of the Moon ago. I did not have the guts to post a question let alone an answer!!! Now they can't shut me up! LOL
Posting here not only broke me out of the shell I was in (and/or the clinical depression the Dr.s had tagged me with) but it got me motivated to go my first meet. My gawd that was the closest thing to an artistic orgasim I have EVER had. (Can I say that here? ) The high I left with after that first meet (that the Lettervillians here basically talked me into to going to) was incredible... and NO I did NOT hang out at the spray booth too long! Ron may still have my write up on his website of my virgin flight to meet the gang at PSS. I wrote it stone cold sober but I was flying as high as kite with the adrenaline rush.
Posting here may not free your soul and lift you to a graphic bliss, but going to a meet will! I'd like to meet ya all too! (My pic will be here soon so you can pick me out of a crowd~ I'm not a hippy chick, but rather small, blonde, and quite until the sun sets... thus the Moon- it's my time zone= pm.)
For the traveling Letterheads- If you're stopping in at a California meet... our lights may be out but swinging a brush by the twilight of a Coleman lantern is good for EVERYone.
The supposed to be doing something else right now side of the Moon... but posting here!
...if you're gonna be addicted to something what a better place to be addicted to!
Oh! ...and if you post and don't get responses to it- don't freak. Sometimes it's a timing thing, sometimes it's a wording thing (ask a question in your post) or sometimes it's a mood thing- we are all artists ya know!

I am pretty much a professional lurker here on the BullBoard. It is because I am very slow at typing. PKing knows that when I get to a meet where I can communicate with my mouth and ears instead of my hands and eyes, I don't hold back a bit.

You have to be careful if you area late sleeper and you are at a meet where Don is he may try to get you up early to go to breakfast with him. I fooled him because I met him in the parking lot on the way to breakfast. haha

Well what a good spirt this topic has - thanks Pat. I haven't been to a meet yet but thanks to people like you I'm looking forward to getting to one eventually. Meantime I'll stick with the online meet that never ends.

Me? A lurker? Now and then, yes. And as for at meets, yes I am a lurker. Coz I can't even pull a brush decently... yet! But I'm getting more involved with meets I even did a bit of lettering at the last one. And the glue-chipping at Harvey bay was great... See, I'm getting there. And, I'm going to a meet this weekend! yay! Gail and Devo will be there, so I'll say hi, OK?

As you just posted one of the ten most wanted!(DON's) picture..
I hate lurking and am glad to be someone of the conversations.. (I know most times I am wrong and the odd time I am right!!) But it is still great to converse with others.
