Well, fresh off of the MicroMeet, we were asked to letter this 12' x 48' billboard, seam like were getting alot of requests for flags, Billboards, Helmets, and digital prints. How about yourselfs? I usually like a few days rest after a meet, but the customer couldnt wait.

We called Eder Flag today for a custom flag. They said they are doing nothing but US Flags, their backlog is 6 weeks, and they are only communicating by fax. Talk about 15 minutes of fame!

I have many calls about doing car dealers with patriotic messages. Just today I did a 36 foot wide American flag waving in the breeze with "See the USA in a CHEVROLET". The stars are a real trick getting them to line up right with no pattern and freehand, as I work. 1-3-5-7-9-9-7-5-3-1 are the rows in bias, in case you might be wondering. Red stripes at the top and bottom, also. I have another similar one on Saturday and again on three days next week. Everyone wants 'fancy' and no one even blinks about the price. I feel a bit guilty about taking advantage of the area's emotional response, but my hefty donation to the Red Cross on Sunday is counterbalancing my thinking, I guess. Bush told us to get back to work and to do all we can. Excessive profits are best spent back at a deserving cause and I love the opportunity to work hard and have something to give back.

Yep...just on my way to see a customer...He also wants a BIG flag on the side of his building. He wants it either flying in the breeze or a tattered flag..
I agree also that it is IMPORTANT to spread the money around at this time....so...Hi-Ho..it's off to work we go!

One of the local radio stations here had a banner made that is the size of a semi trailer. Everyone who signs it pays a $1 to the firemans union for widows and children of the fallen firefighters. I made a neat flag and eagle design on the back of my van window. we just went out to the stadium where they are doing the banner and gave away 15 of these for a $10 donation and I installed them while they waited.
One guy gave a $100.00 donation for it on his truck.
It caost me some vinyl and a little time, alot less than the people of New York and DC.
