    The meet is free to attend.
    My mom is driving me down so I will have to behave myself.
    Been checking US/UK fares on the web lately & have seen em
    as low as $197 round trip! Wish I had the Net when I booked my
    flight last year.
    The guys who are hosting this are really nice.
    I met them both at the Mazeppa Muster in February.
    Donald wears a shirt that says “We fix ugly signs” He is a good egg.
    And Ryan does custom painting on gun stocks, helmets, and motorcycles.
    There are motels with special rates nearby, and door prizes,
    and lots of good Southern cookin. Yeehaw!
    Love…JILL 😉

    Gunstocks, helmets and motorcycles! 😮 Sounds like my kind of bash 😉 😉

    I doubt I’m going to get time away this time, but I’d love to attend one of these meets, they look great. Will you post us some piccies of the meet though Jill, let us know how it went, who painted/signed what and who the guy pictured drunk in a corner doing a poor elvis impression was? 😎

    Cheers, Dewi

    We had such a great time.
    The weather was gorgeous at nearly 80f,
    the trees were blooming and the grass was green.
    Thanks for the photos Joe!
    You sure made a lotta chips!
    Love…Jill 😉

    Thanks for asking.
    The meet was so nice.
    The weather was gorgeous and the talent was amazing.
    My mom will be so tickled with the compliments.
    I am the cause of her grey hair.
    The next meet is in Seekonk, Massachusetts the last weekend of April/May. If you want info, please email me
    jill-the-ripper@lycos.com
    It would be so nice if some of you could come over.

    Yes, it is over a weekend.
    It begins Friday April 30th and ends Sunday May 2nd,
    There is a registration fee of $35 which includes an apron & any impromptu class that arises. It is being held at Countryside Signs
    508-761-9530
    The nearest airport is Green in Providence, Rhode Island.
    I have motel info too. I think Joe Chips will be there too!
    I am renting a car and driving up with Stevo. I could probably pick folks up at the airport if I had good directions. This is a nice meet too.
    Nik, I managed to get a good 4-beer buzz on Sunday.
    But with Mom there I had to behave! 4 is my limit anyway.
    Love…Jill

    Wow, I just woke up……….. 😕

    What a fantastic meet!!!! Unbelievable talent….every corner you turned the was another awesum talent!!

    None of Jills pics come up on my putter??????? Whats with that? Did jill post the thong pic that Si took? 😳

    I will be going to the Seakonk meet. There will be 75 to 100 heads there including some of the best talent from the North East. Gilding, striping, carving, painting and more! Here is a link to last years event.. http://letterhead.com/meets/mass_mayhem03/

    For anyone who would like to attend, you could also fly into Bradley International Airport (BDL) here in Connecticut on Thurs…..I’ll pick you up, you can stay at my home overnight. Drive to the meet (about 2.5 hrs), drive back to my place on Sun. and i’ll give you a lift back to the airport on Mon.

    I know you’ll have a great time!

    Regards,
    Joe

    hey dewi I dont want to talk you out of going to any other meets they are good for the soul but one that should be considered for next year as a MUST is Mike Myers International meet. As jill and joe will undoubtedly agree mikes meets are out of this world and the whole town gets involved. I for one am planning that trip cos with no meet planned for the UK this year I wont meet up with all my friends from around the world. Another meet that looks like it will be well subscribed from all corners is the first meet to be held in greece in 2005. Maybe jill n joe n other “heads” from over the pond will get to that one, good excuse for a cultural holiday as well.

    Jill the striping by Carol is awsome have you got any close ups.

    Yup, here you go. This is Carol.
    And look at this van! It was done by Jim Norris.
    Yes, the Mazeppa Muster ’05 is definately going to be a great meet.
    And I know that there will be some UKs in attendance.
    But please consider the New Brunswick meet this August!

    Thanks for the pics Jill!

    Carol sent me a CD of her pics…….I didn’t take one shot 😥

    Could you make prints or a CD of yours and I’ll pay you for them at MMIV ?

    Man, I’m starting to look real old……..

    Joe
