now that the international meet is over (which i was very bummed that i couldn't attend), i was reminiscing about all the meets that i had been to. ahhhh, the meteorites...
i was thinking about all the really funny, cool, inspiring, stupid, rude, ignorant, and just plain goofiness that i have seen at letterhead meets... some of these may be funny only because of the people involved or maybe it was just the atmosphere... who knows...
the time i showed up at a meet 3-4 hours late because " i don't need no stinkin' map"...
like the time some people bought super soaker water guns and ran around the town and squirted the bejeepers out of everyone...
the time someone brought their dalmatian to a meet and it left a big "doggie donut" out in the parking lot and the owner felt it was beneath him to clean it up....
the time when we were all lining up for the group photo and we had a whole line of people on a plank in the back row and we kept squeezing more people up there until the last guy in the line got pushed off the edge...
the time we were at a medieval dinner and the one guy called the waitress a "serving wench" in a totally authentic sounding english voice... just before she gave such a smack...
the time when someone got caught taking two cases of one shot half pints out to his van because it was "donated for people to use"...
how about going to eat mexican food in an american style steak house run by chinese...
ever watch mike lavalee work? truly inspiring...
speaking of mike... my greatest memory of a letterhead meet was when i was at the "lucky seven" meet in rochester... i had really worked hard on a project panel for it. it looked like a piece of an airplane skin that was torch cut off the plane. it had 180 rivets all arranged just like a real piece would have been. it was so much work and i had a special place all picked out in my house where i was going to hang it. mike was holding it in his hands and told me it was one of the coolest things he had ever seen and then asked if he could have it.... who could say no?
the time we put a "for sale" sign on someone's truck (at the waffle house) and someone actually followed him down the road wanting to buy it...
singing karaoke at a meet up in canada... well, if you heard me singing ....
all the really cool people i have met and the really good friends i have made...
well... those are the one's that come to mind for now. maybe i will think of some more later.
oh... and don't forget about some poultry thing happening sometime in september somewhere in alabama.... i am sure someone will blatently post excessively and remind us.
have a great one!

Well I have only been to two meets. Both of them were awesome. At the last meet my buddy Cicso and I decided to go out to dinner....then right across the street there was a blues club playing some dynamite blues. So........off we went. I LOVE blues. Dancing was great fun. Then Cisco asks if I have ever tried a slammer. Nope. Never tried one. So SURE.....bring one on. I slammed it alright. (the first one I slammed half on the counter, so I had to have another.) Dang those slammers were alright!!I am not a big drinker...and......I felt so stupid the next day. Here I was with all these great Letterheads.....Steve and Barb....Mike Langeuin and many others......and I was feeling like you know what. Eyes all red....hair all messed up......so THAT was not a real bright thing to do at a meet. But it was fun..... Next time NO TEQUILA slammers for me. But thanks for the dances Cisco. We were burnin' that floor baby!

What about the time at a mexican steakhouse owned by some chinease people who sold a Letterhead a metal lite beer dragster promo sign that they had put up on their drywall and painted walls with double sided tape, and told the purchaser to take it down himself....
Repair of the drywall was probably more than they charged for the sign.
But it looks good in my...er..his office.
At my meet this last April, I got a kick out of seeing several people make cool backgrounds on panels. THe happiness and joy these people experienced for making something so neet the first time was well worth the headaches of putting on a meet.

Well, I've only been to a handful of meets but the wildest thing I saw was at Greg Reid's in Seattle. And ice cream truck came around and he lived to regret it. While people kept him busy with orders and questions, basically stalling tactics, the pinstripers where having a field day with his truck. They covered the back, passenger side and actually got some of the front without the driver noticing ! I think he was a few scoops short of a full cone. He did notice later on, or perhaps someone complemented him on the new design motiff, and he came back...with a posse of Seattle's PD in tow. Some of them were amused and some of them were not so amused. We bought out his stock and managed to get the truck cleaned up so one went to jail or had their "weapons" confiscated.

At Letterheads on Main Street watching Alton Guilepse sign his micro signature on the sign-in board (approx 1/16" tall!) Then watching DeWayne Connot come in after him and in even smaller letters sign "Alton you're my hero" (or something along those lines) below it! Cool!!

At a Skeeter Roundup in the early 90's a few of the guys stayed late drinking beer and painting. An unfortunate stray dog happened along. The decision was made to "flame" him. This was done and a polaroid was taken. Another attendee who had left earlier to sleep it off came in early the next morning and saw the dog on fire, decided he needed more sleep and went back to his motel. When he returned later that morning he was told he did indeed see a dog with flames.

At that same meet, some of the doors in the hallway got numbered. Some of the TV screens got striped. Many of the rental cars were returned with stripes.

By the way. Looking over this thread brought back many memories for me. Look back over the posts and you will see I have added links to many of the meets the posters are referring too.
I think one of the best things we ever did was letter our rental car with the hotel's name at a meet in Vegas, so we could park right in front of the entrance.
The craziest thing I've ever seen was Jay Landsburg's auto graphics presentation at a PSS meet in San Jose. He had everone rolling on the ground laughing.

For a number of years Mark and Jeanne Baty hosted a gathering in their hotel room the first night of each Letterhead meeting. Very elaborate invitations were sent out, although most came whether they had an invitation or not. The Baty's provided drinks and snacks, but the price of admission was that you had to tell a joke. Of course, most told several. As time went on, each person always told the same joke until most of us could mouth the words right along with them. What fun back in the good old days. We would have about 50 people stuffed into one small room.
In Waco the police were called and we were asked to keep the noise down. They said a complaint had been filed from the room next door. The room next door was John Cox's and he was with us and telling a joke at the time the police opened the door.
Too many Letterhead meets and too many stories to tell here. But all great memories. Most were of the "you had to be there" sort.

I've seen a few, even some of the same already posted, but the "craziest" had to be at the late night pool party Chicago '85. As I was standing in pool about chest deep watching the Night Manager who was younger gentlemen dressed in a suit, discussing with "heads" a complaint about people belonging to a Wedding Party be splashed or dunked etc., and then all of a sudden someone gives this guy a push and splash- suit and all he goes into the pool. I never seen a guy get out of a pool so fast in my life, and he was quickly surrounded by "concerned" Letterheads that could'nt understand what happened and quickly put cash and a beer in his hand. He then let stay out there a while longer. What a "sales job!" It seems like I could tell a story from every Meet I have attended, but this one is the most memorable.

Flying into Minneapolis airport in the evening to see nothin but snow below on my way to Mazeppa, and being told the plane has to fly around a couple of times before it can land. I was thinking to myself what the hell did I do this for? I could see as we were flying low, how if someone broke down out in the middle of nowhere they would be in a very bad situation. I have never been out this way, so it was new to me. After waiting and wondering if I was "really" going to get picked up. But they did pick me up and drive was a trip. The great part of it was I felt like a VIP when Mike's brother greeted me and showed me around the shop. Then I heard Mike say Hey Cisssssco!! I felt at home, when he said you hungry, want a beer? I have never seen beer out in a fridge. It was stacked outside in the snow. I thought that was so cooool!
And yeah I remember burning the floor with that wild and crazy chick Cheryl in Long Beach at the Blues club, we was slamming that night. I had lot of fun dancing away. When we got back to the Conclave I was doing interviews with my tape recorder. Some of the people were also a bit buzzed so I got some good converstations out of em. but like she said the next day was a bruiser. So when is the next Letterhead meet?

I took 1 look at Herbie Estes' beard at the 2nd Kenlake meet and decided it might make a good striping brush. So I oiled it up and we put a panel on the floor and palleted out some paint in Herbie's whiskers. Alan Johnson got on 1 side, I got on the other and Herbie's brother, Steve, got on the back. We picked herbie up and preceded to negotiate some kind of a line on that panel. I have to admit -- that was the heaviest brush I've ever used.
