I've just returned from Indianola and it was GREAT! Lauri and Heidi just headed off after dropping us off here in Mazeppa. I have emailed Steve and Barb pics. The shenanigans were really fun!
Thanks to everyone I partied with! Great to see old friends, and meet new ones, see you HERE in Feb!
Way to go Paula and John Parker!!!!

What an absolute blast! I still don't believe I have seen a human slot machine! (People in Iowa do things a bit different) Brian O'Prey has found the perfect head gear for the Letterheads wanting to become official! Rick Dolphens is the "Reigning Butt Dart Champ"- I am sure he will not let us down at the next compition, February 5 - 7, 2003, Mazeppa. I have 75 cents on Rick
Thanks to Paula and John Parker and crew!

Wow...What great fun. New to letterheads and man can they throw a meet. Never had so much fun. Everyone was great and I am glad I was asked to go. Our hosts, John and Paula Parker were wonderful. A real pleasure to be around. I was also impressed with the "Red Hot Hands" group. Very impressive work....I can't imagine what is going to happen in Feb at the Muster. Hats off the entire weekend. Yeh Lauri, no more dorm room style parties, I need my beauty sleep...haha
Thanks John and Paula.

Ohh I feel so left out.. Ill get to one soon... And I noticed one other thing.. Is it a requirement if your a male to have a beard or Mustache.. I hope not cause I look like Scooby-Doo if I try to grow one. Posted by david butler (Member # 591) on :
You see that picture of John Downer and me up there? What's happening there is that I'm thinking to myself..." I can't believe that I am actually going to give him a dollar for that piece of **** he's holding there!"

Hey! Who let Butler in here?
Thanks for the photos Mike. I've just finished resizing and formatting them in preparation for a page to add to the other meets at www.letterhead.com/meets/
Do you have more photos Laura? Please email them in. You're great behind that camera by the way. Photos are excellant.
Does anyone have a good photo of the meet hosts, an exterior shot of the shop? Love to have a few words to include with the photos. Anyone attending their first meet? Love to hear what you learned and experienced.

Yeh, a great meet. Fun, fun, fun all the way!!!! Plenty of nice work too. Many thanks to Paul and Laura, and Frosty the snowman. I will never be able to look at Pegasus the same way again...........if you were'nt there, you'll never know!!! The cherry whiskey was good too. Thanks Rick. Still recovering.

We missed you Steve and Barb. I hope things are going good.
There was quite a bit of paint slinging but the gold flying and the glue chipping were really cool. Especially the glue chipping. Such talent that was there.
Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :
We're not happy about missing meets either Laura. Money is always an issue, but we could always borrow. The truth is my health, and concerns about having a heart attack south of the border.
I've been a busy beaver tonight. Thanks to your BB photos and Mike Meyers, we have the beginning of a nice page on this meet. Send more!
