Quick shot of the group. Thanks very much to the Pembertons, they put on a really nice event!

 

[Brian L]

It must have cost a fortune to feed all those big bellies.

 

[LeeCory]

There was a big tall guy there stuffing his face with Chicken in the bathroom.... was that Mikey?

 

[Doug D]

where is Bob and Hoody??

 

[LeeCory]

If you were not so stuck up you would have said something since I didn't see you... goof The only people who I know by sight is Larry and Mark Cermak.... I said hi to them.

 

[Chris A]

It was great to meAt a lot of you guys, Steven, John Tuseo, Rob Lyon, Bawb, and Mickey too. Sorry Lee didn;t see you there. Next year MB t-shirts should be a requirement.

 

[R W]

chris, I missed you at PWF. (didn't I mention T-shirts a few weeks back, and everyone poo-pooed them.... Ken Snow said they would be "gay-ish"... I was even going to donate them from my screenprint shop). I did talk with Mikey, Meat, Rob Lyon, BobV, Lisa, Jimmy Nardela, the Cermacks, Steve Hoodlebrink, (who was with BobV)and a bunch I can't remember, but I will. I'm trying to remember who I talked to from Millers about our Genesis' problems?? And Lee Cory....I missed chattin' with you.

Bob V.....how'd the Tequilla go last night?? And how many got the Vac Tattoos??

Thanks again to the Pembertons and their people and vendors for a great show. Some nice Votexes there.

There is a MB rendevoux the night before the fest in the hotel, how in the hell did you guys miss that? It's what you do in Pitts the night before, cause ain't no one driving in at 5am....Winterfest starts EARLY!

Nametags?
And how in the hell do you miss Mikeys 6'7 head in the crowd...just look by the wine table.

RW, they wanted shirts by THIS fest, not next year, crack the whip next time.

 

[LeeCory]

It would have been nice if I could have met you guys the night before so I would know who people were. I drove there in the morning "took me 3 hours" and got there 5 minutes before it started.

Next time I will try to get there the night before so I can get a better seat. I had some people sitting behind me that wouldn't stop talking and were taking calls the whole time, and I had a hard time hearing anything they were saying on stage. You would think carpet cleaners would be a little more polite... Now I know what Greenie means when he talks about carpet cleaners...lol

Another first class WinterFest. Thank you Lee and Jim and the entire staff at Pembertons Cleaning and Restoration Supplies!!

We had a great time again this year. The drive in this year was little longer due to a blizzard here in northeast Ohio, took about 6 hours for what is usually a 3 - 3.5 hour trek.

Gathering at Holiday Inn the night before WinterFest

After WinterFest a few of us went into downtown Pittsburgh to a very eclectic neighborhood full of Steelers fans reveling in the pre Super Bowl euphoria. We spent a couple hours laughing and having fun at a Tattoo shop while Lisa got her vac tat and JB got his worked on. Then off to dinner at a small Italian restaurant.
I got a few looks and comments about my Browns hat

It was another GREAT WinterFest, cant wait for next year. It was wonderful to see so many old friends and to make some new ones. Thanks again to everyone who works so hard to make it happen.

 

[Brian L]

Thanks for the pics, Mark.

Looks like a great event.

 

[LeeCory]

Wow, I guess somebody did see me. I am the one in the green shirt talking with Lee Pemberton about the "Restorator" newsletter. I saw somebody take a picture... My wife is in the light green sweatshirt next to me.

Great pics!

 

[Goldenboy]

Lee you are younger then I thought. You post like an Old Geezer.


Golden Boy

 

[Rob Lyon]

Glad to you all again, Chris, I am sorry I did not get much of chance to talk,but we had a blast!!
As always, It was a first class event!!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Great pictures Mark, thank's for sharing them!

That's a very good one of Lee and Jim, Lee never seems to age.

 

[hogjowl]

Who's that black dude?

Ladwig?

 

[hogjowl]

So ... the dude was just at the hotel and decided to hang with a bunch of carpet cleaners?

Was he retarded, or just bored?

 

[Greenie]

Remind me next time to send Mark a staple gun and some nametags.

 

[hogjowl]

Infinite. :roll:

 

[hogjowl]

Hey ... this ain't BAWB you're talking to.

 

[Nate The Great]

Hey ... this ain't BAWB you're talking to.

By the pics I seen the only difference is you still got some hair left and no retarded vac tat? :mrgreen:

 

[hogjowl]

See?

Thank you for your support!

 

[Nate The Great]

See?

Thank you for your support!

You're more than welcome. :wink:

 

[LeeCory]

Waldo... Watch your mouth young man. What do you mean I post like an old Geezer? LOLOLOL

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Waldo nailed it.

I figured Lee Cory for an old codger too.










never even said hi.

 

[LeeCory]

I said hello to more people then said hello to me... NOBODY said hello to me. I talked with Larry and Mark, Andrechelle. I told Mark that I'd like to meet you... However you are starting to sound like an unfriendly bunch...

There is a MB rendevoux the night before the fest in the hotel, how in the hell did you guys miss that? It's what you do in Pitts the night before, cause ain't no one driving in at 5am....Winterfest starts EARLY!

Greenie....I posted about the shirts early in January. I could have run them off Friday night, and passed them out Saturday morn. Just the simple red and blue "mikeysboard" on the front.....vac on the back.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

unfriendly..


Yeah, ok.

 

[LeeCory]

That was written in "old codger" terms...

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

I was disappointed to not meet you Lee.


If you come to Tampa dont be such a puss.
