June 5th...... it's a Saturday..... in Downtown Wellington, KS....... I've been starting to gather the bands and doorprizes......gonna start around 9:30 and ruin downtown til 4:30......... daybands include The Roustabouts from OKC and Cliff Majors band, the Delrays. Cliff is a local legend here in Wichita, he used to play geetar with Dave Gonzales a lot....... the local theatre, which is within sight of my shop, is planning to run Graffiti throughout the day.......at eight we'll start the nighttime lineup at the old American Legion (of doom), with Jimmy and the Teasers and wrap the night up with Big Daddy Alright and Johnny Reno.........during the day we have Jime' Litwalk and Jeff Shea from Detroit,and Erik Inclan and Sam Chamberlain from Dallas sittin in at the shop tattooin'......Friday night is the big panel jam/paintin party hosted by our good friend Blaine Scott....... everything that get's painted the friday night gets auctioned off on saturday....the show is free during the day and we're only charging 5 bucks a head to get into the Legion at night......last year we had some great door prizes from some great companies, and some even kooler prizes from Germ, fatLucky's and several other Hambers.......guest artists making the trip are Kieth Weesner, Dan Barnett, Willy Fisher, and Marcos Garcia..... how many of y'all knew he pinstriped?.......I'm working on 'many others'.........
Will Sean from FatLucky's finish my Chevy's headliner and drive it here to the show?. Will Cole and Germ have a cross country adventure like Thelma and Louise that ends in Wellington?....... Will Scratch leave the confines of Burbank to seek solace on the plains of Kansas?.....Maybe Jason from Flyrite will decide to skip a local bike show and decide to 'fly right' up to Kansas...maybe Hamilton will get away from the Metroplex long enough to lay down some lines and drumbeats up north here.......we'll just have to wait and see.......

McPhail

I'd love to see a Johnny ACE in Kansas........ MY hotrod will not be done...... My engine might very well be on the stand inside the tattoo shop though......... Jeff Myers' rod could be there if he wasn't scared........Voodoo Jim already has a kool Buick Hotrod.........but he'll be too busy parking people and doing my bidding to do any burnouts......

Weirdest thing how that car shakes like that at 95 mph, but then smooths out again over that.!?
No, she's safe and sound in the garage. Angie keeps going out to look at it. Or she's doing laundry. Or both.
Took her(your Chevy) for a slow cruise to Krupa's house on Sunday. The weather was perfect and I knew he'd want pictures in front of his house. I'll try to get the drool off before Fatlucky's picks it up. I am really impressed be how well that car runs and rides. A little different than the loud, smelly, bouncy coupe. And chicks dig it a lot more. I got all kinds of waves. Maybe it was the Beatniks plaque?

Will Johnny Ace make it to Kansas? Heck, will I make it to Kansas?
Will McPhail personally babysit my girls while I attend his party? Will my girls put up with McPhail?
No sweat, I think I got the sitters set up...I just got to make enough time to drive to Palacios, pick up the Aces and the Verras and then head north to Kansas....

Your Chevy is defintely inspiring me to get off my ass and finish my 51 Dennis.
I sure wish I could make the show, I have to atennd a Ronnie Dawson Family Reuion in Waxahacie that weekend.

Hey Dennis,
Kan't wait to cruise up to Wellington! Sorry I missed last years show. Renee had to re-arrange my priorities, so we were looking for a new house. She's happy now so I'll be there and we will be donating a door prize for the show.
Let me know if you need any help.
Happy Trails,
Mick

Ya know what?..... sometimes you forget the people closest to you........I absolutely HAVE to give a shout out to my right hand on this thing, Doornail Dave....... he's been working like a dog getting the bands together, and if all the bands weren't enough, Dave is going to be a spinnin discs all day and all nightn when there ain't live music bein played...........Krupa and Buzzard, I think my car likes Austin, at least the few streets that are smooth she likes..........Hamilton, I KNEW you could do it.......does my heart good to keep a readin this post.......now, if we could only get RF out here........

04-07-2004, 01:12 PM
Congrats to Dennis for that line up !! Youve been very busy indeed !! Just dont understand why we have to wait for June to do this ? Is it so Finkd can get ready ? Or maybe to give me time to get ready for Barnett in Kansas ?
Looks like either way I better start the IV of mashed potatoes to keep up.....
lil mike
04-07-2004, 01:43 PM
Dennis, count me and the rest of the OKC Ratty Bastards in. Might even have my Caddy goin' by then.
Isn't once in Wellington enough?!
Hammer Hank
04-07-2004, 09:25 PM
Dennis, I am gonna try like hell to make the trip out in the coupe.. I will be coming from Ohio, the mapquest siad its like 14 hours, knock off a couple (Hotrod and all). and take off in the evening and make tracks twards Detroit for the Billetproof. I dunno, might just hang out in Koolsville. Are you gonna be tattooing? Jime just laid out a Hotrod pinup gurl on my arm... Love his girls! If i came a couple days earlier could we work out some ink? Hammer Hank.
McPhail
04-07-2004, 10:23 PM
Rob, once is not enough for wellington......I would think, that as the EDITOR of a major magazine, You would be dying to be here reporting a cutting edge event such as this......c'mon, Jimmie will be here.........and yes, if anyone wants to get here a day or two early, I will be tattooing....... I just wish the show would run itself so I could have time to tattoo DURING the show........but I'll be much too busy smoozing and taking care of famous magazine types........don't be scared Rob......

I will send you the GRILL PICTURE this weekend...
My travel Time is numbered this year,,

04-08-2004, 02:33 AM
no problem....THANKS for the back-up....I was hoping you and Snacky would bring Rosa Parks and Jesse the Dolemite in the CRC...
McPhail
04-08-2004, 04:49 AM
It means a lot to me that anyone would even consider coming out here to this show..... I have had the idea to do this kind of thing for awhile, just had to get a shop together to get it done..... Johnny, I hate the 'tribute show' things..... that's why I've never been to one. I think the biggest tribute is that this kind of thing still exists because of them......Germ, I fully understand the travel limitations in a year's time. But your care packages are very much appreciated.........I don't just hand those prizes out to anyone, they have to fully appreciate them first........looking forward to getting the grill for Miss Bunni's car, pm me with details.......maybe James White can haul it out here....Jimmie, tell Dean his Kansas girl pines for his fish and chips......we'll race the roadster down Main at midnight........Buzzard, don't let my tires get flat spots.........a chicken fried, steak eatin', truck drivin' sonofabitch............
McPhail
04-08-2004, 04:56 AM
There ain't much for motels here in wellington....... but here goes..... The Steakhouse motel is already full......but here are the numbers to several others.....the Oak Tree Inn-620 3268191. the Sunshine Inn-620 326 8944. Wellington Motor Lodge620 326 2255. these places are pretty clean, just don't expect the Hilton and you'll be OK........Radshit, Just don't haul a trailer through Oklahoma and you'll be alright......... If it weren't for the state of Oklahoma, I'd be really close to the great state of Texas........ If it weren't for the Desert, the people in SoCal would be a lot closer to me.........
Radshit
04-08-2004, 05:25 AM
Well, we know those SoCal fellas don't like travelin' much further east then Las Vegas..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Thanks for the Hotel hook-up....I'll be making reservations tomorrow for a couple rooms....and I'm goin to see if we can leave early to catch some local weekday action there in Wellington and Ark City....maybe pester Jeff finally and see that bitchin shop of his....
Roothawg
04-08-2004, 07:33 AM
If Dennis wants, I'll drag the Fly up Rad. That way we'll have 2 cars there.
If not, I may drive up anyway. I have to leave for Dallas the next day.
Radshit
04-08-2004, 11:36 AM
Cool ...let me know...then maybe I can avoid OK all together...see ya' there....

04-08-2004, 12:12 PM
How are the cops in Wellington?
I will call Jimmy this week, and figure out everyones TRAVEL issues,,,, I wish I could Get Cole to go and maybe we can figure out something, he's just so damned busy he doesn't have time for anything, and on top of that he is being a father to HARVESTER and Me, cause we developed things in our LIVES that need some attention.... ...
The grill is YOURS we'll figure out something it's the one with the two bullets,,,,And I will make the care PACKAGE,,,, you still have the BUSINESS CARD? hahaha
I will INCLUDE a few BARRIS trinkets of rarity.....
