Event Coverage ACME SPEED SHOP - ROAD TRIP TO THE ROUNDUP April "fools" edition

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Acme Speed Shop, Apr 1, 2017.

  1. Thank you!
    This is one thread I really look forward to every year.
    Your eye for signage and advertising graphics makes your
    photographs incomparable to any others.
    I made it to LSRU in '13, It was a pleasure to meet you and Acme Gal then
    and pretty cool to see the van in real life.
    Safe travels, Thanks again for sharing.

    Ah memories. Think it was 2012 at Flat Top Bobs and John you were doing a little signage for his dads shop memory façade in bobs shop. As age catches up with us you were having trouble with the detail signage so I gave you my eye glasses to make great perfect. We sure need to get back to Bobs real soon. Hope to see you again soon too. Y'all going to the LARS?

    Bob is always on the lookout for ACME stuff. He gave me this little Acme Brick Co paper weight. So cool.

    Bob arranged a tour of Big John Chadwell's place. Awesome sauce.

    Looking good! I'm in the hospital with a brand new baby girl so I spoke to my special field agent known in some circles as "the pie man" and instructed him to meet you in Texas for some good times
