Well, for all you aspiring HAMB stripers here's quite an opportunity (albeit an expensive one). Once per year John Hannukaine and Mike Lavalee put on a striping boot camp in Everett, WA. The bad news: it's 500 bones. The good news: These are two of the best and most publicized stripers on the face of God's green earth. Three days of extremely intense schoolin'. March 19, 20, & 21. Money due upon registration. They only take 12 people. W/ my sorry ass they're down to 11 slots & I know they have people hounding them non-stop about this thing. If you're interested go to www.killerpaint.com and get Mike's number & give him a call. Again, I know it's pricey (especially if you're coming from out of town). But man, if your gonna' learn, why not learn from the best?
I thought Mike Vallely was too busy punching security guards to paint? But I steal all of my licks from Rikki Rokket anyway so who cares.
[ QUOTE ] Mike Vallely [/ QUOTE ] Don't you mean Mike Lavalee ? Mike Lavalee is one of the top automotive airbrush artists on the planet. And John Hannukaine is a paint God.No question. It is hard for anyone who hasn't seen them work,to appreciate who good these guys are. Any new guys who are serious about learning should consider this.

A total moment of skateboarder flashback just occured. Vallely: Pro Skater Lavalee: Pro airbrusher and striper Must be getting old or something. Anyway, it's gonna' be a pretty cool opportunity.
BTTT. jkustom- I really hope to learn some good stuff from the class. I'll share anything worth while I learn w/ you and Keith for sure.
The 500 smackers is literally nothing compared to what you'll be exposed to. I would love to take their camp, even after 'striping for 25+ years my self. Mytlo56, your in for a treat and a life experience. Have a great time!
