Brian and I got back from Austin Texas yesterday. The first 9 hours of our 17 hours trek was nothing but torrential down pore…but Flatstock was certainly worth that painful day’s drive. Here’s our booth:

Things started off slow on Thursday and Friday with crowd traffic and sales exploding on Saturday! We sold out of the Flatstock exclusive Box Racers print easily…it was really well received…particularly by girls. Our second most popular poster being Brian’s ‘Scorcher’ bike print! 

But I have to say that some of our favorite moments of the convention came via our buddy Bryce McCloud and his crew Amy and Stacey from Isle of Printing who printed hundreds of letter-pressed soldiers, attached them to helium balloons and organized an Invasion USA from a nearby parking lot!

Here are some more highlights:
-Our booth neighbors; Brian and Adam from Yee-Haw, and the folks at Lure were great to be around.

-Bryce, Amy, and Stacy from IOP; and the extent to which those kids love PIE is endearing.

-Driving the Fowlers around Austin for once, instead of the other way around. We couldn’t fit in their truck because it was full of Dirk’s shoes and hair care products. Me and Dirk stalking Neko Case like two smitten school boys.

-Brian, Jason Munn and Paul buying girly drinks at Polvo’s.

-Pickles, and her effect on her big softie dad, Jared.

-Tons of laughs with the Methane show, and the Vastagh’s utter coolness.Including this lady:

-Meeting Adam Turman & Clinton Reno, whose talent is off-the-hook amazing - both of them.

-The charm of cool-chicks Allison and Eleanor… can’t wait until next time!
