If there is interest in the car wash I'd suggest the BK on Newberry by the Mall.

I'm 50/50 yes/no...depends how crazy family life is...apparently I didn't "communicate" the last show well enough to the boss so it didn't conflict with going on a boat with father in law to fish...no bueno

should we be sponsors? can get a 10x10 space and 3 car entries. You know me, all about the parking at these things. (at least when I show up)

checking to see if the space will be next to the car entries or elsewhere.

Heading back to the shop, tonight, so I can shoot some and then send 'em to ya tonight. They don't have centers, now, since I was about a step away from giving them away.

If that's alright, lemme know, but wither way I'll send pics, tonight.

We should just pitch in and get Mark a ribbon and stick it on his car when he isn't around and tell him he won something.
