• That sounds like a blast, for a great cause. Although it's too far for me to get to, can I still register, and pay the fee, even though I cannot attend???

• Sweet idea Tom, It WOULD be great if there was a way we could be involved even if you can't be there in person.  I'd be up for it.  Head Bald Guy should be able to answer that.
