[wader-dad]

Seminars are in the back of the building next door that manufactures signs- its a good size area now. Rest of the show is in Pat's shop.

[fcap60]

Just follow the cloud of smoke, firetrucks, and smell of burning food.....I'll be there, but that's just a distraction so I can rifle through your plug bags when nobody is looking.
