    John and I talked last night and I want to publicly apologize for my reaction. This forum is not the place I want to act like that. No place is really, but, here with you fine folks especially.

    Russ, you're a good man...I don't care what everyone else says about you. Thank you for reaching out and setting me straight.

    You are good people Kelly. I am not one that is particularly good with conveying my thoughts with typed words at times. In an environment such as this, it can lead to misunderstandings. My apologies as well.

    It's Kerry, you dingleberry....

    In an unfortunate turn of events, I may not be making it during the day on Friday now. Maybe late afternoon but probably not the whole day as I originally planned. :(

    Do you need a ride? I should be getting there at or around the same time. A stop by the liquor store is in order for myself before the hotel.

    BTW, what in the hell is the Hotel's address? We need to know where in the F we are going!!??!!??

    I plan to get there around 11:00 Friday morning and stay until sometime Friday night. I was hoping to be able to stay the night and spend Saturday as well, but it wasn't in the cards.

    Does anyone know how much it costs to have a hotel room to exhibit at at Lone Star? Just curious.

    Edit: I see that it's just whatever a typical hotel room costs per night. Interesting.

    I'm not sure "chickened out" is the right term...the man is in intense therapy after what he witnessed last year. Scarred for life!
