Or you could bring in a more local clinician to your venue but you probably wouldn't get the price much below the $100 that it would take to get me up there.<BR/><BR/>I'm not putting the hard-sell on you, Potatoe, I'm just going through the exercise of the thing ;-)Patrick Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04471858995477729220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-69704624877619918312008-06-27T12:09:00.000-05:002008-06-27T12:09:00.000-05:00Pat, I would like you to come to Alaska, but the bill would be too much I'm sure.Potatoe Fisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16726354074226822669noreply@blogger.com
