LOL - yeah, we didn't strip in front of each other, but quick shirt changes
and things like that back stage were common. But as long as it's professional
I have no problems with it.

Yeah, I can see that. Money has been tight for us too. Last couple of
years have seen some unusual medical issues that have taken more out
of pocket than normal...

Man that's awesome!!! But Huntsville was still not nearly as big as
walking through GenCon the two times I've been there. :-)

Hmm... So we could theroetically ride from Newbern (we have an Amtrack
station just 20 or 25 minutes from here) to Chicago, then change to a
train to Indy?
... I have a step ladder - I never knew my real ladder.
