If  Mark Andrews,  Deep Air Drunk,   is a speaker, they need to change the
name to "Death Race 2000"....actually a good name for what this may
represent. I would hope Tom Mount would not want this guy "behind the
wheel"....So Tom, what's the story....will you take his keys or let him go
kill someone??? I am betting Bill Mee $20  on this right now that you won't
let this guy kill with an IANTD sanction.
Regards,
Dan Volker

Mark,

I have heard though the grapevine that you will be appearing at the next
Tech 2000 conference.
They tell me that your booth will be located between the bearded lady and
the dwarf toss.
Could you confirm this?

Thanks again,

Bill
