    Krazy, I don't think that's it. It doesn't have a parking lot

    Don't you think parking would be an issue with that big of an event gong on though? It was one of my first ideas I just don't know now.

    I know where I'm headed. Straight to bed!

    Need to noodle this and doing it awake isn't helping. Maybe sleeping on it will help.

    Goodnight and SCDs to one and all!

    well i think BC because they have made two obvious remarks to "waterworks" at BC...in my opinion.
