[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Ardsley Show & AMC Owner's Participation

["blue77gremlin" <blue77gremlin@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Someimes there are too many shows going on now. This weekend we 
have a poker run on sat and one of the model clubs I belong to has 
there meeting show also ( they meet twice a year ). The  guys 
putting on the poker run are friends of mine. They are raffling off 
a Stude Bullet Nose wall hanging. I was also told I might have to 
work on sat. Too much and not enough time.
