Wow! I think it's great you guys like the design. I'm taking four banners with me on the run with the intention of having Bruce and Lemorris, all of the run participants, and everyone else who meets us at the stops, take a minute to sign them. One will be my personal banner, and the other three will be raffled off at future Manx Club events.

Wait till you see the Sea-to-Sea website, currently under development by Jenn at Orange Digital Studios. It should be up this week, and the initial screenshots are awesome!!! Coded entirely in Wordpress, the website can be instantly updated to include uploads from the road every day. Really flexible and interactive . . .It's gonna be great!

By the way . .four sponsors of the run to date, and next week I'm having lunch with Fritz Coleman of KNBC news to see if he would pitch coverage of the run from coast to coast via NBC affiliates all along our route. We still need to raise funds to build the Kickout SS so we can raffle it off. So far, we've raised $15,500.00 of the estimated $25,000.00 build cost. But, I'm confident we'll raise the rest . . .

Put me down for a 6 foot banner to please!

OK you guys, I've got you all down. I'll be back to you all soon with the actual price. I'm still approaching sponsors to add their logos to the banner, so it'll be three to four weeks before I have finished banners to send to you. But, it'll be worth the wait!

I got something new for the Manxter at the DMV this past Friday. I can't wait for October to make it true! Unveiled it last night at the "Surf City Allstars" surf music concert in Camarillo with Mike & Mel, Lynn & Connie Breedlove, and Steve & Sandy Billings. What a fun night . . .That's gonna become a regular event!

Scott - shouldn't that plate be on Bruce's car? Tom

Scott-Drolet · Post by **Scott-Drolet** » Sun Jun 23, 2013 4:21 pm

Tom, Yeah, if we weren't giving it away

Tom-Kathleen · Post by **Tom-Kathleen** » Sun Jun 23, 2013 4:24 pm

OK. It should be on the car for the "publicity" photos if that is legal. Tom

Scott-Drolet · Post by **Scott-Drolet** » Sun Jun 23, 2013 4:28 pm

Absolutely! And, if the winner of the raffle is a California resident and wants to use the plates on the car, I will happily give them the plates and cover the transfer fee.

Bob, come on back, we'd love to have you down here. The band was really good, it even included Dean Torrance of the original Jan and Dean.

If you an get the Posters and banners ready for Big Bear, I can see a ton of them sold, especially with Bruce, Winnie and the BOD autographs. I'm getting excited about Big Bear and Manx on the Banx. I think the banners and your plates are awesome.

Scott,
Quiz: Do you know who Jan teamed with before Dean ? ? ?

Scott-Drolet · Post by **Scott-Drolet** » Sun Jun 23, 2013 11:13 pm

Arnie somebody, and also a member of "The Barons". Only because I have google :[)
