Can't wait to see all of them. Ages ago, there was a discussion thread about members of this list putting M&Ms on the stage for Patty, I think to tell her that a member of this list was in the audience. I loved the idea. Is it old hat now, or would Patty think it great if this same thing occurred in Australia? I am contemplating doing it, but wouldn't if it was now considered a daggy thing to do.

It's a darn good thing I didn't name the list FlamingRed at smoe.org, as people probably would be dropping Atomic Fireballs on stage for her and probably ruining the whole show ;-) Mike ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V11 #183 **********************************
