Keith----When you go to Australia in 2007 why don't you arrange to have a
video tape made. Those of us who can't go really enjoyed "Thunder Down
Under" which covered the exploits of John Goodman and others. With
Freiburger involved, plus your organizational/planning/chicanery skills,
There ought to be some way to put together or comission a video production
crew to do the job ( maybe you can get Joe Pytka to do it--ask Freiburger)
and cover the entire event and all the American participants. Make it a
commercial venture--I'd pay $$$ to buy the tape, feature Tonya in a fashion
show ("What to Wear On The Salt") to broaden the audience.
Make it a travelogue too--to broaden the market.
