Well as frustrating as I find it, the fact remains that Jer, Deb, Paul, Andy, etc would not be in the cool shows, if they hadn't put in the effort and time. I'm not sure how this can be up for debate. While fortune may fall upon them, you can't convince me that if they hadn't flown, waited, or paid for the shows (for which I envy them, make no mistake) that they would have received a call from Miles, saying "Where the hell are you? We have several front row seats, at this show that and the other" or any other decision maker. Our LA trip is perfect example. To speak in a statistical terms, It's about repeating an experiment until the desired outcome occurs. These "lucky" people went to the effort, and sometimes expense to make what happens, happen. Bastards:) I'm jealous as hell and I admit it. Ross
