BBB On Channel 3
Notice how groovy the retractable pop-up banner looks between us. Really dressed up the scene. My only regret is when he asked me if I was doing anything on the book "today or tomorrow." I should have said, "I will be in the parking lot of the True West World Headquarters tomorrow afternoon from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. selling 'The 66 Kid' out of the back of my Ford Flex. The first ten people who drop by get the book for $5." But, alas, he caught me off guard and, instead, I said, "No." Duoh!

Went home for lunch and bailed into a painting of this idea, but didn't get far. I forgot I had an appointment with two Cave Creek school girls who are doing a video on the history of Cave Creek. Drove back to the office and filmed a segment with them. Very professional young women:
