That way if that store is sold out, I can hit more along the way without going too far out of my way.

Originally Posted By Aladdin D Nile Where are you coming from Wavesprite? If 99, I think Bakersfield is your first opportunity.

After that is Los Feliz (LA), then Norwalk. From the East, I think the Bishop store has them. There is a location discussion on Mouseplanet: http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?t=115302

Also, this offer will only be available to California residents from what I understand, for renewals it start on Jan. 1st, I don't remember when this setup starts for everyone else.

Originally Posted By dlkozy cwade, which offer were you talking about? My answer to 37 is only if you were talking about the Deluxe available at Costco.
