Reading a direct blog post by Tom Staggs boasting about his recent DCA visit surprised me a little. Clearly they aren't taking any chances this time!

I can't wait to see what they have up their sleeve for the more traditional media campaign coming early this summer, with TV commercials and billboards and such. And Constance, the B and C List celebrities and their pathetic hangers-on will be there before the 15th. The 15th is the day its open to the public for real.

Your daughter has exquisite taste in reading material. "slap some rhymes down" Now I picture Kanye or Snoop Dogg channeling Dr. Suess. Snoop is probably a better fit. Or maybe De La Soul.
