I have an electronic copy, and I will take it to a photo print shop to get a good copy. I'll also take some of the other pictures I have, and mail them to springparrot. I will try to mail them tomorrow, no later than Friday. We're both in TX, and things often get delivered overnight...
Unlike from Ohio to Texas where it takes 6-7 days...

Name tags left Ohio this a.m. via priority mail. Should get to BG no later than Saturday.

Thanks again to 7lords for sending the "set-up"!!

From Mansfield to Columbus can take 3 alone. and that's with Priority Mail...

I think Ohio still secretly uses the Pony Express. I've never looked in the back room at the Post Office, but I bet there are horse stalls and changing rooms for the Pony Express riders back there!

You could be right. I have had priority mail packages take 30 days to get here from IA and MA... I think they just walk the ponies across OH.

From another thread, re parking lot videos from Columbus, Dallas, and Alpine last year:

Hey RR... what are the chances, since you are putting these together anyway, that you could also send the trifecta to crashdavis for the BuffettFest Baghdad? I had thought of them being a good thing to send, but don't have the technology.
I can do that. If his mail server can handle files that size, we are good. I also need to find out if he knows if there is/are any Montanese kids attending the event.
I hope it works... hard copies aren't an option? (I hope you don't mind me asking... just brainstorming is all!)
can do both, belt and suspenders approach. I am passing off some stuff to the Balcony Girls and Q&S in Cinci (if I can find them...)

Also, some people may have photo cd's from various shows that maybe they can send... (I'm technologically challenged, or would love to)

Very cool...thanks R2...and thanks Tiki for bringing that up...I missed that one...

And Thanks to EVERYONE that's helping drive this...an awesome group for the troops...

Someone mentioned a warm cockle of something...well I got one from all the support for this, both on this board as well as from the people at my job...

I've been trying for a week, to get my puter to receive pics from people, so that I could make a photo CD, can't do it though. I know how to do it, but, computer is not cooperating
