The first person to send me a videotape or DVD of this event gets a limited-edition, empty bottle of the ultra-rare LOUIE LOUIE wine cooler.
I miss this damn thing every year, either because of a booking or because I just plain forget it is happening. If I am aware of it next year and not booked I’ll be sure to get down there and gather some Louie goodness for ya.
