i think it would be funnier to someone from here-- i didn't realize you weren't when i asked... not that i wouldn't show you, i'm just trying to get some feedback right now before the big amateur night.
Ah yes. You would do best to hear from people that might be there. I am sorry I can't be a lot of help.
