TIG,
Hey guys I'm back after a busy couple weeks and a short suspension!!! These past couple weeks/month have been crazy!!!!
I apologize for not getting back to many of you sooner regarding some of your personal messages... we've got some catching up to do!!!
Claus - I am sorry the wicket raffle prize took so long to get out to you! For some reason it got returned back to me, the lady at my post office said it was because the O didn't have the / through them. Once it got back to me I was bogged down with work and grading finals at the end of the school year, closing/moving with the new house, and having my charity event for the Make-A-Wish Foundation!!!
I hope you like the costume and I hope it has a nice home in your collection!!! It looks great on you by the way!!!
John - I know I thanked you a couple times already via email, but just wanted to say thanks again for the phone donation to my charity raffle. I hope to have pictures soon, but my 5th Annual Crosstown Classic Crawl benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation Illinois Chapter was a huge success!!! We had about 600 people attend the event and raised just under $10,000 for MAW. That will make 1 and a 1/2 kids wishes come true!!!! To bad the Cubs lost that day!!!!
Shawn - The Boba Fett Mailer is AMAZING!!! I can't wait to get a case from Oscars Cases to put it in!!!! Thanks!!!

House - My wife and I have been slowly but surely moving into our new house! With our busy schedules it just been impossible to find a couple full days to move everything in and get all the work done and fixer uppers that need to be finished around the house!!! So we do a little at a time. We just got some plumbing work done, our shower needs to fixed before we can official start living in the new house. We also just moved in a ton of new furniture. Painting and new carpet is coming up next.
