Aaron asked:
>>Jim, did you mean over at the greenbelt location?

Yep, but let me tell you: I've worked not only at the White House for three different US presidents, but as a contractor for more three-letter secret government agencies than you can name, and those were peanuts compared to getting into Hallmark World Headquarters.

That Shade guy runs a tight ship and he only lets me in if I promise not to interrupt the staff with my "Oh, wows!" and "Hey, what if . . .s."

He also makes me empty my pockets at the end of the visit and salute the big Ramones clock in his office before I leave.

I don't even want to tell you about the time he caught me with a mouthful of original Mosrite picks. I was hoping that, because I tried to smuggle out just the white ones, he would think that they were my teeth.

Bob also makes ugly snorting sounds when I try to make Scotty Moore noises on his guitars. It isn't pretty, Aaron.

Aaron, you could probably get granted immediate access, as you are more mature than I am.
